Hi,
I've uploaded to
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/glibc
and
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu
and
ftp://ftp.XX.kernel.org/pub/software/libs/glibc
(where XX is your country code) the latest test release of glibc
2.1.1. It'll hopefully be the last for 2.1.1. The files to download
are
glibc-2.1.1pre1-2.1.1pre2.diff.gz
(or glibc-2.1.1pre2.tar.gz if you need the whole tarball)
and
glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.1pre2.tar.gz
The crypt add-on hasn't changed, use the 2.1 version.
New in this release:
- lots of bug fixes
Beside general one also several specific to Arm.
- SPARC optimizations by Jakub Jelinek
- more Hurd changes (Roland, Mark)
- fix of a few compatibility problems
- several locale data extensions
- updates for charmaps according to current Unicode converison tables
(a lot Euro stuff)
- many performance improvements (mainly by me); startup times of applications
should be reduced measurably
Give it a try. I'm quite comfortable with this version and if no
problems are reported it'll go out as 2.1.1.
