Please note that this release won't work on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 or 2003 R2. At least Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 are required. What's new: ----------- - Support for POSIX-1.2008 locale objects and per-thread locales. New API per POSIX-1.2008: newlocale, freelocale, duplocale, uselocale, nl_langinfo_l, isalnum_l, isalpha_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, tolower_l, toupper_l, towctrans_l, towlower_l, towupper_l, wctrans_l, wctype_l, strcasecmp_l, strcoll_l, strerror_l, strfmon_l, strftime_l, strncasecmp_l, strxfrm_l, wcscasecmp_l, wcscoll_l, wcstrncasecmp_l, wcstrxfrm_l. New API, GNU extensions: isascii_l, toascii_l, strptime_l, strtod_l, strtof_l, strtol_l, strtold_l, strtoll_l, strtoul_l, strtoull_l, wcsftime_l, wcstod_l, wcstof_l, wcstol_l, wcstold_l, wcstoll_l, wcstoul_l, wcstoull_l. - locale(1) now supports a -i/--input option to fetch the current input locale (this is basically equivalent to the current keyboard layout setting). - New API: pthread_getname_np, pthread_setname_np. What changed: ------------- - Drop support for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003/2003 R2. - Drop support for very old SUNWNFS filesystem. - Further header file improvements in terms of feature test macros. - Raise number of supported partitions per disk (for raw access) to 63.

Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00350.html - Support AzureAD accounts. - "nobody" account support for WinFSP. Bug Fixes --------- - Try to avoid spurious DENY ACEs when creating files in directories with non-POSIX-like (rather: Windows-like) permissions.
