There is a known problem with the $TZ environment variable. Here's a discussion from 2017: https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2017-May/232675.html The problem is that both Cygwin and Windows use the $TZ environment variable, but they interpret it differently. The Windows handling of $TZ (or %TZ

sscanf doesn't handle hexadecimal floating-point input

2021-04-18 Thread Keith Thompson via Cygwin
The *scanf() functions don't handle hexadecimal floating-point input (for example "0x1p+0" representing 1.0). A test program: #include int main(void) { int ok = 1; float x = -1.0; int result = sscanf("0x1p+0", "%f", &x); const float expected_x = 1.0; const int expected_result

I've seen some inconsistent behavior while trying to install older versions of gitg. On one of my two Windows 10 laptops, I tried installing version 3.22.0 (which worked) and then 3.24.0 (which also worked) before updating back to the current 3.26.0 (which also worked). I had seen gitg 3.26.0 fai

Update zathura?

2020-08-28 Thread Keith Thompson via Cygwin
Cygwin currently provides zathura version 0.3.3, which was released in 2014. The latest version is 0.4.5, released in 2020, which fixes at least one rather annoying bug. If the maintainer could update it to the latest version, I would appreciate it. (Yes, I know I'm asking for free labor.) -- Pro
