What's new:
-----------
- Cygwin can now generate passwd/group entries directly from Windows
user databases (local SAM or Active Directory), thus allowing to run
Cygwin without having to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf file to configure passwd/group handling.
For bordercase which require to use /etc/passwd and /etc/group files,
change mkpasswd/mkgroup to generate passwd/group entries compatible
with the entries read from SAM/AD.
- Add -b/--remove-all option to setfacl to reduce the ACL to only the
entries representing POSIX permission bits.
- Add -k/--remove-default option to setfacl to remove all default ACL
entries from an ACL.
- Provide Cygwin documentation (PDFs and HTML) for offline usage in
/usr/share/doc/cygwin-${version}.
- New APIs: qsort_r, __bsd_qsort_r.
- New APIs: __fbufsize, __flbf, __fpending, __freadable, __freading,
__fsetlocking, __fwritable, __fwriting.
- New APIs: clearerr_unlocked, feof_unlocked, ferror_unlocked, fflush_unlocked,
fgetc_unlocked, fgets_unlocked, fgetwc_unlocked, fgetws_unlocked,
fileno_unlocked, fputc_unlocked, fputs_unlocked, fputwc_unlocked,
fputws_unlocked, fread_unlocked, fwrite_unlocked, getwc_unlocked,
getwchar_unlocked, putwc_unlocked, putwchar_unlocked.
What changed:
-------------
- Revamp Solaris ACL implementation to more closely work like POSIX ACLs
are supposed to work. Finally implement a CLASS_OBJ emulation. Update
getfacl(1)/setfacl(1) accordingly.
- The xdr functions are no longer exported for newly built executables.
Use libtirpc-devel instead.
- 32 bit only: Change default values for socket buffer size to raise
performance on 10Gb networks.
- When spawning a process under another user account, merge the user's
default Windows environment into the new process' environment.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fix the problem that ptys master side always writes single byte packages
to the slave side, and pty slaves always read VMIN byte packages from
the master side if VMIN is > 0.
