-    <li> <b>25 January 2003, uClibc 0.9.17 Released</b>
-    <br>
-
-    CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
-    uClibc 0.9.17.  The biggest piece of news with this release, thanks to
-    Manuel Novoa's continuing hard work, is that we now have fully standards
-    compliant locale support (optional of course).  The support works nicely,
-    (though configuring the locales you wish to support is still manual -- a
-    task for the next release).  Full locale data for over 300 locales adds
-    approximately 250k.  The collation data for all supported locales is
-    roughly 180k.  This may seem rather large to some -- but it is much smaller
-    than the approximately 40 MB needed by Glibc to provide the same data.  And
-    if you don't need it, you can either disable locale support entirely, or
-    enable a smaller set of locales. 
-
-    <p>
-
-    This release also fixes <em>lots and lots</em> of bugs.  The arm
-    architecture support (I am embarrassed to note) was totally broken in the
-    last release, but is now working as expected.   A security problem (a
-    buffer overflow in getlogin_r) was fixed.  And there were architecture
-    updates across the board (x86, arm, powerpc, cris, h8300, sparc, and mips).
-    And of course, this release includes the usual pile of bug fixes.  Many
-    thanks for the large number of patches and fixes that were contributed!
-
-    <p>
-
-    Unfortunately, this release is not binary compatible with earlier uClibc
-    releases.  As noted as item 3 <a href="downloads/Glibc_vs_uClibc_Differences.txt">here</a>, 
-    uClibc does not (yet) attempt to
-    ensure binary compatibility across releases.  We will eventually do that
-    (once we reach the "1.0" release) but not yet.  A few bugs turned up that
-    needed to be fixed, and the only good way to fix them was to change some
-    fundamental data structure sizes.  As a result, this release is _NOT_
-    binary compatible with earlier releases -- you will need to recompile your
-    applications.  The x86, arm, powerpc, and mips architectures (i.e. the
-    systems Erik has available in his office for testing) have been tested and
-    are known to work following this change.  Other architectures <em>may</em> 
-    need additional updates.  Sorry about that, but it had to be done.
