-- Localization support has been much improved.
-
- - Cygwin now handles locales using the underlying Windows locale support.
- The locale must exists in Windows to be recognized.
-
- - New tool "getlocale" to fetch valid locale values from Windows.
-
- - Default charset for locales without explicit charset is now choosen
- from a list of Linx-compatible charsets. For instance en_US -> ISO-8859-1,
- ja_JP -> EUC-JP.
-
- - Support for the @euro locale modifier to switch to the ISO-8859-15
- charset.
+<itemizedlist mark="bullet">
- - Default charset in the "C" or "POSIX" locale has been changed back from
- UTF-8 to ASCII, to circumvent problems with applications expecting a
- singlebyte charset in the "C"/"POSIX" locale. Still use UTF-8 internally
- for filename conversion in this case.
+<listitem><para>Localization support has been much improved.</para>

-- New implementation for blocking sockets and select on sockets which
- is supposed to allow POSIX-compatible sharing of sockets between
- threads and processes.
-
-- send/sendto/sendmsg now send data in 64K chunks to circumvent an
- internal buffer problem in WinSock (KB 201213).
-
-- New send/recv option MSG_DONTWAIT.
-
-- IPv6 support. New API getaddrinfo, getnameinfo, freeaddrinfo,
- gai_strerror, in6addr_any, in6addr_loopback. On IPv6-less systems,
- replacement functions are available for IPv4. On systems with IPv6
- enabled, the underlying WinSock functions are used. While I tried
- hard to get the functionality as POSIXy as possible, keep in mind that
- a *fully* conformant implementation of getaddrinfo and other stuff is
- only available starting with Windows Vista/2008.
-
-- Resolver functions (res_init, res_query, res_search, res_querydomain,
- res_mkquery, res_send, dn_comp, dn_expand) are now part of Cygwin.
- Applications don't have to link against minires anymore. Actually,
- this *is* the former libminires.a.
-
-- rcmd is now implemented inside of Cygwin, instead of calling the
- WinSock function. This allows rsh(1) usage on Vista/2008 and later,
- which dropped this function from WinSock.
-
-- Define multicast structures in netinet/in.h. Note that fully
- conformant multicast support is only available beginning with Vista/2008.
-
-- Improve get_ifconf. Redefine struct ifreq and subsequent datastructures
- to be able to keep more information. Support SIOCGIFINDEX, SIOCGIFDSTADDR
- and the Cygwin specific SIOCGIFFRNDLYNAM. Support real interface flags
- on systems supporting them.
-
-- Other new APIs: bindresvport, bindresvport_sa, gethostbyname2, iruserok_sa,
- rcmd_af, rresvport_af. getifaddrs, freeifaddrs, if_nametoindex,
- if_indextoname, if_nameindex, if_freenameindex.

-- A lot of character sets are supported now via a call to setlocale().
- The setting of the environment variables $LANG, $LC_ALL or $LC_CTYPE will
- be used. For instance, setting $LANG to "de_DE.ISO-8859-15" before
- starting a Cygwin session will use the ISO-8859-15 character set in
- the entire session. The default charset is "UTF-8", even in the
- default locale "C". The default locale in the absence of one of the
- aforementioned environment variables is "C.UTF-8".

- territory part (en_US, for instance) is not used by Cygwin yet, but is
- required for POSIX compatibility.

-- Cygwin now comes with a real LSA authentication package. This must
- be manually installed by a privileged user using the /bin/cyglsa-config
- script. The advantages and disadvantages are noted in
- http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2006-11/msg00000.html
-
-- Cygwin now allows storage and use of user passwords in a hidden area of
- the registry. This is tried first when Cygwin is called by privileged
- processes to switch the user context. This allows, for instance,
- ssh public key sessions with full network credentials to access shares
- on other machines.
-
-- New options have been added to the mkpasswd and mkgroup tools to
- ease use in multi-machine and multi-domain environments. The existing
- options have a slightly changed behaviour.

+A lot of character sets are supported now via a call to setlocale().
+The setting of the environment variables $LANG, $LC_ALL or $LC_CTYPE
+will be used. For instance, setting $LANG to "de_DE.ISO-8859-15" before
+starting a Cygwin session will use the ISO-8859-15 character set in the
+entire session. The default charset is "UTF-8", even in the default
+locale "C". The default locale in the absence of one of the
+aforementioned environment variables is "C.UTF-8".
