+Version 2.10
+
+* New interfaces: preadv, preadv64, pwritev, pwritev64
+  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+* New Linux interfaces: accept4, fallocate, fallocate64.
+  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+* Correct declarations of string function when used in C++ code.  This
+  could lead to compile error for invalid C++ code.
+
+* XPG7/POSIX 2008 compilation environment.  Many GNU-specific functions are
+  now in POSIX.
+
+* New POSIX 2008 interface: psiginfo
+  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+* New ISO C++1x interfaces: quick_exit, at_quick_exit
+  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.
+
+* The malloc implementation can be compiled to be less memory efficient
+  but higher performing in multi-threaded programs.
+  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+* New locale: nan_TW@latin

+* New Linux interfaces: inotify_init1, dup3, epoll_create1, pipe2
 
 * Implement "e" option for popen to open file descriptor with the
   close-on-exec flag set.  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
 
+* Implement "b" mode for fmemopen.  In this mode writes writes don't
+  implicitly add a NUL byte and seeks from the end of the buffer really
+  use the buffer end, not the string length as the basis.
+  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
 * Many functions, exported and internal, now atomically set the close-on-exec
   flag when run on a sufficiently new kernel.  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.
+
+* Sorting rules for some Indian languages (Kannada, Gurumukhi, Telugu,
+  Sinhala)
+  Implemented by Pravin Satpute.
+
+* New locales: sd_IN, sd_IN@devanagari, ks_IN@devanagari, ht_HT, en_AG, nl_AW.
