The changes from the 2.1.91 release are numerous (as can be seem by
the size of the diff file). We tried to handle and resolve all
reports coming in for 2.1.91 and also all outstanding reports in this
test release with the result that I know fewer problems with this
release than any previous one (this includes 2.1.3 etc). Many people
are already using this version as the main version. But still be
careful, there could be some bugs hidden and also incompatibilities
might still exist.
I've tested this release only on Linux/x86 and Linux/Arm (the only
machines I have). The alpha, PPC, and SPARC versions should run or be
not far from doing so. The same is true for the Hurd. I don't know
about the rest. The Linux/IA-64 version will need special tools and
kernel sources, the Linux/S390 version is incomplete.
Please test this release as much as you can. I haven't received many
reports for 2.1.91 which can means it was alsmost bug-free or not many
people actually used it. Report all problems to
libc-alpha@sourceware.cygnus.com
and *not* to me directly. Also don't send me questions, I won't
answer. All this traffic should be directed to the libc-alpha list.
If you send a report provide a test case if possible. If we cannot
reproduce it in an acceptible time frame we'll forget about the
report. If we have no test case the same problem can appear in future
releases.
Beside possible changes from the kernel side I consider the ABI fixed
now. There will be more changes coming but beside bug fixes they'll
only perform optimizations transparent to the user.
