 NEW VERSION

 From NEWS:

 * Unified lookup for getaddrinfo: IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are now looked
   up at the same time.  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.

 * TLS descriptors for LD and GD on x86 and x86-64.
   Implemented by Alexandre Oliva.

 * getaddrinfo now handles DCCP and UDPlite.
   Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.

 * New fixed-size conversion macros: htobe16, htole16, be16toh, le16toh,
   htobe32, htole32, be32toh, le32toh, htobe64, htole64, be64toh, le64toh.
   Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.

 * New implementation of memmem, strstr, and strcasestr which is O(n).
   Implemented by Eric Blake.

 * New Linux interfaces: inotify_init1, dup3, epoll_create1, pipe2

 * Implement "e" option for popen to open file descriptor with the
   close-on-exec flag set.  Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.

 * Implement "b" mode for fmemopen.  In this mode writes writes don't
   implicitly add a NUL byte and seeks from the end of the buffer really
   use the buffer end, not the string length as the basis.
   Implemented by Ulrich Drepper.

 * Many functions, exported and internal, now atomically set the close-on-
 exec
   flag when run on a sufficiently new kernel.  Implemented by Ulrich
 Drepper.

 * Sorting rules for some Indian languages (Kannada, Gurumukhi, Telugu,
   Sinhala)
   Implemented by Pravin Satpute.

 * New locales: sd_IN, sd_IN at devanagari, ks_IN at devanagari, ht_HT, en_AG,
 nl_AW.
