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 /dev/disk directory with subdirectories by-id and by-partuuid.
|
|
The by-id directory provides symlinks for each disk and its partitions:
|
|
BUSTYPE-[VENDOR_]PRODUCT_[SERIAL|HASH][-partN] -> ../../sdX[N].
|
|
The by-partuuid directory provides symlinks for each MBR and GPT disk
|
|
partition: MBR_SERIAL-OFFSET -> ../../sdXN, GPT_GUID -> ../../sdXN.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
- Add support for lseek flags SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE, a GNU extension.
|
|
|
|
- New API calls: posix_spawn_file_actions_addchdir_np,
|
|
posix_spawn_file_actions_addfchdir_np.
|
|
|
|
- New API calls: c8rtomb, c16rtomb, c32rtomb, mbrtoc8, mbrtoc16, mbrtoc32.
|
|
|
|
- Implement OSS-based sound mixer device (/dev/mixer).
|
|
|
|
What changed:
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- posix_spawnp no longer falls back to starting the shell for unrecognized
|
|
files as execvp. For the reasoning, see
