+ <li> <b>8 November 2002, uClibc 0.9.16 Released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
+ uClibc 0.9.16. This release adds full support (including a native shared
+ library loader) for the CRIS architecture, contributed by Tobias Anderberg.
+ Stefan Allius contributed a number of patches to fix the initialization
+ order for shared library global constructors and destructors as well as a
+ large number of SuperH fixes and cleanups. uClibc now compiles with
+ newer versions of gcc (i.e. RedHat 8.0). Thanks to Christian Michon,
+ uClibc no longer requires perl to compile. Steven J. Hill fixed dlopen for
+ mips. Several problems with pty and tty handling were fixed. Manuel Novoa
+ added new support for an /etc/TZ file to globally set the system timezone,
+ and fixed up a number of remaining wide char issues. Manuel is still hard
+ at work on bringing full locale support (optional of course) to uClibc.
+ And of course, this release includes the usual pile of bug fixes. Many thanks
+ for the large number of patches and fixes that were contributed!
+ <p>
+
+ Erik and Manuel have been working on a
+ <a href="downloads/Glibc_vs_uClibc_Differences.txt">
+ document describing some of the differences between uClibc and glibc.</a>
+ It's not yet 100% complete, and it hasn't been nicely formatted yet. But
+ it contains a lot of helpful information and is worth a look.
+ <p>
+
+ And finally, the the old uClibc configuration system has been completely
+ removed (and there was much rejoicing). It was replaced with an entirely
+ new system based on <a href="http://www.xs4all.nl/~zippel/lc/">LinuxKernelConf</a>,
+ which has since been included into Linux 2.5.45, so it looks like Erik made
+ the right choice. Of course, those who have existing build systems using uClibc
+ will need to make a few changes... We think the change is worth it.
+ <p>
+ As usual, the
+ <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/Changelog">Changelog</a>
+ and <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/uClibc-0.9.16.tar.bz2">source code</a>
+ for this release are available <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/">here</a>.
+ You might want to download uClibc from the closest
+ <a href="http://kernel.org/mirrors/">kernel.org mirror site</a>.
+ Just pick the closest mirror site, and then go to
+ <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/">
+ http://www.XX.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/</a>
+ to download uClibc, where XX is your two letter country code.
+ <p>
+ Updated gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95 toolchains will be released shortly.
+ <p>
+
+
+ <p>
+ <li> <b>16 September 2002, gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95 toolchains released</b>
+ <br>
+
+ CodePoet Consulting (i.e. Erik) has released updated gcc-3.2 and gcc-2.95
+ uClibc toolchains. These toolchains build real gcc cross compilers (i.e.
+ not just a wrapper) and create executables linked vs uClibc. The new
+ gcc-3.2 provides uClibc support with the latest and greatest compiler
+ available from the gcc team. The gcc-2.95 toolchain has been updated to
+ the latest version of uClibc and now provides full C++ support, using the
+ <a href="http://www.stlport.org/">STLport</a> standard C++ library.
+ <p>
+
+ This toolchain should make it easy for anyone to build uClibc based
+ applications. <a href="http://www.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
+ when you compile the toolchains. To build a 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-3.2 toolchain (w/C++ support)
+ on his Athlon XP 1600 (not counting the time it takes to download
+ source code).
