[ANNOUNCEMENT] TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 1.7.33-0.1

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, Tom Schutter!

>> The major change in this new release is the new method to read account
>> (passwd and group) information from the Windows user databases directly,
>> without the requirement to generate /etc/passwd and /etc/group files to
>> generate Unix-like uid and gid.

> What do you think the performance implications of this change will be?

For me, it was a great improvement, except some rare (and largely unusual) cases.
And I didn't repeat the tests with latest incarnation of this feature.
You can check the mail archives for details.
