1 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.12.0:
3 * general iconv support added
4 * major cleanup with linux header files regarding warnings
5 * thread-safety and reentrancy fixes
6 * additional wide character C99 functions
7 * addition of %lc, %ls, %S, and %C printf format specifiers
10 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.11.0:
12 * enhanced EL/IX support for i[3456]86-pc-linux
13 * new --enable-newlib-elix-level configuration option
14 * positional arg I/O support for printf family (--enable-newlib-io-pos-args)
15 * support for the Fujitsu FRV architecture added by Red Hat
16 * support for Motorola Altivec and SPE added by Red Hat
17 * new small reentrancy structure support
18 * dynamic reentrancy structure support
20 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.10.0:
22 * libtool support for i[3456]86-pc-linux native builds
23 * addition of libm/machine/i386 directory, for i386 fast math routines
25 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.9.0:
27 * i[3456]86-pc-linux support
29 * Long Double I/O support via the WANT_IO_LONG_DBL flag
31 * addition of reentrant environment functions
33 * addition of xscale and AVR platforms
35 * severe reduction in the number of warnings issued
37 * consolidation of many RTEMS features into shared headers
39 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.2:
41 * RTEMS features and fixes from Joel Sherrill.
43 * More work on reentrant routines.
45 * Floating point math library check, --enable-newlib-hw-fp.
47 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.1:
49 * Added check for --enable-newlib-mb configure option which defines the
50 MB_CAPABLE macro. Multibyte support for JIS, SJIS, and EUC-JP implemented.
52 * Reduced code size for libm modules.
54 * Replaced the BSD malloc with Doug Lea's malloc.
56 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.0:
58 * Added simulated signal handling functions _raise_r, _signal_r, raise, and
59 signal except for sparc-sun-sunos*, i[3456]86-*-sco*, and a29k-*-* systems,
60 which already provide access to signal. The signal functionality provided
61 does not interact with hardware generated signals.
63 * Added reentrant function rand_r from POSIX.1c.
65 * Removed _asctime, _next, _scanpoint, and _signgam fields from struct
66 _reent. These are no longer necessary since there are now functions
67 that explictly support multiple threads (asctime_r, ctime_r, gamma_r,
68 gmtime_r, lgamma_r, localtime_r, rand_r, & strtok_r).
71 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.7.0:
73 * Cross compiler target libraries are now built in a subdir of the top level
86 where m68020 and m68881 are multilib subdirectories
88 * m68k targets support --disable options to avoid building unwanted versions
91 --disable-softfloat - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -msoft-float
92 --disable-m68881 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68881
93 --disable-m68000 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68000
94 --disable-m68020 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68020
96 These options have *no* effect on the default libraries, so if the default
97 is -m68020, --disable-m68020 is nilpotent.
99 * Reentrancy support in libm removed.
101 * strtok, strtol, strtoul, assert, div, ldiv, qsort, vfprintf
102 replaced with NetBSD versions.
104 * Support for systems with 32 bit "doubles" added.
108 * dtoa.c updated from master dtoa.c soruces (netlib.att.com)
112 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.6.1:
114 * Added reentrant functions (asctime_r, ctime_r, gmtime_r, localtime_r,
115 and strtok_r) from POSIX.1c.
117 * Removed _asctime_r and _strtok_r functions.
