GNU C Library version 2.3.5 release
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Version 2.3.5 of the GNU C Library is now available for download at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/ ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/glibc/releases/ Please see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html and http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html for mirror sites around the world. This release contains only bug fixes, as will future 2.3.x releases. The following bugs in version 2.3.4 are resolved in 2.3.5: 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. For information on reporting bugs in the GNU C Library, see: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html Be advised that updating the C library is no trivial task and it is very easy to damage one's system. Unless you are participating in the development and maintenance of the C library, you should use a binary distribution instead. The code in this release has already been built and tested by maintainers of GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd binary distributions basing their systems on it. Please note that version 2.3.5 cannot be compiled using GCC 4 (which has not yet been released). Version 2.3.5 has only the changes necessary to fix bugs seen on production systems using 2.3.4; production systems are using the GCC 3.4 compiler. We expect to release version 2.3.6 soon, to coincide with the anticipated GCC 4.0 release. Version 2.3.6 will contain changes necessary to build with GCC 4, though we still recommend the stable GCC 3.4 version for building the stable 2.3.x versions of the GNU C Library, as that is what has been heavily tested. If you especially want to compile glibc using GCC development snapshots, then you should be working with the current development version of glibc (see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/). That code is not yet ready for release, but already builds well with GCC 4, and fixes many new compilation warnings that you will still see in 2.3.6. The following files are available: 93d9c51850e0513aa4846ac0ddcef639 glibc-2.3.5.tar.bz2 (13M) 86ae1273e22af8766297ec21c0232743 glibc-libidn-2.3.5.tar.bz2(99K) 77011b0898393c56b799bc011a0f37bf glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.5.tar.bz2 (231K) 4d88997e4a362ccdc369d7cf47234616 glibc-2.3.5.tar.gz(17M) 4d903eda415824687a162502020f7d73 glibc-libidn-2.3.5.tar.gz (121K) 752ac06ad44f4d7fb2d8e51e72d7e94c glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.5.tar.gz (316K) 7012aabd25f7e16e1fd4fe6d9f0a8ba2 glibc-ports-2.3.5.tar.bz2 (141K) fdb87a0b4ff0832c255831614e4b79ce glibc-ports-2.3.5.tar.gz (191K) 4fa5f234c0fde973e56e81544a89363b glibc-2.3.4-2.3.5.diff.gz (1.2M) 0b3bfe7da428cbe94d395bbd3ead7f74 glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.4-2.3.5.diff.gz(2.6K) Note the `linuxthreads' package is required to build a useful system C library for use with Linux kernels prior to version 2.6. To build a configuration supporting only Linux 2.6 kernels or to build for GNU/Hurd, the package is not required. The main glibc-2.3.4 release package contains the Native POSIX Threads Library (NPTL) contributed by Ulrich Drepper, which supports Linux 2.6 kernels only. This is the first release to include the `ports' package, which has been available via CVS since version 2.3.4 was released. This add-on package contains code supporting machines and operating systems maintained only by volunteers, not as part of the core glibc maintenance effort. It presently contains some disused code for abandoned ports that worked many years ago, as well as the Linux/AM33 port contributed by Alexandre Oliva. You do not need this package unless you are using AM33, or working on a new port of glibc yourself.

GNU C Library version 2.4 release
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Version 2.4 of the GNU C Library is now available for download at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/ ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/glibc/releases/ Please see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html and http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html for mirror sites around the world. Version 2.4 is the first release after a long period of development, and introduces changes to the API and a new ABI for all configurations. The NEWS file in the distribution lists major additions, and there are many smaller changes along with innumerable bug fixes. This code has been tested and deployed in new production systems, but should still be considered somewhat experimental. The stable 2.3 release series continues to be maintained, and implements a widely-deployed ABI. Version 2.3.6 is available, and we will release 2.3.7 with more bug fixes. Once you install version 2.4, most program binaries you compile will not be able to run on older installations based on 2.3.6 or earlier versions. Existing dynamically-linked program binaries built using older glibc versions should continue to work if they make proper use of the library interfaces as specified. While the code in this release has received substantial testing and is going into new production systems, we are already aware of a few issues and have a backlog of problem reports awaiting investigation. We believe this release marks a point of decent stability and substantial improvement over version 2.3, and its ABI will remain stable for later 2.4 releases. We hope that making this release now will lead to more strenuous testing. We anticipate a 2.4.1 release in the not too distant future to tie up loose ends and fold in more fixes and improvements made after the initial deployments of systems based on the 2.4 ABI. Be advised that updating the C library is no trivial task and it is very easy to damage one's system. Unless you are participating in the development and maintenance of the C library, you should use a binary distribution instead. The code in this release has already been built and tested by maintainers of binary distributions basing their systems on it. If you are not already using a system based on the version 2.4 ABI, then you may wreak havoc by attempting to install this version. We recommend using GCC 4.1 to build this version of the GNU C Library. For the S/390 and 32-bit PowerPC architectures, GCC 4.1 is required. For other architectures, GCC 3.4 or later will work but 4.0 and 4.1 are better.

GNU C Library version 2.6.1 release
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Version 2.6.1 of the GNU C Library is now available for download at: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/glibc/ ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/glibc/releases/ Please see http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html and http://sources.redhat.com/mirrors.html for mirror sites around the world. This is a bug-fix release intended only for those using stable systems already based on the version 2.6 release. If you are building a new system from scratch, please use version 2.6.1 instead. The 2.6 and 2.6.1 releases of the GNU C Library are licensed under the LGPL version 2.1, and GPL version 2.1 for the non-library programs included, or any later version. This means you are free to redistribute this version under the terms of the LGPL version 3 or the GPL 3, as well under as the version 2.1 terms of the 2.6 release.

BINARY COMPATIBILITY NOTE: The version 2.6 release had a bug in the `malloc_set_state' function that broke ABI compatibility with previous versions. For any program using this function, a binary built against version 2.5 or earlier would be broken when running with a version 2.6 shared library. This may have been worked around by recompiling against the version 2.6 library, however this created a binary depending on the binary-incompatible bug. System distributions using version 2.6 fixed this problem in their released shared libraries, so most users will not have been affected by version 2.6's misbehavior. This bug is now fixed in version 2.6.1, so that a 2.6.1 shared library is compatible with old binaries built with version 2.5 or earlier. However, this means that any binaries rebuilt against an unmodified 2.6 shared library had this 2.6 bug built in and are thus incompatible with a 2.6.1 shared library. Be advised that updating the C library is no trivial task and it is very easy to damage one's system. Unless you are participating in the development and maintenance of the C library, you should use a binary distribution instead. The code in this release has already been built and tested by maintainers of binary distributions basing their systems on it. If you are not already using a system based on the version 2.6 ABI, then you may wreak havoc by attempting to install this version.
