@ -94,8 +94,23 @@ Major new features:
be added to the next revision of POSIX, and it is also already
available on some BSD-derived operating systems.
This feature will cause existing statically compiled applications
to fail to load locales and fall back to the builtin C/POSIX locales.
See notes below for other changes affecting compatibilty.
Deprecated and removed features, and other changes affecting compatibility:
* Statically compiled applications attempting to load locales compiled for the
GNU C Library version 2.27 will fail and fall back to the builtin C/POSIX
locale. The reason for this is that the addition of the new "%OB" and "%ob",
support for two grammatical forms of the month names, also extends the locale
data binary format. Static applications needing locale support must be
recompiled to match the runtime and data they are deployed with. In some
distributions there is an upgrade window where dynamically linked applications
may use a new library but the old locale data and also fall back to the
builtin C/POSIX locales; restarting the application process is sufficient to
fix this.
* Support for statically linked applications which call dlopen is deprecated
and will be removed in a future version of glibc. Applications which call
dlopen need to be linked dynamically instead.
