+ <li> <b>13 November 2003, uClibc 0.9.23 Released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
+ uClibc 0.9.23. Of course, we are somewhat less than pleased that there
+ were configuration problems in the previous release that made such it
+ necessary to release .23 so quickly. Updated uClibc development systems
+ using uClibc 0.9.23 are being built and will be posted shortly. And Erik
+ has built Debian stable (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great.
+
+ <p>
+
+ This release continues to be binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and
+ 0.9.22 -- as long as you pick compatible configuration options. Enabling
+ or disabling things like soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing
+ cpu optimizations are all good examples of binary incompatible
+ configuration options. If have changed any of those sorts of options (or
+ if you are not sure!) you will need to recompile all your applications and
+ libraries.
+
+ <p>
+
+ As usual, the
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/Changelog">Changelog</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/Changelog.full">detailed changelog</a>,
+ and <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/uClibc-0.9.23.tar.bz2">source code for this release</a>
+ are available <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/">here</a>.

+ <li> <b>8 November 2003, uClibc 0.9.22 Released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
+ uClibc 0.9.22. This release has been cooking for a couple of months now
+ and is looking quite solid. We have done quite a lot of testing with this
+ release and things are looking good. And Erik has built Debian stable
+ (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great. Expect that to be released
+ in the next few days.
+
+ <p>

+ soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing cpu optimizations are
+ all good examples of binary incompatible configuration options. If have
+ changed any of those sorts of options (or if you are not sure!) you will
+ need to recompile all your applications and libraries.
+
+ <p>
+
+ Updated uClibc development systems using uClibc 0.9.22 will be made
+ available within a few days. Meanwhile, we invite you to try out uClibc
+ with the latest <a href="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/">Linux Test Project
+ test suite</a> (you will need to apply a small <a
+ href="http://www.uclibc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/sources/ltp-testsuite.patch?rev=1.3">patch</a>.
+ And also give the latest Perl and Python test suites a try as well.
+ If you find any bugs in uClibc, PLEASE let us know!

+ <li> <b>30 September 2003, dev systems updated to uClibc 0.9.21+</b>
+ <br>
+
+ The uClibc development systems for
+ <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_i386.bz2">i386</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_powerpc.bz2">powerpc</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_arm.bz2">arm</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_mipsel.bz2">mips</a>,
+ have been updated to uClibc 0.9.21 (plus all the CVS updates up to
+ today). Several problems have been fixed up,
+ gcc has been updated to version 3.3.1, binutils was updated to 2.14.90.0.6, and
+ <em>tada</em> everything finally works for cross compiling. These were
+ all cross compiled (which really makes things faster since the older
+ mipsel releases used to take 2 days to build!)
+
+ <p>
+ These are ~100 MB ext2 filesystems that run natively on the specified
+ architecture. They contains all the development software you need to build
+ your own uClibc applications, including bash, coreutils, findutils,
+ diffutils, patch, sed, ed, flex, bison, file, gawk, tar, grep gdb, strace,
+ make, gcc, g++, autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh perl,
+ and more. And of course, everything is dynamically linked against uClibc.
+ By using a uClibc only system, you can avoid all the painful
+ cross-configuration problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful
+ in the past. If you want to quickly get started with testing or using
+ uClibc you should give these images a try. You can loop mount and them
+ you can chroot into them, you can boot into with using user-mode Linux,
+ and you can even 'dd' them to a spare partition and use resize2fs to make
+ them fill the drive. Whatever works for you.
+
+ <p> If you would like to build your own custom uClibc system, you can
+ use <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a>, which is
+ how these uClibc development systems were created.
