Hi Cygwin friends and users,


New 2.0.0-0.8 test release.  This release got ripped out all the new
POSIX ACL handling code due to a design flaw which needs much more work.

========================================================================
                                 Note

Those of you testing the previous versions should make sure to duplicate
files they created with those test versions and remove the old files.
I can't guarantee that the ACLs created by these test versions won't
collide with ACLs created by future versions of Cygwin.  Sorry!
========================================================================

Therefore, the upcoming Cygwin 2.0.0 release will be basically a bug fix
release only.  I'm planning to release it next week.


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

- basename(3) now comes in two flavors, POSIX and GNU.  The POSIX version is
  the default.  You get the GNU version after

    #define _GNU_SOURCE
    #include <string.h>


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

- The maximum number of PTYs has been raised from 64 to 128.

  is flooding the pty with output.

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

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.


Have fun,
Corinna
