1 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.10.0:
3 * libtool support for i[3456]86-pc-linux native builds
5 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.9.0:
7 * i[3456]86-pc-linux support
9 * Long Double I/O support via the WANT_IO_LONG_DBL flag
11 * addition of reentrant environment functions
13 * addition of xscale and AVR platforms
15 * severe reduction in the number of warnings issued
17 * consolidation of many RTEMS features into shared headers
19 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.2:
21 * RTEMS features and fixes from Joel Sherrill.
23 * More work on reentrant routines.
25 * Floating point math library check, --enable-newlib-hw-fp.
27 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.1:
29 * Added check for --enable-newlib-mb configure option which defines the
30 MB_CAPABLE macro. Multibyte support for JIS, SJIS, and EUC-JP implemented.
32 * Reduced code size for libm modules.
34 * Replaced the BSD malloc with Doug Lea's malloc.
36 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.0:
38 * Added simulated signal handling functions _raise_r, _signal_r, raise, and
39 signal except for sparc-sun-sunos*, i[3456]86-*-sco*, and a29k-*-* systems,
40 which already provide access to signal. The signal functionality provided
41 does not interact with hardware generated signals.
43 * Added reentrant function rand_r from POSIX.1c.
45 * Removed _asctime, _next, _scanpoint, and _signgam fields from struct
46 _reent. These are no longer necessary since there are now functions
47 that explictly support multiple threads (asctime_r, ctime_r, gamma_r,
48 gmtime_r, lgamma_r, localtime_r, rand_r, & strtok_r).
51 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.7.0:
53 * Cross compiler target libraries are now built in a subdir of the top level
66 where m68020 and m68881 are multilib subdirectories
68 * m68k targets support --disable options to avoid building unwanted versions
71 --disable-softfloat - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -msoft-float
72 --disable-m68881 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68881
73 --disable-m68000 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68000
74 --disable-m68020 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68020
76 These options have *no* effect on the default libraries, so if the default
77 is -m68020, --disable-m68020 is nilpotent.
79 * Reentrancy support in libm removed.
81 * strtok, strtol, strtoul, assert, div, ldiv, qsort, vfprintf
82 replaced with NetBSD versions.
84 * Support for systems with 32 bit "doubles" added.
88 * dtoa.c updated from master dtoa.c soruces (netlib.att.com)
92 *** Major changes in newlib version 1.6.1:
94 * Added reentrant functions (asctime_r, ctime_r, gmtime_r, localtime_r,
95 and strtok_r) from POSIX.1c.
97 * Removed _asctime_r and _strtok_r functions.
