This is primarily a bug-fix release. This release remains + binary compatible with 0.9.18 and 0.9.19 (as long as you leave the + new UCLIBC_HAS_TM_EXTENSIONS option disabled), so you don't have to recompile + everything if you don't really feel like it. + <p> + + This release has many small improvements. At this point, most applications + that compile and work with glibc will also compile and run with uClibc. + Perl and Python even pass all the tests in their test suites. + <p> + + There is currently one notable exception. Applications that use dlopen() + to load libraries that themselves depend on other libraries, may have weak + symbols within those depended-upon libraries resolved incorrectly. This + problem is currently being worked on. Other than that, everything seems + to now be working as expected.... + + <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-0.9.20.tar.bz2">source code for this release</a> + are available <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/">here</a>. + <p> + + + <p> + <li> <b>30 June 2003, dev systems updated to uClibc 0.9.20</b> + <br> + + The uClibc development systems for + <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-i386.bz2">i386</a>, + <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-powerpc.bz2">powerpc</a>, + <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-arm.bz2">arm</a>, + <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/root_fs-mipsel.bz2">mips</a>, + have been updated to uClibc 0.9.20. Several problems have been fixed up, + gcc has been updated to version 3.3, and Perl 5.8.0 is now included. + <p> + + This is a 150 MB ext2 filesystem that runs natively on the specified + architecture. It contains all the development software you need to build + your own uClibc applications, including bash, coreutils, findutils, + diffutils, patch, sed, ed, flex, bison, file, gawk, tar, grep gdb, strace, + make, gcc, g++, autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh perl, + and more. And of course, everything is dynamically linked against uClibc. By + using a uClibc only system, you can avoid all the painful + cross-configuration problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful + in the past. If you want to quickly get started with testing or using + uClibc you should give these images a try. You can loop mount and then + chroot into them, you can boot into them using user-mode Linux, and you can + even 'dd' them to a spare partition and use resize2fs to make them fill the + drive. Whatever works for you. + + <p> If you would like to build your own custom uClibc system, you can + use <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a>, which is + how the uClibc development systems were created. + <p> + + + <p> <li> <b>6 March 2003, development system updates</b> <br> |
