+
+* Support for STT_GNU_IFUNC symbols added for s390 and s390x.
+  Optimized versions of memcpy, memset, and memcmp added for System z10 and
+  zEnterprise z196.
+  Implemented by Andreas Krebbel.
+
+* The new function secure_getenv allows secure access to the environment,
+  returning NULL if running in a SUID/SGID process.  This function replaces
+  the internal function __secure_getenv.
+
+* SystemTap static probes have been added into the dynamic linker.
+  Implemented by Gary Benson.
+
+* Optimizations of string functions strstr, strcasestr and memmem.
+  Implemented by Maxim Kuvyrkov.
+
+* The minimum Linux kernel version that this version of the GNU C Library
+  can be used with is 2.6.16.
+
+* Optimizations of string functions memchr, wcschr, wcscpy, and wcsrchr for
+  powerpc POWER7.  Implemented by Will Schmidt.
+
+* New configure option --disable-nscd builds the C library such that it
+  never attempts to contact the Name Service Caching Daemon (nscd).
+  New configure option --disable-build-nscd avoids building nscd itself;
+  this is the default if --disable-nscd is used.
+
+* The ttyname and ttyname_r functions on Linux now fall back to searching for
+  the tty file descriptor in /dev/pts or /dev if /proc is not available.  This
+  allows creation of chroots without the procfs mounted on /proc.
