Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I released Cygwin version 2.5.2-1.
This is a plain bugfix release, plus a few assorted improvements
under the hood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1:
This is the first Cygwin release with the Cygwin DLL licensed
under LGPLv3+.
Please note that the GPLed tools in this package (e.g., cygserver,
cygpath, regtool, etc) are still under plain GPLv3+. The same goes
for the LSA authentication package cyglsa.dll and cyglsa64.dll.
Only the DLL itself is no under LGPLv3+.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 2:
Cygwin 2.5.2 is the last release supporting Windows XP and Windows
Server 2003.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What changed:
-------------
- select(2) now supports timeouts less than a Windows tick (10-16 ms).
