Updated: Cygwin 1.7.32-1

[Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cygwin at cygwin dot com>]

Hi Cygwin friends and users,


I just released Cygwin 1.7.32-1.

This release comes with a few bug fixes in header files and a slightly
improved /proc/cpuinfo output, but otherwise it concentrates on a new
feature which isn't readily user visible.  The new feature requires a
new GCC which will be released by Jon_Y shorty.

This combination, cygwin 1.7.32 / gcc 4.8.3-3, also allows to handle
C++11 thread local objects for the first time.


What's new:
-----------

- Export __cxa_atexit and __cxa_finalize to allow C++ standards-compliant
  destructor handling in libstdc++ and g++ compiled code.

  Please note that, in order to benefit from this new feature, C++ code
  must be recompiled with the upcoming gcc 4.8.3-3 release which will
  enable the -fuse-cxa-atexit flag by default, and that C++ applications
  using this feature will not run on older Cygwin releases.

- Support more recent CPU flags in /proc/cpuinfo.


Bug Fixes
---------

- Decorate attribute names with __, for namespace safety in various header
  files.

- Fix sys/file.h for using in C++ code.

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.


Have fun,
Corinna
