See the release notes in WHATSNEW for details. Many new features have also been added, including deferred symbol binding in the dynamic linker (RTLD_LAZY emulation), an option to overrid argv[0] when running ldso to execute a program, support for starting new sessions via posix_spawn (POSIX_SPAWN_SETSID, accepted for standardization), and ability to query the active thread-local locale (via _NL_LOCALE_NAME extension). Improvements in compatibility with applications, build tools, and platforms have also been made. https://www.musl-libc.org/releases/musl-1.1.17.tar.gz https://www.musl-libc.org/releases/musl-1.1.17.tar.gz.asc Special thanks to musl's release sponsors (patreon.com/musl): * Justin Cormack * Jevin Sweval * Les Aker * Neal Gompa * Hurricane Labs (hurricanelabs.com) * The Midipix Project (midipix.org)
