+
+0.9.10 release notes
+
+new features:
+- getifaddrs
+- pthread_getattr_np (widely used by garbage collectors)
+- mkostemps, mkostemp, mkstemps functions (mkostemp is future-POSIX)
+- strcasestr and strverscmp (previously stubs)
+
+improvements:
+- major performance improvements in mbtowc
+- avoid filling caller-provided thread stacks with large TLS
+- debloat unnecessary static buffers
+- robust posix_spawn based on CLONE_VM instead of vfork
+- new system() and popen() based on posix_spawn
+- better strerror strings
+- further emulation of atomic close-on-exec/nonblock options for old kernels
+- provide macro constants for new-ish kernel features
+
+compatibility:
+- several nonstandard but widely-available pwd/grp/shadow functions
+- program_invocation_[short_]name
+- re-added useconds_t type used by some programs
+- some legacy arpa headers
+- dn_skipname function (legacy resolver API)
+- additional ABI aliases for supporting glibc-linked libraries/binaries
+
+general bugs fixed:
+- stale locks and bogus munmap call when pthread_create fails
+- uninitialized argument to munmap when dynlink load_library fails
+- incorrect error returns in gethostby*_r
+- memory leak in gethostbyname family
+- blank ai_canonname in getaddrinfo for non-CNAME records
+- undefined HZ macro in scsi/sg.h
+- wrong return value for wmemmove on forward-copy
+- namespace conformance in strings.h
+- various utmp.h bugs
+- unnecessary DT_SONAME in libc.so caused problems on some systems
+- multiple bugs in syslog, some possibly dangerous
+- non-functional setpriority function
+- slight mishandling of 0xf5 byte in UTF-8 decoder
+- misaligned memory accesses in mbsrtowcs
+
+arch-specific bugs fixed:
+- crash in shared library loading on arm
+- missing __aeabi_atexit needed by arm eabi
+- wrong float_t definition on x86_64
+- various low-impact type size/alignment mismatches in some headers
+- epoll struct alignment wrong on non-x86[_64] archs
+- broken pipe2 fallback code on mips with old kernels
+
+
+
+0.9.11 release notes
+
+new features:
+- %m allocation modifier for scanf
+- week number and ISO week-based-year functionality in strftime
+- per-process and per-thread cputime clocks
+- ethernet address conversion interfaces
+- legacy classful ipv4 network address interfaces
+- minimal dlinfo function (nonstandard)
+
+other improvements:
+- dynamic linker path file can now use newlines to separate paths
+- math optimizations for archs with extended precision (i386)
+- musl-gcc wrapper now exposes gcc's intrinsic headers
+- quality of rand and rand_r pseudo-random sequences
+- support for large device minor numbers (greater than 8 bits)
+- various header conformance and compatibility fixes
+
+directly user-visible bugs fixed:
+- scanf losing characters on unbuffered streams and fmemopen streams
+- failure of mbsrtowcs to record stop position when dest is full
+- failure of iconv to convert to legacy codepages
+- non-working pthread_[sg]etschedparam functions (wrong syscall arguments)
+
+other potentially-serious bugs fixed:
+- resource leaks in sem_open
+- various bugs in thread exit synchronization
+- invalid access in aio notification after aiocb free/reuse
+- synchronization in dynamic linker when new thread dlopens during ctors
+- lack of error handling for failure to read dynamic linker path file
+- creation by mmap or shmget of objects larger than PTRDIFF_MAX
+
+minor conformance bugs fixed:
+- overflow handling for the clock function
+- workaround for incorrect exceptions in fma due to compiler bugs
+- workaround wrong kernel type for sem_nsems field in struct semid_ds
+
+arch-specific bugs fixed:
+- x86_64 sigsetjmp clobbered the signal mask rather than saving it
+- misaligned stack when calling ctors/dtors (crashing on x86_64)
