Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I released a new Cygwin TEST version 2.5.0-0.7. Refresh with the following changes: - Preliminary patch to fix the getaddrinfo issue reported in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-07/msg00350.html. Patch outlined in https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-03/msg00211.html. - Don't write the NULL SID deny ACE if the ACL is a simple POSIX ACL which is easy to handle. I.e.: - Simple ACL with only three ACEs for owner, group and other (6 for a directory) - Owner permissions >= group permissions - Group permissions >= other permissions - No explicit mask value - No special POSIX permission bits (S_ISUID, S_ISGID, S_ISVTX). Other changes compared to 2.4.1: What's new: ----------- - Full set of POSIX.1e ACL API functions now implemented. New APIs: acl_add_perm, acl_calc_mask, acl_clear_perms, acl_copy_entry, acl_copy_ext, acl_copy_int, acl_create_entry, acl_delete_def_file, acl_delete_entry, acl_delete_perm, acl_dup, acl_free, acl_from_text, acl_get_entry, acl_get_fd, acl_get_file, acl_get_permset, acl_get_qualifier, acl_get_tag_type, acl_init, acl_set_fd, acl_set_file, acl_set_permset, acl_set_qualifier, acl_set_tag_type, acl_size, acl_to_text, acl_valid. - Most libacl extensions now implemented, too: New APIs: acl_check, acl_cmp, acl_entries, acl_equiv_mode, acl_error, acl_extended_fd, acl_extended_file, acl_extended_file_nofollow, acl_from_mode, acl_get_perm, acl_to_any_text. - 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. - New APIs: clog10, clog10f. What changed: ------------- - Including <sys/acl.h> now *only* includes the POSIX ACL API. To include the old Solaris API, include <cygwin/acl.h>. - 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. - Profiling data, specifically pc sampling, now covers all threads of a program and not just the main thread. Environment variable GMON_OUT_PREFIX enables multiple gmon.out files to preserve profiling data after fork or from multiple program runs. 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.
