4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
12 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
15 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
18 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
20 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
22 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
25 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
28 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
31 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
34 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
37 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
40 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
41 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
42 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
43 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
44 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
46 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
47 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
48 socket descriptors are now compatible with
49 file descriptors. In general, this change
50 will simply improve your code's portability
51 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
52 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
53 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
54 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
55 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
56 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
58 This change does not remove the need to call
59 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
60 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
61 when you include the sys_socket module; while
62 the functionality will be restored soon, for
63 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
64 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
66 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
68 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
69 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
70 equivalent function, use function
71 xconcatenated_filename from module
74 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
75 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
76 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
77 You may need to create a symbolic link for
78 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
79 installed in $prefix/lib.
81 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
84 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
86 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
89 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
90 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
91 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
93 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
95 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
98 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
99 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
100 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
101 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
103 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
104 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
105 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
106 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
107 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
109 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
111 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
114 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
117 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
118 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
120 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
121 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
122 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
123 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
125 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
126 implementations; clients that use controlled
127 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
128 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
129 module instead for smaller code size.
131 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
132 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
133 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
134 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
135 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
137 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
138 implementations; clients that use controlled
139 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
140 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
141 module instead for smaller code size.
143 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
144 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
145 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
146 module if you need it.
148 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
151 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
154 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
155 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
156 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
157 module description for the applicable license.
159 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
160 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
161 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
163 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
164 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
165 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
168 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
169 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
170 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
172 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
174 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
175 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
177 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
178 error to standard error; that is now the
179 caller's responsibility. It returns an
180 error code of type enum strtol_error
181 instead of the integer option value, and stores
182 the option value via a new int * argument.
183 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
184 are now an option name and option argument
185 instead of an option argument and a type string,
186 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
188 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
190 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
191 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
193 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
196 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
197 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
199 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
202 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
203 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
207 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
208 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
213 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
214 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
215 that has a different signature.
217 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
218 #include "sigprocmask.h"
222 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
223 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
224 'long double' as a type exists.

268 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
271 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
272 iconv_string -> str_iconv
273 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
276 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
277 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
278 carray-list You can pass NULL.
286 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
287 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

303 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
304 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
306 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
307 using the "des" module directly.
309 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
310 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
311 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
