4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
12 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
13 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
14 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
15 The calling convention of the functions
16 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
18 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
19 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
20 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
21 The calling convention of the functions
22 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
24 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
25 The maint.mk file was copied from
26 coreutils, and the old
27 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
28 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
29 this will add several new checks. If some
30 new check is annoying, add the name of the
31 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
34 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
36 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
38 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
40 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
42 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
43 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
44 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
48 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
51 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
52 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
54 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
55 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
57 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
58 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
59 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
60 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
61 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
62 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
64 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
67 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
70 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
73 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
75 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
77 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
80 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
83 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
86 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
89 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
92 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
95 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
96 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
97 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
98 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
99 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
101 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
102 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
103 socket descriptors are now compatible with
104 file descriptors. In general, this change
105 will simply improve your code's portability
106 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
107 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
108 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
109 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
110 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
111 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
113 This change does not remove the need to call
114 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
115 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
116 when you include the sys_socket module; while
117 the functionality will be restored soon, for
118 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
119 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
121 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
123 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
124 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
125 equivalent function, use function
126 xconcatenated_filename from module
129 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
130 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
131 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
132 You may need to create a symbolic link for
133 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
134 installed in $prefix/lib.
136 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
139 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
140 to "glthread/lock.h".
141 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
144 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
145 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
146 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
148 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
149 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
150 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
151 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
153 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
154 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
155 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
156 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
158 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
159 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
160 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
161 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
162 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
164 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
166 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
169 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
172 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
173 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
175 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
176 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
177 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
178 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
180 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
181 implementations; clients that use controlled
182 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
183 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
184 module instead for smaller code size.
186 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
187 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
188 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
189 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
190 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
192 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
193 implementations; clients that use controlled
194 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
195 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
196 module instead for smaller code size.
198 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
199 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
200 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
201 module if you need it.
203 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
206 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
209 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
210 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
211 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
212 module description for the applicable license.
214 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
215 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
216 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
218 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
219 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
220 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
223 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
224 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
225 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
227 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
229 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
230 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
232 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
233 error to standard error; that is now the
234 caller's responsibility. It returns an
235 error code of type enum strtol_error
236 instead of the integer option value, and stores
237 the option value via a new int * argument.
238 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
239 are now an option name and option argument
240 instead of an option argument and a type string,
241 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
243 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
245 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
246 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
248 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
251 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
252 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
254 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
257 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
258 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
262 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
263 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
268 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
269 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
270 that has a different signature.
272 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
273 #include "sigprocmask.h"
277 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
278 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
279 'long double' as a type exists.
281 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
282 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

305 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
306 #include "vasprintf.h"
310 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
313 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
315 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
316 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
317 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
319 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

321 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
323 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
326 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
327 iconv_string -> str_iconv
328 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
331 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
332 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
333 carray-list You can pass NULL.
341 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
342 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
346 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
349 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,

358 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
359 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
361 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
362 using the "des" module directly.
364 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
365 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
366 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
368 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
369 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
370 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
375 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
382 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
