4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
10 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
11 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
12 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
13 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
15 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
17 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
20 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
23 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
24 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
26 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
27 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
28 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
29 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
31 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
32 implementations; clients that use controlled
33 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
34 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
35 module instead for smaller code size.
37 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
38 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
39 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
40 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
41 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
43 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
44 implementations; clients that use controlled
45 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
46 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
47 module instead for smaller code size.
49 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
50 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
51 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
52 module if you need it.
54 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
57 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
60 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
61 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
62 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
63 module description for the applicable license.
65 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
66 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
67 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
69 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
70 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
71 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
74 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
75 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
76 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
78 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
80 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
81 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
83 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
84 error to standard error; that is now the
85 caller's responsibility. It returns an
86 error code of type enum strtol_error
87 instead of the integer option value, and stores
88 the option value via a new int * argument.
89 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
90 are now an option name and option argument
91 instead of an option argument and a type string,
92 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
94 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
96 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
97 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
99 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
102 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
103 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
105 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
108 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
109 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
113 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
114 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
119 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
120 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
121 that has a different signature.
123 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
124 #include "sigprocmask.h"
128 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
129 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
130 'long double' as a type exists.

133 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

177 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:

179 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
182 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
183 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
184 carray-list You can pass NULL.
192 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
193 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

216 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
217 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
