The tree is not yet tagged, I'm waiting a short while to see whether there are any brown bag bugs to fix. The code has been extensively tested as part of Red Hat's rawhide development. There is one known potential problem with the name resolving which has been extensively changed. Under some circumstance (always involving broken servers) requests are not completely processed. Often a second call fixes the problem. This might be fixed in the latest code, maybe not. Unfortunately no reported has been able or willing to provide the information needed to track down the problem. Anyway, the user-visible change for this release include: * Unified lookup for getaddrinfo: IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are now looked up at the same time. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * TLS descriptors for LD and GD on x86 and x86-64. Implemented by Alexandre Oliva. * getaddrinfo now handles DCCP and UDPlite. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * New fixed-size conversion macros: htobe16, htole16, be16toh, le16toh, htobe32, htole32, be32toh, le32toh, htobe64, htole64, be64toh, le64toh. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * New implementation of memmem, strstr, and strcasestr which is O(n). Implemented by Eric Blake. * New Linux interfaces: inotify_init1, dup3, epoll_create1, pipe2 * Implement "e" option for popen to open file descriptor with the close-on-exec flag set. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * Implement "b" mode for fmemopen. In this mode writes writes don't implicitly add a NUL byte and seeks from the end of the buffer really use the buffer end, not the string length as the basis. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * Many functions, exported and internal, now atomically set the close-on-exec flag when run on a sufficiently new kernel. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * Sorting rules for some Indian languages (Kannada, Gurumukhi, Telugu, Sinhala) Implemented by Pravin Satpute. * New locales: sd_IN, sd_IN@devanagari, ks_IN@devanagari, ht_HT, en_AG, nl_AW. - -- =E2=9E=A7 Ulrich Drepper =E2=9E=A7 Red Hat, Inc. =E2=9E=A7 444 Castro St = =E2=9E=A7 Mountain View, CA =E2=9D=96 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkkcsxcACgkQ2ijCOnn/RHRPbACfYhFjEZZBWW0mDoXRM0VNR4xR CdsAn2I2E2e4L06faT2IMPUqaAEOePqC =3DJc1I -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ----- End forwarded message ----- --=20 Regards, Kirill A.
