- <li> <b>13 November 2003, uClibc 0.9.23 Released</b>
- <br>
- CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
- uClibc 0.9.23. Of course, we are somewhat less than pleased that there
- were configuration problems in the previous release that made such it
- necessary to release .23 so quickly. Updated uClibc development systems
- using uClibc 0.9.23 are being built and will be posted shortly. And Erik
- has built Debian stable (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great.
- <p>
-
- This release continues to be binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and
- 0.9.22 -- as long as you pick compatible configuration options. Enabling
- or disabling things like soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing
- cpu optimizations are all good examples of binary incompatible
- configuration options. If have changed any of those sorts of options (or
- if you are not sure!) you will need to recompile all your applications and
- libraries.

- <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/Changelog.full">detailed changelog</a>,
- and <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/uClibc-0.9.23.tar.bz2">source code for this release</a>
- are available <a href="http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/">here</a>.

- <li> <b>8 November 2003, uClibc 0.9.22 Released</b>
- <br>
- CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
- uClibc 0.9.22. This release has been cooking for a couple of months now
- and is looking quite solid. We have done quite a lot of testing with this
- release and things are looking good. And Erik has built Debian stable
- (woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great. Expect that to be released
- in the next few days.

- changed any of those sorts of options (or if you are not sure!) you will

- <p>
- Updated uClibc development systems using uClibc 0.9.22 will be made
- available within a few days. Meanwhile, we invite you to try out uClibc
- with the latest <a href="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/">Linux Test Project
- test suite</a> (you will need to apply a small <a
- href="http://www.uclibc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/sources/ltp-testsuite.patch?rev=1.3">patch</a>.
- And also give the latest Perl and Python test suites a try as well.
- If you find any bugs in uClibc, PLEASE let us know!

- <li> <b>30 September 2003, dev systems updated to uClibc 0.9.21+</b>
- <br>
- The uClibc development systems for
- <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_i386.bz2">i386</a>,
- <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_powerpc.bz2">powerpc</a>,
- <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_arm.bz2">arm</a>,
- <a href="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/uclibc/root_fs_mipsel.bz2">mips</a>,
- have been updated to uClibc 0.9.21 (plus all the CVS updates up to
- today). Several problems have been fixed up,
- gcc has been updated to version 3.3.1, binutils was updated to 2.14.90.0.6, and
- <em>tada</em> everything finally works for cross compiling. These were
- all cross compiled (which really makes things faster since the older
- mipsel releases used to take 2 days to build!)
- <p>
- These are ~100 MB ext2 filesystems that run natively on the specified
- architecture. They contains all the development software you need to build
- your own uClibc applications, including bash, coreutils, findutils,
- diffutils, patch, sed, ed, flex, bison, file, gawk, tar, grep gdb, strace,
- make, gcc, g++, autoconf, automake, ncurses, zlib, openssl, openssh perl,
- and more. And of course, everything is dynamically linked against uClibc.
- By using a uClibc only system, you can avoid all the painful
- cross-configuration problems that have made using uClibc somewhat painful
- in the past. If you want to quickly get started with testing or using
- uClibc you should give these images a try. You can loop mount and them
- you can chroot into them, you can boot into with using user-mode Linux,
- and you can even 'dd' them to a spare partition and use resize2fs to make
- them fill the drive. Whatever works for you.
- <p> If you would like to build your own custom uClibc system, you can
- use <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">buildroot</a>, which is
- how these uClibc development systems were created.
