This seems to have happened with today's upgrade to coreutils and possibly with the recent upgrade to tetex. I am not certain whether anything is broken, but I am certain that things are different.
Previously in Cygwin: Links to executables showed the full name including the .exe extension, as in (for example) > ls /bin | grep csh csh -> tcsh.exe* tcsh.exe* Now in Cygwin: Some links to executables now show the executable name without the .exe extension, as in > ls /bin | grep csh csh -> tcsh* tcsh.exe* There are now very many instances of this under /bin and possibly elsewhere (try ls -al /bin | grep diff or ls -al /bin | grep naim). I can see that in Cygwin an executable will run whether the instruction to run it is given as execname.exe or just execname, so in that sense possibly nothing is broken that once was not. However, the "many instances" just referred to were made evident by a simple link-checking script that I have been running for my own purposes within Cygwin for two years or more, and in the entire Cygwin provision over that time interval, this is the first time that the phenomenon described has occurred. So perhaps it is accidental, and should not have happened?
