Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I released a new TEST version of Cygwin. The version number is 2.2.1-0.1.
This test release needs some good old-fashioned testing. 2.2.1 will be
a bugfix release only:
============================================================================
- Revert the following patch from 2.2.0:
When started from a non-Cygwin process, check if $HOME starts with a
slash (absolute POSIX path). Otherwise ignore it.
- Fix output of /proc/cpuinfo in terms of cpu topology and cache size for
modern CPUs and modern Windows OSes supporting more than 64 logical CPUs.
- Don't try to perform RFC2307 owner/group mapping on Samba/NFS if account
info is only fetched from local passwd/group files.
Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-07/msg00270.html
- Precautionally fix a potential data corruption problem in pipe I/O, only
actually observered in Wine yet. However, MSDN language indicates this
might be a problem on real Windows as well.
Addresses: Freenode IRC #cygwin discussion, ML entry follows.
============================================================================
Have fun,
Corinna
