- <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.

- <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.

- <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.

- 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...

- 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.
