|
|
|
|
- C99 <tgmath.h> type-generic macros.
|

|
|
What changed:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- Drop support for Windows NT4.
|
|
|
|
- The CYGWIN environment variable options "envcache", "strip_title", "title",
|
|
"tty", and "upcaseenv" have been removed.
|
|
|
|
- Revamp console and pseudo tty handling. Rename /dev/ttyX to /dev/consX,
|
|
/dev/ttyX to /dev/ptyX.
|
|
|
|
- The CYGWIN=tty mode using pipes to communicate with the console in a pseudo
|
|
tty-like mode has been removed. Either just use the normal Windows console
|
|
as is, or use a terminal application like mintty.
|
|
|
|
- Improve fork/exec performance on 64 bit systems.
|
|
|
|
- Improve Ctrl-C handling in console.
|
|
|
|
- Try harder to let fork not fail if DLLs are moved in memory which should,
|
|
in some cases, minimize the need for rebaseall.
|
|
|
|
- Try harder to send SIGHUP to children when process group leader fails.
|
|
|
|
- Deal with Windows problem where non-blocking pipe I/O was not flushed properly
|
|
on close.
|
|
|
|
- Attempt to regularize most syscall-related strace output.
|
|
|
|
- Improve behavior of Cygwin when started from a 64-bit process, especially under
|
|
Windows 2003.
|
|
|
|
- Improve multi-threading safety with syscalls that deal with fds.
|
|
|
|
- New heap management. Drop registry setting "heap_chunk_in_mb" in favor of
|
|
a new per-executable setting in the executable file header which can be set
|
|
using the peflags tool. Drop registry setting "heap_slop_in_mb" entirely.
|
|
|
|
- dlopen can now find "cygFOO.dll", even if the caller specified "libFOO.so".
|
|
This is supposed to support applications which are no aware of Windows DLLs.
|
|
|
|
- Make accept(2), poll(2) and shutdown(2) behave more like on Linux.
|
|
|
|
- Raise max number of mount points from 30 to 64.
|
|
|
|
- Output of /proc/maps is closer to what Linux prints and much more useful to
|
|
examine process VM layout.
|
|
|
|
- /proc/loadavg now shows the number of currently running processes and the
|
|
total number of processes.
|
|
|
|
- /proc/version now shows the username of whomever compiled the Cygwin DLL
|
|
as well as the version of GCC used when compiling.
|
|
|
|
- cygwin_conv_path and cygwin_conv_path_list: In CCP_WIN_A_TO_POSIX and
|
|
CCP_POSIX_TO_WIN_A conversions, use the current Windows ANSI or OEM
|
|
charset, depending on the return value of AreFileApisANSI. Up to Cygwin
|
|
1.7.9, both conversions used the current Cygwin charset for the conversion.
|
|
|
|
- Various assorted bugfixes and improvements.
|
|
|
|
- Preliminary, no guarantee, may be broken in subtle ways, Windows 8 support.
