* hurd/Versions (GLIBC_2.1.3): Define, adding directory_name_split and
	hurd_directory_name_split.
	* Versions.def (libc): Add GLIBC_2.1.3.

1999-11-09  Roland McGrath  <roland@baalperazim.frob.com>

	* hurd/report-wait.c (describe_port): Return char * and use __stpcpy
	to return the location of the null byte written into the string.
	(describe_number): Likewise.
	(describe_number): Remove assert, not always used with #.
	If FLAVOR is null, don't use it.
	(describe_number): Take signed argument and print a - if negative.
	(_S_msg_report_wait): Report system call number for system calls that
	aren't mach_msg.  Soup up reporting for mach_msg: If destination port
	matches SS->intr_port, bracket port description with [...] to indicate
	a Hurd interruptible RPC; if destination port is null, examine the
	receive port and report that state; if receive port is also null,
	check for timeout and report its value.
	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/i386/intr-msg.h (MSG_EXAMINE): Return int that is
	zero iff we managed to examine the stack; take new args RCV_NAME,
	SEND_NAME, OPTION, and TIMEOUT to fill in with mach_msg args.

	* hurd/report-wait.c (describe_port): Recognize MACH_PORT_NULL and
	MACH_PORT_DEAD specially.

1999-10-04  Roland McGrath  <roland@baalperazim.frob.com>

	* hurd/hurdlookup.c (__hurd_directory_name_split): New function.
	(__directory_name_split): New function.
	* hurd/hurd.h: Declare them.
	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/rmdir.c: Use __directory_name_split instead of
	__file_name_split, so we ignore trailing slashes properly.
	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/rename.c: Likewise.

This directory contains the version 2.1.90 release of the GNU C Library.
Many bugs have been fixed since the last release.
Some bugs surely remain.

As of this release, the GNU C library is known to run on the following
configurations:

		*-*-gnu			GNU Hurd
		i[3456]86-*-linux-gnu	Linux-2.x on Intel
		m68k-*-linux-gnu	Linux-2.x on Motorola 680x0
		alpha-*-linux-gnu	Linux-2.x on DEC Alpha
		powerpc-*-linux-gnu     Linux and MkLinux on PowerPC systems
		sparc-*-linux-gnu	Linux-2.x on SPARC
		sparc64-*-linux-gnu	Linux-2.x on UltraSPARC
		arm-*-none		ARM standalone systems
		arm-*-linux		Linux-2.x on ARM
		arm-*-linuxaout		Linux-2.x on ARM using a.out binaries


Former releases of this library (version 1.09.1 and perhaps earlier
versions) used to run on the following configurations:

		alpha-dec-osf1
		i[3456]86-*-bsd4.3
		i[3456]86-*-isc2.2
		i[3456]86-*-isc3
		i[3456]86-*-sco3.2
		i[3456]86-*-sco3.2v4
		i[3456]86-*-sysv
		i[3456]86-*-sysv4
		i[3456]86-force_cpu386-none
		i[3456]86-sequent-bsd
		i960-nindy960-none
		m68k-hp-bsd4.3
		m68k-mvme135-none
		m68k-mvme136-none
		m68k-sony-newsos3
		m68k-sony-newsos4
		m68k-sun-sunos4
		mips-dec-ultrix4
		mips-sgi-irix4
		sparc-sun-solaris2
		sparc-sun-sunos4

Since no one has volunteered to test and fix the above configurations,
these are not supported at the moment.  It's expected that these don't
work anymore.  Porting the library is not hard.  If you are interested
in doing a port, please contact the glibc maintainers by sending
electronic mail to <bug-glibc@gnu.org>.

The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.
Because of the United States export restriction on DES
implementations, we are distributing this code separately from the
rest of the C library.  There is an extra distribution tar file just
for crypt; it is called `glibc-crypt-2.1.90.tar.gz'.  You can just
unpack the crypt distribution along with the rest of the C library and
build; you can also build the library without getting crypt.  Users
outside the USA can get the crypt distribution via anonymous FTP from
ftp.funet.fi [128.214.248.6] in the directory pub/gnu/funet, or
another archive site outside the USA.  Archive maintainers are
encouraged to copy this distribution to their archives outside the
USA.  Please get it from ftp.funet.fi; transferring this distribution
from ftp.gnu.org (or any other site in the USA) to a site outside the
USA is in violation of US export laws.

Beside the separate crypt tar file there are some more add-ons which can be
used together with GNU libc.  They are designed in a way to ease the
installation by integrating them in the libc source tree.  Simply get the
add-ons you need and use the --enable-add-ons option of the `configure'
script to tell where the add-ons are found.  Please read the FAQ file for
more details.

See the file INSTALL to find out how to configure, build, install, and port
the GNU C library.  You might also consider reading the WWW pages for the
GNU libc at http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html.

The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
in the `manual/' subdirectory.  The manual is still being updated and
contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not
have the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like.
Please send comments on the manual to <bug-glibc-manual@gnu.org>, and
not to the library bug-reporting address.

The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used
in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
facilities you want it to make available.

We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which
is installed together with the rest of the GNU libc to <bugs@gnu.org>.
Simply run this shell script and fill in the information.  Nevertheless
you can still send bug reports to <bug-glibc@gnu.org> as normal electronic
mails.

The GNU C Library is free software.  See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions.
