+ <li> <b>10 April 2002, Native uClibc/gcc-3.0.4 toolchain</b>
+ <br>
+ CodePoet Consulting has released source code and a Makefile
+ to build a gcc-3.0.4 toolchain that natively targets uClibc.
+ This brings with it full C++ support for uClibc, including the
+ libstdc++ library. A gcc-2.95.x toolchain will also be released
+ shortly, but is not yet ready. At this time, only source code and
+ a Makefile for the native uClibc toolchain is being released (i.e.
+ no binaries, sorry). Source code can be downloaded
+ <a href="downloads/toolchain/">here</a>,
+ but be aware that the source code is 27 MB.
+ <p>
+ To build the toolchain, simply grab the source, edit the Makefile
+ to select where you would like the toolchain installed. Then
+ run 'make' and wait for it to compile. If you do not have a copy
+ of uClibc already, it will download the latest daily snapshot.
+
+
+ <p>
+ <li> <b>21 March 2002, uClibc 0.9.10 Released!</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate
+ availability of uClibc 0.9.10. This release adds pthreads support
+ (including pthreads support for mmu-less systems!). Additionally,
+ thanks to Manuel Novoa III, we now have a completely new stdio
+ library, which is small, standards compliant, supports pthreads,
+ wide/narrow streams, large files, and can even operate in a
+ low-memory unbuffered mode. Many, many bugs have been fixed and a
+ number of additional applications now compile and run perfectly.
+ Even with all these changes, uClibc continues to be very small.
+ On x86, a default build of the uClibc C library is still just 168k.
+
+ <p>
+
+ To make things more interesting, the release also adds support for
+ C++ constructors and destructors. To make it easy to use uClibc
+ when developing C++ applications, this release also provides a
+ wrapper for the GNU C++ compiler. Of course, for more complex C++
+ applications, such as those using iostreams, a standard C++ library
+ (libstdc++) is required. A native GNU toolchain (binutils/gcc) that
+ provides libstdc++ linked with uClibc 0.9.10 will be released in the
+ next couple of days, so stay tuned.
+
+ <p>
+ The <a href="downloads/Changelog">Changelog</a>
+ and <a href="downloads/uClibc-0.9.10.tar.bz2">Source code</a>
+ for this release are available <a href="downloads/">here</a>.

+ <li> <b>4 February 2002, uClibc 0.9.9 Released!</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate
+ availability of uClibc 0.9.9. With this release,
+ <a href="uClibc-apps.html">just about
+ everything we have tested now compiles and runs</a>. In fact,
+ there are now so many programs on the working application list that
+ rather than continue to add to this list, from now on we
+ will only be adding applications to the <em>not working list</em>. Most applications
+ on the <em>not working list</em> either require pthreads, or require
+ wide-character support. Work on wide-character support is
+ well underway, and will hopefully be moving into CVS in the next week or
+ two. Full pthreads support and rentrancy are on the TODO list
+ and are expected to be complete in the next couple of months.
+ <p>
+ The <a href="downloads/Changelog">Changelog</a>
+ and <a
+ href="downloads/uClibc-0.9.9.tar.bz2">Source code</a>
+ for this release are available <a href="downloads/">here</a>.
+ <p>
+ One final bit on news -- as some of you may have noticed, uclibc.org
+ has been a bit overloaded and somewhat slow recently. The server should
+ be getting colocated tomorrow, which will eliminate the speed problem.
+ During the move, there may be some temporary disruption of service...
+ <p>
+ Have Fun!

+ <li> <b>22 December 2001, uClibc 0.9.8 Released!</b>
+ <br>
+
+ After many months of initial development, we are pleased to announce the
+ release of uClibc 0.9.8. This release should be quite solid, and is very
+ usable. This also, hopefully, marks a transition from a slow incubation
+ phase to a more methodical release cycle. From now one, there should be
+ approximately one release per month.
+ <p>
+ The source code for this release is available
+ <a href="downloads/">here</a>.
