Quite some fixes went into trunk during the last couple of months, umong them fixes for arm, mips, sh, i386, x86_64 and some bits for cris, powerpc and others. Several architecture independent tweaks and improvements found their way into trunk, too.

A couple of new configuration options were added to allow for even more fine-grained selection of the desired exported functionality. These new options are in the "Advanced Library Settings" menu and include

• Realtime-related family of SUSv functions
• Advanced realtime-related family of SUSv functions
• epoll
• Extended Attributes
• a handful of options to turn off compatibility APIs and deprecated functions

Furthermore it is now possible to build uClibc without networking support (for certain configurations):

• No network
• Socket
• IPv4
• IPv6

An allnoconfig setup with shared library support is about 30% smaller than it was previously.

Further work will be needed to completely decouple advanced RT from RT as well as building a purely IPv6 capable library without any IPv4 support.

Smacked down a few more bugs in the malloc implementations for no-MMU and finally got this one out. Again, this one should be binary compatible with the 0.9.28 series, but no one has explicitly tested this, so let us know!

Head to the downloads page to pick up the 0.9.29 release.

After the long goodbye, we have 0.9.29_rc1. Post your regressions and we'll pound out as many before 0.9.29. Target for this is end of the week. After that, we'll try to continue with the release-early-release-often schedule. This one should be binary compatible with the 0.9.28 series, but no one has explicitly tested this, so let us know!

Head to the downloads page to pick up the 0.9.29_rc1 release.

We're aiming for a new release-early-release-often record or something with the release of uClibc-0.9.28.3, which fixes a few more problems that turned up after last week's 0.9.28.2 release -- in particular a problem with weak threading symbols. As with last week's release, this is intended as a drop-in replacement for the long-term stable uClibc 0.9.28 release series.
