Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released Cygwin 1.7.19. What's new: =========== - Drop support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP pre-SP3. - Add support for building a 64 bit version of Cygwin on x86_64 natively. - Add support for creating native symlinks (CYGWIN=winsymlinks:native or CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict). - Add support for the AFS filesystem. - Preliminary support for mandatory locking via fcntl/flock/lockf, using Windows locking semantics. New F_LCK_MANDATORY fcntl command. - New APIs: __b64_ntop, __b64_pton, arc4random, arc4random_addrandom, arc4random_buf, arc4random_stir, arc4random_uniform. Bug fixes: ========== - getgrouplist now always creates a group list, even if it's empty. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00157.html - In fork, call CreateProcessW with the same command line as the parent process. This seems to make sure the stack is created in the same memory location as in the parent. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00340.html - Fix a build problem resulting in Cygwin functions picking up the wrong new/delete. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00331.html - Fix an incorrect condition which breaks fork after all dlopen'ed DLLs have already been dlclose'd. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00376.html - Fix buggy usage of NtReadFile when reading from device under /proc/sys. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00392.html - Fix an include in <cygwin/if.h> to avoid circular dependency. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00451.html - Fix a hang on exit when calling pthread_join in global desctructor. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-06/msg00017.html Have fun, Corinna *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
