Name : glibc Product : Fedora 18 Version : 2.16 Release : 33.fc18 URL : http://www.gnu.org/software/glibc/ Summary : The GNU libc libraries Description : The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: - Fix performance regression caused due to rounding mode correctness fixes in 2.16. - Code sanity check to ensure that the intl code doesn't crash when there isn't enough memory. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Jun 25 2013 Siddhesh Poyarekar <[email protected]> - 2.16-33 - Fix libm performance regression due to set/restore rounding mode (#977887). * Sun May 5 2013 Patsy Franklin <[email protected]> - 2.16-32 - Fix _nl_find_msg malloc failure case, and callers.
