Subject:	[ANNOUNCEMENT] TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 2.6.0-0.11
Message-Id:	<announce.20160820213705.s5bhpxbmpawjxy7c@calimero.vinschen.de>
MIME-Version:	1.0
User-Agent:	Mutt/1.6.2-neo (2016-07-23)

Hi folks,


I uploaded a new Cygwin test release 2.6.0-0.11.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I managed to build the 2.6.0-10 package from the wrong sources, so
here's the fixed 2.6.0-0.11.  Sorry about that!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

(Still) two interesting changes in this test release:

- Fix the bug reported in
  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00357.html

- Add missing nl_langinfo_l functions as reported in
  https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00349.html

=======================================================================

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:

- POSIX:

    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, strncasecmp_l, strxfrm_l

    wcscasecmp_l, wcscoll_l, wcstrncasecmp_l, wcstrxfrm_l

    strfmon_l, strftime_l

- GNU extensions:

    isascii_l, toascii_l

    strtol_l, stroll_l, strtoul_l, strtoull_l
    strtod_l, strtofl, strtold_l

    wcstol_l, wcsoll_l, wcstoul_l, wcstoull_l
    wcstod_l, wcstofl, wcstold_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.

Other than that:

=======================================================================

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/2016-06/msg00136.html

- Add a workaround for filesystems not supporting the FileAllInformation
  info class.
  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.
  Addresses: Report and reproducer on IRC.

- Make sure ldd(1) does not exit prematurely when enumerating DLLs.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-05/msg00185.html

- Fix strace timer output in child process.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00067.html

- Change blkcnt_t to signed type per POSIX.

- Fix definition of SSIZE_MAX on 32-bit systems.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00179.html

- Fix transposing invalid chars in Windows filenames on relative paths.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00193.html

- Don't raise SIGTTIN from select(2)/poll(2).
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2016-07/msg00004.html

  Addresses: https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=128665

  This only affects 64 bit Cygwin.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00001.html

- Handle "clear screen" escpae sequence in console window more reliable.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-07/msg00310.html

- Allow kill(pid, <anysig>) on zombies to return successfully, rather than
  only kill(pid, 0), to align behaviour with POSIX requirements.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-08/msg00188.html
