@@ -529,3 +529,180 @@ bug fixes:
 - scanf and strtod wrongly treating "0.00000000001", etc. as 0
 - many bugs in towupper/towlower (never seriously tested before)
 - int8_t definition was wrong when gcc -funsigned-char was used

+- better formula for acos use in i386 asm
+
+bug fixes:
+- large (up to a few %) errors in strtod for certain values due to bug

+
+
+
+0.9.1 release notes

+- character matching bug in regex on ARM: WCHAR_MAX was assumed to be signed
+- various obscure fixes related to signals and pthread cancellation
+- remquot subnormal remainder bug
+- buggy macros in (nonstandard) sys/param.h
+- major bug in pthread barriers on x86_64 (out of bounds write)
+- utimes (legacy) function was making wrong syscall (utime instead of utimes)

+- broken strrchr(str, 0)
+- broken mbsinit(0)
+- broken wcsncmp
+- syntax error in nextafter macro in tgmath.h
+- missing support for -pie in musl-gcc wrapper
+- abort could wrongly fail to terminate the program in some cases
+
+compatibility:
+- increase default thread stack size to 80k
+- support _BSD_SOURCE feature test macro
+- support _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE feature test macro (merely exposes alt names)
+- lots of legacy-compatibility improvements in headers
+- various minor GNU extension functions
+- sysconf reporting number of available CPUs/cores
+- various LSB/glibc ABI interfaces aimed at compatibility with some binaries
+- use fistpll asm mnemonic instead of fistpq for compat with clang
