-0.9.31 not yet released
-
- Upgrade notices from previous versions.
- o On x86_64 the format of /var/run/utmp changed compared to previous
- versions. To retain compatibility with glibc we now define
- __WORDSIZE_COMPAT32. If you are certain that you will never use
- glibc nor run in i386 mode on your x86_64 installation, you can
- remove this definition from wordsize.h.
- Otherwise you have to delete /var/run/utmp on x86_64 hosts when
- upgrading to 0.9.31
- o The SHARED_LIB_LOADER_PREFIX was renamed to a single path
- component called MULTILIB_DIR and defaults to 'lib'.
-
-0.9.27 12 January 2005
-
- This has been a long time in the making... Release highlights:
- o New stdio implementation
- o New optimized string functions
- o Major improvements to the shared lib loader
- o Shared libraries work properly on powerpc
- o Debugging works on mips
- o New architectures: frv, nios, nios2, bfin
- o Linux 2.6.x kernel support
- o Lots and lots of bug fixes
-
- This release is NOT binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.26 or any earlier
- release, so be prepared to recompile your software if you are still using
- an old version of uClibc.

-
-0.9.26 3 January 2004
-
- This simply adds a fix for a pthread bug that was noticed a few hours
- after the previous release. Otherwise identical to 0.9.25.
-
- This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-25 as long as
- you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will break things.
- We _were_ planning to break binary compatibilty in this release, but
- decided to hold those changes so we could push out a bugfix release.
-
- We _will_ break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.27 release to
- implement a few things we have been postponing. That should hopefully be
- the last ABI change before we freeze the ABI for the upcoming 1.0.x
- stable uClibc series.
-
-Release highlights:
- o A trivial fix for a pthread bug
- o Nothing else
-

-
-0.9.25 3 January 2004
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-
-Note:
- This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-24 as long as
- you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will break things.
- We _were_ planning to break binary compatibilty in this release, but
- decided to hold those changes so we could push out a bugfix release.
-
- We _will_ break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.26 release to
- implement a few things we have been postponing. That should hopefully be
- the last ABI change before we freeze the ABI for the upcoming 1.0.x
- stable uClibc series.
-
-Release highlights:
- o Fixed a ton of problems found using the LTP and NIST test suites.
- The few remaining test failures are obscure corner cases, such as
- a few functions that fail (correctly) with incorrect errno values.
- o Fixed a longstanding pthreads bug -- amoung other things, you no
- longer need to explicitly add -lpthread for perl to work.
- o Added some sh optimized string functions
- o Added sh64 shared library support
- o The default malloc implementation has been replaced, and will
- now actually free memory when told to do so.
- o Both popen() and exec*() now behave themselves per SuSv3
- o Better 2.6.x kernel header support
- o Added support for Position Independent Executables (PIE) on x86
- o Lots of other minor cleanups
-

-0.9.24 15 December 2003
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-
-Note:
- This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-23 as
- long as you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will
- break things.
-
- We currently plan to break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.25 to
- implement a few things we have been postponing, which will hopefully be
- the last change....
-
-Release highlights:
- o Fixed several silly configuration problems
- o Added arm optimized string functions
- o Lots of minor cleanups

-
-0.9.23 13 November 2003
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-
-Note:
- This release is binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and 0.9.22 as
- long as you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will
- break things. Enabling or disabling things like soft-float,
- locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu type are all good
- examples of things that will break binary compatibility.
-
-Release highlights:
- o Fixed several silly configuration problems that were
- present in the 0.9.22 release.
- o Fixed compilation problem with soft-float support on
- several architectures.
- o Lots of cleanup work on the powepc shared lib loader
- thanks to Joakim Tjernlund.
- o Updated the debian packaging for use in a standalone uClibc
- system, rather than being a subordinate library under a
- glibc based system.
-

-
-0.9.22 8 November 2003
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-
-Note:
- This release is binary compatible with the 0.9.21 release
- if you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that
- might break things for you (i.e. enabling or disabling things
- like soft-float, locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu
- type are all good examples of binary incompatible config options).
-
-Release highlights:
- o Added e1, microblaze, and sh64 architectures.
- o Much improved soft-float support
- o Rewrote the passwd and group handing functions
- and implemented all SuSv3 required reentrant
- versions.
- o Reworked and updated the Config system. You now
- get to select your target architecture with the
- config system.
- o Fixed pthreads for mmuless m68k systems
- o Added some x86 optimized string functions.
- o Lots and lots of bugs fixed.
-

-
-0.9.21 9 September 2003
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-
-Note:
- This release is not binary compatible with earlier releases.
- Sorry about that. We have never promised to provide binary
- compatibility until we hit version 1.0, and even then, if
- you change your configuration.
-
-Release highlights:
- o uClibc now has full ANSI/ISO C99 locale support (except
- for wcsftime() and collating items in regex).
- o Added support for using pre-generated locale data, making
- it easy for mere mortals to use uClibc w/locale support.
- o Lots of new tuning options added to trade size
- for features, allowing for smaller static binaries.
- o The "dlopen()'ing libraries that depend on libraries"
- problem was fixed.
- o A new scanf implementation. Well tested, but
- brand new so watch for obscure bugs...
- o Reworked and updated the Config system, adding several
- nice new features which we now use.
- o Lots and lots of sundry bug fixes and cleanups.

-0.9.20 30 June 2003
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-
-Note:
- This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 and 0.9.19.
-
-
-Release highlights:
- o Some ldd, profiling, and gcc wrapper updates
- o Updated to support and compile with gcc 3.3
- o Several needed mips updates
- o Building under cygwin should now work...
- o Prevent non-PIC code getting into PIC libs
- o Added mmap64 support
- o mmu-less systems now get a 16k default thread stack size
- which is much more sane than the old 2 MB default...
- o Implemented syscall() for powerpc
- o Optionally struct tm extension support
- o Lots of other sundry little fixes and cleanups.
- o Prevent buffer overflows in the passwd and group functions.

-
-0.9.19 3 March 2003
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-
-Note:
- This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 (except
- for mips, but then mips was unusable in stock 0.9.18 anyways).
-
-
-Release highlights:
- Stefan Allius
- o Some Makefile and warning fixes
- David Airlie
- o Fixed gcc wrapper handling of ctor/dtor stuff when used in
- with and w/o the nostdinc and nostdlib options

- o Fixed a number of system call kernel type/user type translation
- problems that scrambled a handful of system calls.
- o Fixup powerpc syscalls to eliminate warnings with gcc-3.2
- o Fixed several ioctl special cases for powerpc
- o Checked in forgotten mips kernel_types.h changes
- o Fixed mips shared library loader bug that caused segfaults
- o Major update to the pthreads library. Should improve performance.
- o Fixed uClibc's shared library loader so we can properly debug
- applications using pthreads (must use gdb 5.3 or newer which
- was compiled using uClibc).
- o Made uClibc's ldd act just the glibc provided one (i.e. relying
- on the shared lib loader to do the work) when it is possible to
- doi so, and only rummage about the ELF headers when we have no
- other choice (such as when using 'ldd' on cross compiled stuff).
- Miles Bader
- o header file updates for v850 architecture
- o Fixed v850 crt0.S __uClibc_main argument stack space
- Jeffrey Damick
- o Fixed res_init() so it properly reloads /etc/resolv.conf
- Vadim Lebedev
- o Fixed ARM setjmp when floating point was disabled
- David McCullough
- o Removed debug (-g) when building crti.o and crtn.o, as
- debug would mess up the build for SH4 and probably others.
- o Fixed SH setjmp when floating point was enabled
-
-

-
-
-0.9.18 12 February 2003
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.

- do not lose part of the filename
- o Fixed getdents64.c so the build will not break when compiling
- vs a 2.0.x Linux kernel when UCLIBC_HAS_LFS is enabled
- o Create stub crti.o and crtn.o files when UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR is disabled
- o Fixed licenses for a few files that erroneously were listed as GPL
- but were really LGPL after discussing with authors

-0.9.17 25 January 2003
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-
-Note:
-
- I have always reserved the right to make binary incompatible changes as
- needed prior to the "1.0" release. This release is a good example of
- that. A few bugs turned up that needed to be fixed and the only good way
- to fix them was to change some fundamental data structure sizes. So I did
- just that. As a result, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with
- earlier releases -- you will need to recompile your applications.
-

- o Don't build the config system with ncurses unless asked to
- Tobias Anderberg
- o cris architecture updates
- Erik Andersen
- o Changed 'struct stat' and 'struct stat64' so they use types that
- are consistant with use elsewhere in the library. Without this,
- subtle bugs would occur due to comparing signed and unsigned
- types (for example, GNU tar wouldn't work)
- o Fixed dlopen so it works with staticly linked apps
- o Fixed sigaction on arm architecture so sa_restorer works properly

- o Powerpc pread and pwrite are now implemented correctly
- o Powerpc syscall mechanism re-implemented
- o Sparc architecture and syscall mechanism fixed up so things compile
- o usershell reimplemented
- o Fixed global destructors for staticly linked applications
- o Added dynamic atexit support (needed for full C++ ctor/dtor support)
- o The ldd utility now acts more like the GNU utility
- o Added a stub libnsl library to make stupid configure scripts bahave
- o Always build crt1.o as well as crt0.o to minimize the need to mess
- with the compiler
- o Rewrote powerpc crt0.S to properly handle ctors/dtors
- o Removed unimplemented and legacy stuff from our header files to
- make configure behave better
- o Made the lib loader also support libs in /usr/X11R6/lib by default
- o Config system updates
- o networking function updates
- o Large file support updates
- o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
- Nick Fedchik
- o Support ether_aton
- Nathan Field
- o Fixed pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_unlock so they
- actually work as advertised on mips

- Brett Hunt
- o Fixed potential segfaults during 'make menuconfig'
- Jay Kulpinski
- o Fixed a subtle problem in the DNS resolver that prevented
- uncompressed DNS lookup responses from working

- David Meggy
- o fixed the problem where arm binaries would crash on start
- that Erik stupidly caused right before the last release.
- Manuel Novoa III
- o Major locale support update!
- o Allow people to use pregenerated locale data instead of generating
- approx 40Mb of glibc locales to get the 300+ locales currently
- supported.
- o locale dependent collation support
- o Fixed locale support tools to work when cross-compiling
- o Added the *wprintf functions
- o Added the wcsto{inttype} functions
- o Added iconv() and a mini iconv utility
- o Added hsearch and hsearch_r
- o Fixed a silly bug allowing wprintf %s to work correctly.
- o Fixed fdopen when used with "a" (append).
- o Fixed stdio file position handing to be sure fell() always
- gives correct results
- Luc Van Oostenryck
- o Fixed a buffer overflow in getlogin_r
- Yoshinori Sato
- o Hitachi h8300 architecture update
- Ronald Wahl
- o Powerpc shared library relocation fixes

-
-This is a minor bugfix release.
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-Release highlights:

-
- -Erik
-
-
-
-0.9.14 12 August 2002

-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-Release highlights:
- o Fix a compile error when RPC and Pthread support
- were both enabled.
- o Eliminate duplicate define warnings in wstring.c.
- o Fix potentially broken preprocessor comparisons.
- o Erik was an idiot and broke thread locking in exit(),
- atexit() and friends. Fix that.
- o Fix the gcc wrapper to use crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o when
- compiling PIC code (crtbegin.o and crtend.o) otherwise.
-
- -Erik
-
-
-
-
-0.9.13 9 August 2002
-
-Security Fixes
- o There was an off-by-one buffer overflow in the group
- handling code, fix thanks to Joseph Chiu.
- o There was an integer overflow bug in calloc, per
- http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5398
- o There was an integer overflow bug in the xdr_array
- RPC code, per http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5356
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
-Release highlights:
- o Add full shared library support for Hitachi SuperH (sh)
- thanks to Stefan Allius and Edie C. Dost
- o Lots of reentrance cleanups (we should now be fully
- reentrant when compiled with pthread support).
- o Miles Bader implemented a new mmap based malloc which is much
- smarter than the old "malloc-simple", and actually works, unlike
- the old "malloc". This is now the default for mmu-less systems
- and should greatly help reduce memory fragmentation and wastage.
- o Reworked syscall handling for i386 and ARM, smaller and cleaner.
- o Support for the syscall() function on i386 and ARM
- o The uClibc g++ wrapper now automagically adds the proper include
- search path and and libraries.
- o Lots of shared library loader updates
- o dlopen'd shred libraries not properly run destructors
- when ctor/dtor support is enabled
- o pread/pwrite/pread64/pwrite64 now all work as expected
- o Lots and lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.
-
- -Erik
-
-
-
-
-0.9.12 20 June 2002
-
-See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.

- o Add full shared library support for mips (big and little
- endian), thanks to a lot of hard work from Steven J. Hill
- o i960 architecture support, thanks to Martin Proulx
- o An initial alpha port (works, but needs some cleanup)
- o Fixes shared library support for powerpc
- o Fixes for mmu-less systems
- o Much improved thread locking and reentrance.
- o More gcc wrapper updates. XFree86 really does link
- this time around. It still didn't last time.
- o Libcrypt now passes conformance tests
- o Nearly complete locale supporti thanks to a lot
- of hard work by Manuel Novoa III. This stuff is
- _way_ smaller than glibc's
- o Completely new time handling functions also by Manuel
- o Lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.

- architectures. John spotted this, which fixed a _ton_ of problems since
- anything calling stat() was previously broken.
-Jim Treadway:
- o Eliminated use of alarm() from the DNS resolver by converting
- it to use select instead (much cleaner).

- o Fixed stpcpy function declaration
- o Many large file support improvements.
- o Fixed fcntl to work when DOLFS is enabled
- o Fixed termios code to do the Right Thing(tm)
- o Allow regex to be excluded at compile time
- o Implemented mempcpy
- o Build ldd and readelf for the target system and for the
- host system
- o Fix several cases where get-needed-libgcc-objects.sh
- could fail, breaking the shared uClibc library.
- o Include all shared library loader objects into a
- single C file, thereby reducing its size further.
- o Reworked the shared library linking process to be more
- flexible so that gcc and ld can more easily be built to
- target uClibc library.
- o Better error checking in the Makefiles. Be more pedantic
- about tar, chmod, etc to avoid system dependent failures.
- o We can now autodetect the target architecture
- o Hide references to wchar_t so GNU autoconf
- configure scripts won't get confused and try to
- enable wide char support.
- o Fixed stdio.h so apps can use varargs.h if they want to.
- o Added brk/sbrk support for ARM, powerpc, mips, and sparc
- and set them to default to the much faster brk using malloc
- o Added missing syscalls: get_kernel_syms, fcntl64,
- fdatasync, sched_setparam, sched_getparam,
- sched_setscheduler, sched_getscheduler,
- sched_get_priority_max, sched_get_priority_min,
- sched_rr_get_interval, sigaltstack, sendfile,
- pivot_root, sigsuspend, setfsuid, and setfsgid
- o Force DOPIC be true when HAVE_SHARED is true.
- o Fixed hstrerror()
- o Implemented gethostent(), sethostent(), and endhostent()
- o Added arch specific support so that sparc and mips actually
- compile and work
-Miles Bader:
- o Fixes for the v850 architecture: crt0, setjmp,
- arch autodetection, etc.
- o Fixed `make install' to not build ldso stuff on
- non-shared-library systems.
-Michael E Brown:
- o Allow the gcc wrapper to support setting DEVEL_PREFIX
- and BUILD_DIR at runtime (no more need to recompile).
-M. R. Brown and Erik Andersen:
- o Fixed the SH port so it now works. Tested and shown
- working on an SH4 Dreamcast system.
-Kim Heino:
- o Made 'make clean' remove generated bits/syscall.h
-David McCullough:
- o SH architecture updates. Added brk, sbrk,
- o Fixed simple malloc to work on systems with an MMU
- o Taught getutent to return NULL if utmp doesn't exist.
- o Added insque/remque support
- o Fixed DNS resolver version number so apps won't get
- confused and use the wrong API.
- o Added Config selectable shadow password support
-Yoshinori Sato
- o Contributed support for the Hitach H8/300H architecture
-Cédric Schieli:
- o Add support for inet_netof, inet_lnaof, inet_makeaddr
- and hstrerror.
-David Schleef:
- o Added libstrip, a nifty script to automagically
- strip unneeded content from the uClibc shared
- libraries.
-Martin Sieper
- o Added getw() and putw()
- o Added missing header files -- lastlog.h, sgtty.h,
- netipx/ipx.h, sys/perm.h
-Stefan Soucek:
- o Add rcmd support, i.e. rsh, rlogin, etc.
- o Fix rcmd to avoid alloca, which is dangerous
- on mmu-less systems
-spudmonkey@racsa.co.cr:
- o Eliminate a buffer overflow in the shared library loader
-Brian Stafford:
- o Enable support for Unix98 PTYs, and add option
- to disable old style PTYs.
