What's new:
-----------
- Cygwin can now generate passwd/group entries directly from Windows
user databases (local SAM or Active Directory), thus allowing to run
Cygwin without having to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf file to configure passwd/group handling.
For bordercase which require to use /etc/passwd and /etc/group files,
change mkpasswd/mkgroup to generate passwd/group entries compatible
with the entries read from SAM/AD.
- Add -b/--remove-all option to setfacl to reduce the ACL to only the
entries representing POSIX permission bits.

- Add -k/--remove-default option to setfacl to remove all default ACL
entries from an ACL.
2015-02-03 16:21:58 +01:00
- Add restore action to regtool.
- Provide Cygwin documentation (PDFs and HTML) for offline usage in
/usr/share/doc/cygwin-${version}.
2015-01-27 15:59:36 +01:00
- Make gethostbyname2 handle numeric host addresses as well as the reserved
2015-01-23 15:57:19 +01:00
domain names "localhost" and "invalid" per RFC 6761.
- New APIs: qsort_r, __bsd_qsort_r.
- New API: wcstold.
- New APIs: __fbufsize, __flbf, __fpending, __freadable, __freading,
__fsetlocking, __fwritable, __fwriting.
- New APIs: clearerr_unlocked, feof_unlocked, ferror_unlocked, fflush_unlocked,
fgetc_unlocked, fgets_unlocked, fgetwc_unlocked, fgetws_unlocked,
fileno_unlocked, fputc_unlocked, fputs_unlocked, fputwc_unlocked,
fputws_unlocked, fread_unlocked, fwrite_unlocked, getwc_unlocked,
getwchar_unlocked, putwc_unlocked, putwchar_unlocked.
- New API: sockatmark.
What changed:
-------------
- Revamp Solaris ACL implementation to more closely work like POSIX ACLs
are supposed to work. Finally implement a CLASS_OBJ emulation. Update
getfacl(1)/setfacl(1) accordingly.
- The xdr functions are no longer exported for newly built executables.
Use libtirpc-devel instead.
2014-12-03 17:32:05 +01:00
- 32 bit only: Change default values for socket buffer size to raise
performance on 10Gb networks.
- When spawning a process under another user account, merge the user's
default Windows environment into the new process' environment.
