+ <li> <b>30 June 2003, uClibc 0.9.20 Released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
+ uClibc 0.9.20. This is primarily a bug-fix release. This release remains
+ binary compatible with 0.9.18 and 0.9.19 (as long as you leave the
+ new UCLIBC_HAS_TM_EXTENSIONS option disabled), so you don't have to recompile
+ everything if you don't really feel like it.
+ <p>
+
+ This release has many small improvements. At this point, most applications
+ that compile and work with glibc will also compile and run with uClibc.
+ Perl and Python even pass all the tests in their test suites.
+ <p>
+
+ There is currently one notable exception. Applications that use dlopen()
+ to load libraries that themselves depend on other libraries, may have weak
+ symbols within those depended-upon libraries resolved incorrectly. This
+ problem is currently being worked on. Other than that, everything seems
+ to now be working as expected....
+
+ <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-0.9.20.tar.bz2">source code for this release</a>
+ are available <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/">here</a>.
+ <p>

+ <li> <b>30 June 2003, dev systems updated to uClibc 0.9.20</b>
+ <br>
+
+ The uClibc development systems for
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-i386.bz2">i386</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-powerpc.bz2">powerpc</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-arm.bz2">arm</a>,
+ <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-mipsel.bz2">mips</a>,
+ have been updated to uClibc 0.9.20. Several problems have been fixed up,
+ gcc has been updated to version 3.3, and Perl 5.8.0 is now included.
+ <p>
+
+ This is a 150 MB ext2 filesystem that runs natively on the specified
+ architecture. It 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 then
+ chroot into them, you can boot into them 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 the uClibc development systems were created.
