- <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.

- <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...
