<li> <b>19 December 2003, dev systems updated to uClibc 0.9.24</b>
<br>
Current uClibc development systems have been posted for
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_i386.bz2">i386</a>,
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_powerpc.bz2">powerpc</a>,
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_arm.bz2">arm</a>,
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_mips.bz2">mips</a>,
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_mipsel.bz2">mipsel</a>, and
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_sh4.bz2">sh4</a>.
The powerpc dev system mostly works, but there is still some sortof
problem with the shared library loader that has not yet been resolved.
Details on what these are and how to use them can be found in the
<a href="/FAQ.html#dev_systems">FAQ</a>
<p>
<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...

<a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/Changelog.full">detailed changelog</a>,
and <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/uClibc-0.9.24.tar.bz2">source code for this release</a>
are available <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/">here</a>.
<p>
<li> <b>13 November 2003, uClibc 0.9.23 Released</b>
<br>
CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
uClibc 0.9.23. Of course, we are somewhat less than pleased that there
were configuration problems in the previous release that made such it
necessary to release .23 so quickly. Updated uClibc development systems
using uClibc 0.9.23 are being built and will be posted shortly. And Erik
has built Debian stable (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great.
<p>
This release continues to be binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and
0.9.22 -- as long as you pick compatible configuration options. Enabling
or disabling things like soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing
cpu optimizations are all good examples of binary incompatible
configuration options. If have changed any of those sorts of options (or
if you are not sure!) you will need to recompile all your applications and
libraries.

are available <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/">here</a>.
<p>
<p>
<li> <b>8 November 2003, uClibc 0.9.22 Released</b>
<br>
CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
uClibc 0.9.22. This release has been cooking for a couple of months now
and is looking quite solid. We have done quite a lot of testing with this
release and things are looking good. And Erik has built Debian stable
(woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great. Expect that to be released
in the next few days.
<p>
This release is binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 -- as long as you pick
compatible configuration options. Enabling or disabling things like
soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing cpu optimizations are
all good examples of binary incompatible configuration options. If have
changed any of those sorts of options (or if you are not sure!) you will
need to recompile all your applications and libraries.
<p>
Updated uClibc development systems using uClibc 0.9.22 will be made
available within a few days. Meanwhile, we invite you to try out uClibc
with the latest <a href="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/">Linux Test Project
test suite</a> (you will need to apply a small <a
href="http://www.uclibc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/sources/ltp-testsuite.patch?rev=1.3">patch</a>.
And also give the latest Perl and Python test suites a try as well.
If you find any bugs in uClibc, PLEASE let us know!

<li> <b>30 September 2003, dev systems updated to uClibc 0.9.21+</b>
<br>
The uClibc development systems for
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_i386.bz2">i386</a>,
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_powerpc.bz2">powerpc</a>,
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_arm.bz2">arm</a>,
<a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_mipsel.bz2">mips</a>,
have been updated to uClibc 0.9.21 (plus all the CVS updates up to
today). Several problems have been fixed up,
gcc has been updated to version 3.3.1, binutils was updated to 2.14.90.0.6, and
<em>tada</em> everything finally works for cross compiling. These were
all cross compiled (which really makes things faster since the older
mipsel releases used to take 2 days to build!)
<p>
These are ~100 MB ext2 filesystems that run natively on the specified
architecture. They 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 them
you can chroot into them, you can boot into with 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 these uClibc development systems were created.
