Hi Cygwin friends and users,


I just released Cygwin 1.7.27.  This is mainly a bugfix release.

To install 32-bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe
To install 64 bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe

The 64 bit Cygwin distribution doesn't yet come with as many packages
as the 32 bit version, but more packages will be available over time.

If you're already running a 32 bit version of Cygwin on 64 bit Windows
machines, you can continue to do so.  If you're planning a new install
of Cygwin on a 64 bit Windows machine, consider to use the new 64 bit
Cygwin version, unless you need certain packages not yet available in
the 64 bit release.


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

- Don't create native symlinks with target paths having long path prefixes
  "\\?\" if the target path is shorter than MAX_PATH characters.  This works
  around a Windows 8.1 bug:  The ShellExecuteW fails if the lpFile parameter
  points to a native NTFS symlink with a target path prefixed with "\\?\".
  Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-12/msg00101.html


Bug Fixes
---------

- Some devices, like, /dev/dsp are no longer detected due to the new
  use of \Device\Null for devices which have no real handle.
  Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-12/threads.html#00000

- Cygwin could easily run out of file handles.

Have fun,
Corinna
