Hi Cygwin friends and users,
I just released Cygwin 1.7.32-1. This release comes with a few bug fixes in header files and a slightly improved /proc/cpuinfo output, but otherwise it concentrates on a new feature which isn't readily user visible. The new feature requires a new GCC which will be released by Jon_Y shorty. This combination, cygwin 1.7.32 / gcc 4.8.3-3, also allows to handle C++11 thread local objects for the first time. What's new: ----------- - Export __cxa_atexit and __cxa_finalize to allow C++ standards-compliant destructor handling in libstdc++ and g++ compiled code. Please note that, in order to benefit from this new feature, C++ code must be recompiled with the upcoming gcc 4.8.3-3 release which will enable the -fuse-cxa-atexit flag by default, and that C++ applications using this feature will not run on older Cygwin releases. - Support more recent CPU flags in /proc/cpuinfo. Bug Fixes --------- - Decorate attribute names with __, for namespace safety in various header files.

Addresses: https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-08/msg00122.html To install 32-bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86.exe To install 64 bit Cygwin use http://cygwin.com/setup-x86_64.exe The 64 bit Cygwin distribution doesn't yet come with as many packages as the 32 bit version, but more packages will be available over time. If you're already running a 32 bit version of Cygwin on 64 bit Windows machines, you can continue to do so. If you're planning a new install of Cygwin on a 64 bit Windows machine, consider to use the new 64 bit Cygwin version, unless you need certain packages not yet available in the 64 bit release. Have fun, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
