Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released Cygwin 1.7.21. This is mostly a bugfix release.
What's new:
-----------
- New API: rawmemchr.
- Make cygcheck report when scanned DLLs are symlinks or are not meant
for the current architecture (x86 vs. x86_64).
See: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-07/msg00143.html
Bug fixes:
----------
- Fix long-standing problem which allows to access files via ".." using an
invalid POSIX path, for instance, `cd nonexistant/../existing_dir".

- Fix character comparisons in certain scenarios within the functions glob(3),
fnmatch(3), and regcomp(3). All Unicode chars beyond U+0100 are affected.
