This release fixes many bugs, and adds a few features. See the NEWS file in the distribution for details. For information on reporting bugs in the GNU C Library, see: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/bugs.html Be advised that updating the C library is no trivial task and it is very easy to damage one's system. Unless you are participating in the development and maintenance of the C library, you should use a binary distribution instead. The code in this release has already been built and tested by maintainers of GNU/Linux and GNU/Hurd binary distributions basing their systems on it. We anticipate that future 2.3.x releases of the GNU C Library will be stable releases primarily for bug fixes, and probably will not contain new features or interfaces. New development continues in parallel with the stable maintenance track, and 2.4.x releases will begin when that code is ready.

To build a configuration supporting only Linux 2.6 kernels or to build for GNU/Hurd, the package is not required. The main glibc-2.3.4 release package contains the Native POSIX Threads Library (NPTL) contributed by Ulrich Drepper, which supports Linux 2.6 kernels only. This release like all others was made possible by the contributions of many people. We are very grateful to all of them, and chief among those are: Ulrich Drepper Jakub Jelinek Richard Henderson Andreas Jaeger Paolo Bonzini Andreas Schwab Steven Munroe Thorsten Kukuk Kaz Kojima H.J.
