 Version 2.1
 
+* Richard Henderson corrected size of struct timeval on Linux/Alpha to
+  conform to POSIX member type requirements.  Symbol versions have been
+  adjusted as needed within the library, and for direct use by applications,
+  but there is potential for problems if third-party libraries use
+  struct timeval as part of their interface.  This does not present
+  a problem for X and other "essential" system libraries.

 * An additional locale model to support C++ Standard Library locale
   model and probably more was implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
