(Some people might notice there has not been an official announcement
for avr-libc 1.4.1.  The reason is that right after releasing that
version, it became obvious there were some problems installing the new
examples, so we rather quickly followed up with a fixed version.)

New items since avr-libc 1.4.0:

* Bugs fixed:

  [no-id]  Fix the examples installation for non-doc builds.
  [no-id]  Fix the spelling of the OCR1A/B registers in ATtinyX4 devices.
  [no-id]  LED1/2 don't work in the largedemo on an ATmega16.
  [#15266] Function ldexp incorrectly processes overflow and underflow cases.
  [#15161] util/delay.h misses inline keyword (regression)
  [#15193] incorrect definition of IVSEL bit in MCUCR register

* New devices supported:

  + ATtiny261
  + ATtiny461
  + ATtiny861
  + ATtiny24
  + ATtiny44
  + ATtiny84

* New functions:

   strstr_P (Contributed by Werner Boellmann)

* Other changes:

  [patch #4611] sleep.h sleep_mode() not interrupt safe

  - The simple demo has been modernized a bit.  Documentation now
    generally refers to the ATmega8 rather than the AT90S2313, and
    the #ifdef spaghetti has been moved out into iocompat.h.

  - The simple demo has been ported to ATmega8515, ATmega8535,
    ATmega164, ATmega165, ATmega169, ATmega324, ATmega325, ATmega3250,
    ATmega329, ATmega3290, ATmega644, ATmega645, ATmega6450,
    ATmega649, ATmega6490, ATtiny2313, ATtiny24, ATtiny25, ATtiny26,
    ATtiny261, ATtiny44, ATtiny45, ATtiny461, ATtiny84, ATtiny85,
    ATtiny861.

  - A new demo project ("largedemo") has been added.  It extends
    the simple demo by adding some controls, and thereby touches
    a good number of avr-libc concepts.

  - Another demo project ("stdiodemo") has been added.  It
    demonstrates the setup of the standard IO facilities using
    a practical small application.

  - The demo projects now install their source code as part of
    the documentation tree.
