This release adds full support (including a native shared + library loader) for the CRIS architecture, contributed by Tobias Anderberg. + Stefan Allius contributed a number of patches to fix the initialization + order for shared library global constructors and destructors as well as a + large number of SuperH fixes and cleanups. uClibc now compiles with + newer versions of gcc (i.e. RedHat 8.0). Thanks to Christian Michon, + uClibc no longer requires perl to compile. Steven J. Hill fixed dlopen for + mips. Several problems with pty and tty handling were fixed. Manuel Novoa + added new support for an /etc/TZ file to globally set the system timezone, + and fixed up a number of remaining wide char issues. Manuel is still hard + at work on bringing full locale support (optional of course) to uClibc. + And of course, this release includes the usual pile of bug fixes.
