-This directory contains the version 2.5 release of the GNU C Library.
+This directory contains the version 2.7 release of the GNU C Library.
The GNU C Library is the standard system C library for all GNU systems,
and is an important part of what makes up a GNU system. It provides the
implement the operating system behavior seen by user applications.
In GNU/Hurd systems, it works with a microkernel and Hurd servers.
-Version 2.4 is the first release after a long period of development, and
-introduces changes to the API and a new ABI for all configurations. It
-has been tested and deployed in new production systems, but should still
-be considered somewhat experimental. The stable 2.3 release series
-continues to be maintained, and implements a widely-deployed ABI.
-Version 2.3.6 is available, and we will release 2.3.7 with more bug fixes.

The GNU C Library implements much of the POSIX.1 functionality in the
GNU/Hurd system, using configurations i[34567]86-*-gnu.
The code for other CPU configurations supported by volunteers outside of
the core glibc maintenance effort is contained in the separate `ports'
-add-on. You can find glibc-ports-2.5 distributed separately in the
+add-on. You can find glibc-ports-2.7 distributed separately in the
same place where you got the main glibc distribution files.
Currently these configurations are known to work using the `ports' add-on:
