Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released Cygwin 1.7.31-3. This is another bugfix release to fix
the bugfix release.
The only difference to 1.7.31-2 is a fix to the socket send(2) function
where a counter is not reset correctly so the function only sends as
much bytes as fit into the socket buffers in a single go. This fixes
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-07/msg00291.html
Please note that the new passwd/group handling still isn't in this
version of Cygwin. The changes are still work in progress.
What changed:
-------------
- Improve performance of send(2), sendto(2), sendmsg(2) when using small
input buffers.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-07/msg00069.html
- The default pthread_mutex type is now PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL, rather than
PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK, just as on Linux.
- Align pthread_attr stack functions more closely to Linux.
- Mark pthread_attr_getstackaddr and pthread_attr_setstackaddr as deprecated,
as on Linux.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fix various assorted bugs (potential buffer overruns, resource leaks, you
name it) caught by Coverity.
- Fix return value of getgrouplist if the number of groups is bigger than the
application-provided buffer can hold.
See https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-05/msg00469.html
- Fix a spurious error condition in calls to getaddrinfo on x86_64.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-06/msg00350.html
- Workaround a problem following native NTFS symlinks. This patch has been
not applied to 1.7.30, accidentally.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-04/msg00384.html
- Fix an off-by-one bug in res_querydomain.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-07/msg00052.html
- Don't catch STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW preliminary on 64 bit.
Fixes: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-07/msg00046.html
- Make sure that signals are properly delivered when sending lots of signals
in succession.
Fixes: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-07/threads.html#00149
To install 32-bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe
To install 64 bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
The 64 bit Cygwin distribution doesn't yet come with as many packages
as the 32 bit version, but more packages will be available over time.
If you're already running a 32 bit version of Cygwin on 64 bit Windows
machines, you can continue to do so. If you're planning a new install
of Cygwin on a 64 bit Windows machine, consider to use the new 64 bit
Cygwin version, unless you need certain packages not yet available in
the 64 bit release.
Have fun,
Corinna
