5 ---------------------------------
9 2010-05-18 uni*/* The Makefile.am now needs to declare the Automake
10 option 'subdir-objects'.
12 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
13 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
14 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
15 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
17 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
18 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
19 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
20 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
23 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
24 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
25 get the functions that were previously provided.
27 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
28 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
30 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
31 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
32 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
35 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
36 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
37 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
40 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
41 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
42 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
45 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
46 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
47 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
49 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
50 must contain an explicit dependency on
53 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
54 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
55 effect except on very old platforms.
57 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
58 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
60 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
62 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
65 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
68 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
71 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
72 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
75 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
76 rather than only defined to 1.
78 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
79 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
80 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
81 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
82 include <unistd.h>. For all other
83 functions provided by this module,
84 continue to include "openat.h".
86 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
87 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
90 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
91 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
93 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
94 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
95 "long options" and "options with optional
96 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
98 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
101 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
102 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
103 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
104 The calling convention of the functions
105 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
107 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
108 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
109 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
110 The calling convention of the functions
111 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
113 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
114 The maint.mk file was copied from
115 coreutils, and the old
116 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
117 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
118 this will add several new checks. If some
119 new check is annoying, add the name of the
120 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
123 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
125 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
127 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
129 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
131 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
132 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
133 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
136 val = c_strtod (...);
137 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
140 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
141 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
143 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
144 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
146 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
147 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
148 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
149 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
150 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
151 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
153 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
156 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
159 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
162 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
164 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
166 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
169 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
172 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
175 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
178 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
181 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
184 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
185 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
186 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
187 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
188 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
190 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
191 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
192 socket descriptors are now compatible with
193 file descriptors. In general, this change
194 will simply improve your code's portability
195 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
196 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
197 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
198 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
199 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
200 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
202 This change does not remove the need to call
203 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
204 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
205 when you include the sys_socket module; while
206 the functionality will be restored soon, for
207 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
208 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
210 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
212 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
213 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
214 equivalent function, use function
215 xconcatenated_filename from module
218 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
219 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
220 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
221 You may need to create a symbolic link for
222 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
223 installed in $prefix/lib.
225 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
228 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
229 to "glthread/lock.h".
230 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
233 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
234 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
235 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
237 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
238 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
239 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
240 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
242 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
243 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
244 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
245 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
247 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
248 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
249 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
250 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
251 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
253 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
255 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
258 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
261 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
262 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
264 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
265 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
266 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
267 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
269 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
270 implementations; clients that use controlled
271 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
272 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
273 module instead for smaller code size.
275 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
276 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
277 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
278 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
279 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
281 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
282 implementations; clients that use controlled
283 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
284 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
285 module instead for smaller code size.
287 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
288 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
289 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
290 module if you need it.
292 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
295 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
298 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
299 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
300 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
301 module description for the applicable license.
303 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
304 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
305 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
307 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
308 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
309 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
312 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
313 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
314 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
316 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
318 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
319 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
321 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
322 error to standard error; that is now the
323 caller's responsibility. It returns an
324 error code of type enum strtol_error
325 instead of the integer option value, and stores
326 the option value via a new int * argument.
327 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
328 are now an option name and option argument
329 instead of an option argument and a type string,
330 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
332 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
334 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
335 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
337 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
340 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
341 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
343 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
346 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
347 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
351 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
352 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
357 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
358 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
359 that has a different signature.
361 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
362 #include "sigprocmask.h"
366 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
367 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
368 'long double' as a type exists.
370 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
371 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.
372 des Renamed to crypto/des.

391 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
392 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
394 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
395 #include "vasprintf.h"
399 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
402 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
404 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
405 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
406 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

410 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
412 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
415 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
416 iconv_string -> str_iconv
417 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
420 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
421 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
422 carray-list You can pass NULL.
430 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
431 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
435 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
438 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
439 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
440 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,
441 des_makekey -> gl_des_makekey,

446 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
447 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
448 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
450 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
451 using the "des" module directly.
453 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
454 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
455 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
457 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
458 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
459 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
464 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
471 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
472 # whitespace-check-buffer-indent: nil
