 Version 2.3.2
 
+* Thread-safe interfaces for many functions that access locale data
+  were added in version 2.3, but these features were omitted from NEWS.
+  Many functions have variants with an `_l' suffix that take a `locale_t'
+  object as a parameter rather than consulting the current locale.
+  The new functions `newlocale', `duplocale', and `freelocale' in <locale.h>
+  create and maintain `locale_t' objects.  Additionally, the new function
+  `uselocale' sets "the current locale" (as used by functions not so
+  parameterized) set for an individual thread.  These features were added
+  in version 2.3, implemented by Ulrich Drepper and Roland McGrath.
+
 * The functions getresuid, getresgid, setresuid, and setresgid, which
   have long been available on Linux, are now declared in <unistd.h>
   and are now also available on the Hurd.
