0.9.22 8 November 2003
See Changelog.full for the complete list of who did what.
Note:
This release is binary compatible with the 0.9.21 release
if you take care to avoid any configuraton changes that
might break things for you (i.e. enabling or disabling things
like soft-float, locale, wide wchar support, or changing cpu
type are all good examples of binary incompatible config options).
Release highlights:
o Added e1, microblaze, and sh64 architectures.
o Much improved soft-float support
o Rewrote the passwd and group handing functions
and implemented all SuSv3 required reentrant
versions.
o Reworked and updated the Config system. You now
get to select your target architecture with the
config system.
o Fixed pthreads for mmuless m68k systems
o Added some x86 optimized string functions.
o Lots and lots of bugs fixed.

2.0, version 2.2, and version 2.4 are known to work. Other kernel
versions may work but havn't been tested. Its also helpful to have

INSTALLING the uClibc target runtime environment:
- As root, if necessary, run:
make PREFIX=<temporary path> install_target
This will install only the files that are necessary to run
binaries compiled against uClibc. Hint: You probably do not want
to install the target runtime environment into /lib on your host
machine.
This will install the uClibc runtime and development system (i.e.
all the header files, libraries, etc) into the directories defined
within your .config file.
USING uClibc:
- To compile programs with uClibc,
export PATH={uClibc DEVEL_PREFIX}/bin:$PATH
and then just run './configure' and 'make' as usual.
Note:
You may also want to look at extra/gcc-uclibc/gcc-uclibc.c for
additional information concerning what options and environment
variables the gcc wrapper handles.
- To compile programs with uClibc you will need a complete toolchain
(i.e. binutils, gcc, and uClibc) that was built expressly for use
with uClibc.
- Native and cross compiling toolchains, as well as makefiles for creating
uClibc toolchains, are available from the uClibc website. You may want
to check out "buildroot", which is available from the uClibc download area,
which provides examples of how to build your own uClibc based system.

<li> <b>8 November 2003, uClibc 0.9.22 Released</b>
<br>
CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
uClibc 0.9.22. This release has been cooking for a couple of months now
and is looking quite solid. We have done quite a lot of testing with this
release and things are looking good. And Erik has built Debian stable
(woody) for x86 with uClibc and it runs great. Expect that to be released
in the next few days.
<p>
This release is binary compatible with uClibc 0.9.21 -- as long as you pick
compatible configuration options. Enabling or disabling things like
soft-float, locale, wide char support, or changing cpu optimizations are
all good examples of binary incompatible configuration options. If have
changed any of those sorts of options (or if you are not sure!) you will
need to recompile all your applications and libraries.
<p>
Updated uClibc development systems using uClibc 0.9.22 will be made
available within a few days. Meanwhile, we invite you to try out uClibc
with the latest <a href="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/">Linux Test Project
test suite</a> (you will need to apply a small <a
href="http://www.uclibc.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/sources/ltp-testsuite.patch?rev=1.3">patch</a>.

<li> <b>9 September 2003, uClibc 0.9.21 Released</b>
<br>
CodePoet Consulting is pleased to announce the immediate availability of
uClibc 0.9.21. This release has been brewing for several months now, and
provides quite a lot of additional functionality and quite a few bug fixes
as well. Many people will be pleased that this release fixes the
"dlopen()'ing libraries that depend on libraries" problem.
<p>
The biggest thing in this release (and I do mean that literally) is that
uClibc now has full ANSI/ISO C99 locale support. Well, except for
wcsftime() and collating items in regex, which are not done yet. Adding
support for the default set of locales (169 UTF-8 locales and 144 locales
using other codesets) will enlarge uClibc by around 300k. Still, if you
need locale support, that is still much better than the roughly 30MB the
comparable set of locale date occupies with glibc. And you can of course
reduce the 300k by reducing the number of supported locales.
<p>
As usual, this release has many improvements, both large and small. At
this point, most applications that compile and work with glibc will also
compile and run with uClibc. Both Perl and Python pass all the tests in
their test suites (both with and without locale support enabled). We
invite you to grab a copy of the latest <a
href="http://ltp.sourceforge.net/"> Linux Test Project test suite</a> and
give uClibc some abuse. We are not yet perfect, but we are getting pretty
darn close.
<p>
This release is not binary compatible with earlier releases. Depending on
your configuration, you may actually still be binary compatible, but it
would be a good idea to recompile your applications when moving to the
uClibc 0.9.21 release. We are sorry about that, but we have never promised
to provide binary compatibility until we hit version 1.0. And even then,
if you change your uClibc configuration, you still still generally need to
recompile...
