The GNU C Library (glibc)

released version 2.39 on January 31, including
several new features. Notable highlights include new functions for spawning
child processes, support for shadow stacks on x86_64, new security features, and
the removal of libcrypt. The glibc maintainers had also hoped to include
improvements to qsort(), which ended up not making it into this
release. Glibc releases are made every six months.
