Babun 1.2.0 was just released at #DevoxxPL! We added the following:
Brand new 'shell-here' plugin
Now you can open babun directly in any folder by right clicking your mouse and choosing the Open Babun here option.
You don’t want to have that option in your windows context menu? No problem, just execute babun shell-here remove.
~/.local/bin and ~/bin added to the PATH
In 1.2.0 we added a ~/.local/bin and a symlink ~/bin pointing to ~/.local/bin to the PATH.
We added ACK - the better grep
Ack is a grep replacement designed for developers. Now instead of typing
$ grep pattern $(find . -name '*.pl' -or -name '*.pm' -or -name '*.pod' | grep -v .svn)
you can type
$ ack --perl pattern
For details visit http://beyondgrep.com/.
We replaced the cygwin’s ping with the windows ping
Why? Because Cygwin’s ping requires admin rights to be executed. Besides the windows ping supports IPv6.
The cygwin’s ping was renamed to cygping.
We added uninstall.bat script
It is stored in Babun’s installation directory. It makes sure that all footprints left by plugins (such as registry entries) are deleted when babun is uninstalled.
Full list of changes
crontab weirdness #212
Cygwin’s ping does not work without admin rights #300
find 'cygdrive/j' : Permission denied #282
BABUN_HOME not always set #298

New: Auto update supports cntlm proxy (fix for #273).

After months of hard work a new version of Babun has been finally promoted to production!
This release features an important change in the auto-update behavior.
From now on babun update will also check and update the underlying Cygwin instance with all Cygwin packages that have been already installed, apart from updating babun itself.
The main reason for this change was to make sure that the packages installed with pact are compatible with the underlying Cygwin instance. Pact always fetches the newest available package from the Cygwin repository, but it does not update Cygwin’s internal DLLs', thus it was possible that a new version of given package like git, ruby, emacs etc. would not work on top of the older Cygwin version embedded in babun.
For this reason it is important to keep pact packages and Cygwin core libraries 'in sync'.
Babun will automatically check on startup if there is a newer Cygwin version available and prompt the user to update it. On Cygwin update babun will close itself, run the Cygwin installer in a separate cmd process and restart itself once the installation has been completed. If there is a newer version of Cygwin available pact will not allow the user to install new packages. Instead they will be prompted with the following message:
{ ~ } ยป pact install arj ~
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRITICAL: The underlying Cygwin version is outdated!
It's forbidden to install new packages as they may fail to work.
Execute 'babun update' and follow the instructions to update Cygwin.
If you know what you are doing add '--force' flag to proceed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As you can see it is still possible to install packages using the --force option but it is not guaranteed that the downloaded package will work correctly.
Big thanks to @v-yadli for helping us designing and developing the concept of this feature.
The auto-update improvement is not the only change in 1.1.0. This release is shipped with other new features coded up during several hackergartens, hacking sessions and long coding nights. The most important features are:
'pact update', so that you may update a package to a newer version
'fake sudo', so that you can run scripts containg sudo
soft links to harddrives, like /c, /d, so that you may forget about /cygdrive/c
a lot of fixed bugs; all of them are listed here: https://github.com/babun/babun/issues/266
Many thanks to everybody who contributed to this release via pull requests, by helping other users, or even by fixing typos!
Also a big thank you to @almorelle, @vanushv, @tonilampela, @v-yadli, @harijoe, @airborn and @kubamarchwicki for taking time and effort of testing this version.
In case you have the previous version installed it’s important to invoke 'babun update' to stay up-to-date!
We really hope that you’ll like this release. If you do, tweet about it, star babun on github or just… enjoy it :)
Cheers

Babun 1.0.1 is out!
There’s a lot of goodies that have been included in this release - the most importants ones are:
There is no interference with the existing Cygwin installations.
You may have whicespace or accent characters in your Windows username.
You may install to a custom folder using the install.bat /t "d:\babun_folder" switch.
You may install babun having the %HOME% env variable set (babun will reuse the user’s Windows home folder)
You can easily pin babun to taskbar
If you already have babun 1.0.0 just invoke "babun update" and enjoy the newest version!
We would like to thank the community for being very active and supportive. Special thanks to Babun’s contributors:
