This release got ripped out all the new POSIX ACL handling code due to a design flaw which needs much more work. ======================================================================== Note Those of you testing the previous versions should make sure to duplicate files they created with those test versions and remove the old files. I can't guarantee that the ACLs created by these test versions won't collide with ACLs created by future versions of Cygwin. Sorry! ======================================================================== Therefore, the upcoming Cygwin 2.0.0 release will be basically a bug fix release only. I'm planning to release it next week. What's new: ----------- - 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 What changed: ------------- - 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.

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.
