Known Issue

Two known issues:

• There is a known bug where the console does not recognize some Ctrl + input. This includes the ctrl-c command which will act as a normal ‘c’ keypress.
  • 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)
• Scheduled task checking for packages to update will no longer run on a metered connection (GH #1371)
• Fixed error where piping gets stuck i.e. bash -c "ls -alR /" | bash -c "cat" (GH #1214)
• Implemented TCP_KEEPCNT socket option (GH #843)
• Implemented IP_MTU_DISCOVER INET socket option (GH #720, 717, 170, 69)
• Removed legacy functionality to run NT binaries from init with NT path lookup. (GH #1325)
• Fix mode of /dev/kmsg to allow group / other read access (0644) (GH #1321)
• Implemented /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid (GH #1092)
• Corrected error where process start time was showing as year 2432 (GH #974)
• Switched default TERM environment variable to xterm-256color (GH #1446)
• Modified the way that process commit is calculated during process fork. (GH #1286)
• Implemented /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory. (GH #1286)
• Implemented /proc/net/route file (GH #69)
• Fixed error where shortcut name was incorrectly localized (GH #696)
• Fixed elf parsing logic that is incorrectly validating the program headers must be less than (or equal to) PATH_MAX. (GH #1048)
• Implemented statfs callback for procfs, sysfs, cgroupfs, and binfmtfs (GH #1378)
• Fixed AptPackageIndexUpdate windows that won’t close (GH #1184, also discussed in GH #1193)
• Added ASLR personality ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE support. (GH #1148, 1128)
• Improved PTRACE_GETSIGINFO, SIGSEGV, for proper gdb stack traces during AV (GH #875)
• Elf parsing no longer fails for patchelf binaries. (GH #471)
• VPN DNS propagated to /etc/resolv.conf (GH #416, 1350)
• Improvements to TCP close for more reliable data transfer. (GH #610, 616, 1025, 1335)
• Now return correct error code when too many files are opened (EMFILE). (GH #1126, 2090)
• Windows Audit log now reports the image name in process create audit.
• Now gracefully fail when launching bash.exe from within a bash window
• Added error message when interop is unable to access a working directory under LxFs (i.e. notepad.exe .bashrc)
• Fixed issue where Windows path was truncated in WSL
• Additional fixes and improvements
