+GCC v3.3.5 / LIBC v0.6 - Beta 5:
+--------------------------------
+
+    Thanks to Lorne, Froloff, nickk and Andy for sending me patches,
+    debugging problems and/or testing fixes.
+
+    New features:
+
+        o Added support for __declspec(dllexport), _Export
+          and __declspec(dllimport), the latter being a stub.
+          This also included adding N_EXP to the a.out format.
+
+        o Lot's of math stuff, mostly untested.
+
+        o Optimized zeroing of new file space in ftruncate and
+          chsize with knowlegde about the filesystem. HPFS, JFS
+          and FAT will do the zeroing for us.
+
+        o Support for unlocked stdio, with both BSD and GNU
+          extensions implemented.
+
+        o Execute .cmd, .bat, .btm and hash-bang scripts.
+
+        o Respect single quotes in argument handling (sed craze).
+
+        o Ported fts.h and the BSD implementation.
+
+        o Ported BSD sysctl. (Does not include the tcpip v4.1
+          sysctl() bits yet.)
+
+        o Ported the FreeBSD implementation of SysV semaphores
+          and shared memory.
+
+        o Env.var. LIBC_THREAD_MIN_STACK_SIZE can be used to
+          specify the minimum stack size for new threads. The
+          default minimum is 4096 bytes.
+
+        o Ported (lib)intl from glibc.
+
+        o New gcc arguments -Zargs-wild and -Zargs-resp.
+
+        o New functions (might not be 100% correct):
+          __bindtextdomain(), __dcgettext(), __dcigettext(),
+          __dcngettext(), __dgettext(), __dngettext(), __gettext(),
+          __gettext_extract_plural(), __gettext_free_exp(), __gettextparse(),

+
+
+    Removed features:
+
+        o smallcnv is gone.
+
+        o old weak symbol handling in emxomf is gone.
+
+
+    Bug fixes:
+
+        o Numerous bugfixes in libc, see ChangeLog.LIBC for
+          details.
+
+        o Fixed problems with receiving signals during fork().
+
+        o Fixed bug in timer backend if the system had no
+          exiting timers. Kudos to Froloff for noticing this.
+
+
+    Known problems:
+
+        o Static linking not possible - will be fixed.
+
+        o Job control will only be applied to thread 1 in a process.
+          This won't change.
+
+        o Missing some process group interfaces required for
+          job control. They'll show up soon.
+
+        o The HLL debug info isn't working 100% correctly.
+
+        
+    Todos before LIBC06.DLL:
+        
+                0. Make my way through the glibc testsuite.
+                
+                1. New select() from Brian (aka nuke).
+                
+        2. Missing job pgid functions.
