What changed: ------------- - Allow symlinks to be opened with O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW. - Allow the pathname argument to readlinkat(2) to be an empty string, provided the dirfd argument refers to a symlink opened with O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW. The readlinkat call then operates on that symlink. - Support the Linux-specific AT_EMPTY_PATH flag for fchownat(2) and fstatat(2). - Allow AF_LOCAL sockets to be opened with O_PATH. - : New macro _NSIG replacing NSIG. NSIG is now only visible to MISC builds, as on Linux. - The new locale modifier @cjksingle allows enforcing of single-width character property for usually double-widthed characters. This will be supported by upcoming mintty releases. For the reasoning, see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/terminal-wg/specifications/issues/9. Bug Fixes: ---------- - Define CPU_SETSIZE, as on Linux.
