What's new:
-----------

- New, unified implementation of POSIX permission and ACL handling.  The
  new ACLs now store the POSIX ACL MASK/CLASS_OBJ permission mask, and
  they allow to inherit the S_ISGID bit.  ACL inheritance now really
  works as desired, in a limited, but theoretically equivalent fashion
  even for non-Cygwin processes.

  To accommodate standard Windows ACLs, the POSIX permissions of the
  owner and all other users in the ACL are computed using the Windows
  AuthZ API.  This may slow down the computation of POSIX permissions
  noticably in some circumstances, but is generally more correct.  The
  new code also ignores SYSTEM and Administrators group permissions when
  computing the MASK/CLASS_OBJ permission mask on old ACLs, and it
  doesn't deny access to SYSTEM and Administrators group based on the
  value of MASK/CLASS_OBJ when creating the new ACLs.

  The new code now handles the S_ISGID bit on directories as on Linux:
  Setting S_ISGID on a directory causes new files and subdirs created
  within to inherit its group, rather than the primary group of the user
  who created the file.  This only works for files and directories
  created by Cygwin processes.

- New API: rpmatch.


What changed:
-------------

- setfacl(1) now allows to use the -b and -k option combined to allow reducing
  an ACL to only reflect standard POSIX permissions.

- Fix (numeric and monetary) decimal point and thousands separator in
  fa_IR and ps_AF locales to be aligned with Linux.
