I have released version 2.0.14.  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:
- Added a system call wrapper for inotify_init1(), and a inotify_init()
  function for architectures that only have the newer system call

Bug fixes:
- inet_pton() actually works now
- inet_aton() detects and returns 0 for more (hopefully all) invalid
  inputs
- mlock(), munlock(), mlockall(), and munlockall() system call
  wrappers are again defined on all architectures
- parisc port is compatible with kernel headers from Linux 6.10+
- ipconfig no longer triggers alignment faults when processing DHCP
  option 51 on a CPU that requires natural alignment
- mips64 port explicitly sets the executable base address, fixing linker
  errors where the toolchain's default is not what we expect

Other changes:
- ia64 port has been removed
- The untested no-MMU support has been removed
- All ports that were still using socketcall() now use the separate
  system calls instead

A git shortlog of changes since version 2.0.13 follows.

Ben.
