[ANNOUNCEMENT] cygwin 3.4.5-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

* cygwin-3.4.5-1
* cygwin-devel-3.4.5-1
* cygwin-doc-3.4.5-1

The 3.4.4 release had to be skipped for technical reasons.


Bug Fixes
---------

- Fix an uninitialized variable having weird side-effects in path handling.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-December/252734.html

- Fix hang-up of less on quit which occurs when it is started from non-cygwin
  shell and window is resized.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-December/252737.html

- Reinstantiate exporting _alloca.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-January/252797.html

- Avoid hangs when reading /proc/<PID>/status.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-December/252756.html

- Fix vmstat(1) printing an error message on single core CPUs.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2023-January/252857.html

- Fix potential process termination during process initialization.
  Most easily reproducible is the case of non-Cygwin processes running
  with high-entropy VA enabled and loading the Cygwin DLL dynamically.

Looking much better - installed and surviving a couple of cygcheck loops still 
running, ncurses build completed no issues, curl build and tests ongoing, top 
running, cron jobs continuing, X clients running under server - no issues so far.

Will push ncurses build to Scallywag to see if those errors are gone.
