5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-09-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
10 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
13 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
14 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
16 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
17 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
18 "long options" and "options with optional
19 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
21 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
24 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
25 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
26 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
27 The calling convention of the functions
28 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
30 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
31 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
32 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
33 The calling convention of the functions
34 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
36 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
37 The maint.mk file was copied from
38 coreutils, and the old
39 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
40 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
41 this will add several new checks. If some
42 new check is annoying, add the name of the
43 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
46 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
48 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
50 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
52 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
54 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
55 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
56 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
60 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
63 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
64 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
66 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
67 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
69 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
70 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
71 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
72 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
73 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
74 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
76 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
79 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
82 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
85 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
87 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
89 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
92 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
95 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
98 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
101 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
104 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
107 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
108 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
109 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
110 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
111 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
113 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
114 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
115 socket descriptors are now compatible with
116 file descriptors. In general, this change
117 will simply improve your code's portability
118 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
119 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
120 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
121 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
122 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
123 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
125 This change does not remove the need to call
126 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
127 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
128 when you include the sys_socket module; while
129 the functionality will be restored soon, for
130 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
131 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
133 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
135 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
136 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
137 equivalent function, use function
138 xconcatenated_filename from module
141 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
142 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
143 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
144 You may need to create a symbolic link for
145 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
146 installed in $prefix/lib.
148 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
151 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
152 to "glthread/lock.h".
153 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
156 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
157 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
158 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
160 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
161 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
162 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
163 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
165 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
166 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
167 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
168 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
170 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
171 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
172 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
173 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
174 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
176 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
178 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
181 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
184 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
185 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
187 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
188 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
189 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
190 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
192 2008-01-14 strcasestr 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 strcasestr-simple
196 module instead for smaller code size.
198 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
199 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
200 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
201 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
202 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
204 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
205 implementations; clients that use controlled
206 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
207 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
208 module instead for smaller code size.
210 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
211 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
212 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
213 module if you need it.
215 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
218 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
221 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
222 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
223 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
224 module description for the applicable license.
226 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
227 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
228 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
230 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
231 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
232 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
235 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
236 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
237 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
239 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
241 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
242 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
244 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
245 error to standard error; that is now the
246 caller's responsibility. It returns an
247 error code of type enum strtol_error
248 instead of the integer option value, and stores
249 the option value via a new int * argument.
250 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
251 are now an option name and option argument
252 instead of an option argument and a type string,
253 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
255 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
257 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
258 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
260 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
263 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
264 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
266 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
269 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
270 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
274 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
275 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
280 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
281 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
282 that has a different signature.
284 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
285 #include "sigprocmask.h"
289 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
290 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
291 'long double' as a type exists.
293 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
294 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

317 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
318 #include "vasprintf.h"
322 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
325 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
327 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
328 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
329 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
331 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

333 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
335 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
338 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
339 iconv_string -> str_iconv
340 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
343 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
344 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
345 carray-list You can pass NULL.
353 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
354 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
358 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
361 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
362 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
363 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

370 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
371 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
373 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
374 using the "des" module directly.
376 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
377 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
378 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
380 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
381 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
382 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
387 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
394 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
