[Ulrich Drepper <drepper@cygnus.com>] glibc 2.1.2pre3



2.1.2pre3 is out - please send reports to
libc-alpha@sourceware.cygnus.com.

Andreas



I've uploaded the third prerelease for glibc 2.1.2 to

	ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/glibc
and
	ftp://ftp.XX.kernel.org/pub/software/libs/glibc

(where XX is your country code).  It soon will also be available on

	ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libc

There you will find the files

	glibc-2.1.2pre3.tar.gz
	glibc-linuxthreads-2.1.2pre3.tar.gz

and possibly .bz2 versions.  There is no new crypt add-on, still use
the version released with glibc 2.1.


Since 2.1.2pre2 we've added lots of changes, especially a number of
patches went in which correct problems with threads.  If no problems
are reported I'll make a final 2.1.2 release soon.


So, now is your chance to avoid releasing a buggy version.  The
feedback I got for the last prereleases was lousy at best.  It might
even be that this version does not even compile on some platforms.


I only have easy access to an x86 and Arm machine (well, there is the
HP but HPPA/Linux does not yet work).  So you have to do the tests for
other platforms yourself or put one of the machines you care about
under my desk.

So, test this version and send feedback to libc-alpha@sourceware.cygnus.com.
