Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released Cygwin 1.7.16. This is mainly a bugfix release.
Cygwin also comes with a new cygwin-debuginfo package for Cygwin DLL and
Cygwin utility debugging purposes. The cygwin-debug package introduced
with 1.7.15 is consequentially deprecated, in favor of the new debuginfo
package.
What's new:
===========
- New API: getmntent_r, memrchr.
- Support ReFS.
Bug fixes:
==========
- Fix pipe creation problem which manifested as a problem creating a
fifo. Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00253.html
- Fix hang when calling pthread_testcancel in a canceled thread.
Fixes some of: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-05/msg00186.html

- Fix emacs problem which exposed an issue with Cygwin's select() function.
If a signal arrives while select is blocking and the program longjmps
out of the signal handler then threads and memory may be left hanging.
