See the end for copying conditions. Please send GNU C library bug reports via <http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/> using `glibc' in the "product" field. -Version 2.5 - -* For Linux, the sorting of addresses returned by getaddrinfo now also - handles rules 3, 4, and 7 from RFC 3484. I.e., all rules are handled. - Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. - -* Allow system admin to configure getaddrinfo with the /etc/gai.conf file. - Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. - -* New Linux interfaces: splice, tee, sync_file_range, vmsplice. - -* New iconv module for MIK. Contributed by Alexander Shopov. - -* For sites with broken group and/or passwd database, the auto-propagate - option of nscd can prevent creating ID lookup entries from the results - of a name lookup and vice versa. This usually is no problem but some - site might have problems with the default behavior. - Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. - -* Iterating over entire database in NIS can be slow. With the - SETENT_BATCH_READ option in /etc/default/nss a system admin can decide - to trade time for memory. The entire database will be read at once. - Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. - -* The interfaces introduced in RFC 3542 have been implemented by - Ulrich Drepper. - -* Support for the new ELF hash table format was added by Ulrich Drepper. - -* Support for priority inheritance mutexes added by Jakub Jelinek and - Ulrich Drepper. - -* Support for priority protected mutexes added by Jakub Jelinek. - -* New locales: nr_ZA, pa_PK, ca_AD, ca_FR, ca_IT, el_CY, tr_CY, as_IN, - or_IN, csb_PL, fy_NL, sr_ME. - -Version 2.4 - -* More overflow detection functions. - -* New iconv converters for IBM1025, IBM1122, IBM1137, IBM1153, - IBM1154, IBM1155, IBM1156, IBM1157, and IBM1158 contributed by Jiro Sekiba. - - More converters for IBM803, IBM901, IBM902, IBM921, IBM1008, IBM1097, - IBM1112, IBM1123, IBM1130, IBM1140, IBM1141, IBM1142, IBM1143, IBM1144, - IBM1145, IBM1146, IBM1147, IBM1148, IBM1149, IBM1166, IBM1167, IBM4517, - IBM4899, IBM4909, IBM4971, IBM5347, IBM9030, IBM9066, IBM9448, IBM12712, - IBM16804, IBM1364, IBM1371, IBM1388, IBM1390, and IBM1399 contributed - by Masahide Washizawa. - -* It is now possible to install audit libraries for the dynamic linker using - LD_AUDIT. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. - -* The LinuxThreads add-on, providing pthreads on Linux 2.4 kernels, is no - longer supported. The new NPTL implementation requires Linux 2.6 kernels. - For a libc and libpthread that works well on Linux 2.4 kernels, we - recommend using the stable 2.3 branch. - -* The new function open_wmemstream acts like open_memstream, - but uses a wchar_t wide character buffer. - -* The new function ppoll is an improved version of poll, similar to pselect. - -* New interfaces: fdopendir, openat, fstatat, fchmodat, fchownat, - futimesat, faccessat, mkdirat, mkfifoat, mknodat, - renameat, unlinkat, linkat, symlinkat, readlinkat. - -* New Linux kernel system calls: unshare, - inotify_init, inotify_add_watch, inotify_rm_watch. - -* The euidaccess function is now also known by the alias eaccess, - for compatibility with some other systems. - -* Timezone data updated to 2006b version. - -Version 2.3.6 - -* The following bugs are resolved with this release: - - 38, 253, 549, 622, 653, 721, 758, 851, 877, 915, 934, 955, 961, - 1016, 1037, 1076, 1079, 1080, 1081, 1082, 1083, 1084, 1085, 1086, - 1087, 1088, 1090, 1091, 1092, 1093, 1094, 1095, 1096, 1097, 1098, - 1099, 1100, 1101, 1102, 1103, 1104, 1105, 1106, 1107, 1108, 1109, - 1110, 1111, 1112, 1113, 1125, 1137, 1138, 1249, 1250, 1251, 1252, - 1253, 1254, 1350, 1358, 1394, 1438, 1498, 1534 - - Visit <http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/> for the details of each bug. - -* As of this release, GCC 4 can be used to compile the C Library. - -* Timezone data updated to 2005m version. - -Version 2.3.5 - -* The following bugs are resolved with this release: - - 284, 592, 602, 626, 633, 640, 650, 661, 671, 681, 693, 700, 710, 719, - 722, 723, 725, 726, 727, 728, 729, 730, 731, 732, 733, 734, 735, 736, - 737, 738, 739, 740, 741, 742, 743, 744, 745, 765, 767, 768, 769, 776, - 777, 787, 821, 822, 823, 825 - - Visit <http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/> for the details of each bug. - Version 2.3.4 * Support for RFC 3678.
