<ul>
<li> <b>26 November 2001, powerpc shared libraries fully working</b>
<br>
Dave Schleef finished off the the work needed for shared library support on
powerpc. There had been a few problems remaining, and those are now squashed.
So shared libs on powerpc should be working fully now.
<p>
<li> <b>14 November 2001, m68 compiles again, Large file support working</b>
<br>
About a month ago I synced the header files with glibc 2.2.4 for better
C++ support and better standards compliance. I forgot to sync up m68k,
sparc, powerpc, and mipsel. Dave Schleef fixed powerpc while he was fixing
up the shared lib loader. I just fixed up m68k, sparc, and mipsel so they
should all compile again.
<p>
I also finished up fixing large file support (just enable DOLFS in your
Config file to enable it) and it is working just great, and greatly increases
the number of glibc applications that will work "out-of-the-tarball" without
needing any changes.
<li> <b>12 November 2001, powerpc shared lib support</b>
<br>
Thanks to David Schleef, uClibc now has full shared library support
on powerpc. This brings full shared library support to x86, ARM, and
now powerpc. Thanks Dave!
<p>
<li> <b>7 November 2001, uClibc application list</b>
<br>
uClibc now has a <a href="http://uclibc.org/uClibc-apps.html">list of applications</a>
that are known to work. If you have any applications to add to the
list, submissions are welcome!
<p>
<li> <b>18 October 2001, buildroot uClibc example system</b>
<br>
Those wanting an easy way to test out uClibc and give it
a test drive can download and compile
<a href="ftp://uclibc.org/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. This
is a nifty buildsystem that will automagically download and build
a <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a>
kernel, and will then download source for and compile up a fully
working uClibc based root filesystem. This should make it easy for
people to create their own projects. I hope that this build system
will allow people to more easily use and build uClibc based systems.
As an example of how nicely this works, the
<a href="http://tuxscreen.net/">Tuxscreen Project</a> is using a
<a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tuxscreen/buildroot-tux/">slightly adjusted variant of the buildroot system</a> to cross
compile the blob bootloader, linux kernel, and a uClibc based jffs2
root filesystem (busybox, tinylogin, udhcp, lrzsz, pcmcia-cs and
microwindows) for ARM. Pretty cool.
<p>
<li> <b>11 October 2001, v850 architecture support</b>
<br>
Miles Bader has contributed support for the v850 architecture.
<p>
<li> <b>25 Spetember 2001, header files updated</b>
<br>
uClibc's header files are now in sync with glibc 2.2.4,
allowing better standards compliance, better portibility, and
better C++ support.
<p>
<li> <b>4 July 2001, ARM shared library support</b>
<br>
uClibc now has full shared library support on ARM.
<p>
<li> <b>9 May 2001, libm added</b>
<br>
uClibc now has a very complete math library.
<p>
<p> <li> <b>9 May 2001, ld.so added</b>
<br>
uClibc now has a native ld.so. It currently is only ported to work on x86,
but porting to other architectures should not be too difficult.
<p> <li> <b>15 March 2001, powerpc port added</b>
<br>
David Schleef contributed a powerpc port, which is now in CVS.
<p> <li> <b>19 February 2001, SH port added</b>
<br>
Jean-Yves Avenard contributed an SH port. See his email
with the initial patch <a href="http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2001-February/000409.html">here</a>.
<p> <li> <b>16 January 2001, uClibc as a shared library</b>
<br>
As if January 16, uClibc can now be used (at least on x86) as a shared
library. See the <a href="http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2001-January/000126.html">email</a>
announcing this achievement.
<p> <li> <b>11 January 2001, gcc wrapper added</b>
<br>
Manuel Novoa III has created a wrapper for gcc that makes compiling apps vs uClibc
as simple as just setting "CC" to gcc-uClibc-< arch>. This even works when cross
compiling! Very cool.
<p> <li> <b>3 January 2001, uClibc now has a web page</b>
<br>
A lot of work has been going on under the hood with uClibc,
so I decided to put together this webpage to let the world know
that it exists and is getting to be very usable.
