Hi folks,
I'd like to create a 1.7.19 Cygwin package soon. It doesn't fix all problems introduced in 1.7.18, but it should fix at least some of them and, hopefully, don't make anything worse. The SIGUSR1 problem reported a few weeks ago is not yet fixed, though. So I'd like to ask you to give the 2013-05-24 snapshot DLL from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/ a try. Here's a quick list of what has changed: What's new: ----------- - Drop support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP pre-SP3. - Add support for creating native symlinks (CYGWIN=winsymlinks:native or CYGWIN=winsymlinks:nativestrict). - Add support for the AFS filesystem. - New APIs: __b64_ntop, __b64_pton, arc4random, arc4random_addrandom, arc4random_buf, arc4random_stir, arc4random_uniform. Bug fixes: ---------- - getgrouplist now always creates a group list, even if it's empty. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00157.html - In fork, call CreateProcessW with the same command line as the parent process. This seems to make sure the stack is created in the same memory location as in the parent. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00340.html - Fix a build problem resulting in Cygwin functions picking up the wrong new/delete. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00331.html - Some more fixes to signal handling.
