Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released Cygwin 1.7.16. This is mainly a bugfix release. Cygwin also comes with a new cygwin-debuginfo package for Cygwin DLL and Cygwin utility debugging purposes. The cygwin-debug package introduced with 1.7.15 is consequentially deprecated, in favor of the new debuginfo package. What's new: =========== - New API: getmntent_r, memrchr. - Support ReFS. Bug fixes: ========== - Fix pipe creation problem which manifested as a problem creating a fifo. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00253.html - Fix hang when calling pthread_testcancel in a canceled thread.
