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! + <p> + + + <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... + <p> + + <P> <li> <b>20 June 2002, uClibc 0.9.12 Released</b> <br> |
