  1. 0.9.24 8 December 2003
  2. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  3. Note:
  4. This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-23 as
  5. long as you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will
  6. break things.
  7. We currently plan to break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.25 to
  8. implement a few things we have been postponing, which will hopefully be
  9. the last change....
  10. Release highlights:
  11. o Fixed several silly configuration problems
  12. o Added arm optimized string functions
  13. o Lots of minor cleanups
  14. -Erik
  15. 0.9.23 13 November 2003
  16. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  17. Note:
  18. This release is binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and 0.9.22 as
  19. long as you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will
  20. break things. Enabling or disabling things like soft-float,
  21. locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu type are all good
  22. examples of things that will break binary compatibility.
  23. Release highlights:
  24. o Fixed several silly configuration problems that were
  25. present in the 0.9.22 release.
  26. o Fixed compilation problem with soft-float support on
  27. several architectures.
  28. o Lots of cleanup work on the powepc shared lib loader
  29. thanks to Joakim Tjernlund.
  30. o Updated the debian packaging for use in a standalone uClibc
  31. system, rather than being a subordinate library under a
  32. glibc based system.
  33. -Erik
  34. 0.9.22 8 November 2003
  35. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  36. Note:
  37. This release is binary compatible with the 0.9.21 release
  38. if you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that
  39. might break things for you (i.e. enabling or disabling things
  40. like soft-float, locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu
  41. type are all good examples of binary incompatible config options).
  42. Release highlights:
  43. o Added e1, microblaze, and sh64 architectures.
  44. o Much improved soft-float support
  45. o Rewrote the passwd and group handing functions
  46. and implemented all SuSv3 required reentrant
  47. versions.
  48. o Reworked and updated the Config system. You now
  49. get to select your target architecture with the
  50. config system.
  51. o Fixed pthreads for mmuless m68k systems
  52. o Added some x86 optimized string functions.
  53. o Lots and lots of bugs fixed.
  54. -Erik
  55. 0.9.21 9 September 2003
  56. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  57. Note:
  58. This release is not binary compatible with earlier releases.
  59. Sorry about that. We have never promised to provide binary
  60. compatibility until we hit version 1.0, and even then, if
  61. you change your configuration.
  62. Release highlights:
  63. o uClibc now has full ANSI/ISO C99 locale support (except
  64. for wcsftime() and collating items in regex).
  65. o Added support for using pre-generated locale data, making
  66. it easy for mere mortals to use uClibc w/locale support.
  67. o Lots of new tuning options added to trade size
  68. for features, allowing for smaller static binaries.
  69. o The "dlopen()'ing libraries that depend on libraries"
  70. problem was fixed.
  71. o A new scanf implementation. Well tested, but
  72. brand new so watch for obscure bugs...
  73. o Reworked and updated the Config system, adding several
  74. nice new features which we now use.
  75. o Lots and lots of sundry bug fixes and cleanups.
  76. -Erik
  77. 0.9.20 30 June 2003
  78. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  79. Note:
  80. This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 and 0.9.19.
  81. Release highlights:
  82. o Some ldd, profiling, and gcc wrapper updates
  83. o Updated to support and compile with gcc 3.3
  84. o Several needed mips updates
  85. o Building under cygwin should now work...
  86. o Prevent non-PIC code getting into PIC libs
  87. o Added mmap64 support
  88. o mmu-less systems now get a 16k default thread stack size
  89. which is much more sane than the old 2 MB default...
  90. o Implemented syscall() for powerpc
  91. o Optionally struct tm extension support
  92. o Lots of other sundry little fixes and cleanups.
  93. o Prevent buffer overflows in the passwd and group functions.
  94. -Erik
  95. 0.9.19 3 March 2003
  96. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  97. Note:
  98. This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 (except
  99. for mips, but then mips was unusable in stock 0.9.18 anyways).
  100. Release highlights:
  101. Stefan Allius
  102. o Some Makefile and warning fixes
  103. David Airlie
  104. o Fixed gcc wrapper handling of ctor/dtor stuff when used in
  105. with and w/o the nostdinc and nostdlib options
  106. Erik Andersen
  107. o Fixed a number of system call kernel type/user type translation
  108. problems that scrambled a handful of system calls.
  109. o Fixup powerpc syscalls to eliminate warnings with gcc-3.2
  110. o Fixed several ioctl special cases for powerpc
  111. o Checked in forgotten mips kernel_types.h changes
  112. o Fixed mips shared library loader bug that caused segfaults
  113. o Major update to the pthreads library. Should improve performance.
  114. o Fixed uClibc's shared library loader so we can properly debug
  115. applications using pthreads (must use gdb 5.3 or newer which
  116. was compiled using uClibc).
  117. o Made uClibc's ldd act just the glibc provided one (i.e. relying
  118. on the shared lib loader to do the work) when it is possible to
  119. doi so, and only rummage about the ELF headers when we have no
  120. other choice (such as when using 'ldd' on cross compiled stuff).
  121. Miles Bader
  122. o header file updates for v850 architecture
  123. o Fixed v850 crt0.S __uClibc_main argument stack space
  124. Jeffrey Damick
  125. o Fixed res_init() so it properly reloads /etc/resolv.conf
  126. Vadim Lebedev
  127. o Fixed ARM setjmp when floating point was disabled
  128. David McCullough
  129. o Removed debug (-g) when building crti.o and crtn.o, as
  130. debug would mess up the build for SH4 and probably others.
  131. o Fixed SH setjmp when floating point was enabled
  132. -Erik
  133. 0.9.18 12 February 2003
  134. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  135. Note:
  136. Once again, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with earlier
  137. releases. I _think this will be the last time (with the possible
  138. exception of some future changes to our locale support...)
  139. Release highlights:
  140. Stefan Allius
  141. o fixed a compile problem when large file support was disabled
  142. o fixed dlib_pic.o to compile with proper flags
  143. o fixed a shared lib loader compile warning
  144. o Made adding libgcc functions to uClibc optional
  145. Erik Andersen
  146. o Fixed scandir64 to not free the wrong pieces of memory
  147. which caused segfaults
  148. o Fixed mismatches between kernel and libc dirent structures
  149. o Fixed mismatches between the size of uClibc's struct dirent
  150. and struct dirent64 so that when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 we
  151. do not lose part of the filename
  152. o Fixed getdents64.c so the build will not break when compiling
  153. vs a 2.0.x Linux kernel when UCLIBC_HAS_LFS is enabled
  154. o Create stub crti.o and crtn.o files when UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR is disabled
  155. o Fixed licenses for a few files that erroneously were listed as GPL
  156. but were really LGPL after discussing with authors
  157. o sigaction for x86 had an extra and unwanted sigaction syscall
  158. o Fixed debugging of arm binaries by adding a .note.ABI-tag section
  159. Miles Bader
  160. o header file updates for v850 architecture
  161. o Fixed v850 clone syscall
  162. Christian Krause
  163. o Fixed pthread_cond_timedwait to properly uses rt singals
  164. when available
  165. Christophe Massiot
  166. o Added mips _flush_cache syscall
  167. David McCullough
  168. o Added m68k brk syscall
  169. Marshall M. Midden
  170. o Fixed pipe implementation for mips
  171. -Erik
  172. 0.9.17 25 January 2003
  173. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  174. Note:
  175. I have always reserved the right to make binary incompatible changes as
  176. needed prior to the "1.0" release. This release is a good example of
  177. that. A few bugs turned up that needed to be fixed and the only good way
  178. to fix them was to change some fundamental data structure sizes. So I did
  179. just that. As a result, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with
  180. earlier releases -- you will need to recompile your applications.
  181. Release highlights:
  182. Stefan Allius
  183. o fixed a number of shared library loader bugs
  184. o setjmp, longjmp, clone, and vfork cleanups for the SH architecture
  185. o Don't build the config system with ncurses unless asked to
  186. Tobias Anderberg
  187. o cris architecture updates
  188. Erik Andersen
  189. o Changed 'struct stat' and 'struct stat64' so they use types that
  190. are consistant with use elsewhere in the library. Without this,
  191. subtle bugs would occur due to comparing signed and unsigned
  192. types (for example, GNU tar wouldn't work)
  193. o Fixed dlopen so it works with staticly linked apps
  194. o Fixed sigaction on arm architecture so sa_restorer works properly
  195. o Fixed sigaction on x86 architecture for (fixed debugging threads)
  196. o Fixed a wide char related segfault in the regular expression code
  197. o Powerpc pread and pwrite are now implemented correctly
  198. o Powerpc syscall mechanism re-implemented
  199. o Sparc architecture and syscall mechanism fixed up so things compile
  200. o usershell reimplemented
  201. o Fixed global destructors for staticly linked applications
  202. o Added dynamic atexit support (needed for full C++ ctor/dtor support)
  203. o The ldd utility now acts more like the GNU utility
  204. o Added a stub libnsl library to make stupid configure scripts bahave
  205. o Always build crt1.o as well as crt0.o to minimize the need to mess
  206. with the compiler
  207. o Rewrote powerpc crt0.S to properly handle ctors/dtors
  208. o Removed unimplemented and legacy stuff from our header files to
  209. make configure behave better
  210. o Made the lib loader also support libs in /usr/X11R6/lib by default
  211. o Config system updates
  212. o networking function updates
  213. o Large file support updates
  214. o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
  215. Nick Fedchik
  216. o Support ether_aton
  217. Nathan Field
  218. o Fixed pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_unlock so they
  219. actually work as advertised on mips
  220. o Fixed several nasty pthread bugs fixing debugging
  221. Brett Hunt
  222. o Fixed potential segfaults during 'make menuconfig'
  223. Jay Kulpinski
  224. o Fixed a subtle problem in the DNS resolver that prevented
  225. uncompressed DNS lookup responses from working
  226. David McCullough
  227. o Fixed pclose error handling
  228. David Meggy
  229. o fixed the problem where arm binaries would crash on start
  230. that Erik stupidly caused right before the last release.
  231. Manuel Novoa III
  232. o Major locale support update!
  233. o Allow people to use pregenerated locale data instead of generating
  234. approx 40Mb of glibc locales to get the 300+ locales currently
  235. supported.
  236. o locale dependent collation support
  237. o Fixed locale support tools to work when cross-compiling
  238. o Added the *wprintf functions
  239. o Added the wcsto{inttype} functions
  240. o Added iconv() and a mini iconv utility
  241. o Added hsearch and hsearch_r
  242. o Fixed a silly bug allowing wprintf %s to work correctly.
  243. o Fixed fdopen when used with "a" (append).
  244. o Fixed stdio file position handing to be sure fell() always
  245. gives correct results
  246. Luc Van Oostenryck
  247. o Fixed a buffer overflow in getlogin_r
  248. Yoshinori Sato
  249. o Hitachi h8300 architecture update
  250. Ronald Wahl
  251. o Powerpc shared library relocation fixes
  252. -Erik
  253. 0.9.16 8 November 2002
  254. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  255. Release highlights:
  256. o CRIS architecture and shared library support from Tobias Anderberg
  257. o New uClibc configuration system
  258. o shared library global constructors and destructors initialization
  259. ordering fixed by Stefan Allius
  260. o More SuperH architecture fixes from Stefan Allius
  261. o uClibc now compiles with newer versions of gcc (i.e. RedHat 8.0)
  262. o uClibc no longer requires perl to compile
  263. o mips dlopen was fixed by Steven J. Hill
  264. o pty and tty handling fixes
  265. o Manuel Novoa added support for a new /etc/TZ file for globally
  266. setting the system timezone.
  267. o Manuel also fixed up a number of remaining wide char issues.
  268. o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
  269. -Erik
  270. 0.9.15 27 August 2002
  271. This is a minor bugfix release.
  272. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  273. Release highlights:
  274. o Eliminated the HAS_LONG_LONG option. gcc always supports
  275. long long, and the option never excluded all long long anyways.
  276. o ctype.h no longer allows multiple argument evaluation in
  277. compliance with ANSI/ISO C99
  278. o Obscure printf fixes -- one involving %o and one involving %f.
  279. o Bugfixes for locking and reentrance in password/group functions
  280. o Directly use kernel types for most items, eliminating needless
  281. translation and fixing several bugs.
  282. o Directly use kernel struct stat -- no more translating
  283. o More superH (sh) architecture merging from Stefan Allius
  284. o Errno values and strerror are now correct on alpha, sparc, and mips
  285. o Fixed an obscure bug with fclose when custom streams are enabled.
  286. o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups
  287. -Erik
  288. 0.9.14 12 August 2002
  289. This is a minor bugfix release.
  290. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  291. Release highlights:
  292. o Fix a compile error when RPC and Pthread support
  293. were both enabled.
  294. o Eliminate duplicate define warnings in wstring.c.
  295. o Fix potentially broken preprocessor comparisons.
  296. o Erik was an idiot and broke thread locking in exit(),
  297. atexit() and friends. Fix that.
  298. o Fix the gcc wrapper to use crtbeginS.o and crtendS.o when
  299. compiling PIC code (crtbegin.o and crtend.o) otherwise.
  300. -Erik
  301. 0.9.13 9 August 2002
  302. Security Fixes
  303. o There was an off-by-one buffer overflow in the group
  304. handling code, fix thanks to Joseph Chiu.
  305. o There was an integer overflow bug in calloc, per
  306. http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5398
  307. o There was an integer overflow bug in the xdr_array
  308. RPC code, per http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5356
  309. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  310. Release highlights:
  311. o Add full shared library support for Hitachi SuperH (sh)
  312. thanks to Stefan Allius and Edie C. Dost
  313. o Lots of reentrance cleanups (we should now be fully
  314. reentrant when compiled with pthread support).
  315. o Miles Bader implemented a new mmap based malloc which is much
  316. smarter than the old "malloc-simple", and actually works, unlike
  317. the old "malloc". This is now the default for mmu-less systems
  318. and should greatly help reduce memory fragmentation and wastage.
  319. o Reworked syscall handling for i386 and ARM, smaller and cleaner.
  320. o Support for the syscall() function on i386 and ARM
  321. o The uClibc g++ wrapper now automagically adds the proper include
  322. search path and and libraries.
  323. o Lots of shared library loader updates
  324. o dlopen'd shred libraries not properly run destructors
  325. when ctor/dtor support is enabled
  326. o pread/pwrite/pread64/pwrite64 now all work as expected
  327. o Lots and lots of other bug fixes and cleanups.
  328. -Erik
  329. 0.9.12 20 June 2002
  330. See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
  331. Release highlights:
  332. o Add full shared library support for mips (big and little
  333. endian), thanks to a lot of hard work from Steven J. Hill
  334. o i960 architecture support, thanks to Martin Proulx
  335. o An initial alpha port (works, but needs some cleanup)
  336. o Fixes shared library support for powerpc
  337. o Fixes for mmu-less systems
  338. o Much improved thread locking and reentrance.
  339. o More gcc wrapper updates. XFree86 really does link
  340. this time around. It still didn't last time.
  341. o Libcrypt now passes conformance tests
  342. o Nearly complete locale supporti thanks to a lot
  343. of hard work by Manuel Novoa III. This stuff is
  344. _way_ smaller than glibc's

  404. John Traill:
  405. o Several types on powerpc, such as dev_t, are different than on other
  406. architectures. John spotted this, which fixed a _ton_ of problems since
  407. anything calling stat() was previously broken.
  408. Jim Treadway:
  409. o Eliminated use of alarm() from the DNS resolver by converting
  410. it to use select instead (much cleaner).

  515. single C file, thereby reducing its size further.
  516. o Reworked the shared library linking process to be more
  517. flexible so that gcc and ld can more easily be built to
  518. target uClibc library.
  519. o Better error checking in the Makefiles. Be more pedantic
  520. about tar, chmod, etc to avoid system dependent failures.
  521. o We can now autodetect the target architecture
  522. o Hide references to wchar_t so GNU autoconf
  523. configure scripts won't get confused and try to
  524. enable wide char support.
