[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: Cygwin 1.7.21


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".
