| 4 | == Announcing CLFS 1.0.0rc1 - The "Bender" release == |
| 5 | |
| 6 | The CLFS Development team is pleased to announce the first release |
| 7 | candidate of CLFS-1.0.0, code-name "Bender". This test release |
| 8 | features Glibc 2.4, GCC 4.1.1, Binutils 2.17, and supports the x86, |
| 9 | x86-64, sparc, powerpc, ppc64, mips, mips64, and alpha, including |
| 10 | multilib on those arch's that support it. Cross-building is also |
| 11 | supported, even from non-Linux host systems such as Solaris, *BSD, and |
| 12 | OS X. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The developers encourage wide testing of the CLFS build on as many |
| 15 | archs as possible, proofreading of the text, and any other |
| 16 | suggestions. Please open tickets in the Trac system at |
| 17 | [http://trac.cross-lfs.org http://trac.cross-lfs.org] for any problems |
| 18 | found, so we may address them. |

| 33 | Roadmap: |
| 34 | |
| 35 | The current plan calls for RC2 to be released on July 8th, and the |
| 36 | final release of 1.0.0 on July 15th. Of course, we want to make every |
| 37 | effort to ensure a good release, so if further RC's are necessary, we |
| 38 | will allow for them. |
