RE: Cygwin 1.7.31 imminent: Please test latest developer snapshot


Hi folks,


we're planning to release Cygwin 1.7.31 in the next few days.  Last
chance to give the developer snapshot a try.  Please test the latest
snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/, dated 2014-07-16.

This is mostly a bugfix release.  Here's the list of changes:


What changed:
-------------

- Improve performance of send(2), sendto(2), sendmsg(2) when using small
  input buffers.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-07/msg00069.html

- The default pthread_mutex type is now PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL, rather than
  PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK, just as on Linux.

- Align pthread_attr stack functions more closely to Linux.

- Mark pthread_attr_getstackaddr and pthread_attr_setstackaddr as deprecated,
  as on Linux.

Perhaps I've missed it in searching through the recent archive, but what's the status and release plan for the new passwd/group AD/SAM integration changes that were previously discussed? That topic seems to be calm lately with snapshot testing. I'm waiting with baited breath to get that change in a release to ease some integration wrinkles we're having.

Joel
