The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* libcrypt0-2.0-1
* libcrypt-devel-2.0-1
* mingw64-i686-crypt-2.0-1
* mingw64-x86_64-crypt-2.0-1
This packages provides a library which exports the functions crypt(3),
crypt_r(3), encrypt(3), and setkey(3). The created passwords are 100%
identical to those created by the Linux crypt(3).
This release is a completely new implementation based on musl's. It adds
the reentrant crypt_r function, as well as support for MD5, Blowfish,
SHA-256, and SHA-512 ciphers as on other systems:
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/crypt.3.html
The crypt.exe binary was removed as it was non-standard and intended for
use on Windows 9x systems.
