This release has been brewing for several months now, and + provides quite a lot of additional functionality and quite a few bug fixes + as well. Many people will be pleased that this release fixes the + "dlopen()'ing libraries that depend on libraries" problem. + + <p> + + The biggest thing in this release (and I do mean that literally) is that + uClibc now has full ANSI/ISO C99 locale support. Well, except for + wcsftime() and collating items in regex, which are not done yet. Adding + support for the default set of locales (169 UTF-8 locales and 144 locales + using other codesets) will enlarge uClibc by around 300k. Still, if you + need locale support, that is still much better than the roughly 30MB the + comparable set of locale date occupies with glibc. And you can of course + reduce the 300k by reducing the number of supported locales. + + <p> + + As usual, this release has many improvements, both large and small. At + this point, most applications that compile and work with glibc will also + compile and run with uClibc. Both Perl and Python pass all the tests in + their test suites (both with and without locale support enabled). We + invite you to grab a copy of the latest <a + href="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/"> Linux Test Project test suite</a> and + give uClibc some abuse. We are not yet perfect, but we are getting pretty + darn close. + + <p> + + This release is not binary compatible with earlier releases. Depending on + your configuration, you may actually still be binary compatible, but it + would be a good idea to recompile your applications when moving to the + uClibc 0.9.21 release. We are sorry about that, but we have never promised + to provide binary compatibility until we hit version 1.0. And even then, + if you change your uClibc configuration, you still still generally need to + recompile... + + <p> + + As usual, the + <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/Changelog">Changelog</a>, + <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/Changelog.full">detailed changelog</a>, + and <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/uClibc-0.9.21.tar.bz2">source code for this release</a> + are available <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/">here</a>. + + <p> + + Updated uClibc development systems using uClibc 0.9.21 will be made + available within a few days. + <p> + + + <p> <li> <b>30 June 2003, uClibc 0.9.20 Released</b> <br> |
