+ <li> <b>9 September 2003, uClibc 0.9.21 Released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
+ uClibc 0.9.21. This release has been brewing for several months now, and
+ provides quite a lot of additional functionality and quite a few bug fixes
+ as well. Many people will be pleased that this release fixes the
+ "dlopen()'ing libraries that depend on libraries" problem.
+
+ <p>
+
+ The biggest thing in this release (and I do mean that literally) is that
+ uClibc now has full ANSI/ISO C99 locale support. Well, except for
+ wcsftime() and collating items in regex, which are not done yet. Adding
+ support for the default set of locales (169 UTF-8 locales and 144 locales
+ using other codesets) will enlarge uClibc by around 300k. Still, if you
+ need locale support, that is still much better than the roughly 30MB the
+ comparable set of locale date occupies with glibc. And you can of course
+ reduce the 300k by reducing the number of supported locales.
+
+ <p>
+
+ As usual, this release has many improvements, both large and small. At
+ this point, most applications that compile and work with glibc will also
+ compile and run with uClibc. Both Perl and Python pass all the tests in
+ their test suites (both with and without locale support enabled). We
+ invite you to grab a copy of the latest <a
+ href="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/"> Linux Test Project test suite</a> and
+ give uClibc some abuse. We are not yet perfect, but we are getting pretty
+ darn close.
+
+ <p>
+
+ This release is not binary compatible with earlier releases. Depending on
+ your configuration, you may actually still be binary compatible, but it
+ would be a good idea to recompile your applications when moving to the
+ uClibc 0.9.21 release. We are sorry about that, but we have never promised
+ to provide binary compatibility until we hit version 1.0. And even then,
+ if you change your uClibc configuration, you still still generally need to
+ recompile...
+
+ <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-0.9.21.tar.bz2">source code for this release</a>
+ are available <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/">here</a>.
+
+ <p>
+
+ Updated uClibc development systems using uClibc 0.9.21 will be made
+ available within a few days.
