+What's new:
+-----------
+
+- Introduce reading passwd/group entries directly from SAM/AD, thus allowing
+ to do without /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. Introduce /etc/nsswitch.conf
+ file to configure passwd/group handling.
+
+- Allow quoting of arguments to the CYGWIN environment variable, i.e.,
+ set CYGWIN=error_start="c:\bin\someprogram -T"
+
+
+What changed:
+-------------
+
+
+Bug Fixes
+---------
+
+- Try harder to do the right thing in the presence of console screen buffers,
+ i.e., never clear the screen buffer unless the user asked for it. Also
+ fix screen escape sequences which attempted to scroll the screen.
+ Addresses: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/threads.html#00274
+
+- Make "ps -W" report different WINPIDs for processes that have been execed
+ from, e.g., cmd.
+ Addresses: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-02/threads.html#00382
+
+- Avoid error messages from the signal handler if we're exiting.
+ Addresses: A random irc #cygwin complaint.
