4 - Cygwin can now generate passwd/group entries directly from Windows
5 user databases (local SAM or Active Directory), thus allowing to run
6 Cygwin without having to create /etc/passwd and /etc/group files.
7 Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf file to configure passwd/group handling.
9 For bordercase which require to use /etc/passwd and /etc/group files,
10 change mkpasswd/mkgroup to generate passwd/group entries compatible
11 with the entries read from SAM/AD.
13 - Add -b/--remove-all option to setfacl to reduce the ACL to only the
14 entries representing POSIX permission bits.
16 - Add -k/--remove-default option to setfacl to remove all default ACL
19 - Add restore action to regtool.
21 - Provide Cygwin documentation (PDFs and HTML) for offline usage in
22 /usr/share/doc/cygwin-${version}.
24 - Make gethostbyname2 handle numeric host addresses as well as the reserved
25 domain names "localhost" and "invalid" per RFC 6761.
27 - New APIs: qsort_r, __bsd_qsort_r.
31 - New APIs: __fbufsize, __flbf, __fpending, __freadable, __freading,
32 __fsetlocking, __fwritable, __fwriting.
34 - New APIs: clearerr_unlocked, feof_unlocked, ferror_unlocked, fflush_unlocked,
35 fgetc_unlocked, fgets_unlocked, fgetwc_unlocked, fgetws_unlocked,
36 fileno_unlocked, fputc_unlocked, fputs_unlocked, fputwc_unlocked,
37 fputws_unlocked, fread_unlocked, fwrite_unlocked, getwc_unlocked,
38 getwchar_unlocked, putwc_unlocked, putwchar_unlocked.
40 - New API: sockatmark.
46 - Revamp Solaris ACL implementation to more closely work like POSIX ACLs
47 are supposed to work. Finally implement a CLASS_OBJ emulation. Update
48 getfacl(1)/setfacl(1) accordingly.
50 - The xdr functions are no longer exported for newly built executables.
51 Use libtirpc-devel instead.
53 - 32 bit only: Change default values for socket buffer size to raise
54 performance on 10Gb networks.
56 - When spawning a process under another user account, merge the user's
57 default Windows environment into the new process' environment.
63 - Fix the problem that ptys master side always writes single byte packages
64 to the slave side, and pty slaves always read VMIN byte packages from
65 the master side if VMIN is > 0.

75 - Load correct timezone offsets when fetching timezone info from
76 zoneinfo files. Use tm_gmtoff and tm_zone members in strftime to
77 generate more correct timezone info for non-recent eras.
