I believe the point was that WSL is no longer quite the completely isolated island it started as. In previous releases, there was no way to get data between WSL and the rest of the Windows envoironment other than files and network connections, and now CMD.EXE and bash on WSL are able to share a common stdin/stdout/stderr. It marks a step forward for WSL usability, but still doesn't make it a replacement for cygwin. -- Erik -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
