Updated: cpuid 20230120
The following package has been upgraded in the Cygwin distribution: * cpuid 20230120 Displays detailed information about the CPU(s) gathered from the CPUID instruction, and also determines the exact model of CPU(s). Whereas /proc/cpuinfo is like an abstract of the features important to Linux in a system, cpuid is a standalone utility which writes a paper expounding on every feature in each CPU's architecture and what it can do, at about the one line per bit level. It is updated and released frequently to stay current with Intel and AMD information and supports other vendors' chips. See the project home page for more information: http://etallen.com/cpuid.html For information about changes since the previous Cygwin release, see below or /usr/share/doc/cpuid/ChangeLog after installation. Fri Jan 20 2023 20230120 - Eliminate reliance on "old" build system. Instead, for the cpuid.i386 and cpuid.x86_64, meant to be executable anywhere, including on old hardware & distros, use static builds. They're much bigger, but utterly immune to library changes. - Intel's 13th Generation Core datasheet provides stepping names as well as numbers! So: - Added synth decoding for (0,6),(11,7) Raptor Lake B0 stepping. - Added synth decoding for (0,6),(11,15) Raptor Lake C0 steppings, and clarified case for unknown stepping. - cpuid.man: Added 743844: 13th Generation Core datasheet. - Fixed (0,6)(12,15) synth typo: Emerald Rapids. - Added 6/eax IA32_HW_FEEDBACK_THREAD_CONFIG bit 25. - Added 7/0/edx SGX-KEYS: SGX attestation services. - Clarified 7/0/edx IA32_MCU_OPT_CTRL SRBDS mitigation MSR. - Clarified 7/0/edx IA32_TSX_FORCE_ABORT MSR. - Added 7/1/edx CET_SSS: shadow stacks w/o page faults. - Added several 7/2/edx bits. - In 0xd/0/eax, corrected CET_U & CET_S, which were IA32_XSS. - In 0xd/0/eax, removed the IA32_XSS bits, which aren't relevant for XCR0. - For 0xd/1/ecx, enumerate the IA32_XSS bits instead of a hex bitmask. - For 0xd, added IA32_XSS PASID state (couple places). - Renamed 0x1a: Native Model ID. - Added synth & uarch decoding for (0,6),(11,15) Raptor Lake from MSR_CPUID_table. - Added synth decoding for (0,6),(9,7),5 Pentium Gold G7400, based on instlatx64 sample. - Added rudimentary synth decoding for future (0,6),(12,15) Emerald Rapids CPUs. - Added 7/1/eax LASS: linear address space separation. - Corrected 0x18/n/edx maximum number of addressible IDs, which should use minus-one notation. - Certain leaves cannot be displayed correctly in isolation, i.e. without information about other leaves saved in the stash. For example, the display for leaf 3 uses bits saved from leaf 1. If the -l/--leaf option is used to restrict cpuid to reading only a single leaf, such leaves now are displayed as raw hex, rather than with incorrect information. This is handled by passing a NULL stash to print_reg() and below, and by many new checks for a NULL stash. - Updated cache associativity strings used in 0x8006 and 0x8019 leaves to use value ranges, as in AMD docs. - Fixed mistake in AMD L3 range reservation support: it's in 0x8020/0 register EBX, not ECX. - Added 0x8026/0/edx extended APIC ID. - Added synth & uarch decoding for (10,15),(1,1) Genoa, from AMD 57095 revision guide. - cpuid.man: Added AMD 57095 revision guides, and some older guides.
Test: ncurses/-demo libncurses/-devel/++/w10 terminfo/-extra 6.4-3.20230114 (TEST)
The following test packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:
* ncurses 6.4-3.20230114
* ncurses-demo 6.4-3.20230114
* libncurses-devel 6.4-3.20230114
* libncurses++w10 6.4-3.20230114
* libncursesw10 6.4-3.20230114
* terminfo 6.4-3.20230114
* terminfo-extra6.4-3.20230114
This test release replaces the previous test release 6.4-2.20230107.
Please test these packages as extensively as possible (especially if you
are a Cygwin package maintainer) as libncursesw10 is used in many
libraries including libreadline and utilities including less, vim,
emacs, most other editors, screen, tmux, mail and web clients, and bash.
Package maintainers should install this test release and rerun checks of
as many libraries and packages depending on libncurses{,++}w10 as
possible.
If no issues are reported in the next few weeks, and no newer release
becomes available, this release will be promoted to current stable.
The ncurses (new curses) library is an emulation of Sys V R 4
curses, and more. It uses terminfo format, supports pads, color,
multiple highlights, forms characters, function key mapping,
and has all the other SVR4 curses enhancements over BSD curses.

Release Notes
These notes are for ncurses 6.4, released January 14, 2023.
This release is designed to be source-compatible with ncurses 5.0
through 6.3; providing extensions to the application binary interface
(ABI). Although the source can still be configured to support the
ncurses 5 ABI, the reason for the release is to reflect improvements
to the ncurses 6 ABI and the supporting utility programs.
There are, of course, numerous other improvements, listed in this
announcement.
The most important bug-fixes/improvements dealt with robustness
issues. The release notes also mention some other bug-fixes, but are
focused on new features and improvements to existing features since
ncurses 6.3 release.
Library improvements
New features
There are no new features in this release.
Other improvements
These are improvements to existing features:
* modify delscreen to more effectively delete all windows on the
given screen.
* modify wnoutrefresh to call pnoutrefresh if its parameter is a
pad, rather than treating it as an error, and modify new_panel to
permit its window-parameter to be a pad
* modify curses_trace() to show the trace-mask as symbols, e.g.,
TRACE_ORDINARY, DEBUG_LEVEL(3).
* improve checks for valid mouse events when an intermediate mouse
state is not part of the mousemask specified by the caller
* allow extended-color number in opts parameter of wattr_on.
* improve _tracecchar_t2 formatting of base+combining character.
* trim out some unwanted linker options from ncurses*config and .pc
files seen in Fedora 36+.
* improve shell-scripts with shellcheck
* improve use of "trap" in shell scripts, using a script.
* modify make-tar.sh scripts to make timestamps more predictable.
These are corrections to existing features:
* modify misc/gen-pkgconfig.in to allow for the case where the
library directory does not yet exist, since this is processed
before doing an install
* set trailing null on string passed from winsnstr to wins_nwstr.
* modify waddch_literal to allow for double-width base character
when merging a combining character
Program improvements
Several improvements were made to the utility programs:
infocmp
* rewrite canonical_name function of infocmp to ensure buffer
size
* improve readability of long parameterized expressions with
the infocmp "-f" option by allowing split before a "%p"
marker.
* modify verbose-option of infocmp, tic, toe to enable
debug-tracing if that is configured.
tabs
limit tab-stop values to max-columns
tic
add consistency check in tic for u6/u7/u8/u9 and NQ
capabilities.
tput
corrected use of original tty-modes in init/reset subcommands
Examples
Along with the library and utilities, improvements were made to the
ncurses-examples. Most of this activity aimed at improving the
test-packages:
* add minimal -h (usage) and -V (version) getopt logic to all
ncurses-examples programs.
* fix an error in "@" command in test/ncurses.c F-menu
* add curses_trace to ifdef's for START_TRACE in test/test.priv.h
* improve pthread-configuration for test/worm.c
* add setlocale call to several test-programs.
* workaround in test/picsmap.c for use of floating point for rgb
values by ImageMagick 6.9.11, which
