4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
11 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
12 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
13 equivalent function, use function
14 xconcatenated_filename from module
17 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
18 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
19 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
20 You may need to create a symbolic link for
21 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
22 installed in $prefix/lib.
24 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
27 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
29 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
32 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
33 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
34 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
36 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
38 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
41 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
42 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
43 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
44 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
46 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
47 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
48 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
49 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
50 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
52 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
54 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
57 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
60 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
61 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
63 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
64 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
65 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
66 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
68 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
69 implementations; clients that use controlled
70 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
71 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
72 module instead for smaller code size.
74 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
75 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
76 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
77 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
78 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
80 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
81 implementations; clients that use controlled
82 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
83 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
84 module instead for smaller code size.
86 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
87 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
88 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
89 module if you need it.
91 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
94 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
97 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
98 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
99 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
100 module description for the applicable license.
102 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
103 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
104 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
106 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
107 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
108 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
111 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
112 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
113 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
115 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
117 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
118 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
120 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
121 error to standard error; that is now the
122 caller's responsibility. It returns an
123 error code of type enum strtol_error
124 instead of the integer option value, and stores
125 the option value via a new int * argument.
126 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
127 are now an option name and option argument
128 instead of an option argument and a type string,
129 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
131 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
133 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
134 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
136 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
139 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
140 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
142 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
145 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
146 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
150 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
151 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
156 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
157 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
158 that has a different signature.
160 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
161 #include "sigprocmask.h"
165 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
166 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
167 'long double' as a type exists.
169 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
170 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

193 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
194 #include "vasprintf.h"
198 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
201 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"

209 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
211 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
214 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
215 iconv_string -> str_iconv
216 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
219 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
220 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
221 carray-list You can pass NULL.
229 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
230 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

246 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
247 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
249 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of

252 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
253 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
254 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
