[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Cygwin 2.5.1-1

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi Cygwin friends and users,


I just released the new Cygwin version 2.5.1-1.

2.5.1 is a bugfix release only.

Additionally the cygwin-devel package contains a few more changes to the
header files.  This is a still ongoing process, revamping the header
files to be closer to FreeBSD headers as upstream, as well as being
better aligned to POSIX requirements and Glibc expectations.


Bug Fixes
---------

- Fix strxfrm/wcsxfrm return value if output buffer is too small.  Fix
  wcsxfrm return value either way.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-04/msg00232.html

- Fix bug introduced in 2.5.0: Fix condition specifying when to write a
  NULL SID ACE.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-04/msg00400.html

- Remove spurious checks for already initialized pthread object in pthread
  object init functions.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-04/msg00473.html


Have fun,
Corinna
