-Version 2.5
-
-* For Linux, the sorting of addresses returned by getaddrinfo now also
- handles rules 3, 4, and 7 from RFC 3484. I.e., all rules are handled.
- Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
-
-* Allow system admin to configure getaddrinfo with the /etc/gai.conf file.
- Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
-
-* New Linux interfaces: splice, tee, sync_file_range, vmsplice.
-
-* New iconv module for MIK. Contributed by Alexander Shopov.
-
-* For sites with broken group and/or passwd database, the auto-propagate
- option of nscd can prevent creating ID lookup entries from the results
- of a name lookup and vice versa. This usually is no problem but some
- site might have problems with the default behavior.
- Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
-
-* Iterating over entire database in NIS can be slow. With the
- SETENT_BATCH_READ option in /etc/default/nss a system admin can decide
- to trade time for memory. The entire database will be read at once.
- Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
-
-* The interfaces introduced in RFC 3542 have been implemented by
- Ulrich Drepper.
-
-* Support for the new ELF hash table format was added by Ulrich Drepper.
-
-* Support for priority inheritance mutexes added by Jakub Jelinek and
- Ulrich Drepper.
-
-* Support for priority protected mutexes added by Jakub Jelinek.
-
-* New locales: nr_ZA, pa_PK, ca_AD, ca_FR, ca_IT, el_CY, tr_CY, as_IN,
- or_IN, csb_PL, fy_NL, sr_ME.
-
-Version 2.4
-
-* More overflow detection functions.
-
-* New iconv converters for IBM1025, IBM1122, IBM1137, IBM1153,
- IBM1154, IBM1155, IBM1156, IBM1157, and IBM1158 contributed by Jiro Sekiba.
-
- More converters for IBM803, IBM901, IBM902, IBM921, IBM1008, IBM1097,
- IBM1112, IBM1123, IBM1130, IBM1140, IBM1141, IBM1142, IBM1143, IBM1144,
- IBM1145, IBM1146, IBM1147, IBM1148, IBM1149, IBM1166, IBM1167, IBM4517,
- IBM4899, IBM4909, IBM4971, IBM5347, IBM9030, IBM9066, IBM9448, IBM12712,
- IBM16804, IBM1364, IBM1371, IBM1388, IBM1390, and IBM1399 contributed
- by Masahide Washizawa.
-
-* It is now possible to install audit libraries for the dynamic linker using
- LD_AUDIT. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
-
-* The LinuxThreads add-on, providing pthreads on Linux 2.4 kernels, is no
- longer supported. The new NPTL implementation requires Linux 2.6 kernels.
- For a libc and libpthread that works well on Linux 2.4 kernels, we
- recommend using the stable 2.3 branch.
-
-* The new function open_wmemstream acts like open_memstream,
- but uses a wchar_t wide character buffer.
-
-* The new function ppoll is an improved version of poll, similar to pselect.
-
-* New interfaces: fdopendir, openat, fstatat, fchmodat, fchownat,
- futimesat, faccessat, mkdirat, mkfifoat, mknodat,
- renameat, unlinkat, linkat, symlinkat, readlinkat.
-
-* New Linux kernel system calls: unshare,
- inotify_init, inotify_add_watch, inotify_rm_watch.
-
-* The euidaccess function is now also known by the alias eaccess,
- for compatibility with some other systems.
-
-* Timezone data updated to 2006b version.
-
