Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 2.6.0-0.3
Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2016 12:46:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <announce.20160727123645.GA15051@calimero.vinschen.de> (raw)
Hi Cygwin developers and maintainers,
Hi everyone else,
I uploaded a new Cygwin test release 2.6.0-0.3.
Supposed to fix the problems reported in
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00306.html and
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00308.html.
=======================================================================
For those building Cygwin from source, the new code is only available
in the topic/locales branch yet.
=======================================================================
The 2.6.0 release is going to introducing the locale_t datatype, as well
as all functions related to locale_t locales and per-thread locales per
POSIX-1.2008.
So, rather than just providing a single, per-process locale, you can now
create new locales ("newlocale") and set it as locale for the current
thread ("uselocale") or use it directly with one of the new functions
taking a locale_t as parameter (i.e. isalpha_l).
The full list of new interfaces is:
newlocale, freelocale, duplocale, uselocale
isalnum_l, isalpha_l, isascii_l, isblank_l, iscntrl_l, isdigit_l,
isgraph_l, islower_l, isprint_l, ispunct_l, isspace_l, isupper_l,
iswalnum_l, iswalpha_l, iswblank_l, iswcntrl_l, iswctype_l,
iswdigit_l, iswgraph_l, iswlower_l, iswprint_l, iswpunct_l,
iswspace_l, iswupper_l, iswxdigit_l, isxdigit_l
toascii_l, tolower_l, toupper_l, towctrans_l, towlower_l, towupper_l,
wctrans_l, wctype_l
strcasecmp_l, strcoll_l, strncasecmp_l, strxfrm_l
wcscasecmp_l, wcscoll_l, wcstrncasecmp_l, wcstrxfrm_l
strfmon_l, strftime_l
=======================================================================
Since this is brand-new code, this code *will* have bugs.
It would be very helpful if interested developers and Cygwin package
maintainers could give this new stuff some good testing.
Thanks,
Corinna
