<p>
+ <li> <b>27 August 2002, uClibc 0.9.15 Released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability
+ of uClibc 0.9.15. This release fixes a number of problems that turned
+ up since the last release. The good news is that uClibc now
+ passes all tests in the perl 5.8 and Python 2.2.1 test suites, both with
+ and without pthreads. So without any further ado....
+ <p>
+ The
+ <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/Changelog">Changelog</a>
+ and <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/uClibc-0.9.15.tar.bz2">source code</a>
+ for this release are available <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/">here</a>.
+ <p>
+ Have fun!

+ <li> <b>12 August 2002, uClibc 0.9.14 Released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is slightly less pleased then usual to announce the
+ immediate availability of uClibc 0.9.14. This is, unfortunately, a bugfix
+ release intended to fix the couple of dumb things that slipped into the
+ previous release. Version 0.9.13 of uClibc would fail to compile when
+ enabling both RPC and Pthreads. There was also a problem with RPC thread
+ local storage (but noone noticed since it didn't compile ;-). Also, the
+ thread locking in exit(), onexit() and atexit() was broken, and wasn't
+ actually locking anything. This release also fixes uClibc's gcc wrapper
+ to use crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o when compiling PIC code, fixing a subtle
+ bug (that was much less subtle on powerpc). Finally, this release includes a
+ few minor compile warning cleanups.

+ <li> <b>12 August 2002, Native uClibc/gcc-3.1.1 toolchain released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting (i.e. Erik) has released an updated native
+ uClibc/gcc-3.1.1 toolchain. This toolchain builds a real gcc cross
+ compiler (i.e. not just a wrapper) and creates executables linked vs
+ uClibc. This toolchain has been (briefly) tested as working on x86, arm,
+ mips, and arm7tdmi (uClinux). This toolchain provides a number of
+ improvements over previous releases. In particular, Steven J. Hill found
+ and fixes a number of "glibc-isms" in the libstdc++ math support which
+ caused a number of math functions to be mapped to the non-standard named
+ under GNU libc. This release also includes greatly improved uClinux
+ "elf2flt" support, and it now produces working flat binaries for my
+ uClinux/arm7tdmi system. The native uClibc/gcc-2.95 toolchain will be
+ updated in a few days, and will include STLport which will allow that
+ toolchain to also provide full C++ support.
+ <p>
+
+ This toolchain should make it easy for anyone to build uClibc based
+ applications. <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/toolchain/">
+ Source code can be downloaded here</a>.
+ Be aware that much of the needed source code will actually be downloaded on
+ demand when you compile things. To build the toolchain, simply
+ grab the source, edit the Makefile to select where you would like
+ the toolchain installed, run 'make', and then go watch TV, eat
+ dinner, or visit with your friends while it compiles. It takes
+ about 15 minutes for Erik to compile the gcc-3.1.1 toolchain (w/C++ support)
+ on his Athlon XP 1600 (not counting the time it takes to download
+ source code). Your results may vary...

+
+ <li> <b>9 August 2002, uClibc now mirrored on kernel.org!</b>
+ <br>
+ uClibc is now available from the kernel.org mirrors! This should make
+ uClibc downloads much faster. The kernel.org mirrors will have all
+ uClibc release versions (everything but the daily snapshots).
+ Here is a list of all the <a href="http://kernel.org/mirrors/">kernel.org mirror sites</a>.
+ Just pick the closest mirror site, and then go to "/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/"
+ to download uClibc. For example, is you live the USA, you can go to
+ <a href="http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/">
+ http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/</a> to download the latest
+ uClibc release from a nice fast system.
