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.
|
|
|
|
- /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).
|
|
|
|
- Provide Cygwin documentation (PDFs and HTML) for offline usage in
|
|
/usr/share/doc/cygwin-${version}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
What changed:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- New internal exception handling based on SEH on 64 bit Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
- Improve various header files for C++- and standards-compliance.
|
|
|
|
- Doug Lea malloc implementation update from 2.8.3 to the latest 2.8.6.
|
|
