What's new: ----------- - Drop support for Windows 7, Windows 8, Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012. - The console device gets accessible from other terminals such as other consoles and ptys. Thanks to this new feature, GNU screen and tmux now work in the console. - newgrp(1) tool. - cygcheck has new options searching for available packages in the cygwin distro, as well as getting extended info on available and installed packages. - fnmatch(3) and glob(3) now support named character classes, equivalence class expressions, and collating symbols in the search pattern, i.e., [:alnum:], [=a=], [.aa.]. - Introduce /proc/codesets and /proc/locales with information on supported codesets and locales for all interested parties. Locale(1) opens these files and uses the info for printing locale info like any other process could do. - Add support for GB18030 codeset. - New API calls: posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np, posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir_np. What changed: ------------- - posix_spawnp no longer falls back to starting the shell for unrecognized files as execvp. For the reasoning, see https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1674
