I have released version 2.0.13.  This is available in the git
repository at:

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/klibc/klibc.git

and as a tarball at:

    https://mirrors.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/klibc/2.0/

New features:
- The statx() and clock_{gettime,settime,nanosleep}() system calls are
  supported.
- time_t is 64-bit on all architectures.
- The LoongArch64 architecture is supported.
- kinit supports kernel parameter root=PARTLABEL=...

Bug fixes:
- select() with a NULL timeout works correctly when select() is a
  wrapper function.
- ipconfig no longer busy-polls in certain conditions.
- It's possible to build for MIPS64 R6 with newer gcc versions.
- The command aliases of gzip and halt are installed as links instead
  of copies.

Other changes:
- All architectures use the RT signals API (i386, m68k, and s390(x)
  previously did not).
- The address layout for arm and riscv64 has been changed to work
  around a QEMU bug.
- ipconfig retries failed sends after 1 second instead of 10 seconds.

A git shortlog of changes since version 2.0.12 follows.

Ben.
