 Scrollback:
   * Added an option to enable the command line scrollback when on the alternate screen (used by fullscreen apps such as editors). This option is off by default, in which case the mousewheel now sends standard cursor keycodes when on the alternate screen. Hence, mousewheel scrolling in 'less' should now work without special configuration.
-  * The mintty-0.4 mousewheel keycodes can be enabled and disabled using the new control sequences  `\e[?7787h` and `\e[?7787l`. These can be used to distinguish the mousewheel from the cursor keys without enabling full mouse reporting.

   * Fixed erroneous NumLock detection, which broke numpad support in 'orpie'.
   * Fixed a problem with window resizing (again): after restoring from maximized state, part of the bottom line would disappear behind the window border.
   * The colour of text under a block cursor now is set to whichever of the foreground and background colours is further away (in colour space) from the cursor colour, to try to ensure legibility.
-  * Dropped support for C1 control characters (i.e. 0x80 to 0x9F). This is a VT220 feature, whereas MinTTY only claims to be a VT100  via its "primary device attribute" string. Removing support makes Cygwin's /bin/ascii utility work correctly with any 8-bit codepage and decreases the likelihood of accidental binary output messing up the terminal settings. Rxvt doesn't support the C1 control characters either, but xterm does. Please let me know of any applications where this incompatibility causes problems.

   * Added a long version of the -e option ("--exec"), and documented them in the manual page and --help output.
   * Changed the man page tip on setting environment variables to use the 'env' command instead of 'sh -c'.
   * Added a tip on making bash and readline 8-bit clean, to allow non-ASCII input and output.

+
+For users of cygwin or msys2:
+* From https://github.com/rprichard/wslbridge/releases, download the `wslbridge` archive corresponding to your system (cygwin/msys2 32/64 bit)
+* Install `wslbridge.exe` and `wslbridge-backend` into your cygwin or msys2 `/bin` directory
+* Make a desktop shortcut (Desktop right-click – New ▸ Shortcut) with 
+ * Target: `X:\cygwin64\bin\mintty.exe /bin/wslbridge.exe -t /bin/bash -l`
+ * Icon location (Change Icon…): `%LOCALAPPDATA%\lxss\bash.ico`
+
+Replace ```X:\cygwin64``` with your cygwin or msys2 root directory path.
+The “Start in:” directory does not normally matter if you include the bash “login” option 
+```-l``` as shown above and have a typical Linux profile configuration.
+You may replace ```/bin/bash``` above with your favourite shell if desired.
