Major changes so far: - Accepting \n in dynamic linker path file - Fixed broken x86_64 sigsetjmp - Removed wrong C++ __STDC_*_MACROS checks - Thread exit synchronization issues - Conforming overflow behavior in clock() - Support for large device numbers - Math optimizations on i386 - C11 float.h macro additions - Fixes for exceptions in fma (gcc bug workarounds) - Fix misaligned stack when running ctors/dtors - Support for %m modifier in scanf - Support for using gcc intrinsic headers with musl-gcc wrapper - PRNG fixes - Per-process and per-thread cputime clocks and new(ish) Linux clocks I think the ether.h functions could definitely still make it in for this release too. inet_makeaddr, etc. could probably also be merged. Most of the other major items left on the agenda since the last release are probably not going to happen right away unless there's a volunteer to do them (zoneinfo, cpuset/affinity, string functions cleanup, C++ ABI matching, ARM-optimized memcpy) and one, the ld.so symlink direction issue, still requires some serious discussion and decision-making. If anyone else has input for what should still go into the next release, please jump in and discuss. Rich
