This version is supposed to fix problems which are a result of the textmode handling in the Cygwin version of tcsh. Right now, up to version 6.14.00-5, Cygwin's tcsh reads all input in textmode, thus converting \r\n for all input from stdin, not only for commands and script input. This version 6.14.00-6 has been changed so that stdin is always read in the mode with which the stdin file descriptor has been opened originally, usually binmode, except for instance when redirected from a file in a textmode mounted directory. This should solve a couple of problems reported on the Cygwin list, for example the problem with cvs and tcsh reported in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-04/msg00099.html, or stuff like the "protocol version mismatch" type of error, sometimes reported by rsync if the remote shell is tcsh, as in http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-04/msg00780.html This version hopefully also fixes Cygwin's tcsh script misbehaviour. Long scripts with DOS lineendings in a binmode mounted directory might suffer from not being able to run longer for or while loops. The problem here is that long scripts are not kept fully in memory by tcsh. So sometimes it has to seek within the script file. For DOS files written in textmode, tcsh then seeks to the wrong spot in the file. However, I couldn't test this so far, so take this with a grain of salt. To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Then, run setup and answer all of the questions. Look for "tcsh" in the 'Shells' category. Because this is an experimental version, you will have to use the 'Exp' radio button to access this release of tcsh. If you have general questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin mailing list at: "cygwin at cygwin dot com". I would appreciate it if you would use this mailing list rather than emailing me directly. *** CYGWIN-ANNOUNCE UNSUBSCRIBE INFO *** If you want to unsubscribe from the cygwin-announce mailing list, look at the "List-Unsubscribe: " tag in the email header of this message.
