  * Fix `getGroupEntryForID/getGroupEntryForName' on Solaris. Solaris uses
    CPP macros for required getgrgid_r and getgrnam_r functions definition
    so the fix is to change from C ABI calling convention to C API calling
    convention

## 2.7.0.1  *Mar 2014*

  * Bundled with GHC 7.8.1

  * Handle `EROFS` and `ETXTBSY` as (non-exceptional) permission denied in
    `fileAccess`

  * Fix `getFileStatus` to retry `stat(2)` when it returns `EAGAIN`
    (this can happen on Solaris)

## 2.7.0.0  *Nov 2013*

  * New `forkProcessWithUnmask` function in the style of `forkIOWithUnmask`

  * Change `forkProcess` to inherit the exception masking state of its caller

  * Add new `Bool` flag to `ProcessStatus(Terminated)` constructor
    indicating whether a core dump occured

  * New functions in `System.Posix.Files{,.ByteString}` for operating
    on high resolution file timestamps:

        setFdTimesHiRes :: Fd -> POSIXTime -> POSIXTime -> IO ()
        setFileTimesHiRes :: FilePath -> POSIXTime -> POSIXTime -> IO ()
        setSymbolicLinkTimesHiRes :: FilePath -> POSIXTime -> POSIXTime -> IO ()
        touchFd :: Fd -> IO ()
        touchSymbolicLink :: FilePath -> IO ()

  * Export `SignalInfo(..)` and `SignalSpecificInfo(..)` as well as
    the two `Handler` constructors `CatchInfo` and `CatchInfoOnce`
    from `System.Posix.Signals`

  * Don't export `seekDirStream` and `tellDirStream` if the underlying
    `seekdir(3)`/`telldir(3)` system calls are not available (as on Android)

  * Fix library detection of `shm*` on openSUSE (#8350)

  * Minor documentation fixes/updates

  * Update package to `cabal-version >= 1.10` format

## 2.6.0.1  *Jan 2013*

  * Bundled with GHC 7.6.2
  * Fix memory corruption issue in `putEnv`
  * Use `pthread_kill(3)` instead of `raise(2)` on OS X too

## 2.6.0.0  *Sep 2012*

  * Bundled with GHC 7.6.1
  * New functions `mkdtemp` and `mkstemps` in `System.Posix.Temp`
  * New functions `setEnvironment` and `cleanEnv`
  * New functions `accessTimeHiRes`, `modificationTimeHiRes`, and
    `statusChangeTimeHiRes` for accessing high resolution timestamps
