Detailed Description
GLIBC 2.18 will be released at the end of July 2013; we have started closely tracking the GLIBC 2.18 development code in Fedora Rawhide and are addressing any issues as they arise. There should be little difference from the users perspective between GLIBC 2.17 used in F19 and GLIBC 2.18 used in F20.
Benefit to Fedora
Stays up to date with latests bug fixes from glibc.
Scope
Updated glibc to 2.18 from tested upstream release.
How To Test
GLIBC has its own testsuite, which is run during the package build, plus many other packages with automated tests also help to test the new GLIBC.
User Experience
Users will see improved performance, many bugfixes and improvements to POSIX compliance, additional locales, etc.
Dependencies
All packages do not need to be rebuild.
Contingency Plan
Given that Rawhide has started tracking GLIBC 2.18, no show-stopper problems are expected. In the unlikely event a major problem were discovered, we could fall back to the older GLIBC 2.17 from Fedora 19.
Documentation
N/A.
Release Notes
Fedora 20 comes with GLIBC 2.18, see <release info url> for significant changes appearing in GLIBC 2.18.
