4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
12 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
15 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
17 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
19 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
22 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
25 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
28 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
31 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
34 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
37 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
38 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
39 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
40 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
41 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
43 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
44 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
45 socket descriptors are now compatible with
46 file descriptors. In general, this change
47 will simply improve your code's portability
48 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
49 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
50 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
51 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
52 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
53 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
55 This change does not remove the need to call
56 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
57 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
58 when you include the sys_socket module; while
59 the functionality will be restored soon, for
60 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
61 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
63 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
65 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
66 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
67 equivalent function, use function
68 xconcatenated_filename from module
71 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
72 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
73 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
74 You may need to create a symbolic link for
75 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
76 installed in $prefix/lib.
78 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
81 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
83 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
86 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
87 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
88 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
90 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
92 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
95 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
96 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
97 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
98 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
100 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
101 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
102 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
103 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
104 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
106 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
108 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
111 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
114 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
115 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
117 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
118 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
119 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
120 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
122 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
123 implementations; clients that use controlled
124 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
125 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
126 module instead for smaller code size.
128 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
129 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
130 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
131 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
132 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
134 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
135 implementations; clients that use controlled
136 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
137 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
138 module instead for smaller code size.
140 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
141 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
142 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
143 module if you need it.
145 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
148 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
151 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
152 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
153 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
154 module description for the applicable license.
156 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
157 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
158 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
160 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
161 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
162 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
165 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
166 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
167 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
169 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
171 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
172 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
174 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
175 error to standard error; that is now the
176 caller's responsibility. It returns an
177 error code of type enum strtol_error
178 instead of the integer option value, and stores
179 the option value via a new int * argument.
180 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
181 are now an option name and option argument
182 instead of an option argument and a type string,
183 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
185 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
187 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
188 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
190 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
193 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
194 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
196 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
199 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
200 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
204 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
205 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
210 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
211 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
212 that has a different signature.
214 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
215 #include "sigprocmask.h"
219 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
220 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
221 'long double' as a type exists.
223 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
224 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

265 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
268 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
269 iconv_string -> str_iconv
270 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
273 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
274 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
275 carray-list You can pass NULL.
283 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
284 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

300 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
301 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
303 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
304 using the "des" module directly.
306 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
307 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
308 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
