- Support for CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE, CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE,
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, CLOCK_BOOTTIME clocks.
+- Support for case sensitive directories. mkdir(2) automatically
+ creates directories within the Cygwin installation dir as case
+ sensitive now.
+
+ This feature requires Windows 10 1803 or later and WSL installed!
+
+- New file ioctls's FS_IOC_GETFLAGS and FS_IOC_SETFLAGS. The actual
+ inode flags are Cygwin-specific. This allows to set or reset
+ DOS attributes, file sparseness, FS level encryption and compression,
+ as well as directory case sensitivity programatically.
+
+- New tools chattr(1) and lsattr(1) to utilize setting and viewing the
+ aforementioned new ioctl's on the command line.
+
+- Support for exFAT.
