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.
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
- Support AzureAD accounts.
- "nobody" account support for WinFSP.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Try to avoid spurious DENY ACEs when creating files in directories
with non-POSIX-like (rather: Windows-like) permissions.
Addresses: Report and reproducer on IRC.
- 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
- Use correct FPU rounding mode in truncl.
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, <anysig>) on zombies to return successfully, rather than
only kill(pid, 0), to align behaviour with POSIX requirements.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00188.html
- Fix off_t typedef on 64-bit.
Addresses: https://sourceware.org/ml/newlib/2016/msg01028.html
- Fix weird problem running passwd on newer Windows versions.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00608.html

Well, there goes XP as another software project on which I depend
withdraws support. Itâs not that I canât afford to "upgrade"-- I can get
a reconditioned box with Windows 7 on it for around $200 or less. It's
that I am too old and tired to install the applications and utilities I
would want, find replacements for my old favorites that would not run on
the new box, and then tweak everything the way I would want it to run.
Worse yet, I would probably want to install Linux...and build it from
scratch. Nope, far too old and tired for any of that, especially for
learning my way around the new stuff.

Thank you, Corinna, for helping to keep Cygwin going. I found it when it
was ver. b17 because I was looking for a way to run Joseph Allen's
editor (joe) on Windows and keep all the nice POSIX features. It's been
quite a ride ever since. I'll probably be around for a little while yet,
long as I can build stuff for the old Cygwin without too much trouble.
Goodness help me, though, if I ever get to the point where I find myself
sitting in a wheelchair, staring at a wall.
Cheers,
Jeff

As the 84 year old guy who helps my 70 year old dad do Linux installs
and Cygwin fixes on systems keeps telling me: you are never too old...
it just takes a bit longer to get the circuits going.

That's what I thought when I first read this, but I re-read it a
couple of times, it makes sense :-)

In what bases/radixes does it make sense?

The senior of the guy who wrote the post has someone his senior looking
after his computers. There, no need to change a radix or even use the
numbers. :-)

Somehow the way to setup the default locale has changed; raising
problems as described in
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-10/msg00000.html .
This affects also bash (without -l). It is "healed" per /etc/profile.
However, in all previous versions since 1.7 UTF-8 was the official
default deployed from the cygwin DLL already, so calling cygwin apps
from a Windows command line would work as expected, which is a valid use
case. I don't think this change was on purpose.

Maybe it slipped in here?

It did. I missed a conversion test in the console code. I applied
a patch to fix this (commit 5a3496c3) and I'll create a snapshot later
today. Please test.
