10 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
11 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
12 The calling convention of the functions
13 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.

18 The calling convention of the functions
19 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
21 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
22 The maint.mk file was copied from
23 coreutils, and the old
24 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
25 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
26 this will add several new checks. If some
27 new check is annoying, add the name of the
28 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
31 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
33 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
35 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
37 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
39 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
40 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
41 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
45 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
48 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
49 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
51 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
52 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
54 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
55 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
56 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
57 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
58 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
59 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
61 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
64 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
67 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
70 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
72 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
74 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
77 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
80 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
83 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
86 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
89 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
92 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
93 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
94 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
95 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
96 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
98 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
99 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
100 socket descriptors are now compatible with
101 file descriptors. In general, this change
102 will simply improve your code's portability
103 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
104 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
105 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
106 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
107 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
108 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
110 This change does not remove the need to call
111 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
112 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
113 when you include the sys_socket module; while
114 the functionality will be restored soon, for
115 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
116 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
118 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
120 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
121 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
122 equivalent function, use function
123 xconcatenated_filename from module
126 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
127 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
128 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
129 You may need to create a symbolic link for
130 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
131 installed in $prefix/lib.
133 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
136 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
137 to "glthread/lock.h".
138 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
141 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
142 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
143 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
145 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
146 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
147 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
148 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
150 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
151 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
152 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
153 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
155 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
156 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
157 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
158 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
159 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
161 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
163 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
166 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
169 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
170 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
172 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
173 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
174 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
175 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
177 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
178 implementations; clients that use controlled
179 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
180 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
181 module instead for smaller code size.
183 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
184 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
185 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
186 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
187 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
189 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
190 implementations; clients that use controlled
191 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
192 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
193 module instead for smaller code size.
195 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
196 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
197 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
198 module if you need it.
200 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
203 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
206 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
207 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
208 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
209 module description for the applicable license.
211 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
212 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
213 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
215 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
216 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
217 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
220 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
221 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
222 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
224 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
226 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
227 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
229 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
230 error to standard error; that is now the
231 caller's responsibility. It returns an
232 error code of type enum strtol_error
233 instead of the integer option value, and stores
234 the option value via a new int * argument.
235 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
236 are now an option name and option argument
237 instead of an option argument and a type string,
238 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
240 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
242 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
243 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
245 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
248 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
249 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
251 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
254 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
255 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
259 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
260 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
265 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
266 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
267 that has a different signature.
269 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
270 #include "sigprocmask.h"
274 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
275 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
276 'long double' as a type exists.
278 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
279 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.
280 des Renamed to crypto/des.

299 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
300 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
302 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
303 #include "vasprintf.h"
307 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
310 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
312 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
313 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
314 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
316 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

318 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
320 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
323 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
324 iconv_string -> str_iconv
325 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
328 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
329 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
330 carray-list You can pass NULL.
338 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
339 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
343 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
346 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
347 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
348 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

354 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
355 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
356 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
358 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
359 using the "des" module directly.
361 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
362 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
363 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
365 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
366 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
367 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
372 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
379 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
380 # whitespace-check-buffer-indent: nil
