0.9.12 20 June 2002
Release highlights:
o Add full shared library support for mips (big and little
endian), thanks to a lot of hard work from Steven J. Hill
o i960 architecture support, thanks to Martin Proulx
o An initial alpha port (works, but needs some cleanup)
o Fixes shared library support for powerpc
o Fixes for mmu-less systems
o Much improved thread locking and reentrance.
o More gcc wrapper updates. XFree86 really does link
this time around. It still didn't last time.
o Libcrypt now passes conformance tests
o Nearly complete locale supporti thanks to a lot
of hard work by Manuel Novoa III. This stuff is
_way_ smaller than glibc's
o Completely new time handling functions also by Manuel
o Lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.
See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.

Erik Andersen:
0.9.11 10 April 2002
Release highlights:
o Lots of bug fixes
o Much better large file support
o Several gcc wrapper bug fixes, so things like iproute2 and
XFree86 should now link properly.
o Fixes a stdio thread locking bug that could cause random
deadlocks on s*printf calls when threading was enabled.
Erik Andersen:
o Added a generic implementation of truncate64.c and ftruncate64.c
o Added missing creat64, glob64, mkstemp64, getrlimit64, setrlimit64
o Removed internal erroneous use of __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
o Made libpthread compile on sparc and powerpc
o Made libpthread soname and symlinks match the other libraries.
o Added finite() to the C89 math lib, since some math functions use it.
o Added missing function pointer to error.c (some apps wanted it)
o Fixed initfini build for arches where gcc tries to be sneaky
o Fixed m68k/bits/setjmp.h which I has broken in the last release.
o Fixed a buffer overflow in the dynamic library loader
o Fixed a stdio thread locking bug that could cause random
deadlocks on s*printf calls when threading was enabled.
o Implemented sqrtf(), needed for libstdc++ on arm
Miles Bader:
o Make clean fixes to not blindly wipe all symlinks
o Re-enabled clnt_perror()
o Re-implemented swab()
Dwayne Fontenot:
o Many updates to the uClibc Working Application List
Steven J. Hill:
o Many updates to the mips dynamic loader. Not yet working but
getting very close now.
o Fixed locking bug in getttyent()
o Support libpthread on mips
Richard June:
o Fixed several bugs in utmp code (pututline was only writing the
first sizeof-a-pointer bytes to the utmpfile).
o setutent() was only opening utmp readonly.
m4@brecis.COM:
o Fixed a silly typing problem with the getuid syscall.
Manuel Novoa III:
o Fixed stdio FILE read/write auto-transition bugs.
o Better stdio errno handling
o Changed setvbuf() to more closely match glibc's behavior
o Fixed getpass() to not echo passwords to the console
o Fixed locale ISblank flag.
o Fixed an arg promotion handling bug in _do_one_spec for %c reported
by Ilguiz Latypov.
Kensuke Otake:
o Implemented swab()
Yoshinori Sato:
o Fixed h8300 architecture support for pthreads and changes to
the include files
David Schleef:
o Made powerpc assembly code PIC-compatible
o Removed powerpc R_PPC_REL24 handling, since it was deceptively useless.
John Traill:
o Several types on powerpc, such as dev_t, are different than on other
architectures. John spotted this, which fixed a _ton_ of problems since
anything calling stat() was previously broken.
Jim Treadway:
o Eliminated use of alarm() from the DNS resolver by converting
it to use select instead (much cleaner).
0.9.10 21 March 2002
Major new features:
o pthreads support (derived from glibc 2.1.3's linuxthreads library)
by Stefan Soucek and Erik Andersen
o pthreads support for MMU-less systems, by Stefan Soucek
o Complete rewrite of all stdio functions for standards compliance,
small size, pthreads support, wide/narrow stream support, large
file support, unbuffered support, etc, etc by Manuel Novoa III
o gcc wrapper reworked by Erik Andersen. Now operated correctly in
all known cases, and now wraps g++ as well for C++ support.
o constructor/destructor support, for C++ by Erik Andersen.
o Eliminated duplicate include/bits header files, by Erik Andersen.
Now all common include/bits headers are grouped together.
Erik Andersen:
o Lots of changes and improvements to the shared library loader

o Fix ldso build for older arm cross compilers
Miles Bader:
o atexit cleanups
o fixed gcc wrapper handling of -M* options
o Fixed truncate64/ftruncate64 to restrict them to 64-bit systems,
since we can't be sure that the _syscall macros can cope with 64
bit args on 32 bit arches.
o Large File support on the v850
o Fixed v850 headers after Erik messed them up
o Eliminate include/features.h namespace pollution
M. R. Brown:
o Fixed pthread support for SH, and fixed SH vfork as well

Geoffrey Espin:
o Mips architecture cleanups. Now works perfectly
with busybox, vi, ash, etc...
o Merged in the random number support (rand, srand, etc) from glibc.
Thomas Fritzsche:

Steven J. Hill:
o Fixed build to support both mips and mipsel
o Beginnings of a mips ldso port
Andrew Ip:
o Support for gnu error() functions
David McCullough:
o Coldfire platform updates: clone, setjmp
o Fixed simple malloc to work on systems with an MMU
Manuel Novoa III:
o Rewrote all stdio functions for standards compliance, small size,
pthreads support, wide/narrow stream support, large file support,
unbuffered support, etc, etc, etc.
o Rewrote the various string to int functions to be smaller, more
standards compilant, and reduce dependance on libgcc.a.

o Check for proper 16-byte aliged stack pointer on powerpc
Stefan Soucek:
o pthreads support for MMU-less systems
o pthreads support (with Erik Andersen)
Brian Stafford:

additions so iptables now runs with IPV6 support.
0.9.9 February 4, 2002
Erik Andersen:
o A bunch of doc updates. Major update to the working
apps list.
o Added a configurator script (extra/Configs/uClibc_config_fix.pl)
which can simplify configuring uClibc.
o Fixed setjmp/longjmp on x86,arm,powerpc,mips,and sparc.
Hitting ^C in ash kills client apps now, not ash.
o Reworked signal handling code so it now passes POSIX
conformance tests.
o Fixed sleep and usleep to work correctly when
interrupted by signals.
o Made getopt behave the same when staticly linking
as when dynamicly linking. It was using different
implementations depending on how apps were linked.

host system
o Fix several cases where get-needed-libgcc-objects.sh
could fail, breaking the shared uClibc library.
o Include all shared library loader objects into a
single C file, thereby reducing its size further.
o Reworked the shared library linking process to be more
flexible so that gcc and ld can more easily be built to
target uClibc library.
o Better error checking in the Makefiles. Be more pedantic
about tar, chmod, etc to avoid system dependent failures.
o We can now autodetect the target architecture
o Hide references to wchar_t so GNU autoconf
configure scripts won't get confused and try to
enable wide char support.
o Fixed stdio.h so apps can use varargs.h if they want to.
o Added brk/sbrk support for ARM, powerpc, mips, and sparc
and set them to default to the much faster brk using malloc
o Added missing syscalls: get_kernel_syms, fcntl64,
fdatasync, sched_setparam, sched_getparam,
sched_setscheduler, sched_getscheduler,
sched_get_priority_max, sched_get_priority_min,
sched_rr_get_interval, sigaltstack, sendfile,
pivot_root, sigsuspend, setfsuid, and setfsgid
o Force DOPIC be true when HAVE_SHARED is true.
o Fixed hstrerror()
o Implemented gethostent(), sethostent(), and endhostent()
o Added arch specific support so that sparc and mips actually
compile and work
Miles Bader:
o Fixes for the v850 architecture: crt0, setjmp,
arch autodetection, etc.
o Fixed `make install' to not build ldso stuff on
non-shared-library systems.
Michael E Brown:
o Allow the gcc wrapper to support setting DEVEL_PREFIX
and BUILD_DIR at runtime (no more need to recompile).

o Fixed the SH port so it now works. Tested and shown
working on an SH4 Dreamcast system.
Kim Heino:
o Made 'make clean' remove generated bits/syscall.h

confused and use the wrong API.
o Added Config selectable shadow password support
Yoshinori Sato
o Contributed support for the Hitach H8/300H architecture
C�dric Schieli:
o Add support for inet_netof, inet_lnaof, inet_makeaddr
and hstrerror.

o Added libstrip, a nifty script to automagically
strip unneeded content from the uClibc shared
libraries.
Martin Sieper
o Added getw() and putw()
o Added missing header files -- lastlog.h, sgtty.h,
netipx/ipx.h, sys/perm.h
Stefan Soucek:
o Add rcmd support, i.e. rsh, rlogin, etc.
o Fix rcmd to avoid alloca, which is dangerous
on mmu-less systems
