fixed stack corruption bug in times(), minor header bugs, and some
error return value bugs in thread interfaces.
+
+
+
+0.7.5 - new features, major optimization, and robustness
+
+implemented POSIX timers.
+
+optimized and simplified many thread-related functions.
+
+eliminated resource leak races in thread cancellation. (almost all
+existing implementations, including glibc, have these leaks.)
+
+overhauled stdio implementation to take advantage of readv/writev for
+reduced syscall load, and improved stdio's handling of error status.
+
+added syscall header and interface for applications to use and
+greatly simplified internal system for making syscalls.
+
+strangthened tmpnam/tempnam/tmpfile filename generation and made the
+straight C functions not depend on POSIX symbols.
+
+fixed pthread cancellation ABI on i386 to match the LSB/glibc ABI
+
+better double-free handling in malloc
+
+various minor bug fixes
+
+
+
+0.7.6 - major bug fixes
+
+fixed rare but serious under-allocation bug in malloc.
+
+fixed signedness bug in strchr that prevented finding high bytes.
+
+fixed serious parsing bugs in strtold.
+
+fixed statvfs syscall (it was always failing with EINVAL).
+
+fixed race condition in set*id() functions with threads (possible
+deadlock). further audit still needed though.
+
+fseek no longer sets the stream error flag on failed seeks (this was
+wrong and broke some programs, notably GNU m4).
+
+nl_langinfo is no longer a dummy function. (the functionality was
+previously implemented but accidentally left unused).
+
+various small fixes have been made to the implementations and
+prototypes for nonstandard and obsolete functions
+
+
+
+0.7.7 - more bug fixes and program-compatibility improvements
+
+fixed floating point formatting and rounding bugs in printf.
+
+fixed broken %N$ positional argument specifiers in printf.
+
+fixed misaligned read/overread bug in strchr which could lead to
+crashes scanning tiny strings at the end of a page when the next page
+is not readable, or on archs (not yet supported) that forbid
+misaligned reads.
+
+fixed breakage of statvfs on x86_64
+
+fixed crash in getmntent_r
+
+fixed bug in POSIX timers created with NULL sigevent argument
+
+improved semaphore performance, and sem_wait is now interruptable by
+signals, as required by POSIX.
+
+added many compatibility and system-level interfaces, increasing the
+proportion of busybox that works with musl.
