Thanks to Samuel Holland for all of the following improvements and additions,
along with documentation improvements and other contributions:


error
-----

* Implement error().


execinfo
--------

* Implement backtrace_symbols_fd.

* Fix return value in backtrace.


grp
---

* Implement fgetgrent_r/getgrent_r.


Loader
------

* Handle programs that have a DT_NEEDED entry for glibc's ld.so.

* Handle when LD_PRELOAD is already set.

* Use the --argv0 option to properly set argv[0] in the target program.

* Ensure the the argument list is terminated with a NULL sentinel.

* Document the details of the loader's implementation.

* Intercept readlink("/proc/self/exe") to return the executable's absolute
  path, instead of musl's path.


math
----

* Add finite() variants.

* Add remaining long double variants of existing functions.


misc
----

* New module.

* Adds __chk_fail, __cxa_at_quick_exit, gnu_dev_major, gnu_dev_makedev,
  and gnu_dev_minor.


netdb
-----

* New module.

* Adds re-entrant (_r) versions of getprotoby[name,number], getprotoent,
  and getservent.


pwd
---

* Correctly implement fgetpwent_r/getpwent_r.


signal
------

* New module.

* Adds __xpg_sigpause.


socket
------

* New module.

* Adds __recv_chk and __recvfrom_chk.


stdio
-----

* Add all (non-wchar) stdio functions from LSB, plus those found in use
  in other applications. Document those functions from LSB as such.

* Use a consistent structure and paramater names for all functions.

* flag == 0 means FORTIFY_SOURCE=1, so the implemented checks should be
  unconditional.

* Add all possible checks without parsing the format string.

* Move functions from wchar.h to their own appropriately-named file.


stdlib
------

* Fix prototype of __realpath_chk.

* Add all strto* functions from LSB, plus the ones that were previously
  incorrectly in string.c.


string
------

* Add all checked string functions from LSB, plus those found in use
  in other applications. Document those functions from LSB as such.

* Use a consistent structure and paramater names for all functions.

* Fix multiple off-by-one errors.

* Use a less hacky and more optimized rawmemchr.


syslog
------

* New module.

* Adds __syslog_chk and __vsyslog_chk.


unistd
------

* New module.

* Adds __confstr_chk, __getcwd_chk, __getgroups_chk, __gethostname_chk,
  __getlogin_r_chk, __getpagesize, __getpgid, __pread_chk, __pread64_chk,
  __readlink_chk, __sysconf, __ttyname_r_chk, and group_member.


utmp
----

* New module.

* Adds stub getutent_r.




0.1.0 (2017-10-15)
==================

ucontext
--------
* new module

* Adds getcontext(), which always sets errno to ENOSYS and returns -1.


resolv
------
* new module

* Adds res_ninit and res_nclose methods which wrap around standard
  res_init and res_close.


string
------
* Adds strtoll_l and strtoull_l 'locale-aware' methods.  Currently, these
  do nothing but call the non-locale-aware versions as musl does not implement
  `LC_NUMERIC`.


malloc
------
* Adds __libc_memalign which is a thin shim to musl's __memalign.

* Adds __libc_malloc, __libc_calloc, __libc_realloc, and __libc_free which are
  used by some system-level software.  These just call directly to musl's free
  and malloc/calloc/realloc.


math
----
* Adds non-prefixed isinf, isinff, isnan, and isnanf, needed since these are
  implemented as macros in musl.


Build system
------------
* A patch from Daniel James of VoidLinux has been applied, which allows use of
  CC instead of hard-coding `gcc`.


Documentation
-------------
* Updates the README.

* Adds contribution guide, a copy of the license, and this changelog.


pthread
-------
* Adds __pthread_register_cancel and __pthread_unregister_cancel stubs, which
  do nothing because they are not relevant to musl's pthread implementation.

* Adds __register_atfork stub.

* Removes pthread_setname_np since musl now provides it.


pwd
---
* new module

* Adds getpwent_r and fgetpwent_r.


sysctl
------
* new module

* Adds sysctl.
