1 | 0.9.31 not yet released |
2 | ||
3 | Upgrade notices from previous versions. | |
4 | o On x86_64 the format of /var/run/utmp changed compared to previous | |
5 | versions. To retain compatibility with glibc we now define | |
6 | __WORDSIZE_COMPAT32. If you are certain that you will never use | |
7 | glibc nor run in i386 mode on your x86_64 installation, you can | |
8 | remove this definition from wordsize.h. | |
9 | Otherwise you have to delete /var/run/utmp on x86_64 hosts when | |
10 | upgrading to 0.9.31 | |
58a0daa6 BRF |
11 | o The SHARED_LIB_LOADER_PREFIX was renamed to a single path |
12 | component called MULTILIB_DIR and defaults to 'lib'. | |

14 | 0.9.27 12 January 2005 |
15 | ||
16 | This has been a long time in the making... Release highlights: | |
17 | o New stdio implementation | |
18 | o New optimized string functions | |
19 | o Major improvements to the shared lib loader | |
20 | o Shared libraries work properly on powerpc | |
21 | o Debugging works on mips | |
22 | o New architectures: frv, nios, nios2, bfin | |
23 | o Linux 2.6.x kernel support | |
24 | o Lots and lots of bug fixes | |
25 | ||
26 | This release is NOT binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.26 or any earlier | |
27 | release, so be prepared to recompile your software if you are still using | |
28 | an old version of uClibc. | |

34 | 0.9.26 3 January 2004 |
35 | ||
36 | This simply adds a fix for a pthread bug that was noticed a few hours | |
37 | after the previous release. Otherwise identical to 0.9.25. | |
38 | ||
39 | This release remains binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21-25 as long as | |
40 | you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will break things. | |
41 | We _were_ planning to break binary compatibilty in this release, but | |
42 | decided to hold those changes so we could push out a bugfix release. | |
43 | ||
44 | We _will_ break binary compatibilty in the upcoming 0.9.27 release to | |
45 | implement a few things we have been postponing. That should hopefully be | |
46 | the last ABI change before we freeze the ABI for the upcoming 1.0.x | |
47 | stable uClibc series. | |
48 | ||
49 | Release highlights: | |
50 | o A trivial fix for a pthread bug | |
51 | o Nothing else | |

70 | stable uClibc series. | |
71 | ||
72 | Release highlights: | |
73 | o Fixed a ton of problems found using the LTP and NIST test suites. | |
74 | The few remaining test failures are obscure corner cases, such as | |
75 | a few functions that fail (correctly) with incorrect errno values. | |
76 | o Fixed a longstanding pthreads bug -- amoung other things, you no | |
77 | longer need to explicitly add -lpthread for perl to work. | |
78 | o Added some sh optimized string functions | |
79 | o Added sh64 shared library support | |
80 | o The default malloc implementation has been replaced, and will | |
81 | now actually free memory when told to do so. | |
82 | o Both popen() and exec*() now behave themselves per SuSv3 | |
83 | o Better 2.6.x kernel header support | |
84 | o Added support for Position Independent Executables (PIE) on x86 | |
85 | o Lots of other minor cleanups | |

85bfb82a EA |
118 | |
119 | Note: | |
120 | This release is binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 and 0.9.22 as | |
121 | long as you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that will | |
122 | break things. Enabling or disabling things like soft-float, | |
123 | locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu type are all good | |
124 | examples of things that will break binary compatibility. | |
125 | ||
126 | Release highlights: | |
127 | o Fixed several silly configuration problems that were | |
128 | present in the 0.9.22 release. | |
129 | o Fixed compilation problem with soft-float support on | |
130 | several architectures. | |
131 | o Lots of cleanup work on the powepc shared lib loader | |
132 | thanks to Joakim Tjernlund. | |
133 | o Updated the debian packaging for use in a standalone uClibc | |
134 | system, rather than being a subordinate library under a | |
135 | glibc based system. | |

144 | ||
ba64d84b | 145 | See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what. |
1528771f EA |
146 | |
147 | Note: | |
148 | This release is binary compatible with the 0.9.21 release | |
149 | if you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that | |
150 | might break things for you (i.e. enabling or disabling things | |
151 | like soft-float, locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu | |
152 | type are all good examples of binary incompatible config options). | |
153 | ||
154 | Release highlights: | |
155 | o Added e1, microblaze, and sh64 architectures. | |
156 | o Much improved soft-float support | |
157 | o Rewrote the passwd and group handing functions | |
158 | and implemented all SuSv3 required reentrant | |
159 | versions. | |
160 | o Reworked and updated the Config system. You now | |
161 | get to select your target architecture with the | |
162 | config system. | |
163 | o Fixed pthreads for mmuless m68k systems | |
164 | o Added some x86 optimized string functions. | |
165 | o Lots and lots of bugs fixed. | |

174 | ||
ba64d84b | 175 | See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what. |
03e99a2f EA |
176 | |
177 | Note: | |
178 | This release is not binary compatible with earlier releases. | |
179 | Sorry about that. We have never promised to provide binary | |
6a402bb0 | 180 | compatibility until we hit version 1.0, and even then, if |
03e99a2f EA |
181 | you change your configuration. |
182 | ||
183 | Release highlights: | |
6a402bb0 | 184 | o uClibc now has full ANSI/ISO C99 locale support (except |
03e99a2f EA |
185 | for wcsftime() and collating items in regex). |
186 | o Added support for using pre-generated locale data, making | |
187 | it easy for mere mortals to use uClibc w/locale support. | |
188 | o Lots of new tuning options added to trade size | |
189 | for features, allowing for smaller static binaries. | |
190 | o The "dlopen()'ing libraries that depend on libraries" | |
191 | problem was fixed. | |
192 | o A new scanf implementation. Well tested, but | |
193 | brand new so watch for obscure bugs... | |
194 | o Reworked and updated the Config system, adding several | |
195 | nice new features which we now use. | |
196 | o Lots and lots of sundry bug fixes and cleanups. | |

208 | Note: | |
209 | This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 and 0.9.19. | |
210 | ||
211 | ||
212 | Release highlights: | |
213 | o Some ldd, profiling, and gcc wrapper updates | |
214 | o Updated to support and compile with gcc 3.3 | |
215 | o Several needed mips updates | |
216 | o Building under cygwin should now work... | |
217 | o Prevent non-PIC code getting into PIC libs | |
218 | o Added mmap64 support | |
219 | o mmu-less systems now get a 16k default thread stack size | |
220 | which is much more sane than the old 2 MB default... | |
221 | o Implemented syscall() for powerpc | |
222 | o Optionally struct tm extension support | |
223 | o Lots of other sundry little fixes and cleanups. | |
224 | o Prevent buffer overflows in the passwd and group functions. | |

ba64d84b | 234 | See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what. |
2229d0fa EA |
235 | |
236 | Note: | |
237 | This release remains binary compatible with 0.9.18 (except | |
238 | for mips, but then mips was unusable in stock 0.9.18 anyways). | |
239 | ||
240 | ||
241 | Release highlights: | |
242 | Stefan Allius | |
243 | o Some Makefile and warning fixes | |
244 | David Airlie | |
245 | o Fixed gcc wrapper handling of ctor/dtor stuff when used in | |
246 | with and w/o the nostdinc and nostdlib options | |
247 | Erik Andersen | |
248 | o Fixed a number of system call kernel type/user type translation | |
6a402bb0 | 249 | problems that scrambled a handful of system calls. |
2229d0fa EA |
250 | o Fixup powerpc syscalls to eliminate warnings with gcc-3.2 |
251 | o Fixed several ioctl special cases for powerpc | |
252 | o Checked in forgotten mips kernel_types.h changes | |
253 | o Fixed mips shared library loader bug that caused segfaults | |
254 | o Major update to the pthreads library. Should improve performance. | |
255 | o Fixed uClibc's shared library loader so we can properly debug | |
256 | applications using pthreads (must use gdb 5.3 or newer which | |
257 | was compiled using uClibc). | |
258 | o Made uClibc's ldd act just the glibc provided one (i.e. relying | |
259 | on the shared lib loader to do the work) when it is possible to | |
260 | doi so, and only rummage about the ELF headers when we have no | |
261 | other choice (such as when using 'ldd' on cross compiled stuff). | |
262 | Miles Bader | |
263 | o header file updates for v850 architecture | |
264 | o Fixed v850 crt0.S __uClibc_main argument stack space | |
265 | Jeffrey Damick | |
266 | o Fixed res_init() so it properly reloads /etc/resolv.conf | |
267 | Vadim Lebedev | |
268 | o Fixed ARM setjmp when floating point was disabled | |
269 | David McCullough | |
270 | o Removed debug (-g) when building crti.o and crtn.o, as | |
271 | debug would mess up the build for SH4 and probably others. | |
272 | o Fixed SH setjmp when floating point was enabled | |

284 | |
285 | Note: | |
286 | ||
287 | Once again, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with earlier | |
288 | releases. I _think this will be the last time (with the possible | |
289 | exception of some future changes to our locale support...) | |
290 | ||
291 | ||
292 | Release highlights: | |
293 | Stefan Allius | |
294 | o fixed a compile problem when large file support was disabled | |
295 | o fixed dlib_pic.o to compile with proper flags | |
296 | o fixed a shared lib loader compile warning | |
297 | o Made adding libgcc functions to uClibc optional | |
298 | Erik Andersen | |
299 | o Fixed scandir64 to not free the wrong pieces of memory | |
300 | which caused segfaults | |
301 | o Fixed mismatches between kernel and libc dirent structures | |
302 | o Fixed mismatches between the size of uClibc's struct dirent | |
303 | and struct dirent64 so that when _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 we | |
304 | do not lose part of the filename | |
305 | o Fixed getdents64.c so the build will not break when compiling | |
306 | vs a 2.0.x Linux kernel when UCLIBC_HAS_LFS is enabled | |
307 | o Create stub crti.o and crtn.o files when UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR is disabled | |
308 | o Fixed licenses for a few files that erroneously were listed as GPL | |
309 | but were really LGPL after discussing with authors | |
310 | o sigaction for x86 had an extra and unwanted sigaction syscall | |
311 | o Fixed debugging of arm binaries by adding a .note.ABI-tag section | |
312 | Miles Bader | |
313 | o header file updates for v850 architecture | |
314 | o Fixed v850 clone syscall | |
315 | Christian Krause | |
316 | o Fixed pthread_cond_timedwait to properly uses rt singals | |
317 | when available | |
318 | Christophe Massiot | |
319 | o Added mips _flush_cache syscall | |
320 | David McCullough | |
321 | o Added m68k brk syscall | |
322 | Marshall M. Midden | |
323 | o Fixed pipe implementation for mips | |

335 | |
336 | Note: | |
337 | ||
338 | I have always reserved the right to make binary incompatible changes as | |
339 | needed prior to the "1.0" release. This release is a good example of | |
340 | that. A few bugs turned up that needed to be fixed and the only good way | |
341 | to fix them was to change some fundamental data structure sizes. So I did | |
342 | just that. As a result, this release is _NOT_ binary compatible with | |
343 | earlier releases -- you will need to recompile your applications. | |
344 | ||
345 | ||
346 | Release highlights: | |
347 | Stefan Allius | |
348 | o fixed a number of shared library loader bugs | |
349 | o setjmp, longjmp, clone, and vfork cleanups for the SH architecture | |
350 | o Don't build the config system with ncurses unless asked to | |
351 | Tobias Anderberg | |
352 | o cris architecture updates | |
353 | Erik Andersen | |
354 | o Changed 'struct stat' and 'struct stat64' so they use types that | |
355 | are consistant with use elsewhere in the library. Without this, | |
356 | subtle bugs would occur due to comparing signed and unsigned | |
357 | types (for example, GNU tar wouldn't work) | |
358 | o Fixed dlopen so it works with staticly linked apps | |
359 | o Fixed sigaction on arm architecture so sa_restorer works properly | |
360 | o Fixed sigaction on x86 architecture for (fixed debugging threads) | |
361 | o Fixed a wide char related segfault in the regular expression code | |
362 | o Powerpc pread and pwrite are now implemented correctly | |
6a402bb0 | 363 | o Powerpc syscall mechanism re-implemented |
f3e65d0d EA |
364 | o Sparc architecture and syscall mechanism fixed up so things compile |
365 | o usershell reimplemented | |
366 | o Fixed global destructors for staticly linked applications | |
367 | o Added dynamic atexit support (needed for full C++ ctor/dtor support) | |
368 | o The ldd utility now acts more like the GNU utility | |
369 | o Added a stub libnsl library to make stupid configure scripts bahave | |
370 | o Always build crt1.o as well as crt0.o to minimize the need to mess | |
371 | with the compiler | |
372 | o Rewrote powerpc crt0.S to properly handle ctors/dtors | |
373 | o Removed unimplemented and legacy stuff from our header files to | |
374 | make configure behave better | |
375 | o Made the lib loader also support libs in /usr/X11R6/lib by default | |
376 | o Config system updates | |
377 | o networking function updates | |
378 | o Large file support updates | |
379 | o Lots of other little bug fixes and cleanups | |
380 | Nick Fedchik | |
381 | o Support ether_aton | |
382 | Nathan Field | |
383 | o Fixed pthread_mutex_lock and pthread_mutex_unlock so they | |
384 | actually work as advertised on mips | |
385 | o Fixed several nasty pthread bugs fixing debugging | |
386 | Brett Hunt | |
387 | o Fixed potential segfaults during 'make menuconfig' | |
388 | Jay Kulpinski | |
389 | o Fixed a subtle problem in the DNS resolver that prevented | |
390 | uncompressed DNS lookup responses from working | |
391 | David McCullough | |
392 | o Fixed pclose error handling | |
393 | David Meggy | |
394 | o fixed the problem where arm binaries would crash on start | |
395 | that Erik stupidly caused right before the last release. | |
396 | Manuel Novoa III | |
397 | o Major locale support update! | |
398 | o Allow people to use pregenerated locale data instead of generating | |
399 | approx 40Mb of glibc locales to get the 300+ locales currently | |
400 | supported. | |
401 | o locale dependent collation support | |
402 | o Fixed locale support tools to work when cross-compiling | |
403 | o Added the *wprintf functions | |
404 | o Added the wcsto{inttype} functions | |
405 | o Added iconv() and a mini iconv utility | |
406 | o Added hsearch and hsearch_r | |
407 | o Fixed a silly bug allowing wprintf %s to work correctly. | |
408 | o Fixed fdopen when used with "a" (append). | |
409 | o Fixed stdio file position handing to be sure fell() always | |
410 | gives correct results | |
411 | Luc Van Oostenryck | |
412 | o Fixed a buffer overflow in getlogin_r | |
413 | Yoshinori Sato | |
414 | o Hitachi h8300 architecture update | |
415 | Ronald Wahl | |
416 | o Powerpc shared library relocation fixes | |

428 | o New uClibc configuration system | |
429 | o shared library global constructors and destructors initialization | |
430 | ordering fixed by Stefan Allius | |
431 | o More SuperH architecture fixes from Stefan Allius | |
432 | o uClibc now compiles with newer versions of gcc (i.e. RedHat 8.0) | |
433 | o uClibc no longer requires perl to compile | |
434 | o mips dlopen was fixed by Steven J. Hill | |
435 | o pty and tty handling fixes | |
436 | o Manuel Novoa added support for a new /etc/TZ file for globally | |
437 | setting the system timezone. | |
438 | o Manuel also fixed up a number of remaining wide char issues. | |

450 | Release highlights: |
451 | o Eliminated the HAS_LONG_LONG option. gcc always supports | |
452 | long long, and the option never excluded all long long anyways. | |
453 | o ctype.h no longer allows multiple argument evaluation in | |
454 | compliance with ANSI/ISO C99 | |
455 | o Obscure printf fixes -- one involving %o and one involving %f. | |
456 | o Bugfixes for locking and reentrance in password/group functions | |
457 | o Directly use kernel types for most items, eliminating needless | |
458 | translation and fixing several bugs. | |
459 | o Directly use kernel struct stat -- no more translating | |
460 | o More superH (sh) architecture merging from Stefan Allius | |
461 | o Errno values and strerror are now correct on alpha, sparc, and mips | |
462 | o Fixed an obscure bug with fclose when custom streams are enabled. | |

66ec482f EA |
474 | Release highlights: |
475 | o Fix a compile error when RPC and Pthread support | |
476 | were both enabled. | |
477 | o Eliminate duplicate define warnings in wstring.c. | |
478 | o Fix potentially broken preprocessor comparisons. | |

491 | Security Fixes | |
492 | o There was an off-by-one buffer overflow in the group | |
493 | handling code, fix thanks to Joseph Chiu. | |
494 | o There was an integer overflow bug in calloc, per | |
495 | http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/5398 | |

105e1b4d EA |
500 | Release highlights: |
501 | o Add full shared library support for Hitachi SuperH (sh) | |
502 | thanks to Stefan Allius and Edie C. Dost | |
503 | o Lots of reentrance cleanups (we should now be fully | |
504 | reentrant when compiled with pthread support). | |
505 | o Miles Bader implemented a new mmap based malloc which is much | |
506 | smarter than the old "malloc-simple", and actually works, unlike | |
507 | the old "malloc". This is now the default for mmu-less systems | |
508 | and should greatly help reduce memory fragmentation and wastage. | |
509 | o Reworked syscall handling for i386 and ARM, smaller and cleaner. | |
510 | o Support for the syscall() function on i386 and ARM | |
511 | o The uClibc g++ wrapper now automagically adds the proper include | |
512 | search path and and libraries. | |
513 | o Lots of shared library loader updates | |
514 | o dlopen'd shred libraries not properly run destructors | |
515 | when ctor/dtor support is enabled | |
516 | o pread/pwrite/pread64/pwrite64 now all work as expected | |
517 | o Lots and lots of other bug fixes and cleanups. | |

538 | o Nearly complete locale supporti thanks to a lot | |
539 | of hard work by Manuel Novoa III. This stuff is | |

10b15440 | 541 | o Completely new time handling functions also by Manuel |
bd64b2ab EA |
542 | o Lots of other bug fixes and cleanups. |

584 | o Support libpthread on mips | |
585 | Richard June: | |
586 | o Fixed several bugs in utmp code (pututline was only writing the | |
587 | first sizeof-a-pointer bytes to the utmpfile). | |
588 | o setutent() was only opening utmp readonly. | |
589 | [email protected]: | |

f1fc9dca EA |
607 | John Traill: |
608 | o Several types on powerpc, such as dev_t, are different than on other | |
609 | architectures. John spotted this, which fixed a _ton_ of problems since | |
610 | anything calling stat() was previously broken. | |
e9371cdb EA |
611 | Jim Treadway: |
612 | o Eliminated use of alarm() from the DNS resolver by converting | |
613 | it to use select instead (much cleaner). | |

735 | o Include all shared library loader objects into a | |
e8e80956 | 736 | single C file, thereby reducing its size further. |
a2f978ac | 737 | o Reworked the shared library linking process to be more |
e8e80956 EA |
738 | flexible so that gcc and ld can more easily be built to |
739 | target uClibc library. | |

757 | o Implemented gethostent(), sethostent(), and endhostent() | |
758 | o Added arch specific support so that sparc and mips actually | |
759 | compile and work | |
a2f978ac EA |
760 | Miles Bader: |
761 | o Fixes for the v850 architecture: crt0, setjmp, | |
762 | arch autodetection, etc. | |
