| |

| |
| * Floating point math library check, --enable-newlib-hw-fp. |
| |
| *** Major changes in newlib version 1.8.1: |
| |
| * Added check for --enable-newlib-mb configure option which defines the |
| MB_CAPABLE macro. 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. |
