|

- <br>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
|
|
|
- uClibc 0.9.17. The biggest piece of news with this release, thanks to
|
|
|
- Manuel Novoa's continuing hard work, is that we now have fully standards
|
|
|
- compliant locale support (optional of course). The support works nicely,
|
|
|
- (though configuring the locales you wish to support is still manual -- a
|
|
|
- task for the next release). Full locale data for over 300 locales adds
|
|
|
- approximately 250k. The collation data for all supported locales is
|
|
|
- roughly 180k. This may seem rather large to some -- but it is much smaller
|
|
|
- than the approximately 40 MB needed by Glibc to provide the same data. And
|
|
|
- if you don't need it, you can either disable locale support entirely, or
|
|
|
- enable a smaller set of locales.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This release also fixes <em>lots and lots</em> of bugs. The arm
|
|
|
- architecture support (I am embarrassed to note) was totally broken in the
|
|
|
- last release, but is now working as expected. A security problem (a
|
|
|
- buffer overflow in getlogin_r) was fixed. And there were architecture
|
|
|
- updates across the board (x86, arm, powerpc, cris, h8300, sparc, and mips).
|
|
|
- And of course, this release includes the usual pile of bug fixes. Many
|
|
|
- thanks for the large number of patches and fixes that were contributed!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- <p>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Unfortunately, this release is not binary compatible with earlier uClibc
|
|
|
- releases. As noted as item 3 <a href="downloads/Glibc_vs_uClibc_Differences.txt">here</a>,
|
|
|
- uClibc does not (yet) attempt to
|
|
|
- ensure binary compatibility across releases. We will eventually do that
|
|
|
- (once we reach the "1.0" release) but not yet. A few bugs turned up that
|
|
|
- needed to be fixed, and the only good way to fix them was to change some
|
|
|
- fundamental data structure sizes. As a result, this release is _NOT_
|
|
|
- binary compatible with earlier releases -- you will need to recompile your
|
|
|
- applications. The x86, arm, powerpc, and mips architectures (i.e. the
|
|
|
- systems Erik has available in his office for testing) have been tested and
|
|
|
- are known to work following this change. Other architectures <em>may</em>
|
|
|
- need additional updates. Sorry about that, but it had to be done.
