Multibyte support for JIS, SJIS, and EUC-JP implemented. + +* Reduced code size for libm modules. + +* Replaced the BSD malloc with Doug Lea's malloc. + +*** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.0: + +* Added simulated signal handling functions _raise_r, _signal_r, raise, and + signal except for sparc-sun-sunos*, i[3456]86-*-sco*, and a29k-*-* systems, + which already provide access to signal. The signal functionality provided + does not interact with hardware generated signals. + +* Added reentrant function rand_r from POSIX.1c. + +* Removed _asctime, _next, _scanpoint, and _signgam fields from struct + _reent. These are no longer necessary since there are now functions + that explictly support multiple threads (asctime_r, ctime_r, gamma_r, + gmtime_r, lgamma_r, localtime_r, rand_r, & strtok_r). + + +*** Major changes in newlib version 1.7.0: + +* Cross compiler target libraries are now built in a subdir of the top level + build directory. + + Old way: build + /newlib + /m68020 + /m68881 + New way: + build + /m68k-coff + /m68020 + /m68881 + + where m68020 and m68881 are multilib subdirectories + +* m68k targets support --disable options to avoid building unwanted versions + of the libraries. + + --disable-softfloat - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -msoft-float + --disable-m68881 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68881 + --disable-m68000 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68000 + --disable-m68020 - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68020 + + These options have *no* effect on the default libraries, so if the default + is -m68020, --disable-m68020 is nilpotent. + +* Reentrancy support in libm removed. + +* strtok, strtol, strtoul, assert, div, ldiv, qsort, vfprintf + replaced with NetBSD versions. + +* Support for systems with 32 bit "doubles" added. + +* unctrl added. + +* dtoa.c updated from master dtoa.c soruces (netlib.att.com) + +* Various bug fixes. + +*** Major changes in newlib version 1.6.1: + +* Added reentrant functions (asctime_r, ctime_r, gmtime_r, localtime_r, +and strtok_r) from POSIX.1c. + +* Removed _asctime_r and _strtok_r functions. -- cgit v1.1
