What's new: ----------- What changed: ----------- - Support for /dev/mem, /dev/kmem and /dev/port removed, since OS support was limited to 32 bit Windows XP only. - Added cygwin GetCommandLine wrappers which will allow Cygwin programs to (appear to) use the Windows command line functions. Bug fixes: ---------- - Fix an off-by-one error in path handling which made the access check for the existing path before a ".." component (introduced with 1.7.21) fail for UNC paths (//server/share/path). Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-07/msg00375.html - Fix long-standing problem which allows to access files via ".." using an invalid POSIX path, for instance, `cd nonexistant/../existing_dir".
