-*** Major changes in libio for egcs:
-
-* Better support for Linux.
-
-* Dejagnu testsuite.
-
-*** Major changes in libio version 2.7.0:
-
-* The data representations of _IO_FILE and streambufs have been modified.
- The layout of the jump-table table _IO_jumps_t has been re-arranged
- to match that of a virtual function table of a streambuf. Therefore,
- we no longer need a separate _IO_FILE::_jumps pointer; instead it can
- be shared with the virtual function table pointer. In addition to
- saving space, this also removes the overhead when double indirection
- was needed, and there are many simplificatons (e.g. we no longer need
- the builtinbuf class.
-
-* The streambuf::uflow virtual has been added, to match the standard.
-
-* The ifstream, ofstream, and fstream classes now include the filebuf
- as a member, rather than being pointed to it. Various related changes.
-
-* Version number changed to generally follow libg++ (and gcc).
-
-*** Major changes in libio version 0.66 (released with libg++ 2.6.1):
-
-* Some documentation and an example in iostream.texi on how to derive
- your own class from streambuf.
-
-* New functions added to stdio: getline, detdelim, snprintf, vsnprintf.
- This is for compatibility with the GNU C library.
-
-*** Major changes in libio version 0.65 (released with libg++ 2.6):
-
-* _IO_getline and streambuf::sgetline no longer write a '\0' at the end.
-
-* A number of improvements to get closer to the ANSI/ISO C++ working
-paper, such as:
-- Added (preliminary support for) new ANSI streambuf::uflow virtual.
-- Added istdiostream and ostdiostream classes.
-- Added ostream::operator<<(bool) and istream::operator>>(bool&).
-
-* More robust (and faster) initialization and cleanup of standard streambufs.
-
-* Many small bug fixes, portability improvements, and random enhancements.
-
-*** Major changes in libio version 0.63 (released with libg++ 2.5.3):
-
-* There is a g++ bug that causes inconsistent name mangling for the
-assembler name of the virtual function table for the istream class.
-A work-around has been put into streambuf.h, which will make g++
-always do the right thing. Note that this may require you to
-recompile programs that were incorrectly compiled by g++.
-
-* Functions that do printf-style formatting to the unbuffered
-streams have been optimized to write to a temporary buffer.
