This release bumps the major version number of Cygwin. This is something I was looking forward to for a while since the numbering scheme is a bit awkward. In future, bugfix releases will bump the last number, new feature releases will bump the middle number. And we're trying to avoid two digit version numbers. Bugfix? 2.0.1, 2.0.2, ... New features? 2.1, 2.2, ... Other than that, given that my ACL changes didn't work quite as expected, this is more or less just a bugfix release: 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. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-03/msg00019.html - Fix potential premature SIGHUP in pty code.

To install 32-bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe To install 64 bit Cygwin use http://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.
