Below is a list of detailed changes made since the previous release of the book. November 24 2005 [Matt Darcy] - Text updates to resources page [Matt Darcy] - Updated reference to LFS news server to reflect that it no longer exists October 30, 2005 [manuel] - Text updates ported from trunk up to r7102. [jim] - Numerous bug reports on e2fsprogs multilib, that configure wouldn't work, could not validate, but added the fix in. Thanx for the reports. October 27, 2005 [jim] - Updated to Coreutils 5.92. [jim] - Updated to Glibc Snapshot 20051024. Fixes stability on MIPS/Sparc Platforms October 26, 2005 [jim] - Fixed login.defs.linux to login.defs - renamed under 4.0.13.
