     CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
     uClibc 0.9.12. This release adds an i960 port, an initial alpha port,
-    fullly working shared library support for mips, fixes for shared libraries
-    on powerpc, as well as many other improvements and bug fixes.   
+    fullly working mips shared library support, shared library support fixes
+    for on powerpc, and many other improvements.  One very exciting new feature
+    is nearly complete locale support, thanks to a lot of hard work by Manuel
+    Novoa III.  uClibc's locale support is <em>much</em> smaller than glibc's,
+    though it is also slightly less flexible.  This release was delayed by a
+    month due to the arrival of a new baby at Erik's house.  For those that
+    have been anxiously waiting, this release should certainly be worth the
+    wait.  Have fun!
