  1. 0.9.31 not yet released
  2. Upgrade notices from previous versions.
  3. o On x86_64 the format of /var/run/utmp changed compared to previous
  4. versions. To retain compatibility with glibc we now define
  5. __WORDSIZE_COMPAT32. If you are certain that you will never use
  6. glibc nor run in i386 mode on your x86_64 installation, you can
  7. remove this definition from wordsize.h.
  8. Otherwise you have to delete /var/run/utmp on x86_64 hosts when
  9. upgrading to 0.9.31
  10. 0.9.27 12 January 2005
  11. This has been a long time in the making... Release highlights:
  12. o New stdio implementation
  13. o New optimized string functions
  14. o Major improvements to the shared lib loader
  15. o Shared libraries work properly on powerpc
  16. o Debugging works on mips
  17. o New architectures: frv, nios, nios2, bfin
  18. o Linux 2.6.x kernel support
  19. o Lots and lots of bug fixes
  20. This release is NOT binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.26 or any earlier
  21. release, so be prepared to recompile your software if you are still using
  22. an old version of uClibc.
  23. -Erik
  24. 0.9.26 3 January 2004
  25. This simply adds a fix for a pthread bug that was noticed a few hours
  26. after the previous release. Otherwise identical to 0.9.25.
  27. This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-25 as long as
  28. you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will break things.
  29. We _were_ planning to break binary compatibilty in this release, but
  30. decided to hold those changes so we could push out a bugfix release.
  31. We _will_ break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.27 release to
  32. implement a few things we have been postponing. That should hopefully be
  33. the last ABI change before we freeze the ABI for the upcoming 1.0.x
  34. stable uClibc series.
  35. Release highlights:
  36. o A trivial fix for a pthread bug
  37. o Nothing else
  38. -Erik
  39. 0.9.25 3 January 2004
  40. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  41. Note:
  42. This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-24 as long as
  43. you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will break things.
  44. We _were_ planning to break binary compatibilty in this release, but
  45. decided to hold those changes so we could push out a bugfix release.
  46. We _will_ break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.26 release to
  47. implement a few things we have been postponing. That should hopefully be
  48. the last ABI change before we freeze the ABI for the upcoming 1.0.x
  49. stable uClibc series.
  50. Release highlights:
  51. o Fixed a ton of problems found using the LTP and NIST test suites.
  52. The few remaining test failures are obscure corner cases, such as
  53. a few functions that fail (correctly) with incorrect errno values.
  54. o Fixed a longstanding pthreads bug -- amoung other things, you no
  55. longer need to explicitly add -lpthread for perl to work.
  56. o Added some sh optimized string functions
  57. o Added sh64 shared library support
  58. o The default malloc implementation has been replaced, and will
  59. now actually free memory when told to do so.
  60. o Both popen() and exec*() now behave themselves per SuSv3
  61. o Better 2.6.x kernel header support
  62. o Added support for Position Independent Executables (PIE) on x86
  63. o Lots of other minor cleanups
  64. -Erik
  65. 0.9.24 15 December 2003
  66. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  67. Note:
  68. This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-23 as
  69. long as you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will
  70. break things.
  71. We currently plan to break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.25 to
  72. implement a few things we have been postponing, which will hopefully be
  73. the last change....
  74. Release highlights:
  75. o Fixed several silly configuration problems
  76. o Added arm optimized string functions
  77. o Lots of minor cleanups
  78. -Erik
  79. 0.9.23 13 November 2003
  80. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  81. Note:
  82. This release is binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and 0.9.22 as
  83. long as you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will
  84. break things. Enabling or disabling things like soft-float,
  85. locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu type are all good
  86. examples of things that will break binary compatibility.
  87. Release highlights:
  88. o Fixed several silly configuration problems that were
  89. present in the 0.9.22 release.
  90. o Fixed compilation problem with soft-float support on
  91. several architectures.
  92. o Lots of cleanup work on the powepc shared lib loader
  93. thanks to Joakim Tjernlund.
  94. o Updated the debian packaging for use in a standalone uClibc
  95. system, rather than being a subordinate library under a
  96. glibc based system.
  97. -Erik
  98. 0.9.22 8 November 2003
  99. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  100. Note:
  101. This release is binary compatible with the 0.9.21 release
  102. if you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that
  103. might break things for you (i.e. enabling or disabling things
  104. like soft-float, locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu
  105. type are all good examples of binary incompatible config options).
  106. Release highlights:
  107. o Added e1, microblaze, and sh64 architectures.
  108. o Much improved soft-float support
  109. o Rewrote the passwd and group handing functions
  110. and implemented all SuSv3 required reentrant
  111. versions.
  112. o Reworked and updated the Config system. You now
  113. get to select your target architecture with the
  114. config system.
  115. o Fixed pthreads for mmuless m68k systems
  116. o Added some x86 optimized string functions.
  117. o Lots and lots of bugs fixed.
  118. -Erik
  119. 0.9.21 9 September 2003
  120. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  121. Note:
  122. This release is not binary compatible with earlier releases.
  123. Sorry about that. We have never promised to provide binary
  124. compatibility until we hit version 1.0, and even then, if
  125. you change your configuration.
  126. Release highlights:
  127. o uClibc now has full ANSI/ISO C99 locale support (except
  128. for wcsftime() and collating items in regex).
  129. o Added support for using pre-generated locale data, making
  130. it easy for mere mortals to use uClibc w/locale support.
  131. o Lots of new tuning options added to trade size
  132. for features, allowing for smaller static binaries.
  133. o The "dlopen()'ing libraries that depend on libraries"
  134. problem was fixed.
  135. o A new scanf implementation. Well tested, but
  136. brand new so watch for obscure bugs...
  137. o Reworked and updated the Config system, adding several
  138. nice new features which we now use.
  139. o Lots and lots of sundry bug fixes and cleanups.
  140. -Erik
  141. 0.9.20 30 June 2003
  142. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  143. Note:
  144. This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 and 0.9.19.
  145. Release highlights:
  146. o Some ldd, profiling, and gcc wrapper updates
  147. o Updated to support and compile with gcc 3.3
  148. o Several needed mips updates
  149. o Building under cygwin should now work...
  150. o Prevent non-PIC code getting into PIC libs
  151. o Added mmap64 support
  152. o mmu-less systems now get a 16k default thread stack size
  153. which is much more sane than the old 2 MB default...
  154. o Implemented syscall() for powerpc
  155. o Optionally struct tm extension support
  156. o Lots of other sundry little fixes and cleanups.
  157. o Prevent buffer overflows in the passwd and group functions.
  158. -Erik
  159. 0.9.19 3 March 2003
  160. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  161. Note:
  162. This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 (except
  163. for mips, but then mips was unusable in stock 0.9.18 anyways).
  164. Release highlights:
  165. Stefan Allius
  166. o Some Makefile and warning fixes
  167. David Airlie
  168. o Fixed gcc wrapper handling of ctor/dtor stuff when used in
  169. with and w/o the nostdinc and nostdlib options
  170. Erik Andersen
  171. o Fixed a number of system call kernel type/user type translation
  172. problems that scrambled a handful of system calls.
  173. o Fixup powerpc syscalls to eliminate warnings with gcc-3.2
  174. o Fixed several ioctl special cases for powerpc
  175. o Checked in forgotten mips kernel_types.h changes
  176. o Fixed mips shared library loader bug that caused segfaults
  177. o Major update to the pthreads library. Should improve performance.
  178. o Fixed uClibc's shared library loader so we can properly debug
  179. applications using pthreads (must use gdb 5.3 or newer which
  180. was compiled using uClibc).
  181. o Made uClibc's ldd act just the glibc provided one (i.e. relying
  182. on the shared lib loader to do the work) when it is possible to
  183. doi so, and only rummage about the ELF headers when we have no
  184. other choice (such as when using 'ldd' on cross compiled stuff).
  185. Miles Bader
  186. o header file updates for v850 architecture
  187. o Fixed v850 crt0.S __uClibc_main argument stack space
  188. Jeffrey Damick
  189. o Fixed res_init() so it properly reloads /etc/resolv.conf
  190. Vadim Lebedev
  191. o Fixed ARM setjmp when floating point was disabled
  192. David McCullough
  193. o Removed debug (-g) when building crti.o and crtn.o, as
  194. debug would mess up the build for SH4 and probably others.
  195. o Fixed SH setjmp when floating point was enabled
  196. -Erik
  197. 0.9.18 12 February 2003
  198. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  199. Note:
  200. Once again, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with earlier
  201. releases. I _think this will be the last time (with the possible
  202. exception of some future changes to our locale support...)
  203. Release highlights:
  204. Stefan Allius
  205. o fixed a compile problem when large file support was disabled
  206. o fixed dlib_pic.o to compile with proper flags
  207. o fixed a shared lib loader compile warning
  208. o Made adding libgcc functions to uClibc optional
  209. Erik Andersen
  210. o Fixed scandir64 to not free the wrong pieces of memory
  211. which caused segfaults
  212. o Fixed mismatches between kernel and libc dirent structures
  213. o Fixed mismatches between the size of uClibc's struct dirent
  214. and struct dirent64 so that when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 we
  215. do not lose part of the filename
  216. o Fixed getdents64.c so the build will not break when compiling
  217. vs a 2.0.x Linux kernel when UCLIBC_HAS_LFS is enabled
  218. o Create stub crti.o and crtn.o files when UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR is disabled
  219. o Fixed licenses for a few files that erroneously were listed as GPL
  220. but were really LGPL after discussing with authors
  221. o sigaction for x86 had an extra and unwanted sigaction syscall
  222. o Fixed debugging of arm binaries by adding a .note.ABI-tag section
  223. Miles Bader
  224. o header file updates for v850 architecture
  225. o Fixed v850 clone syscall
  226. Christian Krause
  227. o Fixed pthread_cond_timedwait to properly uses rt singals
  228. when available
  229. Christophe Massiot
  230. o Added mips _flush_cache syscall
  231. David McCullough
  232. o Added m68k brk syscall
  233. Marshall M. Midden
  234. o Fixed pipe implementation for mips
  235. -Erik
  236. 0.9.17 25 January 2003
  237. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  238. Note:
  239. I have always reserved the right to make binary incompatible changes as
  240. needed prior to the "1.0" release. This release is a good example of
  241. that. A few bugs turned up that needed to be fixed and the only good way
  242. to fix them was to change some fundamental data structure sizes. So I did
  243. just that. As a result, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with
  244. earlier releases -- you will need to recompile your applications.
  245. Release highlights:
  246. Stefan Allius
  247. o fixed a number of shared library loader bugs
  248. o setjmp, longjmp, clone, and vfork cleanups for the SH architecture
  249. o Don't build the config system with ncurses unless asked to
  250. Tobias Anderberg
  251. o cris architecture updates
  252. Erik Andersen
  253. o Changed 'struct stat' and 'struct stat64' so they use types that
  254. are consistant with use elsewhere in the library. Without this,
  255. subtle bugs would occur due to comparing signed and unsigned
  256. types (for example, GNU tar wouldn't work)
  257. o Fixed dlopen so it works with staticly linked apps
  258. o Fixed sigaction on arm architecture so sa_restorer works properly
  259. o Fixed sigaction on x86 architecture for (fixed debugging threads)
  260. o Fixed a wide char related segfault in the regular expression code
  261. o Powerpc pread and pwrite are now implemented correctly
  262. o Powerpc syscall mechanism re-implemented
  263. o Sparc architecture and syscall mechanism fixed up so things compile
  264. o usershell reimplemented
  265. o Fixed global destructors for staticly linked applications
  266. o Added dynamic atexit support (needed for full C++ ctor/dtor support)
  267. o The ldd utility now acts more like the GNU utility
  268. o Added a stub libnsl library to make stupid configure scripts bahave
  269. o Always build crt1.o as well as crt0.o to minimize the need to mess
  270. with the compiler
  271. o Rewrote powerpc crt0.S to properly handle ctors/dtors
  272. o Removed unimplemented and legacy stuff from our header files to
  273. make configure behave better
  274. o Made the lib loader also support libs in /usr/X11R6/lib by default
  275. o Config system updates
  276. o networking function updates
  277. o Large file support updates
  278. o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
  279. Nick Fedchik
  280. o Support ether_aton
  281. Nathan Field
  282. o Fixed pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_unlock so they
  283. actually work as advertised on mips
  284. o Fixed several nasty pthread bugs fixing debugging
  285. Brett Hunt
  286. o Fixed potential segfaults during 'make menuconfig'
  287. Jay Kulpinski
  288. o Fixed a subtle problem in the DNS resolver that prevented
  289. uncompressed DNS lookup responses from working
  290. David McCullough
  291. o Fixed pclose error handling
  292. David Meggy
  293. o fixed the problem where arm binaries would crash on start
  294. that Erik stupidly caused right before the last release.
  295. Manuel Novoa III
  296. o Major locale support update!
  297. o Allow people to use pregenerated locale data instead of generating
  298. approx 40Mb of glibc locales to get the 300+ locales currently
  299. supported.
  300. o locale dependent collation support
  301. o Fixed locale support tools to work when cross-compiling
  302. o Added the *wprintf functions
  303. o Added the wcsto{inttype} functions
  304. o Added iconv() and a mini iconv utility
  305. o Added hsearch and hsearch_r
  306. o Fixed a silly bug allowing wprintf %s to work correctly.
  307. o Fixed fdopen when used with "a" (append).
  308. o Fixed stdio file position handing to be sure fell() always
  309. gives correct results
  310. Luc Van Oostenryck
  311. o Fixed a buffer overflow in getlogin_r
  312. Yoshinori Sato
  313. o Hitachi h8300 architecture update
  314. Ronald Wahl
  315. o Powerpc shared library relocation fixes
  316. -Erik
  317. 0.9.16 8 November 2002

  319. Release highlights:
  320. o CRIS architecture and shared library support from Tobias Anderberg
  321. o New uClibc configuration system
  322. o shared library global constructors and destructors initialization
  323. ordering fixed by Stefan Allius
  324. o More SuperH architecture fixes from Stefan Allius
  325. o uClibc now compiles with newer versions of gcc (i.e. RedHat 8.0)
  326. o uClibc no longer requires perl to compile
  327. o mips dlopen was fixed by Steven J. Hill
  328. o pty and tty handling fixes

  334. 0.9.15 27 August 2002
  335. This is a minor bugfix release.
  336. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  337. Release highlights:
  338. o Eliminated the HAS_LONG_LONG option. gcc always supports
  339. long long, and the option never excluded all long long anyways.
  340. o ctype.h no longer allows multiple argument evaluation in
  341. compliance with ANSI/ISO C99
  342. o Obscure printf fixes -- one involving %o and one involving %f.
  343. o Bugfixes for locking and reentrance in password/group functions
  344. o Directly use kernel types for most items, eliminating needless
  345. translation and fixing several bugs.
  346. o Directly use kernel struct stat -- no more translating
  347. o More superH (sh) architecture merging from Stefan Allius
  348. o Errno values and strerror are now correct on alpha, sparc, and mips
  349. o Fixed an obscure bug with fclose when custom streams are enabled.
  350. o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
  351. -Erik
  352. 0.9.14 12 August 2002
  353. This is a minor bugfix release.
  354. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  355. Release highlights:
  356. o Fix a compile error when RPC and Pthread support
  357. were both enabled.
  358. o Eliminate duplicate define warnings in wstring.c.
  359. o Fix potentially broken preprocessor comparisons.
  360. o Erik was an idiot and broke thread locking in exit(),
  361. atexit() and friends. Fix that.
  362. o Fix the gcc wrapper to use crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o when
  363. compiling PIC code (crtbegin.o and crtend.o) otherwise.
  364. -Erik
  365. 0.9.13 9 August 2002
  366. Security Fixes
  367. o There was an off-by-one buffer overflow in the group
  368. handling code, fix thanks to Joseph Chiu.
  369. o There was an integer overflow bug in calloc, per
  370. http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5398
  371. o There was an integer overflow bug in the xdr_array
  372. RPC code, per http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5356
  373. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  374. Release highlights:
  375. o Add full shared library support for Hitachi SuperH (sh)
  376. thanks to Stefan Allius and Edie C. Dost
  377. o Lots of reentrance cleanups (we should now be fully
  378. reentrant when compiled with pthread support).
  379. o Miles Bader implemented a new mmap based malloc which is much
  380. smarter than the old "malloc-simple", and actually works, unlike
  381. the old "malloc". This is now the default for mmu-less systems
  382. and should greatly help reduce memory fragmentation and wastage.
  383. o Reworked syscall handling for i386 and ARM, smaller and cleaner.
  384. o Support for the syscall() function on i386 and ARM
  385. o The uClibc g++ wrapper now automagically adds the proper include
  386. search path and and libraries.
  387. o Lots of shared library loader updates
  388. o dlopen'd shred libraries not properly run destructors
  389. when ctor/dtor support is enabled
  390. o pread/pwrite/pread64/pwrite64 now all work as expected
  391. o Lots and lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.
  392. -Erik

  398. o i960 architecture support, thanks to Martin Proulx
  399. o An initial alpha port (works, but needs some cleanup)
  400. o Fixes shared library support for powerpc
  401. o Fixes for mmu-less systems
  402. o Much improved thread locking and reentrance.

  405. o Libcrypt now passes conformance tests
  406. o Nearly complete locale supporti thanks to a lot
  407. of hard work by Manuel Novoa III. This stuff is
  408. _way_ smaller than glibc's
  409. o Completely new time handling functions also by Manuel
  410. o Lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.
  411. -Erik

  471. anything calling stat() was previously broken.
  472. Jim Treadway:
  473. o Eliminated use of alarm() from the DNS resolver by converting

  581. flexible so that gcc and ld can more easily be built to
  582. target uClibc library.
  583. o Better error checking in the Makefiles. Be more pedantic
  584. about tar, chmod, etc to avoid system dependent failures.
  585. o We can now autodetect the target architecture
  586. o Hide references to wchar_t so GNU autoconf
  587. configure scripts won't get confused and try to
