* Fri Nov 13 2009 pbaudis@suse.cz
- Upgrade to Git HEAD as of 20091105 - glibc-2.11-13f6812ffb5b:
* New interfaces: execvpe, pthread_sigqueue, mkstemps, mkstemps64, mkostemps,
mkostemps64
Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
* Checking version of longjmp added that fails if an uninitialized stack
frame would be created. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
* STT_GNU_IFUNC is now supported in static executables.
Implemented by H.J. Lu.
* STT_GNU_IFUNC implemented for PPC by Alan Modra.
* New optimized string functions for x86-64: strstr, strcasestr, memcmp,
strcspn, strpbrk, strspn, strcpy, stpcpy, strncpy, strcmp (SSE2, SSE4.2),
strncmp (SSE2, SSE4.2), strchr (SSE4.2), strrchr (SSE4.2).
Contributed by H.J. Lu.
strlen, rawmemchr, strcmp (SSSE3), strncmp (SSSE3).
Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
* New optimized string functions for x86: strlen, strcspn, strspn, strpbrk,
strstr, strcasestr.
Contributed by H.J. Lu.

necessity is every process again.

Implemented by Adam Tkac.

- make patch0 usage consistent
* Thu Aug 20 2009 pbaudis@suse.cz

* DNS IPv4-IPv6 lookup changed back to parallel version; with broken DNS
servers (the case e.g. for many ADSL users), you may experience long
timeouts, once for each process (but eventually your request will be
resolved) - the solution is to run nscd (default on SUSE) and/or
put 'options single-request' in /etc/resolv.conf.

Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.

Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
* Support for selecting between multiple function definitions at runtime
using STT_GNU_IFUNC symbols. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
* The libcrypt library can now use the hash function implementations in
NSS. Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.

but higher performing in multi-threaded programs.
Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
* New locales: nan_TW@latin, ks_IN
* Faster strlen, strchr, strchrnul, strrchr, memchr, and rawmemchr for x86-64.

and extend existing format specifiers.
Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
* Handling for group shadow files has been added.
Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
