 - 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.
