Dear freshmeat.net subscriber,

barsnick just announced version 2.12 of GNU C library on freshmeat.net.

The changes are as follows:

New interfaces pthread_getname_np and pthread_setname_np have been added, and
the new Linux interface recvmmsg has been added.  STT_GNU_IFUNC has been
implemented for SPARC.  The dynamic linker now recognizes supported ABI versions
from the EI_ABIVERSION field in the ELF header.  A new NIS mode selector
ADJUNCT_AS_SHADOW, useful for some installations involving Solaris, has been
implemented.  Three new locales have been added.  A large number of bugs and
internal improvements have been made.

Project description:

GNU C library (glibc) is one of the most important components of GNU Hurd and
most modern GNU/Linux distributions. It is used by almost all C programs and
provides the most essential APIs, including the C standard library and other
standard libraries.
