File mode judgement


In the past, Cygwin seemed to judge whether a file is executable on a
combination of suffix and content. However, today when I reinstalled Cygwin,
I suddenly found that it no more did it. Now on a NTFS volume it depends
only on file attributes.

1) Is it a design change?

2) Is it possible to switch back to the old behaviour?

Thank you in advance. Reply to this mail address, please.

Best regards

Wu Yongwei
