These will all be in 1.1.5. I've probably missed a few.
Please give a snapshot a try and report problems to cygwin@sources.redhat.com .

Changes:
- Major speedup in tty I/O.
- /dev/mem
- The use of Windows pids, where possible, rather than cygwin-invented pids.
(Unfortunately there is still a "cygwin pid" which is usually based on the
windows pid of the last forked process.)
- An additional option to "ps", '-W' which lists all Windows pids as well as Cygwin
pids. Ps also lists complete information, including cygwin and windows pids, by
default.
- An additional option to "kill", '-f' which will force the termination of any
Windows or Cygwin process.
- True UNIX style argument list passing to cygwin subprocesses. No more strange
quoting of the command line to preserver white space, etc.
- True UNIX passing of environment variables to cygwin subprocesses. No more
conversion back and forth between Windows and UNIX formats.
- Improved (?) parameter passing, quoting, and parsing for non-cygwin processes.
- Fix for the unknown "__cygwin_dll_entry@12" problem.
- Fix for the "CTRL-S stops rxvt" forever problem.
- Fix for "CTRL-C doesn't seem to do anything at the bash prompt" problem.
- Fixes for current-working-directory problems.
- Fixes for a couple of problems found by Egor Duda's new cygwin testsuite.
- Fixes for time conversion factor
- Fixes for overflow problems in select(), especially with non-standard
fd_set sizes.
- Force pipes to be in binmode by default, like they were prior to 1.1.3.
- Automatic extension of the fd table when required by dup2.
- Allow any decriptor and any number of descriptors in poll().
- Fix for buffer overruns in syslog().
- Fix for readdir to only set errno when appropriate (should quite CVS?).
- Fix for tcsendbreak to use correct time units.
- Fix for cygpath -u e:foo
- Allow newaction == oldaction in sigaction.
- Directories or files mounted with the '-x' bit will show up as executable
in a directory listing.
- Proper return value for sleep() function when interrupted by a signal.
- Fix output of text with \r\n endings when fd is opened in text mode.

Hello,
I have a question related to spaces in paths. As has already been pointed
out it is best to use a user name containing no spaces when using cygwin.
Howver please not that at least in Win2K all users are created under
C:\Documents and Settings (for example user User's home directory would
be C:\Documents and Settings\User). Will the two spaces in the path cause
trouble and if so is there a way around this?
Thanks,
Neil

I understand that snapshots are not supported and are generally not
encouraged for anyone but Cygwin developers, but at times like this
(before a new release) it's good to get as many snapshot users as
possible. With that in mind, what's the recommended technique for
installing a cygwin-inst-YYYYMMDD.tar.bz2 snapshot?
It's simple to drop in a snapshot of just cygwin1.dll, without any
Cygwin applications running. But how do you do that with
cygwin-inst-YYYYMMDD.tar.bz2? Can Cygwin tar replace cygwin1.dll
without conflict? We know WinZip doesn't work!
(Of course I could cross my fingers and try it, but I'm looking for a
more general answer to put in the FAQ. Just because it works for me,
doesn't mean I can conclude that it will work in general.)
Or is there a technique to have setup.exe do this for you? If not,
could/should it be extended to do so?
Thanks,
David

If you bunzip2 it, gzip it, rename it to cygwin-YYYYMMZZ.tar.gz, put
it in an empty directory, and run setup there, setup should give you
the option of installing it. Let us know if that works ;-)

Yes, that works a peach, thanks!
(So Chris, no need for a separate 'experimental' cygwin-1.1.5 release,
IMO.)
Cheers,
David

Apologies for replying to a 3-month-old thread:

I've added an entry in the FAQ about using setup.exe to install
cygwin-inst snapshot tarballs. Should be quite handy for those who
need to try them.
Regards,
David

The only way that I know of to do this is to extract in one place and
copy everything to a new location using Windows commands.
DJ has suggested that I could make a cygwin-1.1.5 available as an
experimental download so that setup.exe could download it. I will
probably do that once I'm sure that things are slightly more stable.
I'm still completely unable to duplicate the 100% CPU problem or the
bash exiting problem, so this will be slow going.

Are you also interested in packaging problems? I notice that
cygwin-inst-20001008.tar.bz2 has no info directory, and no symlink
include/mingw -> mingw32. (I don't know if these are intentional,
oversights, or would be dealt with automatically when
cygwin-1.1.5.tar.gz is released.)
Cheers,
David

It's the latter. None of the snapshots have this. When I make a real
release they'll be there.

I explain a process to do this on my webpage at
http://gw32.freeyellow.com/UpdatingCygwin.html . I'll consider adding the
rename and setup possibility.
