Now released for both 32bit and 64bit Cygwin:
Notable changes:
* Added import libraries for msvcr40d.dll, msvcrtd.dll, msvcr70d.dll,
msvcr71d.dll, msvcr80d.dll, msvcr100d.dll, msvcr110d.dll.
* Better CRT API consistency between UCRT and MSVCRT, making many APIs
available to earlier versions of the MSVCR* runtime as well.
* CRTDLL stat API fixes.
* Updated Hyper-V headers.
* Synchronized with Wine headers (from Wine 10.9).
* Many other new win32 APIs.
* Fix _atexit call differing between DLLs and EXEs.
* Basic support for ARM64EC targets (arm64ec-w64-mingw32).
* Make it possible to build winpthreads with MSVC and clang-cl.
* Many small fixes for gendef, genidl and genpeimg.
We have reports of failing Cygwin builds after this update:

Caused by changing the definition type to cmsghdr:

Was this upgrade tested with a current Cygwin build before deployment?
