Hi folks,
The latest snapshot, 2014-04-10, is a snapshot from CVS HEAD again.
It contains the latest crazy ideas in terms of the user and group
account creation without requiring the /etc/passwd and /etc/group
files.
Not a lot has changed since we made a break to test for 1.7.29,
but there's one important change I'd like to point out:
* cygserver now provides system-wide passwd/group entry caching.
All processes started *after* cygserver will try to fetch passwd
and group entries from cygserver. While this is probably a bit
slow at the start, the longer cygserver runs, the more information
is present and later started processes will get the information
with all due speed.
Do we need to install cygserver.exe from the snapshot in order to get
this functionality, or is cygwin1.dll enough?
