Yes. I'll prepare a posting to the cygwin ML asking for testing the
new stuff and the part which I screwed up so diligently.
I tried to come up with a list of changes for 1.5.10. I'd like especially
Gerd to add words about what he did to the sound capabilitites since I'm
not quite sure if I can get that right.
Did I miss something?
- Improve cygheap debugging, fix heap size problems in child processes
(Christopher Faylor)
- Add sound recording capabilities. General improvements to audio
code (Gerd Spalink)
- Simplify and speed up path handling (Christopher Faylor, Pierre Humblet)
- Fix SIGCHLD handling (Christopher Faylor)
- Fix semget and shmat (Corinna Vinschen)
- Improve thread safety of newlib's file I/O functions (Thomas Pfaff)
- Rewrite tape code to operate like Linux SCSI tape driver (Corinna Vinschen)
- Add SIGPIPE handling to sendmsg (Corinna Vinschen)
- Allow successful socket send/recv even after signal has arrived
(Patrick Samson)
- Add libtextreadmode.a to allow setting only file input to O_TEXT by default
(Corinna Vinschen)
- Speed up stat-like file operations. Minimize file open/close calls
in NT (Corinna Vinschen)
- Fix lseek return code in case of error (Corinna Vinschen)
