Tested the 64 bit DLL only: ) - Allow quoting of arguments to the CYGWIN environment variable, i.e., ) set CYGWIN=error_start="c:\bin\someprogram -T" I tested it with what I use as 'CYGWIN="glob:ignorecase"' and that works. ) - Try harder to do the right thing in the presence of console screen buffers, ) i.e., never clear the screen buffer unless the user asked for it. Also ) fix screen escape sequences which attempted to scroll the screen. ) Addresses: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/threads.html#00274 I start a console window, set the buffer to 1100 lines, display a lot in it. Start bash, type ^L: the console window resizes to be only one line. Same result if bash was started first, then display data, then ^L. ) ) - Make "ps -W" report different WINPIDs for processes that have been execed ) from, e.g., cmd. ) Addresses: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/threads.html#00382 I have not found any duplicate processes. That thread reference isn't particularly useful: I had to search the archives. ) - Avoid error messages from the signal handler if we're exiting. ) Addresses: A random irc #cygwin complaint. Not tested. I'm always wary about testing more than the DLL because I'm not absolutely sure how to back out of it. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
