* Lots of headers were cleaned up. Using the tool in the conform/ subdir
we can now check for namespace violations and missing declarations. The
result is that almost all headers are now Unix-compliant (as defined in
the upcoming XPG6). The negative side is that some programs might need
corrections, too, if they depend on the incorrect form of the headers in
previous versions which defined too many symbols and included too many
other headers.
* regex now handles multibyte character sets correctly.
Contributed by Isamu Hasegawa <isamu@yamato.ibm.com>.
* iconv (the program) does now conform to the upcoming XPG6 and handles
charmaps. Instead of the charset names the path of charmaps can be
provided and the conversion happens based on this data.
Contributed by Ulrich Drepper.
* The locale program now provides detailed information about the installed
locales. While
locale -a
only lists the names of the supported locales
locale -a --verbose
provides details such as country, language, and codeset name.
