This is the only change compared to 2.8.0-0.3. I'm planning for a release next week. I'm still trying to find the cause for a bug, but either way, I'll release next week. Please test. ======================================================================= What's new: ----------- - New API: timingsafe_bcmp, timingsafe_memcmp - New API: dladdr What changed: ------------- - cygcheck and strace now always generate output with Unix LF line endings, rather than with DOS/Windows CR LF line endings. - fork now preserves the load order of unrelated dlopen'd modules. - pthread_cond_wait now acts like Linux and BSD: Resume waiting for the condition variable as if it was not interrupted, rather than returning 0. Bug Fixes --------- - Fix a few problems which are the combined culprit of fork failing when called recursively from a pthread. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-03/msg00113.html - Fix potential buffer overflow in getrandom. - Fix write(2) return value for writes > 2 GB. - Workaround Windows NUL having the same problem for writes > 4 GB. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2017-03/msg00144.html - Fix a potential crash in duplocale. Addresses: https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2017/msg00166.html - Fix dlopen/dlclose reference counting to make sure FreeLibrary isn't called too early in forked process.
