Version 2.3.2
* Thread-safe interfaces for many functions that access locale data
were added in version 2.3, but these features were omitted from NEWS.
Many functions have variants with an `_l' suffix that take a `locale_t'
object as a parameter rather than consulting the current locale.
The new functions `newlocale', `duplocale', and `freelocale' in <locale.h>
create and maintain `locale_t' objects. Additionally, the new function
`uselocale' sets "the current locale" (as used by functions not so
parameterized) set for an individual thread. These features were added
in version 2.3, implemented by Ulrich Drepper and Roland McGrath.
* The functions getresuid, getresgid, setresuid, and setresgid, which
have long been available on Linux, are now declared in <unistd.h>
and are now also available on the Hurd.
