5*** Major changes in newlib version 1.9.0:
6
7* i[3456]86-pc-linux support
8
9* Long Double I/O support via the WANT_IO_LONG_DBL flag
10
11* addition of reentrant environment functions
12
13* addition of xscale and AVR platforms
14
15* severe reduction in the number of warnings issued
16

19*** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.2:
20
21* RTEMS features and fixes from Joel Sherrill.
22
23* More work on reentrant routines.
24
25* Floating point math library check, --enable-newlib-hw-fp.
26
27*** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.1:
28
29* Added check for --enable-newlib-mb configure option which defines the
30 MB_CAPABLE macro. Multibyte support for JIS, SJIS, and EUC-JP implemented.
31
32* Reduced code size for libm modules.
33
34* Replaced the BSD malloc with Doug Lea's malloc.
35
36*** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.0:
37
38* Added simulated signal handling functions _raise_r, _signal_r, raise, and
39 signal except for sparc-sun-sunos*, i[3456]86-*-sco*, and a29k-*-* systems,
40 which already provide access to signal. The signal functionality provided
41 does not interact with hardware generated signals.
42
43* Added reentrant function rand_r from POSIX.1c.
44
45* Removed _asctime, _next, _scanpoint, and _signgam fields from struct
46 _reent. These are no longer necessary since there are now functions
47 that explictly support multiple threads (asctime_r, ctime_r, gamma_r,
48 gmtime_r, lgamma_r, localtime_r, rand_r, & strtok_r).

51*** Major changes in newlib version 1.7.0:
52
53* Cross compiler target libraries are now built in a subdir of the top level
54 build directory.
55
56 Old way: build
57 /newlib
58 /m68020
59 /m68881
60 New way:
61 build
62 /m68k-coff
63 /m68020
64 /m68881
65
66 where m68020 and m68881 are multilib subdirectories
67
68* m68k targets support --disable options to avoid building unwanted versions
69 of the libraries.
70
71 --disable-softfloat - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -msoft-float
72 --disable-m68881 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68881
73 --disable-m68000 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68000
74 --disable-m68020 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68020
75
76 These options have *no* effect on the default libraries, so if the default
77 is -m68020, --disable-m68020 is nilpotent.
78
79* Reentrancy support in libm removed.
80
81* strtok, strtol, strtoul, assert, div, ldiv, qsort, vfprintf
82 replaced with NetBSD versions.
83
84* Support for systems with 32 bit "doubles" added.
85
86* unctrl added.
87
88* dtoa.c updated from master dtoa.c soruces (netlib.att.com)
89
90* Various bug fixes.
91
92*** Major changes in newlib version 1.6.1:
93
94* Added reentrant functions (asctime_r, ctime_r, gmtime_r, localtime_r,
95and strtok_r) from POSIX.1c.
96
97* Removed _asctime_r and _strtok_r functions.
