4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
11 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
12 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
13 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
17 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
20 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
21 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
23 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
24 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
26 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
27 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
28 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
29 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
30 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
31 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
33 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
36 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
39 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
42 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
44 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
46 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
49 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
52 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
55 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
58 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
61 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
64 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
65 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
66 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
67 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
68 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
70 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
71 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
72 socket descriptors are now compatible with
73 file descriptors. In general, this change
74 will simply improve your code's portability
75 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
76 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
77 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
78 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
79 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
80 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
82 This change does not remove the need to call
83 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
84 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
85 when you include the sys_socket module; while
86 the functionality will be restored soon, for
87 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
88 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
90 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
92 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
93 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
94 equivalent function, use function
95 xconcatenated_filename from module
98 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
99 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
100 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
101 You may need to create a symbolic link for
102 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
103 installed in $prefix/lib.
105 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
108 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
109 to "glthread/lock.h".
110 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
113 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
114 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
115 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
117 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
118 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
119 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
120 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
122 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
123 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
124 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
125 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
127 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
128 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
129 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
130 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
131 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
133 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
135 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
138 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
141 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
142 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
144 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
145 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
146 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
147 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
149 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
150 implementations; clients that use controlled
151 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
152 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
153 module instead for smaller code size.
155 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
156 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
157 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
158 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
159 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
161 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
162 implementations; clients that use controlled
163 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
164 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
165 module instead for smaller code size.
167 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
168 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
169 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
170 module if you need it.
172 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
175 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
178 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
179 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
180 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
181 module description for the applicable license.
183 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
184 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
185 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
187 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
188 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
189 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
192 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
193 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
194 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
196 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
198 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
199 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
201 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
202 error to standard error; that is now the
203 caller's responsibility. It returns an
204 error code of type enum strtol_error
205 instead of the integer option value, and stores
206 the option value via a new int * argument.
207 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
208 are now an option name and option argument
209 instead of an option argument and a type string,
210 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
212 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
214 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
215 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
217 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
220 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
221 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
223 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
226 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
227 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
231 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
232 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
237 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
238 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
239 that has a different signature.
241 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
242 #include "sigprocmask.h"
246 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
247 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
248 'long double' as a type exists.
250 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
251 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

274 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
275 #include "vasprintf.h"
279 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
282 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
284 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
285 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
286 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
288 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

290 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
292 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
295 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
296 iconv_string -> str_iconv
297 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
300 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
301 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
302 carray-list You can pass NULL.
310 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
311 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

327 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
328 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
330 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
331 using the "des" module directly.
333 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
334 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
335 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
