10                             <strings.h>.
11
12 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
13                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
14                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
15                             module description for the applicable license.
16
17 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
18                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
19                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
20
21 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
22                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
23                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
24                             areadlink_with_size.
25
26 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
27                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
28                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

32 2007-08-10  xstrtol         The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
33                             Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.

35 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
36                             error to standard error; that is now the
37                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
38                             error code of type enum strtol_error
39                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
40                             the option value via a new int * argument.
41             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
42                             are now an option name and option argument
43                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
44                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.

73                             that has a different signature.
74
75 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
