-                o Changed to FreeBSD implementation of difftime()
+                o Changed to FreeBSD implementation of difftime().
                 
                 o Added time related _r functions:
+                    asctime_r(), ctime_r(), gmtime_r(), localtime_r().
+        
+                o Added feature to emxomfld to automatically convert a.out libraries
+                  and objects to OMF (using temporary files). Enabled by default
+                  but can be disabled by the option -Zno-autoconv.
+                
+                o strerror(): Set errno if invalid error number is passed.
+

+                
+                o Added getopt_long() and changed getopt() to FreeBSD implementations.
+                
+                o Changed library search algorithms for the linkers (emxomfld and ld).
+                  Three variations, static, shared and shared+dll. (The options
+                  indicated corresponds to what binutils 2.12.x documents.)
+          static: (-Bstatic, -non_shared, -dn, -static)
+                        1. libfoo_s.a

+                        3. libfoo.a
+                        4. foo.a

+                  shared+dll: (-Zdll-search with -Bshared, -call_shared, -dy)
+                        1. libfoo_dll.a
+                        2. foo_dll.a
+                        3. libfoo.a

+                        
+                o Moved and reported (FreeBSD 5.1) bsd db into libc.
+                
+                o Updated regex code to FreeBSD 5.1 level.
+                
+                o Fixed problem with emxexp emitting ordinal without being told.
+                
+                o Fixed broken setenv().
+                
+                o Added a few more code page aliases.
+                
+                o Ported the posix spawn api from glibc v2.3.2.
+                
+                o Corrected errno value for read() and write().
+                
+                o Fixed type_tag too long issue in emxomf.
+                
+                o Fixed weakld problem with selfrefering aliases.
+                
+                o Updated with os2emx.h flags for DosQueryMemState().
+                
+                o Fixed repetition of main source file in HLL debuginfo (emxomf).
+                
+                o Changed size_t to unsigned int (from unsigned long int) and
+          ptrdiff_t to signed int (from signed long int) to comply with
+                  most of the other i386 environments.
+                
+                o Fixed problem with streams not being flushed on termination.
+                
+                o Changed abort and default signal termination messages to say which
+                  process it's printed from. (hope this doesn't break anything)
+                
+                o Added optional breakpoint in abort. The presense of the env.var.
+                  LIBC_BREAKPOINT_ABORT triggers the breakpoint instruction.
+                
+                o GCC defines __INNOTEK_LIBC__=0x005.
+          The idea is that this reflects the LIBC version. The value is on this
+                  form: 0xGMM, where G=major version and MM=middle version numbers.
+                
+                o Corrected #define clash in float.h when in C99 mode.
+                
+                o Added syslog interfaces (contrib from Yuri Dario).
+                
+                o Fixed abend in GCC if TMPDIR or TMP was ending with a slash.
+                
+                o Fixed weakld problem with PUBLIC and COMM clash.
+                
+                o Fixed crash in ld when having fixups to weak symbols.
+                
+                o Fixed bad conversion of dll0*.o to OMF, the OMF version got an unwanted
+                  stack object.
+                
+                o New functions & globals (from FreeBSD 5.1):

+                        hdestroy(), hsearch(), insque(), lfind(), lsearch(), remque(),
+            tdelete(), tfind(), tsearch(), twalk(), reallocf(), strsignal(),

+                        argz_delete(), argz_extract(), argz_insert(), argz_next(),
+                        argz_replace(), argz_stringify(), posix_spawn(),
+                        posix_spawnattr_destroy(), posix_spawnattr_getflags(),
+                        posix_spawnattr_getpgroup(), posix_spawnattr_getschedparam(),
+                        posix_spawnattr_getschedpolicy(), posix_spawnattr_getsigdefault(),
+                        posix_spawnattr_getsigmask(), posix_spawnattr_init(),
+                        posix_spawnattr_setflags(), posix_spawnattr_setpgroup(),
+                        posix_spawnattr_setschedparam(), posix_spawnattr_setschedpolicy(),
+                        posix_spawnattr_setsigdefault(), posix_spawnattr_setsigmask(),
+                        posix_spawn_file_actions_addclose(),
+                        posix_spawn_file_actions_adddup2(),
+                        posix_spawn_file_actions_addopen(),
+                        posix_spawn_file_actions_destroy(),
+                        posix_spawn_file_actions_init(), posix_spawnp(),
+                        
+                o New functions:
+                        isblank(), ishexnumber(), isnumber(), mempcpy(), realpath(),
+                        strnlen()
+                
+                o New headers (from FreeBSD 5.1):

+                        sys/gnu/cdefs.h (included from BSD styled sys/cdefs.h),
+                        
+                o Updated headers:
+                        stddef.h, sys/stddef.h
