What's new: ----------- - Introduce reading passwd/group entries directly from SAM/AD, thus allowing to do without /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf file to configure passwd/group handling. What changed: ------------- - Windows defines the IPV6_TCLASS option, but when using it in setsockopt it returns WSAENOPROTOOPT. Cygwin now ignores this error condition and returns a fake success to the application, just as with IP_TOS for years. Bug Fixes --------- - Workaround a problem following native symlinks.
