Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I released a new Cygwin TEST version 2.5.0-0.4. Diffs to -0.3 are mainly bugfixes. What's new: ----------- - Switch to POSIX ACL API by default. - First implementation of pthread_barrier/pthread_barrierattr functions. New APIs: pthread_barrierattr_init, pthread_barrierattr_setpshared, pthread_barrierattr_getpshared, pthread_barrierattr_destroy, pthread_barrier_init, pthread_barrier_destroy, pthread_barrier_wait. What changed: ------------- - In calls to chmod treat ACLs with extra ACEs *only* for Admins and SYSTEM like a trivial ACL. - Bump POSIX option macros to POSIX.1-2008. Bug Fixes --------- - Fix potential hang when using LoadLibraryEx(LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_SYSTEM32). Reported and tested via IRC. - Fix a bug in ACL handling which might result in a spurious extra entry for the primary group. Self-observed. - printf(3): Handle multibyte decimal point in field size computation. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-02/msg00014.html - cygwin_conv_path: Always preserve trailing backslashes in conversion to POSIX paths. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-01/msg00480.html - Make buffered console characters visible to select(). Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-12/msg00118.html - Always report relocation problems, not only in debug DLL. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-02/msg00147.html - Don't spill network credentials of privileged user changing the user context via setuid method 1 (https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd1) into user session Have fun, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- 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
