This release is a good example of + that. A few bugs turned up that needed to be fixed and the only good way + to fix them was to change some fundamental data structure sizes. So I did + just that. As a result, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with + earlier releases -- you will need to recompile your applications. + + +Release highlights: + Stefan Allius + o fixed a number of shared library loader bugs + o setjmp, longjmp, clone, and vfork cleanups for the SH architecture + o Don't build the config system with ncurses unless asked to + Tobias Anderberg + o cris architecture updates + Erik Andersen + o Changed 'struct stat' and 'struct stat64' so they use types that + are consistant with use elsewhere in the library. Without this, + subtle bugs would occur due to comparing signed and unsigned + types (for example, GNU tar wouldn't work) + o Fixed dlopen so it works with staticly linked apps + o Fixed sigaction on arm architecture so sa_restorer works properly + o Fixed sigaction on x86 architecture for (fixed debugging threads) + o Fixed a wide char related segfault in the regular expression code + o Powerpc pread and pwrite are now implemented correctly + o Powerpc syscall mechanism reimplemented + o Sparc architecture and syscall mechanism fixed up so things compile + o usershell reimplemented + o Fixed global destructors for staticly linked applications + o Added dynamic atexit support (needed for full C++ ctor/dtor support) + o The ldd utility now acts more like the GNU utility + o Added a stub libnsl library to make stupid configure scripts bahave + o Always build crt1.o as well as crt0.o to minimize the need to mess + with the compiler + o Rewrote powerpc crt0.S to properly handle ctors/dtors + o Removed unimplemented and legacy stuff from our header files to + make configure behave better + o Made the lib loader also support libs in /usr/X11R6/lib by default + o Config system updates + o networking function updates + o Large file support updates + o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups + Nick Fedchik + o Support ether_aton + Nathan Field + o Fixed pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_unlock so they + actually work as advertised on mips + o Fixed several nasty pthread bugs fixing debugging + Brett Hunt + o Fixed potential segfaults during 'make menuconfig' + Jay Kulpinski + o Fixed a subtle problem in the DNS resolver that prevented + uncompressed DNS lookup responses from working + David McCullough + o Fixed pclose error handling + David Meggy + o fixed the problem where arm binaries would crash on start + that Erik stupidly caused right before the last release. + Manuel Novoa III + o Major locale support update! + o Allow people to use pregenerated locale data instead of generating + approx 40Mb of glibc locales to get the 300+ locales currently + supported. + o locale dependent collation support + o Fixed locale support tools to work when cross-compiling + o Added the *wprintf functions + o Added the wcsto{inttype} functions + o Added iconv() and a mini iconv utility + o Added hsearch and hsearch_r + o Fixed a silly bug allowing wprintf %s to work correctly. + o Fixed fdopen when used with "a" (append). + o Fixed stdio file position handing to be sure fell() always + gives correct results + Luc Van Oostenryck + o Fixed a buffer overflow in getlogin_r + Yoshinori Sato + o Hitachi h8300 architecture update + Ronald Wahl + o Powerpc shared library relocation fixes + + -Erik + + + 0.9.16 8 November 2002 See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what. |
