2004-02-11	New stdio core. Should be more maintainable. Fixes a couple of bugs.	Manuel Novoa III
	Codepaths streamlined. Improved performance for nonthreaded apps when linked with a thread-enabled libc. Minor iconv bug and some locale/thread related startup issues fixed. These showed up in getting a gcj-compiled java helloworld app running. Removed some old extension functions... _stdio_fdout and _stdio_fsfopen.
2003-08-24	Fix a few bugs in the new extended locale functions.	Manuel Novoa III
	Move stub gettext functions to a stub libintl to make switching in gnu gettext easier. Also add a few gnu-isms. Change to using hidden names with global weak aliases for the extended locale functions, as expected by libstd++. Slightly rework the locale data generation stuff to allow pregenerated locale data to be used with buildroot.
2003-08-01	Add a new scanf implementation, includeing the wscanf functions.	Manuel Novoa III
	Should be standards compliant and with several optional features, including support for hexadecimal float notation, locale awareness, glibc-like locale-specific digit grouping with the `'' flag, and positional arg support. I tested it pretty well (finding several bugs in glibc's scanf in the process), but it is brand new so be aware. The wprintf functions now support floating point output. Also, a couple of bugs were squashed. Finally, %a/%A conversions are now implemented. Implement the glibc xlocale interface for thread-specific locale support. Also add the various _l(args, locale_t loc_arg) funcs. NOTE!!! setlocale() is NOT threadsafe! NOTE!!! The strto{floating point} conversion functions are now locale aware. The also now support hexadecimal floating point notation. Add the wcsto{floating point} conversion functions. Fix a bug in mktime() related to dst. Note that unlike glibc's mktime, uClibc's version always normalizes the struct tm before attempting to determine the correct dst setting if tm_isdst == -1 on entry. Add a stub version of the libintl functions. (untested) Fixed a known memory leak in setlocale() related to the collation data. Add lots of new config options (which Erik agreed to sort out :-), including finally exposing some of the stripped down stdio configs. Be careful with those though, as they haven't been tested in a long time. (temporary) GOTCHAs... The ctype functions are currently incorrect for 8-bit locales. They will be fixed shortly. The ctype functions are now table-based, resulting in larger staticly linked binaries. I'll be adding an option to use the old approach in the stub locale configuration.
2002-11-22	Ok... here's the summary:	Manuel Novoa III
	Hopefully locale support will build when cross compiling now. Collation is still not supported, but that's what I'm currently working on. In the next couple of days, I'll probably put up a couple of files for download that will save people the trouble of generating all the glibc locales. Added wprintf functions, although they currently don't support floating point. That will be fixed when I rewrite _dtostr... or possibly before. Added the wcsto{inttype} functions. Added iconv() and a mini iconv utility. The require locale support and only provide for conversions involving the various unicode encodings { UCS-4, UCS-2, UTF-32, UTF-16*, UTF-8 }, the 8-bit codesets built with the locale data, and the internal WCHAR_T.
2002-10-29	Fix a couple of 'restrict' bugs in mbstowcs and wcstombs.	Manuel Novoa III

2002-09-19	Hide my personal #warning reminders. Add __wcschrnul, rename strchrnul	Manuel Novoa III
	to __strchrnul, and add weak aliases for them.
2002-08-12	Revert commit by davidm to printf.c that initialized conv_num	Manuel Novoa III
	needlessly. To do so increases the generated code size with bcc. Eliminate duplicate define warnings in wstring.c. Fix potentially broken preprocessor comparisons. The preprocessor converts integers to maximal signed type, so inequality comparisons involving UINTMAX_MAX, ULLONG_MAX, and (if no long long) ULONG_MAX were potentially broken.
2002-07-03	Enable WCHAR support for C/POSIX stub locales.	Manuel Novoa III
	Implemented unformatted wide i/o functions. (ungetwc still needs testing) Fix a few bugs in wchar.c. Modifications for bcc/elks support.
2002-05-23	Multibyte and wide char conversion functions. Some work still to do, but	Manuel Novoa III
	they're quite solid now and Erik needs them for the gcc port. Comments at the head of wchar.c.
2002-05-12	Revert Erik's previous patch and fix what I believe he was trying to, while	Manuel Novoa III
	preserving the space-saving aliases.
2002-05-12	Several bugfixes for problems that showed up on alpha	Eric Andersen
	-Erik
2002-05-06	New locale support (in development). Supports LC_CTYPE, LC_NUMERIC,	Manuel Novoa III
	LC_TIME, LC_MONETARY, and LC_MESSAGES for the SUSv3 items. Also, nl_langinfo() when real locale support is enabled. New implementation of ctype.h. New implementation of wctype.h. New implementation of most of the string functions (smaller). New implementation of the wcs/wmem functions. These are untested, but they're also just preprocessor-modified versions ot the corresponding str/mem functions. Tweaked qsort and new bsearch. Stuff still pending: stdlib.h and wchar.h mb<->wc functions. I actually have working versions of the stdlib ones, but the reentrant versions from wchar.h require some reworking. Basic replacement and translit support for wc->mb conversions. (groundwork laid). Simple-minded collate support such as was provided by the previous locale implementation. (mostly done -- 8-bit codesets only) Shared mmaping of the locale data and strerror message text.
2002-03-13	New versions of the various string to int functions which are smaller	Manuel Novoa III
	than the old ones, even with errno setting turned on now. Also, at least on i386, we no longer need the long long helper functions for division and mod from libgcc.a.
