Coverage for more optional parts of POSIX including the thread priority scheduling option and stubs for unsupported functionality. Dynamic linker dl_iterate_phdr support. Various minor bugs and strict conformance issues have also been fixed and application compatibility improved. http://www.musl-libc.org/releases/musl-0.9.8.tar.gz As a post-release agenda, I'd like to first address things that have been in demand lately: - Proper MIPS softfloat support - x32 port - ether.h interfaces - %m modifier for scanf - Affinity/cpuset stuff And I have a few agenda items of my own: - Self-synchronized destruction of FILE streams (same issue all synchronization objects have had with self-synchronized destruction -- unlocking thread may not access memory after the destroying thread already got the lock). - Making stdio functions cancellable while waiting for locks. - Getting strace & gdb working properly with minimal patching. That's about it..hopefully the next release cycle won't take so long. Rich
