@ -4,6 +4,22 @@ What's new:
- Support for CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE, CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks.
- Support for case sensitive directories. mkdir(2) automatically
creates directories within the Cygwin installation dir as case
sensitive now.
This feature requires Windows 10 1803 or later and WSL installed!
- New file ioctls's FS_IOC_GETFLAGS and FS_IOC_SETFLAGS. The actual
inode flags are Cygwin-specific. This allows to set or reset
DOS attributes, file sparseness, FS level encryption and compression,
as well as directory case sensitivity programatically.
- New tools chattr(1) and lsattr(1) to utilize setting and viewing the
aforementioned new ioctl's on the command line.
- Support for exFAT.

- clock_setres is a no-op now.
- Use the new POSIX unlink semantics on NTFS starting with Windows 10 1709.
Deleting an in-use file now actually removes the file, rather than moving
it to the recycler bin.
