Hmm, apparently I forgot to announce the 2.0.0-0.4 release. Here's what's new: - 0.4 introduced a fix which drops creating MASK/CLASS_OBJ entries every time, since that influence how the group permissions are set on chmod. Surprisingly so for files with no secondary user or group permissions. Note that this change may require to remove all files and directories created with older 2.0.0 tets release. Alternatively, remove the MASK and default MASK value from those files and dirs: setfacl -d m:,d:m: [...] This change addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00276.html Explained in: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00292.html - 0.5 introduces additionl code to handle scenarios using Microsoft Accounts. When using these, the owner and group SIDs in a user token are the same user SID. This is not nice from a POSIX point of view, but that's life. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00218.html Explained: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00244.html Fix outline: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00337.html Other than that... The important change in this release is the POSIX permission handling change, a rewrite of the underlying routines reading and creating Windows ACLs following POSIX permission rules and POSIX ACL creating rules per POSIX 1003.1e draft 17, as on Linux. For a description of POSIX ACLs, see http://linux.die.net/man/5/acl All changes in this release so far: =================================== - New, unified implementation of POSIX permission and ACL handling. The new ACLs now store the POSIX ACL MASK/CLASS_OBJ permission mask, and they allow to inherit the S_ISGID bit. ACL inheritance now really works as desired, in a limited, but theoretically equivalent fashion even for non-Cygwin processes. To accommodate Windows default ACLs, the new code ignores SYSTEM and Administrators group permissions when computing the MASK/CLASS_OBJ permission mask on old ACLs, and it doesn't deny access to SYSTEM and Administrators group based on the value of MASK/CLASS_OBJ when creating the new ACLs. The new code now handles the S_ISGID bit on directories as on Linux: Setting S_ISGID on a directory causes new files and subdirs created within to inherit its group, rather than the primary group of the user who created the file. This only works for files and directories created by Cygwin processes. - basename(3) now comes in two flavors, POSIX and GNU. The POSIX version is the default. You get the GNU version after #define _GNU_SOURCE #include - The maximum number of PTYs has been raised from 64 to 128. Bug Fixes --------- - Fix potential hang in pseudo ttys when generating ECHO output while the slave is flooding the pty with output. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-03/msg00019.html - Fix potential premature SIGHUP in pty code. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-03/msg00070.html - Fix a name change from symlink to target name in calls to execvp, system, etc. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-03/msg00270.html - Fix internal error in pty -ONLCR handling. Fix timing bug in pty OPOST handling. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-02/msg00929.html NOTE: This change introduces a not yet addressed regression. Native Windows tools generating output with Unix LF instead of Windows CRLF line endings will not get OPOST handling. This prominently affects icacls. - Avoid creating passwd and group records from fully qualified Windows account names (domain\name, name@domain). Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-03/msg00528.html - Avoid potential crash at startup or in getgroups(2). Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-04/msg00010.html - Fix UTF-16 surrogate handling in wctomb and friends. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-03/msg00452.html To install 32-bit Cygwin use https://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe To install 64 bit Cygwin use https://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe If you're already running a 32 bit version of Cygwin on 64 bit Windows machines, you can continue to do so. If you're planning a new install of Cygwin on a 64 bit Windows machine, consider to use the new 64 bit Cygwin version, unless you need certain packages not yet available in the 64 bit release.
