Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released Cygwin 1.7.28. This is mainly a bugfix release.
To install 32-bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe
To install 64 bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe
The 64 bit Cygwin distribution doesn't yet come with as many packages
as the 32 bit version, but more packages will be available over time.
If you're already running a 32 bit version of Cygwin on 64 bit Windows
machines, you can continue to do so. If you're planning a new install
of Cygwin on a 64 bit Windows machine, consider to use the new 64 bit
Cygwin version, unless you need certain packages not yet available in
the 64 bit release.
What's new:
-----------
- popen now supports the Glibc 'e' flag to set the FD_CLOEXEC flag on the pipe
in a thread-safe way.
- netinet/ip6.h header.
What changed:
-------------
- Switch to BSD FILE stream fopen/exit semantics, as in all BSD variants and
Linux/GLibc: Don't fflush/lseek a FILE stream on fclose and exit, if it
only has been read from.
See: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-01/msg00110.html
Bug Fixes

handled.

Windows DLL.

- If it turns out that transactions don't work during unlink(2) or rename(2),
despite the fact that the filesystem claims to handle them, stop transaction
and try again without.

Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-12/threads.html#00262

hang.

Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-12/msg00294.html
- The console buffer should no longer be cleared when the resolution of the
console exceeds some magic threshold.
Fixes: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2013-12/threads.html#00406
- Fix inadvertent clearing of entire console buffer on clear screen.
