+Version 2.39
+
+Major new features:
+
+* A new tunable, glibc.cpu.plt_rewrite, can be used to enable PLT
+ rewrite on x86-64. When enabled with non-lazy binding, the dynamic
+ linker will rewrite indirect branches in PLT with direct branches.
+
+* Sync with Linux kernel 6.6 shadow stack interface. The --enable-cet
+ configure option is only supported on x86-64.
+
+* struct statvfs now has an f_type member, equal to the f_type statfs member;
+ on the Hurd this was always available under a reserved name,
+ and under Linux a spare has been allocated: it was always zero
+ in previous versions of glibc, and zero is not a valid result.
+
+* On Linux, the functions posix_spawnattr_getcgroup_np and
+ posix_spawnattr_setcgroup_np have been added, along with the
+ POSIX_SPAWN_SETCGROUP flag. They allow posix_spawn and posix_spawnp
+ to set the cgroupv2 in the new process in a race-free manner. These
+ functions are GNU extensions and require a kernel with clone3 support.
+
+* On Linux, the pidfd_spawn and pidfd_spawp functions have been added.
+ They have a similar prototype and semantic as posix_spawn, but instead of
+ returning a process ID, they return a file descriptor that can be used
+ along other pidfd functions (like pidfd_send_signal, poll, or waitid).
+ The pidfd functionality avoids the issue of PID reuse with the traditional
+ posix_spawn interface.
+
+* On Linux, the pidfd_getpid function has been added. It allows retrieving
+ the process ID associated with the process file descriptor created by
+ pid_spawn, fork_np, or pidfd_open.
+
+* scanf-family functions now support the wN format length modifiers for
+ arguments pointing to types intN_t, int_leastN_t, uintN_t or
+ uint_leastN_t (for example, %w32d to read int32_t or int_least32_t in
+ decimal, or %w32x to read uint32_t or uint_least32_t in hexadecimal)
+ and the wfN format length modifiers for arguments pointing to types
+ int_fastN_t or uint_fastN_t, as specified in draft ISO C2X.
+
+* A new tunable, glibc.mem.decorate_maps, can be used to add additional
+ information on underlying memory allocated by the glibc (for instance,
+ on thread stack created by pthread_create or memory allocated by
+ malloc).
+
+* The <stdbit.h> header has been added from ISO C2X, with
+ stdc_leading_zeros, stdc_leading_ones, stdc_trailing_zeros,
+ stdc_trailing_ones, stdc_first_leading_zero, stdc_first_leading_one,
+ stdc_first_trailing_zero, stdc_first_trailing_one, stdc_count_zeros,
+ stdc_count_ones, stdc_has_single_bit, stdc_bit_width, stdc_bit_floor
+ and stdc_bit_ceil function families, each having functions for
+ unsigned char, unsigned short, unsigned int, unsigned long int and
+ unsigned long long int, and a type-generic macro.
+
+* On AArch64 new symbols were added to libmvec and now math.h has
+ annotations to allow GCC 9 or newer to auto-vectorize calls to the
+ following scalar math functions when -ffast-math is specified:
+ acos, acosf, asin, asinf, atan, atanf, atan2, atan2f, cos, cosf,
+ exp, expf, exp10, exp10f, exp2, exp2f, expm1, expm1f, log, logf,
+ log10, log10f, log1p, log1pf, log2, log2f, sin, sinf, tan, tanf.
+
+Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
+
+* The ldconfig program now skips file names containing ';' or ending in
+ ".dpkg.tmp" or ".dpkg.new", to avoid examining temporary files created
+ by the RPM and dpkg package managers.
+
+* libcrypt has been removed from the GNU C Library. The configure
+ options "--enable-crypt" and "--enable-nss-crypt" are no longer
+ available. <crypt.h>, libcrypt.a, and libcrypt.so.1 will not be
+ installed. For now <unistd.h> continues to declare the crypt
+ function by default, to avoid introducing vulnerabilities into
+ existing applications due to a missing prototype. This declaration
+ is deprecated and may be removed in a future glibc release.
+
+ The replacement for libcrypt is libxcrypt, maintained separately from
+ GNU libc, but available under compatible licensing terms, and providing
+ binary backward compatibility with the former libcrypt. It is currently
+ distributed from <https://github.com/besser82/libxcrypt/>.
+
+ As a consequence of this removal, GNU libc no longer makes any use of
+ the NSS cryptography library (Network Security Services; not to be
+ confused with Name Service Switch). Distributors of binary packages
+ of GNU libc are advised to check whether their build processes can be
+ simplified.
+
+* The dynamic linker calls the malloc and free functions in more cases
+ during TLS access if a shared object with dynamic TLS is loaded and
+ unloaded. This can result in an infinite recursion if a malloc
+ replacement library or its dependencies use dynamic TLS instead of
+ initial-exec TLS.
+
+* The ia64*-*-linux-gnu configurations are no longer supported.
+
+Changes to build and runtime requirements:
+
+* Building on LoongArch requires at a minimum binutils 2.41 for vector
+ instructions.
+
+Security related changes:
+
+The following CVEs were fixed in this release, details of which can be
+found in the advisories directory of the release tarball:

Version 2.38
Major new features:
wcstoull_l, wcstoimax, wcstoumax, wcstoq, wcstouq. Similarly, the
following functions support binary integers prefixed by 0b or 0B as
input to the %i format: fscanf, scanf, sscanf, vscanf, vsscanf,
- vfscanf, fwscanf, wscanf, swscanf, vfwscanf, vwscanf, vswscanf.
+ vfscanf, fwscanf, wscanf, swscanf, vfwscanf, vwscanf, vswscanf; those
+ functions also support the %b format for binary integers, with or
+ without such a prefix and independent of standards mode.
-* PRIb* and PRIB* macros from C2X have been added to <inttypes.h>.
+* PRIb*, PRIB* and SCNb* macros from C2X have been added to
+ <inttypes.h>.
+
+* printf-family functions now support the wN format length modifiers for
+ arguments of type intN_t, int_leastN_t, uintN_t or uint_leastN_t (for
+ example, %w32d to print int32_t or int_least32_t in decimal, or %w32x
+ to print uint32_t or uint_least32_t in hexadecimal) and the wfN format
+ length modifiers for arguments of type int_fastN_t or uint_fastN_t, as
+ specified in draft ISO C2X.
* A new tunable, glibc.pthread.stack_hugetlb, can be used to disable
Transparent Huge Pages (THP) in stack allocation at pthread_create.
- x86_64-gnu
-* Added libmvec vector math library support to AArch64. It requires
- GCC version >= 10.1.0. It can be disabled via --disable-mathvec,
- however that is not a supported configuration as it changes the ABI.
- The symbol names follow the AArch64 vector ABI, they are declared
- in math.h and have to be called manually at this point.

+ it changes the ABI. The symbol names follow the AArch64 vector ABI,
+ they are declared in math.h and have to be called manually at this point.
+
+* The strlcpy and strlcat functions have been added. They are derived
+ from OpenBSD, and are expected to be added to a future POSIX version.
+
+* A new configure option, "--enable-fortify-source", can be used to build the
+ GNU C Library with _FORTIFY_SOURCE. The level of fortification can either be
+ provided, or is set to the highest value supported by the compiler. If not
+ explicitly enabled, then fortify source is forcibly disabled so to keep
+ original behavior unchanged.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
+* libcrypt is no longer built by default; one may use the "--enable-crypt"
+ option to build libcrypt. libcrypt is likely to be removed from the
+ GNU C Library in a future release, so it is recommended that
+ applications port away from it to an alternative such as libxcrypt.
+
* In the Linux kernel for the hppa/parisc architecture some of the
MADV_XXX constants were changed to have the same values as the other
architectures. New programs compiled with this glibc version and which
alternatively stable kernels from versions 6.1.6, 5.15.87, 5.10.163,
5.4.228, 4.19.270 or 4.14.303.
-* The --disable-experimental-malloc is no longer available. The per-thread
- cache can still be disable per-application using tunables
+* The "--disable-experimental-malloc" option is no longer available. The
+ per-thread cache can still be disabled per-application using tunables
(glibc.malloc.tcache_count set to zero).
-* The configure option --enable-tunables has been removed. The tunable
+* The configure option "--enable-tunables" has been removed. The tunable
feature is now always enabled.
Changes to build and runtime requirements:
- [Add changes to build and runtime requirements here]
+* Building libmvec on AArch64 requires at a minimum GCC 10.1.0 for SVE
+ ACLE.
