And the change was documented (don't you read the release notes?) https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2017-02/msg00036.html > I would say that the documented behavior in both versions is that they > replace CR-LF with LF, No, the documented behavior is that CR-LF is converted to LF only for text-mounted files; but pipelines are default binary-mounted. If you want to strip CR from a pipeline, then make it explicit. > var=$( prog | sed .)

The -b option still works (forcing binary mode when you otherwise have a text mount); what changed was that the default behavior of pipelines is now binary instead of text, as binary is a better default mode for Linux compatibility. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
