@ -915,3 +915,46 @@ arch-specific bugs fixed:
- 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)
