-Version 1.10
+Version 2.0
* GNU extensions are no longer declared by default. To enable them you
must define the macro `_GNU_SOURCE' in your program or compile with
* The new header file <fts.h> and suite of functions simplify programs that
operate on directory trees. This code comes from 4.4 BSD.
-* The resolver code has been updated from the BIND 4.9.3 release.
+* The resolver code has been updated from the BIND 4.9.4-T3B release.
* The new function `malloc_find_object_address' finds the starting address
of a malloc'd block, given any address within the block. This can be
* Andreas Schwab has ported the C library to Linux/m68k (m68k-*-linux).
* David Mosberger-Tang has ported the C library to Linux/Alpha (alpha-*-linux).
+ Richard Henderson contributed the dynamic linking support for ELF/Alpha.
* Ulrich Drepper has contributed a new set of message catalog functions to
- support multiple languages, for use with his new package GNU gettext.
+ support multiple languages using the <libintl.h> interface, for use with
+ his new package GNU gettext. Translation volunteers have contributed
+ catalogs of the library's messages in Spanish, German, and Korean.
+
+* For compatibility with XPG4, Ulrich Drepper has contributed the `gencat'
+ program and the `catgets' function for reading the catalog files it
+ creates. (The <libintl.h> interface is preferred; we include the
+ <nl_types.h> interface using `catgets' only for source compatibility with
+ programs already written to use it.)
* New header file <values.h> gives SVID-compatible names for <limits.h>
constants.
* New function `strnlen' is like `strlen' but searches only a given maximum
number of characters for the null terminator.
+
+* New function `statfs' in header <sys/statfs.h>.
+
+* The new <argz.h> and <envz.h> interfaces contributed by Miles Bader
+ provide convenient functions for operating on blocks of null-terminated
+ strings.
+
+* A new suite of functions in <utmp.h> handle all the details of reading
+ and writing the utmp file.
