+ <li> <b>9 August 2002, uClibc 0.9.13 Released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
+ uClibc 0.9.13. After several days of testing, this release is looking very
+ solid. This release fixes three security vulnerabilites in previous
+ releases. There was an off-by-one buffer overflow in the group handling
+ code, and integer overflows in calloc() and xdr_array().
+ <p>
+
+ This release adds native shared library support for the Hitachi
+ SuperH architecture, thanks to Stefan Allius and Edie C. Dost. A
+ new mmap based malloc was implemented by Miles Bader. This is much
+ smarter than the old "malloc-simple" and is now the default for
+ mmu-less systems, where it should greatly help reduce memory
+ fragmentation and wastage. In addition to these larger items, there
+ has been a <em>lot</em> of work done to make uClibc a cleaner, more
+ capable, library. Most applications now compile and run without
+ any trouble.
+ <p>
+ The
+ <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/Changelog">Changelog</a>
+ and <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/uClibc-0.9.13.tar.bz2">source code</a>
+ for this release are available <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/">here</a>.
+ <p>
+ Have fun!

+ <li> <b>11 July 2002, Native uClibc toolchains updated</b>
+ <br>
+ CodePoet Consulting (i.e. Erik) has released updated native
+ uClibc/gcc-3.1 and uClibc/gcc-2.95 toolchains. These toolchains
+ build real gcc cross compilers (i.e. not just a wrapper) and create
+ executables linked vs uClibc. These toolchains have been tested
+ and found working on x86, arm, and mmu-less arm. They should work
+ (at least in theory!) for all architectures supported by uClibc.
+ <p>
+
+ These toolchains should make it easy to anyone to build uClibc based
+ applications. <a href="downloads/toolchain/">Source code can be downloaded here</a>.
+ Be aware that much of the needed source code will actually be downloaded on
+ demand when you compile things. To build the toolchain, simply
+ grab the source, edit the Makefile to select where you would like
+ the toolchain installed, run 'make', and then go watch TV, eat
+ dinner, or visit with your friends while it compiles. It takes
+ about 15 minutes for Erik to compile the gcc-3.1 toolchain (w/C++ support)
+ on his Athlon XP 1600 (not counting the time it takes to download
+ source code). Your results may vary...
