TEST RELEASE: Cygwin 2.2.1-0.1

[Corinna Vinschen]

Hi Cygwin friends and users,


I released a new TEST version of Cygwin.  The version number is 2.2.1-0.1.

This test release needs some good old-fashioned testing.  2.2.1 will be
a bugfix release only:

============================================================================

- Revert the following patch from 2.2.0:
  When started from a non-Cygwin process, check if $HOME starts with a
  slash (absolute POSIX path).  Otherwise ignore it.

- Fix output of /proc/cpuinfo in terms of cpu topology and cache size for
  modern CPUs and modern Windows OSes supporting more than 64 logical CPUs.

- Don't try to perform RFC2307 owner/group mapping on Samba/NFS if account
  info is only fetched from local passwd/group files.
  Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-07/msg00270.html

- Precautionally fix a potential data corruption problem in pipe I/O, only
  actually observered in Wine yet.  However, MSDN language indicates this
  might be a problem on real Windows as well.
  Addresses: Freenode IRC #cygwin discussion, ML entry follows.

============================================================================


Have fun,
Corinna
