musl 1.1.7 released

musl 1.1.7 released

[Rich Felker]

This release features support for alternate user/group database
backends via the nscd protocol, an experimental AArch64 (64-bit ARM)
port, overhauled POSIX AIO functionality that is cancellable and safe
against close, and significant memset performance improvements on
x86[_64]. The set*id() family of functions are now safer (including
async-signal safety and safety against partial privilege-retention
issues) in multi-threaded programs. Application compatibility
improvements in getaddrinfo, getopt_long, and other functions have
been made, and various additional low-impact bugs have been fixed.

And thanks goes out to musl's release sponsors: The Midipix Project
and Hurricane Labs. In case you haven't been following development,
midipix is in the process of getting the toolchain components out now
with the runtime hopefully soon to follow.
