100
*** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.2:
101
 
102
* RTEMS features and fixes from Joel Sherrill.
103
 
104
* More work on reentrant routines.
105
 
106
* Floating point math library check, --enable-newlib-hw-fp.
107
 
108
*** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.1:
109
 
110
* Added check for --enable-newlib-mb configure option which defines the
111
  MB_CAPABLE macro.  Multibyte support for JIS, SJIS, and EUC-JP implemented.
112
 
113
* Reduced code size for libm modules.
114
 
115
* Replaced the BSD malloc with Doug Lea's malloc.
116
 
117
*** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.0:
118
 
119
* Added simulated signal handling functions _raise_r, _signal_r, raise, and
120
  signal except for sparc-sun-sunos*, i[3456]86-*-sco*, and a29k-*-* systems,
121
  which already provide access to signal.  The signal functionality provided
122
  does not interact with hardware generated signals.
123
 
124
* Added reentrant function rand_r from POSIX.1c.
125
 
126
* Removed _asctime, _next, _scanpoint, and _signgam fields from struct
127
  _reent.  These are no longer necessary since there are now functions
128
  that explictly support multiple threads (asctime_r, ctime_r, gamma_r,
129
  gmtime_r, lgamma_r, localtime_r, rand_r, & strtok_r).
130
 
131
 
132
*** Major changes in newlib version 1.7.0:
133
 
134
* Cross compiler target libraries are now built in a subdir of the top level
135
  build directory.
136
 
137
  Old way: build
138
                /newlib
139
                       /m68020
140
                              /m68881
141
  New way:
142
           build
143
                /m68k-coff
144
                          /m68020
145
                                 /m68881
146
 
147
  where m68020 and m68881 are multilib subdirectories
148
 
149
* m68k targets support --disable options to avoid building unwanted versions
150
  of the libraries.
151
 
152
  --disable-softfloat - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -msoft-float
153
  --disable-m68881    - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68881
154
  --disable-m68000    - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68000
155
  --disable-m68020    - don't build libc, libg++, etc. for -m68020
156
 
157
  These options have *no* effect on the default libraries, so if the default
158
  is -m68020, --disable-m68020 is nilpotent.
159
 
160
* Reentrancy support in libm removed.
161
 
162
* strtok, strtol, strtoul, assert, div, ldiv, qsort, vfprintf
163
  replaced with NetBSD versions.
164
 
165
* Support for systems with 32 bit "doubles" added.
166
 
167
* unctrl added.
168
 
169
* dtoa.c updated from master dtoa.c soruces (netlib.att.com)
170
 
171
* Various bug fixes.
172
 
173
*** Major changes in newlib version 1.6.1:
174
 
175
* Added reentrant functions (asctime_r, ctime_r, gmtime_r, localtime_r,
176
and strtok_r) from POSIX.1c.
177
 
178
* Removed _asctime_r and _strtok_r functions.
