The new locale stuff has been folded into the master branch. This version adds the GNU-specific locale functions for converting strings to numbers ...AND... ...hopefully... fixes the problem introduced with 2.6.0-0.7, see https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00250.html and https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00252.html ======================================================================= The 2.6.0 release is going to introducing the locale_t datatype, as well as all functions related to locale_t locales and per-thread locales per POSIX-1.2008. So, rather than just providing a single, per-process locale, you can now create new locales ("newlocale") and set it as locale for the current thread ("uselocale") or use it directly with one of the new functions taking a locale_t as parameter (i.e. isalpha_l). The full list of new interfaces is: newlocale, freelocale, duplocale, uselocale isalnum_l, isalpha_l, isascii_l, isblank_l, iscntrl_l, isdigit_l, isgraph_l, islower_l, isprint_l, ispunct_l, isspace_l, isupper_l, iswalnum_l, iswalpha_l, iswblank_l, iswcntrl_l, iswctype_l, iswdigit_l, iswgraph_l, iswlower_l, iswprint_l, iswpunct_l, iswspace_l, iswupper_l, iswxdigit_l, isxdigit_l toascii_l, tolower_l, toupper_l, towctrans_l, towlower_l, towupper_l, wctrans_l, wctype_l strcasecmp_l, strcoll_l, strncasecmp_l, strxfrm_l wcscasecmp_l, wcscoll_l, wcstrncasecmp_l, wcstrxfrm_l strfmon_l, strftime_l strtol_l, stroll_l, strtoul_l, strtoull_l strtod_l, strtofl, strtold_l wcstol_l, wcsoll_l, wcstoul_l, wcstoull_l wcstod_l, wcstofl, wcstold_l ======================================================================= Since this is brand-new code, this code *will* have bugs. It would be very helpful if interested developers and Cygwin package maintainers could give this new stuff some good testing. Other than that: ======================================================================= What changed: ------------- - Drop support for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2. - Drop support for very old SUNWNFS filesystem. - Further header file improvements in terms of feature test macros. - Raise number of supported partitions per disk (for raw access) to 63. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-06/msg00136.html - Add a workaround for filesystems not supporting the FileAllInformation info class. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00350.html - "nobody" account support for WinFSP. Bug Fixes --------- - Make sure ldd(1) does not exit prematurely when enumerating DLLs. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-05/msg00185.html - Fix strace timer output in child process. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00067.html - Change blkcnt_t to signed type per POSIX. - Fix definition of SSIZE_MAX on 32-bit systems. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00179.html - Fix transposing invalid chars in Windows filenames on relative paths. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00193.html - Don't raise SIGTTIN from select(2)/poll(2). Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2016-07/msg00004.html - Fix truncl which was using the wrong FPU rounding mode. Addresses: https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=128665 - Fix a regression in ioctl(fd, FIONREAD, ...) introduced in Cygwin 2.5.0. This only affects 64 bit Cygwin. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00001.html - Handle "clear screen" escpae sequence in console window more reliable. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00310.html - Allow kill(pid, ) on zombies to return successfully, rather than only kill(pid, 0), to align behaviour with POSIX requirements.
