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.
- regcomp(3) now allows character values >= 0x80 if the current codeset is
ASCII (default codeset in the "C"/"POSIX" locale). This allows patterns
containing arbitrary byte values as GLibc's regcomp.

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".
Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-05/msg00222.html
- Fix an initialization bug in XSI IPC on, which could result in
XSI IPC functions misbehave on x86_64.

Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-07/msg00379.html

status. Also only set "dumped core" flag when it's a "kernel" signal.
