The 2.24 version of the GNU C Library (glibc) has been released. It comes
with lots of bug fixes, including five for security vulnerabilities (four
stack overflows and a memory leak). Some deprecated features have
been removed, as well as deprecating the readdir_r() and
readdir64_r() functions in favor of readdir() and
readdir64(). There are also additions to the math library
(nextup*() and nextdown*()) to return the next
representable value toward either positive or negative infinity.
