Hi folks,
I uploaded a new Cygwin test release 2.8.0-0.1
I'm planning for a release next week. Please test.
=======================================================================
What's new:
-----------
- New API: timingsafe_bcmp, timingsafe_memcmp
- New API: dladdr
What changed:
-------------
- cygcheck and strace now always generate output with Unix LF line endings,
rather than with DOS/Windows CR LF line endings.
- fork now preserves the load order of unrelated dlopen'd modules.
- pthread_cond_wait now acts like Linux and BSD: Resume waiting for the
condition variable as if it was not interrupted, rather than returning 0.
Bug Fixes
---------
- Fix a few problems which are the combined culprit of fork failing
when called recursively from a pthread.
