Hi Cygwin friends and users,


I just released a new Cygwin version 2.5.0-1.

User-visible changes compared to 2.4.1:


What's new:
-----------

- Full set of POSIX.1e ACL API functions now implemented.
  New APIs: acl_add_perm, acl_calc_mask, acl_clear_perms, acl_copy_entry,
  acl_copy_ext, acl_copy_int, acl_create_entry, acl_delete_def_file,
  acl_delete_entry, acl_delete_perm, acl_dup, acl_free, acl_from_text,
  acl_get_entry, acl_get_fd, acl_get_file, acl_get_permset, acl_get_qualifier,
  acl_get_tag_type, acl_init, acl_set_fd, acl_set_file, acl_set_permset,
  acl_set_qualifier, acl_set_tag_type, acl_size, acl_to_text, acl_valid.

- Most libacl extensions now implemented, too:
  New APIs: acl_check, acl_cmp, acl_entries, acl_equiv_mode, acl_error,
  acl_extended_fd, acl_extended_file, acl_extended_file_nofollow,
  acl_from_mode, acl_get_perm, acl_to_any_text.

- First implementation of pthread_barrier/pthread_barrierattr functions.
  New APIs: pthread_barrierattr_init, pthread_barrierattr_setpshared,
  pthread_barrierattr_getpshared, pthread_barrierattr_destroy,
  pthread_barrier_init, pthread_barrier_destroy, pthread_barrier_wait.

- Enabled console reports requested by escape sequences: Requesting primary
  and secondary device attributes, requesting cursor position report; see
  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2012-q3/msg00019.html

- New APIs: clog10, clog10f, nexttoward, nexttowardf, nexttowardl.

- Add missing long double functions.  New APIs:
  acoshl, acosl, asinhl, asinl, atan2l, atanhl, atanl, cacoshl, cacosl, cargl,
  casinhl, casinl, catanhl, catanl, ccoshl, ccosl, ceill, cexpl, clog10l,
  clogl, conjl, copysignl, coshl, cosl, cpowl, cprojl, csinhl, csinl, csqrtl,
  ctanhl, ctanl, dreml, erfcl, erfl, exp10l, exp2l, expl, expm1l, fabsl,
  fdiml, floorl, fmal, fmaxl, fminl, fmodl, frexpl, ilogbl, isinfl, isnanl,
  ldexpl, lgammal, lgammal_r, llroundl, log10l, log1pl, log2l, logbl, logl,
  lroundl, modfl, nearbyintl, nextafterl, pow10l, powl, remainderl, remquol,
  roundl, scalbl, scalblnl, scalbnl, sincosl, sinhl, sinl, tanhl, tanl,
  tgammal, truncl.

- New header: cpio.h.


What changed:
-------------

- Including <sys/acl.h> now *only* includes the POSIX ACL API.  To include
  the old Solaris API, include <cygwin/acl.h>.

- In calls to chmod treat ACLs with extra ACEs *only* for Admins and
  SYSTEM like a trivial ACL.

- Bump POSIX option macros to POSIX.1-2008.

- Profiling data, specifically pc sampling, now covers all threads of a
  program and not just the main thread.  Environment variable GMON_OUT_PREFIX
  enables multiple gmon.out files to preserve profiling data after fork or
  from multiple program runs.

- Feature test macros, which control which symbols are exposed in the standard
  headers, have been completely overhauled for compatibility with glibc.

- The isinf, isinff, and isinfl functions are signed, returning -1 for
  negative infinity for compatibility with glibc.
