17+First Time Installation of a Current Binary Release
18+---------------------------------------------------
19+
20+Note that, as of release 0.6.0, the installation procedure for mingw-get
21+has been significantly simplified. The installation instructions which
22+follow relate to this release, and later; for instructions relating to
23+any earlier release, or if you are unable to run the new setup tool on
24+any legacy version of Windows, please refer to the following section,
25+under the heading "First Time Installation of a Legacy Binary Release".
1926
2027 To install mingw-get, visit the MinGW files repository at:
2128
2229 http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files
2330
24-and, from the "Automated&nbsp;MinGW&nbsp;Installer/mingw-get" folder,
31+then, from the "Installer" folder,
32+download and run mingw-get-setup.exe, and select your choices from the
33+options presented [*], to install mingw-get. When this has completed,
34+you will then be offered the option to immediately continue with the
35+installation of a basic selection of MinGW packages [**]. If you do
36+choose to continue with package selection, this will be processed by an
37+integrated preview of the mingw-get GUI application, (regardless of
38+whether you have accepted or declined the option to install the GUI); to
39+complete your initial installation:--
40+
41+- Select individual packages, within the upper right hand "list-view"
42+ pane of the GUI window;
43+
44+- From the "Package" menu, (which also appears as a pop-up, when you
45+ click the status icon at the left hand side of the list entry), select
46+ the option to "Mark for Installation", in respect of each package
47+ which you wish to install;
48+
49+- Having so marked all packages which you wish to install, from the
50+ "Installation" menu select the "Apply Changes" option, to complete
51+ your initial installation.
52+
53+After you have completed the installation of mingw-get, as described
54+above, and regardless of whether you chose to install additional
55+packages, or not, you are advised to review the configuration, as
56+specified in your profile.xml file, and noting in particular, any new
57+features which are described in the supplied defaults.xml file, if you
58+have a profile.xml from a previous release; please refer to the section
59+below, under the heading "Specifying the Configuration", for details.
60+
61+[*] By default, mingw-get-setup.exe will offer to install mingw-get into
62+the "C:\MinGW" directory. You are *strongly* recommended to adopt this
63+default; however, if you do decide to change it, please *do* choose an
64+alternative with no white space within its absolute path name.
65+In particular, those who choose to ignore
66+this advice, and install MinGW into some subdirectory of (for example)
67+C:\Program&nbsp;Files", usually discover to their cost that certain
68+tools may not work correctly.
69+
70+[**] The set of packages offered, as the foundation for a basic
71+installation, are equivalent to those offered by the mingw-get-inst.exe
72+companion to earlier releases of mingw-get. Unlike mingw-get-inst.exe,
73+mingw-get-setup.exe, does *not* insist that you install the basic GCC
74+compiler suite. You are free to install it, or not, at your own option;
75+if you do wish to install it, please select the "mingw32-base" package,
76+which is the equivalent of the minimum mandatory selection imposed by
77+mingw-get-inst.exe

83+The instructions which follow relate to the installation of mingw-get
84+releases prior to version 0.6.0; they also apply in the case of later
85+versions, where a legacy version of Windows may not permit you to run
86+the new mingw-get-setup.exe tool. For installation of release 0.6.0, or
87+any later release, using the new tool, please refer to the preceeding

13+---------------------------------------
14+
15+Release date: 2013-09-04
16+
17+This is the first release to incorporate a working prototype for the
18+mingw-get GUI client, together with the integrated mingw-get-setup.exe
19+tool. With the advent of these additional capabilities, the existing
20+mingw-get-inst.exe wrapper becomes redundant, and is now deprecated;
21+it will be withdrawn after the next mingw-get release.
22+
23+With this release of mingw-get-setup.exe, first time installation of
24+mingw-get has become considerably simpler than previously; please see
25+the "Installation Instructions" for further information.
26+
27+In addition to the addition of the GUI client, and the simplified first
28+time installation procedure, this release incorporates the following new
29+user visible features:--
30+
31+- New "preferences" section in profile.xml; this allows users to adjust
32+ the default behaviour for command line options such as "--start-menu"
33+ and "--desktop", to allow the automatic creation of shortcuts, (for
34+ packages which provide them), without requiring explicit specification
35+ of the option on every mingw-get invocation. See the comments within
36+ defaults.xml, for configuration instructions.
37+
38+- The output from "mingw-get --help" has been revised, to provide a
39+ better explanation of the use of the "version selection" feature,
40+ which allows users to force installation of a particular non-current
41+ version of any package.
42+
43+- The "gui.exe" subsidiary program has been renamed as "guistub.exe"; it
44+ remains in place, with this new name, to furnish diagnostics, in the
45+ event that the user attempts to invoke the GUI from the command line,
46+ when no GUI support has been installed. Such GUI support is now
47+ provided by "guimain.exe"; this may be installed optionally, by
48+ choosing to install the "mingw-get-gui" package.
49+
50+- Internal "globbing" of command line arguments is now explicitly
51+ disabled; (any benefit of ever having supported this seems dubious;
52+ however, external "globbing" by shells, such as MSYS' sh.exe and
53+ bash.exe is not, and cannot be, affected by this change).
54+
55+- For users wishing to follow development at the source code level, the
56+ master source code repository has been relocated from CVS, to a new
57+ git repository at git://git.code.sourceforge.net/p/mingw/mingw-get;
58+ please refer to the INSTALL file, in the current source distribution,
