Let us hope for a more peacef= ul 2024. We follow for the upcoming glibc 2.39 the same schedule as usual. =2D January 1-11, "slushy ABI freeze" * No new ABI additions. * ABI corrections should be reviewed, RM approval not required. * Avoid any changes that require action by the ports (including all that require ulps regeneration) * Bug fixes. * Monday patch review switches to reviewing critical bug list and ABI issues. The planning section of our 2.39 wiki page lists at the moment the followin= g items: https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.39#Planning * Release blockers - Revert to original qsort implementation and apply subsequent mergesort = changes with heapsort as fallback. Attempts to make changes to qsort have shown deep application depen= dencies on undocumented behaviour. In order to preserver application compatibility we need to revert t= he less conservative changes. It would be good to revert to the original known state and then cop= y in some of the final changes.=20 - AArch64 SME support https://patchwork.sourceware.org/project/glibc/list= /?series=3D28136=20 * Desirable this release? - Add clone3 support for multiple architectures (mips and arm missing) - Remove ia64-linux-gnu - Implement C23 =20 Please update what is in the meantime done / obsolete / ..., ideally with l= inks to the commits or bugs. What else should we add here that still needs to go into 2.39? =2D January 12-31, "hard ABI freeze" * Noncritical bug fixes. * No ABI changes without RM discussion. * High risk bug fixes should be discussed on the list. =2D February 1 * glibc 2.39 release If you have any comments or objections, please reply to the list. =20 Cheers, Andreas =2D-=20 Andreas K.
