What's new:
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
- /proc/cygdrive is a new symlink pointing to the current cygdrive prefix.
|
|
This can be utilized in scripts to access paths via cygdrive prefix, even
|
|
if the cygdrive prefix has been changed by the user.
|
|
|
|
- /proc/partitions now prints the windows mount points the device is mounted
|
|
on. This allows to recognize the underlying Windows devices of the Cygwin
|
|
raw device names.
|
|
|
|
- New API: quotactl, designed after the Linux/BSD function, but severely
|
|
restricted: Windows only supports user block quotas on NTFS, no group
|
|
quotas, no inode quotas, no time constraints.
|
|
|
|
- New APIs: ffsl, ffsll (glibc extensions).
|
|
|
|
- New API: stime (SVr4).
|
|
|
|
|
|
What changed:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- New internal exception handling based on SEH on 64 bit Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
- When exec'ing applications, check if $PATH exists and is non-empty. If not,
|
|
add PATH variable with Cygwin installation directory as content to Windows
|
|
environment to allow loading of Cygwin system DLLs.
|
|
|
|
- Disable CYGWIN "dosfilewarning" option by default.
|
|
|
|
- Improve various header files for C++- and standards-compliance.
|
|
|
|
- Doug Lea malloc implementation update from 2.8.3 to the latest 2.8.6.
|
|
|
|
- atexit is now exported as statically linked function from libcygwin.a.
|
|
This allows reliable access to the DSO handle of the caller for newly
|
|
built executables. The former atexit entry point into the DLL remains
|
|
for backward compatibility only.
|
|
|
