+1.1.16 release notes
+
+new features:
+- s390x (64-bit S/390) port

+compatibility:
+- public prototypes for abi-compat *_unlocked symbols, etc.

+bugs fixed:
+- integer overflows in regexec buffer allocation (CVE-2016-8859)
+- failure of regexec to report matches at offsets past INT_MAX
+- static-pie executables with initialized thread-local storage crashed
+- printf failed to catch EOVERFLOW in some cases, wrongly produced it in others
+- printf produced wrong output, result for float with precision near INT_MAX
+- printf produced wrong results with alt-form octal, zero flag, & field width
+- printf float rounding was wrong for some midpoint cases
+- swprintf printed junk after internal (256-byte) buffer filled up
+- strtod family rounded incorrectly in several corner cases
+- getmntent failed to handle long records
+- getopt_long_only wrongly treated "--" as an option

+
+arch-specific bugs fixed:
+- tcsetattr regression on mips (completely non-working)
+- wrong pread/pwrite syscall calling convention on sh
+- wrong preadv2/pwritev2 syscall numbers on x32
+- mrand48/jrand48 produced wrong-signedness results on 64-bit archs
