-    <li> <b>20 April 2004, uClibc 0.9.26 based Debian uwoody</b>
+    <li> <b>12 January 2005, uClibc 0.9.27 Released</b>
     <br>
 
-    CodePoet Consulting (i.e. Erik) is pleased to announce the immediate
-    availability of an x86 port of Debian woody compiled with uClibc 0.9.26.
-    This was originally announced a couple of months ago, but has been updated
-    a few times since to correct several small problems.  If you want an easy
-    way to start building your own uClibc based applications, this is it.  This
-    even supports building your own packages using 'apt-get', and using
-    'apt-get' to install already compiled packages from uclibc.org.  You can
-    find Erik's uwoody distribution <a
-    href="http://www.uclibc.org/dists/">uwoody distribution here</a>.  Assembling
-    this Debian/uClibc system required a <em>lot</em> of work, so if you
-    think this is the coolest thing since the invention of water, feel free to
-    <a href="http://uclibc.org/FAQ.html#support">let us know</a>.

-    <li> <b>3 January 2004, uClibc 0.9.26 Released</b>
-    <br>
-
-    CodePoet Consulting is sorry to announce there was a pthread bug that
-    slipped though our extensive testing and was only noticed a few hours after
-    the previous release.  As a result, we are now releasing uClibc 0.9.26
-    which fixes this bug, and is otherwise identical to the previous release.
-
-    <p>
-
-    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.
-    Please be aware we <b>will</b> break binary compatibilty in the upcoming
-    0.9.27 release to implement a few necessary changes we have been
-    postponing.  That will hopefully be the last ABI change before we freeze
-    the ABI for the upcoming 1.0.x stable uClibc series.

-    <li> <b>3 January 2004, uClibc 0.9.25 Released</b>
-    <br>
-
-    CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
-    uClibc 0.9.25.  This contains many bug fixes and cleanups, and is
-    recommended for anyone using uClibc.  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 <b>were</b> planning to break
-    binary compatibilty in this release, but decided to hold those changes so
-    we could push out a bugfix release.
+    This has been a long time in the making...  Release highlights:
+    <ul>
+	<li> New stdio implementation
+	<li> New optimized string functions
+	<li> Major improvements to the shared lib loader
+	<li> Shared libraries work properly on powerpc
+	<li> Debugging works on mips
+	<li> New architectures: frv, nios, nios2, bfin
+	<li> Linux 2.6.x kernel support
+	<li> Lots and lots of bug fixes
+    </ul>
 
     <p>
 
-    Please be aware we <b>will</b> break binary compatibilty in the upcoming
-    0.9.26 release to implement a few changes we have been postponing.  That
-    will hopefully be the last ABI change before we freeze the ABI for the
-    upcoming 1.0.x stable uClibc series.
+    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.

-    The powerpc dev system mostly works, but there are still some

-    <li> <b>15 December 2003, uClibc 0.9.24 Released</b>
-    <br>
-
-    CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
-    uClibc 0.9.24.  This contains various minor updates and fixes for a few
-    silly configuration problems.  Arm users should notice a speed increase
-    since some arm optimized string functions have been added.  And several
-    bugs have been fixed.
-
-    <p>
-
-    This release continues to be binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 to 0.9.23
-    -- as long as you pick compatible configuration options.  The next release
-    will <b>not</b> be binary compatible.  We've been saving up a few needed
-    changes that will be going into the next release, so while you will not
-    need to recompile all your applications and libraries just yet, keep in
-    mind we will have a flag day soon...
