Build 17093

For general Windows information on build 17093 visit the Windows Blog.

Important:

When starting WSL for the first time after upgrading to this build, it needs to perform some work upgrading the Linux file system directories. This may take up to several minutes, so WSL may appear to start slowly. This should only happen once for each distribution you have installed from the store.

Improved case sensitivity support in DrvFs.
- DrvFs now supports per-directory case sensitivity. This is a new flag that can be set on directories to indicate all operations in those directories should be treated as case sensitive, which allows even Windows applications to correctly open files that differ only by case.
- DrvFs has new mount options controlling case sensitivity on a per-directory basis
  - case=force: all directories are treated as case sensitive (except for the drive root). New directories created with WSL are marked as case sensitive. This is the legacy behavior except for marking new directories case sensitive.
  - case=dir: only directories with the per-directory case sensitivity flag are treated as case sensitive; other directories are case insensitive. New directories created with WSL are marked as case sensitive.
  - case=off: only directories with the per-directory case sensitivity flag are treated as case sensitive; other directories are case insensitive. New directories created with WSL are marked as case insensitive.
- Note: directories created by WSL in previous releases do not have this flag set, so will not be treated as case sensitive if you use the "case=dir" option. A way to set this flag on existing directories is coming soon.
- Example of mounting with these options (for existing drives, you must first unmount before you can mount with different options): sudo mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c -o case=dir
- For now, case=force is still the default option. This will be changed to case=dir in the future.
You can now use forward slashes in Windows paths when mounting DrvFs, e.g.: sudo mount -t drvfs //server/share /mnt/share
WSL now processes the /etc/fstab file during instance start [GH 2636].
- This is done prior to automatically mounting DrvFs drives; any drives that were already mounted by fstab will not be remounted automatically, allowing you to change the mount point for specific drives.
- This behavior can be turned off using wsl.conf.
The mount, mountinfo and mountstats files in /proc properly escape special characters like backslashes and spaces [GH 2799]
Special files created with DrvFs such as WSL symbolic links, or fifos and sockets when metadata is enabled, can now be copied and moved from Windows.

WSL is more configurable with wsl.conf

We added a method for you to automatically configure certain functionality in WSL that will be applied every time you launch the subsystem. This includes automount options and network configuration. Learn more about it in our blog post at: https://aka.ms/wslconf

AF_UNIX allows socket connections between Linux processes on WSL and Windows native processes

WSL and Windows applications can now communicate with each other over Unix sockets. Imagine you want to run a service in Windows and make it available to both Windows and WSL apps. Now, that's possible with Unix sockets. Read more in our blog post at https://aka.ms/afunixinterop

Build 17063

For general Windows information on build 17063 visit the Windows Blog.

WSL

DrvFs supports additional Linux metadata. This allows setting the owner and mode of files using chmod/chown, and also the creation of special files such as fifos, unix sockets and device files. This is disabled by default for now since it's still experimental. Note: We fixed a bug in the metadata format used by DrvFs. While metadata works on this build for experimentation, future builds will not correctly read metadata created by this build. You might need to manually update owner for modified files and devices with a custom device ID will have to be recreated.

To enable, mount DrvFs with the metadata option (to enable it on an existing mount, you must first unmount it):
```
mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c -o metadata
```
Linux permissions are added as additional metadata to the file; they do not affect the Windows permissions. Remember, editing a file using a Windows editor may remove the metadata. In this case, the file will revert to its default permissions.
Added mount options to DrvFs to control files without metadata.
- uid: the user ID used for the owner of all files.
- gid: the group ID used for the owner of all files.
- umask: an octal mask of permissions to exclude for all files and directories.
- fmask: an octal mask of permissions to exclude for all regular files.
- dmask: an octal mask of permissions to exclude for all directories.
For example:
```
mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c -o uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=22,fmask=111
```
Combine with the metadata option to specify default permissions for files without metadata.
Introduced a new environment variable, WSLENV, to configure how environment variables flow between WSL and Win32.

For example:
```
WSLENV=GOPATH/l:USERPROFILE/pu:DISPLAY
```
WSLENV is a colon-delimited list of environment variables that can be included when launching WSL processes from Win32 or Win32 processes from WSL. Each variable can be suffixed with a slash followed by flags to specify how it is translated.
- p: The value is a path that should be translated between WSL paths and Win32 paths.
- l: The value is a list of paths. In WSL, it is a colon-delimited list. In Win32, it is a semicolon-delimited list.
- u: The value should only be included when invoking WSL from Win32
- w: The value should only be included when invoking Win32 from WSL
You can set WSLENV in .bashrc or in the custom Windows environment for your user.

- Workaround: Map an alternate key to Ctrl+C. For example, to map Ctrl+K to Ctrl+C do: stty intr \^k. This mapping is per terminal and will have to be done every time bash is launched. Users can explore the option to include this in their .bashrc
While WSL is running a system thread will consume 100% of a CPU core. The root cause has been addressed and fixed internally.

Fixed

All bash sessions must now be created at the same permission level. Attempting to start a session at a different level will be blocked. This means admin and non-admin consoles cannot run at the same time. (GH #626)
Implemented the following NETLINK_ROUTE messages (requires Windows admin)
- RTM_NEWADDR (supports ip addr add)
- RTM_NEWROUTE (supports ip route add)
- RTM_DELADDR (supports ip addr del)
- RTM_DELROUTE (supports ip route del)

Fixed issue in WSL where Netlink request for network interface data would fail with EINVAL if the interface's hardware address is 32-bytes (such as the Teredo interface)
- Note that the Linux "ip" utility contains a bug where it will crash if WSL reports a 32-byte hardware address. This is a bug in "ip", not WSL. The "ip" utility hard-codes the length of the string buffer used to print the hardware address, and that buffer is too small to print a 32-byte hardware address.

New Feature: Windows / Ubuntu Interoperability

Windows binaries can now be invoked directly from the WSL command line. This gives users the ability to interact with their Windows environment and system in a way that has not been possible. As a quick example, it is now possible for users to run the following commands:

$ export PATH=$PATH:/mnt/c/Windows/System32
$ notepad.exe
$ ipconfig.exe | grep IPv4 | cut -d: -f2
$ ls -la | findstr.exe foo.txt
$ cmd.exe /c dir

Build 14936

For general Windows information on build 14936 visit the Windows Blog.

Note: WSL will install Ubuntu version 16.04 (Xenial) instead of Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) in an upcoming release. This change will apply to Insiders installing new instances (lxrun.exe /install or first run of bash.exe). Existing instances with Trusty will not be upgraded automatically. Users can upgrade their Trusty image to Xenial using the do-release-upgrade command.

Known Issue

WSL is experiencing an issue with some socket implementations. The bugcheck manifests itself as a crash with the error "ATTEMPTED EXECUTE OF NOEXECUTE MEMORY". The most common manifestation of this issue is a crash when using ssh. The root cause is fixed on internal builds and will be pushed to Insiders at the earliest opportunity.
