Changes for version 1.47 - 2010-01-09

  • cygwin: convert vob:/path input arguments
  • cygwin: return an error code for system
  • ipc: quote an empty string in the command sent to cleartool
  • cygwin: parsing output lines ending in backslash (e.g. from diff)
  • cygwin: convert non-existing path outside vobs (e.g. arg of: co -out)
  • ipc: return value for diff
  • stopped shifting exit codes: $? == 256 results in 0...
  • cygwin/exec: ipc mode not forced anymore
  • ALL CHANGES FROM 1.41 THROUGH HERE CONTRIBUTED BY Marc Girod.
  • BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY NOTES:
  • A case was reported in which changes in 1.44 broke backward compatibility, in the domain of quoting arguments. This is unfortunate, and was fixed in the critical cases (eg mkattr). However, the changes were not gratuitous, and actually fixed discrepancies between the behavior in the different modes and added e.g. support for the use of quotes inside comments. So they were not withdrawn, with the effect that total backwards compatibility was not restored.
