This release contains only bug fixes, as will future 2.3.x releases. The following bugs in version 2.3.4 are resolved in 2.3.5: 284, 592, 602, 626, 633, 640, 650, 661, 671, 681, 693, 700, 710, 719, 722, 723, 725, 726, 727, 728, 729, 730, 731, 732, 733, 734, 735, 736, 737, 738, 739, 740, 741, 742, 743, 744, 745, 765, 767, 768, 769, 776, 777, 787, 821, 822, 823, 825 Visit http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/ for the details of each bug. 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. Please note that version 2.3.5 cannot be compiled using GCC 4 (which has not yet been released). Version 2.3.5 has only the changes necessary to fix bugs seen on production systems using 2.3.4; production systems are using the GCC 3.4 compiler. We expect to release version 2.3.6 soon, to coincide with the anticipated GCC 4.0 release. Version 2.3.6 will contain changes necessary to build with GCC 4, though we still recommend the stable GCC 3.4 version for building the stable 2.3.x versions of the GNU C Library, as that is what has been heavily tested. If you especially want to compile glibc using GCC development snapshots, then you should be working with the current development version of glibc (see http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/). That code is not yet ready for release, but already builds well with GCC 4, and fixes many new compilation warnings that you will still see in 2.3.6.

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 is the first release to include the `ports' package, which has been available via CVS since version 2.3.4 was released. This add-on package contains code supporting machines and operating systems maintained only by volunteers, not as part of the core glibc maintenance effort. It presently contains some disused code for abandoned ports that worked many years ago, as well as the Linux/AM33 port contributed by Alexandre Oliva. You do not need this package unless you are using AM33, or working on a new port of glibc yourself.
