 # Zig GNU C Library ("glibc") Support
 
-*Date*: November, 2023
-
 Zig supports building binaries that will dynamically link against the
 [GNU C Library ("glibc")](https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/) when run.
 This support extends across a range of glibc versions.
 
 By default, Zig binaries will not depend on any external C library, but
