Subject: TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 2.5.0-0.5
Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 22:03:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160311220135.GC3175@calimero.vinschen.de> (raw)
Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I released a new Cygwin TEST version 2.5.0-0.5.
Refresh with mostly bugfixes.
What's new:
-----------
- Full set of POSIX.1e ACL API functions now implemented.
New APIs: acl_add_perm, acl_calc_mask, acl_clear_perms, acl_copy_entry,
acl_copy_ext, acl_copy_int, acl_create_entry, acl_delete_def_file,
acl_delete_entry, acl_delete_perm, acl_dup, acl_free, acl_from_text,
acl_get_entry, acl_get_fd, acl_get_file, acl_get_permset, acl_get_qualifier,
acl_get_tag_type, acl_init, acl_set_fd, acl_set_file, acl_set_permset,
acl_set_qualifier, acl_set_tag_type, acl_size, acl_to_text, acl_valid.
- Most libacl extensions now implemented, too:
New APIs: acl_check, acl_cmp, acl_entries, acl_equiv_mode, acl_error,
acl_extended_fd, acl_extended_file, acl_extended_file_nofollow,
acl_from_mode, acl_get_perm, acl_to_any_text.
- First implementation of pthread_barrier/pthread_barrierattr functions.
New APIs: pthread_barrierattr_init, pthread_barrierattr_setpshared,
pthread_barrierattr_getpshared, pthread_barrierattr_destroy,
pthread_barrier_init, pthread_barrier_destroy, pthread_barrier_wait.
- New APIs: clog10, clog10f.
What changed:
-------------
- Including <sys/acl.h> now *only* includes the POSIX ACL API. To include
the old Solaris API, include <cygwin/acl.h>.
- In calls to chmod treat ACLs with extra ACEs *only* for Admins and
SYSTEM like a trivial ACL.
- Bump POSIX option macros to POSIX.1-2008.
- Profiling data, specifically pc sampling, now covers all threads of a
program and not just the main thread. Environment variable GMON_OUT_PREFIX
enables multiple gmon.out files to preserve profiling data after fork or
from multiple program runs.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fix potential hang when using LoadLibraryEx(LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH_SYSTEM32).
Reported and tested via IRC.
- Fix a bug in ACL handling which might result in a spurious extra entry
for the primary group. Self-observed.
- printf(3): Handle multibyte decimal point in field size computation.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-02/msg00014.html
- cygwin_conv_path: Always preserve trailing backslashes in conversion
to POSIX paths.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-01/msg00480.html
- Make buffered console characters visible to select().
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-12/msg00118.html
- Always report relocation problems, not only in debug DLL.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-02/msg00147.html
- Don't spill network credentials of privileged user changing the user
context via setuid method 1
(https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/ntsec.html#ntsec-nopasswd1) into
user session
Have fun,
Corinna
