Hi folks,
we're planning to release Cygwin 1.7.31 in the next few days. Last
chance to give the developer snapshot a try. Please test the latest
snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/, dated 2014-07-16.
This is mostly a bugfix release. Here's the list of changes:
What changed:
-------------
- Improve performance of send(2), sendto(2), sendmsg(2) when using
small
input buffers.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-07/msg00069.html
- The default pthread_mutex type is now PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL, rather
than
PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK, just as on Linux.
- Align pthread_attr stack functions more closely to Linux.
- Mark pthread_attr_getstackaddr and pthread_attr_setstackaddr as
deprecated,
as on Linux.
Perhaps I've missed it in searching through the recent archive, but
what's the status and release plan for the new passwd/group AD/SAM
integration changes that were previously discussed? That topic seems to
be calm lately with snapshot testing. I'm waiting with baited breath to
get that change in a release to ease some integration wrinkles we're
having.
Joel
