Kain, +along with PORTING guide. source tree layout and build system have +been improved to accommodate further ports. + +various bugs that were introduced while making the headers respect C +and POSIX namespace standards have been fixed. conformance to the +standards has been improved. + +fixed an inefficiency in qsort that triggered a bug (occasionaly +internal compiler error) in some versions of gcc. + +fixed a major bug in the printf %n specifier that prevented it from +working and caused memory corruption. |
