Message-ID: <20160831135845.GA20948@calimero.vinschen.de> (raw)
Hi folks,
I uploaded a new Cygwin release 2.6.0-1.
Please note that this release won't work on Windows XP and Windows
Server 2003 or 2003 R2. At least Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008
are required.
What's new:
-----------
- Support for POSIX-1.2008 locale objects and per-thread locales.
New API per POSIX-1.2008: newlocale, freelocale, duplocale, uselocale,
nl_langinfo_l, isalnum_l, isalpha_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, tolower_l, toupper_l, towctrans_l, towlower_l, towupper_l,
wctrans_l, wctype_l, strcasecmp_l, strcoll_l, strerror_l, strfmon_l,
strftime_l, strncasecmp_l, strxfrm_l, wcscasecmp_l, wcscoll_l,
wcstrncasecmp_l, wcstrxfrm_l.
New API, GNU extensions: isascii_l, toascii_l, strptime_l, strtod_l,
strtof_l, strtol_l, strtold_l, strtoll_l, strtoul_l, strtoull_l, wcsftime_l,
wcstod_l, wcstof_l, wcstol_l, wcstold_l, wcstoll_l, wcstoul_l, wcstoull_l.
- locale(1) now supports a -i/--input option to fetch the current input
locale (this is basically equivalent to the current keyboard layout setting).
- New API: pthread_getname_np, pthread_setname_np.
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.

info class.

- Support AzureAD accounts.
- "nobody" account support for WinFSP.

with non-POSIX-like (rather: Windows-like) permissions.
