Subject: TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 2.2.1-0.2
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2015 10:41:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150818101922.GA21438@calimero.vinschen.de> (raw)

Hi Cygwin friends and users,


I released a new TEST version of Cygwin.  The version number is 2.2.1-0.2.

This test release needs some good old-fashioned testing.  2.2.1 will be
a bugfix release only:

============================================================================

- Revert the following patch from 2.2.0:
  When started from a non-Cygwin process, check if $HOME starts with a
  slash (absolute POSIX path).  Otherwise ignore it.
  Addresses discussion starting at
  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-08/msg00048.html

- Fix output of /proc/cpuinfo in terms of cpu topology and cache size for
  modern CPUs and modern Windows OSes supporting more than 64 logical CPUs.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-06/msg00345.html

- Don't call LsaLookupSids to fetch group information and don't perform RFC2307
  owner/group mapping on Samba/NFS if account info is only fetched from local
  passwd/group files.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-07/msg00270.html

- Precautionally fix a potential data corruption problem in pipe I/O, only
  actually observered in Wine yet.  However, MSDN language indicates this
  might be a problem on real Windows as well.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-08/msg00225.html

- Include <sys/ucontext.h> from <sys/signal.h> if compiling for POSIX.1-2008.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-08/msg00266.html

============================================================================


Have fun,
Corinna
