This is a bugfix release, including a couple of nice to have changes on top. What changed: ------------- - Allow symlinks to be opened with O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW. - Allow the pathname argument to readlinkat(2) to be an empty string, provided the dirfd argument refers to a symlink opened with O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW. The readlinkat call then operates on that symlink. - Support the Linux-specific AT_EMPTY_PATH flag for fchownat(2) and fstatat(2). - Allow AF_LOCAL sockets to be opened with O_PATH. - : New macro _NSIG replacing NSIG. NSIG is now only visible to MISC builds, as on Linux. - The new locale modifier @cjksingle allows enforcing of single-width character property for usually double-widthed characters. This will be supported by upcoming mintty releases. For the reasoning, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/issues/9. Bug Fixes: ---------- - Define CPU_SETSIZE, as on Linux. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2019-12/msg00248.html - Fix a regression that prevented the root of a drive from being the Cygwin installation root. Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2020-01/msg00111.html - Many fixes in new pseudo console support.
