4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
10 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
13 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
14 rather than only defined to 1.
16 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
17 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
18 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
19 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
20 include <unistd.h>. For all other
21 functions provided by this module,
22 continue to include "openat.h".
24 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
25 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
28 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
29 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
31 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
32 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
33 "long options" and "options with optional
34 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
36 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
39 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
40 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
41 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
42 The calling convention of the functions
43 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
45 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
46 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
47 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
48 The calling convention of the functions
49 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
51 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
52 The maint.mk file was copied from
53 coreutils, and the old
54 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
55 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
56 this will add several new checks. If some
57 new check is annoying, add the name of the
58 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
61 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
63 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
65 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
67 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
69 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
70 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
71 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
75 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
78 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
79 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
81 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
82 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
84 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
85 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
86 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
87 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
88 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
89 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
91 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
94 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
97 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
100 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
102 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
104 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
107 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
110 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
113 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
116 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
119 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
122 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
123 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
124 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
125 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
126 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
128 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
129 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
130 socket descriptors are now compatible with
131 file descriptors. In general, this change
132 will simply improve your code's portability
133 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
134 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
135 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
136 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
137 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
138 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
140 This change does not remove the need to call
141 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
142 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
143 when you include the sys_socket module; while
144 the functionality will be restored soon, for
145 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
146 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
148 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
150 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
151 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
152 equivalent function, use function
153 xconcatenated_filename from module
156 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
157 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
158 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
159 You may need to create a symbolic link for
160 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
161 installed in $prefix/lib.
163 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
166 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
167 to "glthread/lock.h".
168 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
171 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
172 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
173 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
175 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
176 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
177 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
178 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
180 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
181 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
182 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
183 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
185 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
186 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
187 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
188 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
189 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
191 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
193 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
196 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
199 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
200 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
202 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
203 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
204 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
205 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
207 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
208 implementations; clients that use controlled
209 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
210 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
211 module instead for smaller code size.
213 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
214 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
215 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
216 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
217 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
219 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
220 implementations; clients that use controlled
221 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
222 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
223 module instead for smaller code size.
225 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
226 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
227 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
228 module if you need it.
230 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
233 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
236 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
237 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
238 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
239 module description for the applicable license.
241 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
242 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
243 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
245 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
246 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
247 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
250 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
251 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
252 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
254 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
256 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
257 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
259 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
260 error to standard error; that is now the
261 caller's responsibility. It returns an
262 error code of type enum strtol_error
263 instead of the integer option value, and stores
264 the option value via a new int * argument.
265 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
266 are now an option name and option argument
267 instead of an option argument and a type string,
268 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
270 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
272 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
273 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
275 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
278 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
279 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
281 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
284 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
285 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
289 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
290 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
295 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
296 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
297 that has a different signature.
299 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
300 #include "sigprocmask.h"
304 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
305 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
306 'long double' as a type exists.
308 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
309 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

332 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
333 #include "vasprintf.h"
337 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
340 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
342 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
343 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
344 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

350 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
353 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
354 iconv_string -> str_iconv
355 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
358 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
359 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
360 carray-list You can pass NULL.
368 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
369 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
373 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
376 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
377 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
378 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

385 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
386 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
388 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
389 using the "des" module directly.
391 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
392 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
393 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
395 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
396 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
397 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
402 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
409 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
