+ <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 marks a transition from a slow incubation phase to a more
+ methodical release cycle. For now one, there should be approximately one release
+ per month.
+ <p>
+ You can find the source code for this release
+ <a href="http://uclibc.org/downloads/">here</a>.

- <li> <b>26 November 2001, powerpc shared libraries fully working</b>
- <br>
- Dave Schleef finished off the the work needed for shared library support on
- powerpc. There had been a few problems remaining, and those are now squashed.
- So shared libs on powerpc should be working fully now.
-
- <p>
- <li> <b>14 November 2001, m68 compiles again, Large file support working</b>
- <br>
- About a month ago I synced the header files with glibc 2.2.4 for better
- C++ support and better standards compliance. I forgot to sync up m68k,
- sparc, powerpc, and mipsel. Dave Schleef fixed powerpc while he was fixing
- up the shared lib loader. I just fixed up m68k, sparc, and mipsel so they
- should all compile again.
- <p>
- I also finished up fixing large file support (just enable DOLFS in your
- Config file to enable it) and it is working just great, and greatly increases
- the number of glibc applications that will work "out-of-the-tarball" without
- needing any changes.
-
-
- <li> <b>12 November 2001, powerpc shared lib support</b>
- <br>
- Thanks to David Schleef, uClibc now has full shared library support
- on powerpc. This brings full shared library support to x86, ARM, and
- now powerpc. Thanks Dave!
-
-
- <p>
- <li> <b>7 November 2001, uClibc application list</b>
- <br>
- uClibc now has a <a href="http://uclibc.org/uClibc-apps.html">list of applications</a>
- that are known to work. If you have any applications to add to the
- list, submissions are welcome!
-
-
- <p>
- <li> <b>18 October 2001, buildroot uClibc example system</b>
- <br>
-
- Those wanting an easy way to test out uClibc and give it
- a test drive can download and compile
- <a href="ftp://uclibc.org/buildroot.tar.gz">buildroot.tar.gz</a>. This
- is a nifty buildsystem that will automagically download and build
- a <a href="http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/">User-Mode Linux</a>
- kernel, and will then download source for and compile up a fully
- working uClibc based root filesystem. This should make it easy for
- people to create their own projects. I hope that this build system
- will allow people to more easily use and build uClibc based systems.
- As an example of how nicely this works, the
- <a href="http://tuxscreen.net/">Tuxscreen Project</a> is using a
- <a href="http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tuxscreen/buildroot-tux/">slightly adjusted variant of the buildroot system</a> to cross
- compile the blob bootloader, linux kernel, and a uClibc based jffs2
- root filesystem (busybox, tinylogin, udhcp, lrzsz, pcmcia-cs and
- microwindows) for ARM. Pretty cool.

- <li> <b>11 October 2001, v850 architecture support</b>
- <br>
-
- Miles Bader has contributed support for the v850 architecture.
-
-
- <p>
- <li> <b>25 Spetember 2001, header files updated</b>
- <br>
-
- uClibc's header files are now in sync with glibc 2.2.4,
- allowing better standards compliance, better portibility, and
- better C++ support.
-
- <p>
- <li> <b>4 July 2001, ARM shared library support</b>
- <br>
-
- uClibc now has full shared library support on ARM.
-
-
- <p>
- <li> <b>9 May 2001, libm added</b>
- <br>
-
- uClibc now has a very complete math library.
-
-
- <p>
- <p> <li> <b>9 May 2001, ld.so added</b>
- <br>
-
- uClibc now has a native ld.so. It currently is only ported to work on x86,
- but porting to other architectures should not be too difficult.
-
-
- <p> <li> <b>15 March 2001, powerpc port added</b>
- <br>
-
- David Schleef contributed a powerpc port, which is now in CVS.
-
- <p> <li> <b>19 February 2001, SH port added</b>
- <br>
-
- Jean-Yves Avenard contributed an SH port. See his email
- with the initial patch <a href="http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2001-February/000409.html">here</a>.
-
- <p> <li> <b>16 January 2001, uClibc as a shared library</b>
- <br>
-
- As if January 16, uClibc can now be used (at least on x86) as a shared
- library. See the <a href="http://uclibc.org/lists/uclibc/2001-January/000126.html">email</a>
- announcing this achievement.
-
- <p> <li> <b>11 January 2001, gcc wrapper added</b>
- <br>
-
- Manuel Novoa III has created a wrapper for gcc that makes compiling apps vs uClibc
- as simple as just setting "CC" to gcc-uClibc-&lt arch&gt. This even works when cross
- compiling! Very cool.
-
- <p> <li> <b>3 January 2001, uClibc now has a web page</b>
- <br>
-
- A lot of work has been going on under the hood with uClibc,
- so I decided to put together this webpage to let the world know
- that it exists and is getting to be very usable.
-
