0.9.15 27 August 2002
This is a minor bugfix release.
See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
Release highlights:
o Eliminated the HAS_LONG_LONG option. gcc always supports
long long, and the option never excluded all long long anyways.
o ctype.h no longer allows multiple argument evaluation in
compliance with ANSI/ISO C99
o Obscure printf fixes -- one involving %o and one involving %f.
o Bugfixes for locking and reentrance in password/group functions
o Directly use kernel types for most items, eliminating needless
translation and fixing several bugs.
o Directly use kernel struct stat -- no more translating
o More superH (sh) architecture merging from Stefan Allius
o Errno values and strerror are now correct on alpha, sparc, and mips
o Fixed an obscure bug with fclose when custom streams are enabled.
o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
-Erik
0.9.14 12 August 2002
This is a minor bugfix release.
See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
Release highlights:
o Fix a compile error when RPC and Pthread support
were both enabled.
o Eliminate duplicate define warnings in wstring.c.
o Fix potentially broken preprocessor comparisons.
o Erik was an idiot and broke thread locking in exit(),
atexit() and friends. Fix that.
o Fix the gcc wrapper to use crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o when
compiling PIC code (crtbegin.o and crtend.o) otherwise.
-Erik
0.9.13 9 August 2002
Security Fixes
o There was an off-by-one buffer overflow in the group
handling code, fix thanks to Joseph Chiu.
o There was an integer overflow bug in calloc, per
http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5398
o There was an integer overflow bug in the xdr_array
RPC code, per http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5356
See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
Release highlights:
o Add full shared library support for Hitachi SuperH (sh)
thanks to Stefan Allius and Edie C. Dost
o Lots of reentrance cleanups (we should now be fully
reentrant when compiled with pthread support).
o Miles Bader implemented a new mmap based malloc which is much
smarter than the old "malloc-simple", and actually works, unlike
the old "malloc". This is now the default for mmu-less systems
and should greatly help reduce memory fragmentation and wastage.
o Reworked syscall handling for i386 and ARM, smaller and cleaner.
o Support for the syscall() function on i386 and ARM
o The uClibc g++ wrapper now automagically adds the proper include
search path and and libraries.
o Lots of shared library loader updates
o dlopen'd shred libraries not properly run destructors
when ctor/dtor support is enabled
o pread/pwrite/pread64/pwrite64 now all work as expected
o Lots and lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.
-Erik
0.9.12 20 June 2002
See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
Release highlights:
o Add full shared library support for mips (big and little
endian), thanks to a lot of hard work from Steven J. Hill
o i960 architecture support, thanks to Martin Proulx
o An initial alpha port (works, but needs some cleanup)
o Fixes shared library support for powerpc
o Fixes for mmu-less systems
o Much improved thread locking and reentrance.
o More gcc wrapper updates. XFree86 really does link
this time around. It still didn't last time.
o Libcrypt now passes conformance tests
o Nearly complete locale supporti thanks to a lot
of hard work by Manuel Novoa III. This stuff is
_way_ smaller than glibc's
o Completely new time handling functions also by Manuel
o Lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.
-Erik
Erik Andersen:
0.9.11 10 April 2002
Release highlights:
o Lots of bug fixes
o Much better large file support
o Several gcc wrapper bug fixes, so things like iproute2 and
XFree86 should now link properly.
o Fixes a stdio thread locking bug that could cause random
deadlocks on s*printf calls when threading was enabled.
Erik Andersen:
o Added a generic implementation of truncate64.c and ftruncate64.c
o Added missing creat64, glob64, mkstemp64, getrlimit64, setrlimit64
o Removed internal erroneous use of __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
o Made libpthread compile on sparc and powerpc
o Made libpthread soname and symlinks match the other libraries.
o Added finite() to the C89 math lib, since some math functions use it.
o Added missing function pointer to error.c (some apps wanted it)
o Fixed initfini build for arches where gcc tries to be sneaky
o Fixed m68k/bits/setjmp.h which I has broken in the last release.
o Fixed a buffer overflow in the dynamic library loader

deadlocks on s*printf calls when threading was enabled.
o Implemented sqrtf(), needed for libstdc++ on arm
Miles Bader:
o Make clean fixes to not blindly wipe all symlinks
o Re-enabled clnt_perror()
o Re-implemented swab()
Dwayne Fontenot:

Steven J. Hill:
o Many updates to the mips dynamic loader. Not yet working but
getting very close now.

o Support libpthread on mips
Richard June:
o Fixed several bugs in utmp code (pututline was only writing the
first sizeof-a-pointer bytes to the utmpfile).
o setutent() was only opening utmp readonly.
m4@brecis.COM:
o Fixed a silly typing problem with the getuid syscall.
Manuel Novoa III:
o Fixed stdio FILE read/write auto-transition bugs.
o Better stdio errno handling
o Changed setvbuf() to more closely match glibc's behavior

Yoshinori Sato:
o Fixed h8300 architecture support for pthreads and changes to
the include files

o Made powerpc assembly code PIC-compatible
o Removed powerpc R_PPC_REL24 handling, since it was deceptively useless.
John Traill:
o Several types on powerpc, such as dev_t, are different than on other
architectures. John spotted this, which fixed a _ton_ of problems since
anything calling stat() was previously broken.
Jim Treadway:
o Eliminated use of alarm() from the DNS resolver by converting
it to use select instead (much cleaner).
0.9.10 21 March 2002
Major new features:
o pthreads support (derived from glibc 2.1.3's linuxthreads library)
by Stefan Soucek and Erik Andersen
o pthreads support for MMU-less systems, by Stefan Soucek
o Complete rewrite of all stdio functions for standards compliance,
small size, pthreads support, wide/narrow stream support, large

o Fixed v850 headers after Erik messed them up
o Eliminate include/features.h namespace pollution
M. R. Brown:

0.9.9 February 4, 2002
Erik Andersen:
o A bunch of doc updates. Major update to the working
apps list.
o Added a configurator script (extra/Configs/uClibc_config_fix.pl)
which can simplify configuring uClibc.
o Fixed setjmp/longjmp on x86,arm,powerpc,mips,and sparc.
Hitting ^C in ash kills client apps now, not ash.
o Reworked signal handling code so it now passes POSIX
conformance tests.
o Fixed sleep and usleep to work correctly when
interrupted by signals.

could fail, breaking the shared uClibc library.
o Include all shared library loader objects into a
single C file, thereby reducing its size further.
o Reworked the shared library linking process to be more
flexible so that gcc and ld can more easily be built to
target uClibc library.
o Better error checking in the Makefiles. Be more pedantic
about tar, chmod, etc to avoid system dependent failures.
o We can now autodetect the target architecture
o Hide references to wchar_t so GNU autoconf
configure scripts won't get confused and try to
enable wide char support.
o Fixed stdio.h so apps can use varargs.h if they want to.
o Added brk/sbrk support for ARM, powerpc, mips, and sparc
and set them to default to the much faster brk using malloc
o Added missing syscalls: get_kernel_syms, fcntl64,
fdatasync, sched_setparam, sched_getparam,
sched_setscheduler, sched_getscheduler,
sched_get_priority_max, sched_get_priority_min,
sched_rr_get_interval, sigaltstack, sendfile,
pivot_root, sigsuspend, setfsuid, and setfsgid

compile and work

arch autodetection, etc.

non-shared-library systems.
Michael E Brown:

C�dric Schieli:
o Add support for inet_netof, inet_lnaof, inet_makeaddr

strip unneeded content from the uClibc shared
libraries.
Martin Sieper
o Added getw() and putw()
o Added missing header files -- lastlog.h, sgtty.h,
netipx/ipx.h, sys/perm.h
Stefan Soucek:
o Add rcmd support, i.e. rsh, rlogin, etc.
