What's new: ----------- - For performance reasons, Cygwin does not try to create sparse files automatically anymore, unless you use the new "sparse" mount option. - Added Windows console cursor appearance support: - Show/Hide Cursor mode (DECTCEM): "ESC[?25h" / "ESC[?25l" - Set cursor style (DECSCUSR): "ESC[n q" (note the space before the q); where n is 0, 1, 2 for block cursor, 3, 4 for underline cursor (all disregarding blinking mode), or > 4 to set the cursor height to a percentage of the cell height. - New API: cfsetspeed. Bug fixes: ---------- - Fix handle leak in rewinddir(3). This affected Windows 2000 only. - Allow quoted filenames in @ argument expression when called from native processes. Fixes http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-12/msg00276.html - Fix a bug in initializing the stdio settings at process startup, which could result in missing output. Fixes http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-01/msg00008.html - rename("dir1", "dir2") could result in deleting dir2, even if the rename didn't take place, for instance, if dir1 and dir2 were not on the same device. - rename("file1", "file2") would fail in almost all cases on NFS, due to a bug in the NFS driver's implementation of the FileRenameInformation info class.
