- Update to glibc 2.28
* The localization data for ISO 14651 is updated to match the 2016
Edition 4 release of the standard, this matches data provided by
Unicode 9.0.0
* Unicode 11.0.0 Support: Character encoding, character type info, and
transliteration tables are all updated to Unicode 11.0.0, using
generator scripts contributed by Mike FABIAN (Red Hat)
* <math.h> functions that round their results to a narrower type are added
from TS 18661-1:2014 and TS 18661-3:2015
* Two grammatical forms of month names are now supported
* The renameat2 function has been added, a variant of the renameat function
which has a flags argument
* The statx function has been added, a variant of the fstatat64
function with an additional flags argument
* IDN domain names in getaddrinfo and getnameinfo now use the system libidn2
library if installed
* Parsing of dynamic string tokens in DT_RPATH, DT_RUNPATH, DT_NEEDED,
DT_AUXILIARY, and DT_FILTER has been expanded to support the full
range of ELF gABI expressions including such constructs as
'$ORIGIN$ORIGIN' (if valid)
* Support for ISO C threads (ISO/IEC 9899:2011) has been added.
* The nonstandard header files <libio.h> and <_G_config.h> are no longer
installed
* The stdio functions 'getc' and 'putc' are no longer defined as macros
* All stdio functions now treat end-of-file as a sticky condition
* The macros 'major', 'minor', and 'makedev' are now only available from
the header <sys/sysmacros.h>
* The obsolete function ustat is no longer available to newly linked
binaries; the headers <ustat.h> and <sys/ustat.h> have been removed
* The obsolete function nfsservctl is no longer available to newly linked

- Update to glibc 2.17.90 85891acadf1b:
* CVE-2013-2207 Incorrectly granting access to another user's pseudo-terminal
has been fixed by disabling the use of pt_chown (Bugzilla #15755).
Distributions can re-enable building and using pt_chown via the new configure
option `--enable-pt_chown'. Enabling the use of pt_chown carries with it
considerable security risks and should only be used if the distribution
understands and accepts the risks.
* CVE-2013-0242 Buffer overrun in regexp matcher has been fixed (Bugzilla
#15078).
* CVE-2013-1914 Stack overflow in getaddrinfo with many results has been
fixed (Bugzilla #15330).
* Add support for calling C++11 thread_local object destructors on thread
and program exit. This needs compiler support for offloading C++11
destructor calls to glibc.
* Improved worst case performance of libm functions with double inputs and
output.
* Support for priority inherited mutexes in pthread condition variables on
non-x86 architectures.
* Optimized string functions for AArch64. Implemented by Marcus Shawcroft.
* Optimized string functions for ARM. Implemented by Will Newton and
Richard Henderson.
* Added a benchmark framework to track performance of functions in glibc.
* New <math.h> macro named issignaling to check for a signaling NaN (sNaN).
It is based on draft TS 18661 and currently enabled as a GNU extension.
* On Linux, the clock function now uses the clock_gettime system call
for improved precision, rather than old times system call.
* Added new API functions pthread_getattr_default_np and
pthread_setattr_default_np to get and set the default pthread
attributes of a process.
* Added support for TSX lock elision for pthread mutexes on i386 and x86-64.
