4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
10 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
11 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
12 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
13 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
15 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
16 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
17 socket descriptors are now compatible with
18 file descriptors. In general, this change
19 will simply improve your code's portability
20 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
21 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
22 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
23 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
24 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
25 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
27 This change does not remove the need to call
28 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
29 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
30 when you include the sys_socket module; while
31 the functionality will be restored soon, for
32 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
33 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
35 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
37 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
38 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
39 equivalent function, use function
40 xconcatenated_filename from module
43 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
44 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
45 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
46 You may need to create a symbolic link for
47 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
48 installed in $prefix/lib.
50 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
53 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
55 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
58 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
59 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
60 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
62 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
64 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
67 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
68 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
69 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
70 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
72 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
73 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
74 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
75 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
76 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
78 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
80 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
83 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
86 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
87 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
89 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
90 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
91 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
92 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
94 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
95 implementations; clients that use controlled
96 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
97 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
98 module instead for smaller code size.
100 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
101 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
102 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
103 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
104 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
106 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
107 implementations; clients that use controlled
108 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
109 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
110 module instead for smaller code size.
112 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
113 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
114 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
115 module if you need it.
117 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
120 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
123 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
124 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
125 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
126 module description for the applicable license.
128 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
129 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
130 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
132 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
133 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
134 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
137 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
138 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
139 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
141 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
143 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
144 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
146 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
147 error to standard error; that is now the
148 caller's responsibility. It returns an
149 error code of type enum strtol_error
150 instead of the integer option value, and stores
151 the option value via a new int * argument.
152 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
153 are now an option name and option argument
154 instead of an option argument and a type string,
155 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
157 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
159 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
160 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
162 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
165 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
166 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
168 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
171 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
172 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
176 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
177 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
182 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
183 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
184 that has a different signature.
186 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
187 #include "sigprocmask.h"
191 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
192 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
193 'long double' as a type exists.
195 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
196 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

220 #include "vasprintf.h"
224 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
227 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
229 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
230 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
231 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

235 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
237 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
240 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
241 iconv_string -> str_iconv
242 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
245 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
246 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
247 carray-list You can pass NULL.
255 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
256 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

263 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
264 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
265 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

270 tripledes_set2keys -> gl_3des_set2keys,
271 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
272 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
273 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
275 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
276 using the "des" module directly.
278 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
279 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
280 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.

283 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
284 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
289 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
296 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
