It says : GNU C Library NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. 2008-7-27 Copyright (C) 1992-2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the end for copying conditions. Please send GNU C library bug reports via <http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/> using `glibc' in the "product" field. Version 2.9 * 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, paccept, dup3, epoll_create2, pipe2 * Implement "e" option for popen to open file descriptor with the close-on-exec flag set * Many functions, exported and internal, now atomically set the close-on-exec flag when run on a sufficiently new kernel. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. Version 2.8 * New locales: bo_CN, bo_IN, shs_CA. * New encoding: HP-ROMAN9, HP-GREEK8, HP-THAI8, HP-TURKISH8. * Sorting rules for some Indian languages (Devanagari and Gujarati). Implemented by Pravin Satpute. * IPV6 addresses in /etc/resolv.conf can now have a scope ID * nscd caches now all timeouts for DNS entries Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * nscd is more efficient and wakes up less often. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * More checking functions: asprintf, dprintf, obstack_printf, vasprintf, vdprintf, and obstack_vprintf. Implemented by Jakub Jelinek. * Faster memset for x86-64. Implemented by Harsha Jagasia and H.J. Lu. * Faster memcpy on x86. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * ARG_MAX is not anymore constant on Linux. Use sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX). Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * Faster sqrt and sqrtf implemention for some PPC variants. Implemented by Stephen Munroe. Version 2.7 * More checking functions: fread, fread_unlocked, open*, mq_open. Implemented by Jakub Jelinek and Ulrich Drepper. * Extend fortification to C++. Implemented by Jakub Jelinek. * Implement 'm' modifier for scanf. Add stricter C99/SUS compliance by not recognizing 'a' as a modifier when those specs are requested. Implemented by Jakub Jelinek. * PPC optimizations to math and string functions. Implemented by Steven Munroe. * New interfaces: mkostemp, mkostemp64. Like mkstemp* but allow additional options to be passed. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * More CPU set manipulation functions. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * New Linux interfaces: signalfd, eventfd, eventfd_read, and eventfd_write. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * Handle private futexes in the NPTL implementation. Implemented by Jakub Jelinek and Ulrich Drepper. * Add support for O_CLOEXEC. Implement in Hurd. Use throughout libc. Implemented by Roland McGrath and Ulrich Drepper. * Linux/x86-64 vDSO support. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * SHA-256 and SHA-512 based password encryption. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. * New locales: ber_DZ, ber_MA, en_NG, fil_PH, fur_IT, fy_DE, ha_NG, ig_NG, ik_CA, iu_CA, li_BE, li_NL, nds_DE, nds_NL, pap_AN, sc_IT, tk_TM, ug_CN, yo_NG. + New iconv modules: MAC-CENTRALEUROPE, ISO-8859-9E, KOI8-RU. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. Version 2.6 * New Linux interfaces: epoll_pwait, sched_getcpu. * New generic interfaces: strerror_l. * nscd can now cache the services database. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper. etc etc etc Dennis
