+GCC v3.3.5 / LIBC v0.6 - Beta 4:
+--------------------------------
+
+    Thanks to Lorne, Froloff and nickk for sending me patches,
+    debugging problems and testing fixes.
+
+    New features:
+
+        o Added st_dev and st_ino calculation for fstat and stat.
+
+        o Added most of the wide string functions.
+          N.B. the stream functions are still missing.
+
+        o New functions:
+          SafeDosStartSession(), wcscat(), wcschr(), wcscmp(),
+          wcscoll(), wcscpy(), wcscspn(), wcslcat(), wcslcpy(),
+          wcslen(), wcsncat(), wcsncmp(), wcsncpy(), wcspbrk(),
+          wcsrchr(), wcsspn(), wcsstr(), wcstok() and wcswidth()
+
+
+    Bug fixes:
+
+        o settimeofday() year problem.
+
+        o Some underflow/overflow problems tested for by many
+          Configure scripts was fixed by using a 64-bit time
+          type internally.
+
+        o fxsave/fxrstore problem in fork(). (This isn't tested
+          because lack of (reliable) obsolete hardware.)
+
+        o Fixed fork() and DosLoadModule problem in child.
+
+        o nl_langinfo(CODESET) now returns something useful,
+          adding a few ascii codeset aliases at the same time.
+
+        o Bug in socket inheritance over exec/spawn.
+
+        o Missing semphore and signal blocking when processing
+          external signals.
+
+        o Two rmdir errno problems, and made it fail on symlink.
+
+        o Fixed incorrect monetary locale for the "C" locale
+          after setlocale call.
+
+        o Fixed signal queue node leak.
+
+        o Fixed missing release of signal semaphore and signal
+          unblocking in a failure code path.
+
+        o Fixed a few filehandle conversion bugs in os2_select.
+
+        o Fixed libsocket to set errno to ENOSOCK when given a
+          filehandle instead of a socket. Previous was ENOSYS.
+
+        o Corrected NP_NBLK define in os2emx.h.
+
+        o Export __mcount stub. LIBCxx.prf export non-stub.
+
+        o Added missing libdl stub libraries (dlfcn is in libc
+          as of last release).
+
+        o Fixed missing WNOHANG handling in the wait functions.
+
+        o Adjusted the ECHILD and EINVAL errnos usage in
+          the wait functions to match the waitpid() spec.
+
+        o ???
+
+        Todos before LIBC06.DLL:
+        
+                0. Fix all bugs. :-)
+                
+                1. Reimplement opendir in BSD style (+fchdir).
+                
+                2. Shared IPC structures for XSI msq, sem and shm.
+                
+                3. Missing job pgid functions.
+                
+                4. Port GLIBC intl/*. gettext is a pita! because it's
+                   passing FILE pointers around between different LIBCs.
+                   objdump is constantly broken between LIBC versions.
+
+        5. Figure out the EA exclusive read access trouble.
+
+        6. Calc ino_t on file creation and store it in EAs.
+
+        7. Some sysctl() required for coreutils + a bit
+           of tcpip additions.
+
+        8. adjtime() implementation.
+
