Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I released another version of Cygwin. The version number is 2.3.0-1.
What's new:
-----------
- strftime(3) supports %s (seconds since Epoch) now.
- posix_madvise(POSIX_MADV_WILLNEED) now utilizes OS functionality available
starting with Windows 8/Server 2012. Still a no-op on older systems.
- posix_madvise(POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED) now utilizes OS functionality available
starting with Windows 8.1/Server 2012R2. Still a no-op on older systems.
- sysconf() now supports returning CPU cache information:
_SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL1_ICACHE_LINESIZE,
_SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL1_DCACHE_LINESIZE,
_SC_LEVEL2_CACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL2_CACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL2_CACHE_LINESIZE,
_SC_LEVEL3_CACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL3_CACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL3_CACHE_LINESIZE,
_SC_LEVEL4_CACHE_SIZE, _SC_LEVEL4_CACHE_ASSOC, _SC_LEVEL4_CACHE_LINESIZE
- New API: aligned_alloc, at_quick_exit, quick_exit.
- Add support for Parallels Desktop FS (prlfs).
