February 06, 2005
sourceware.org suffered hardware failure and had to be restored from backups. We do not believe any data was lost in the CVS repository. We did lose any pending messages in the mail queue as that does not get backed up. At this time, everything should be functional except for htdig. The mailing list archives on the web site are also out of date and will be updated soon. New mail will update the archives correctly, however. If you find any other problems, please email overseers@sourceware.org
February 24, 2004
LVM, LVM2, Device Mapper projects added.
May 13, 2003
CVS is again operational.
May 13, 2003

January 18, 2003 (Red Hat)
We've moved! This system is now running on new hardware, with a new IP address, and a faster internet connection. You probably have to update your ssh knownhosts file to accommodate this change, but it is a small price to pay for the increased speed.
November 26, 2002 (Red Hat)
There is a new RDA project. RDA is a remote debugging agent for use with GDB.
September 17, 2001 (Red Hat)

The name sourceware.cygnus.com will continue to work for an extended period of time (similar to the way the egcs.cygnus.com->gcc.gnu.org rename has been done).

June 19, 2000
binutils 2.10 is out! After two long, harrowing years, the binutils release you've been waiting for is out. See the readelf utility that critics have been raving over, see the intel-style x86 assembly syntax support that you've always wanted. Will the excitement ever end? See the binutils home page for more information.

May 20, 2000
gdb 5.0 has been released. Better C++ debugging, better x86 floating point, better interfaces to front-ends (like graphical user interfaces), watchpoint improvements, works better on DOS/Windows, and more.

We're famous! We sent in a postcard to the FAQ-O-Matic author, and now it is on the web for all the world to see. See! We can still show off our "photo album" even if we are a public company with a stock price which is, er, well, y'know (and don't tell our lawyers I even mentioned the subject of the stock price :-)).

January 13, 2000
How does Red Hat's acquisition of Cygnus affect this site?

For now, very little. We thought about "conducting a process of re-engineering and re-branding with the aim of integrating our free software community outreach programs into our corporate objectives". But then we said "naah, let's just continue to have a great site to develop free software and work on making it even better".

In particular, we plan to be careful about changing the host name sourceware.cygnus.com or anything else which may require you to update your habits, CVS/Root files, etc. The name will have to change but before we go changing things around we'd kind of like to at least have a plausible guess about what we are going to change them to :-). We don't want you to have to switch over twice.

November 22, 1999
Newlib 1.8.2 is released! This new version has over a year's worth of bug fixing and tuneups compared to 1.8.1. Most notably, this version should work better for RTEMS users without lots of patching.

GNATS version 3.113 is now out. This is a bugfix only release. We are nearing the end of the 3.x line of development for GNATS and this may represent the last v3 release before we redirect all our attention to the major improvements that are going to be present in v4.

That program will also work on any OS implementing this Elix API (which will based on POSIX).

September 9, 1999
bzip2 has joined the Cygnus free software site! The bzip2 project is now hosted here at the Cygnus free software site. bzip2 is a lossless compression program, similar in use to gzip, which compresses up to thirty percent better than gzip.

May 23, 1999
GNU libc (glibc) is now hosted at the Cygnus fre software site! glibc is the FSF's C library implementation, it's most prominently found on Linux distributions everywhere. We've got mailing lists, we've got ftp snapshots, we've got a CVS repository with anonymous read access. What more could a person ask for?

April 28, 1999
Xconq has moved to the Cygnus free software site! Xconq is a great strategy game that Stan Shebs wrote over a decade ago; he continues to improve and extend it even today. It has matured into a great multi-platform, multi-user game that is fun to play and explore.

April 10, 1999
GDB version 4.18 is out! It's been a year since the 4.17 release and there are lots of additions in this new version. GDB supports a number of new embedded chips, lots of new HP-UX debugging support, a couple of new CPU simulators and the usual assortment of bug fixes and cleanups.

April 7, 1999
