4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
11 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
13 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
15 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
16 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
17 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
21 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
24 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
25 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
27 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
28 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
30 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
31 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
32 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
33 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
34 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
35 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
37 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
40 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
43 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
46 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
48 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
50 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
53 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
56 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
59 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
62 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
65 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
68 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
69 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
70 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
71 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
72 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
74 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
75 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
76 socket descriptors are now compatible with
77 file descriptors. In general, this change
78 will simply improve your code's portability
79 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
80 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
81 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
82 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
83 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
84 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
86 This change does not remove the need to call
87 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
88 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
89 when you include the sys_socket module; while
90 the functionality will be restored soon, for
91 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
92 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
94 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
96 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
97 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
98 equivalent function, use function
99 xconcatenated_filename from module
102 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
103 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
104 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
105 You may need to create a symbolic link for
106 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
107 installed in $prefix/lib.
109 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
112 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
113 to "glthread/lock.h".
114 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
117 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
118 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
119 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
121 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
122 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
123 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
124 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
126 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
127 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
128 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
129 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
131 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
132 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
133 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
134 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
135 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
137 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
139 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
142 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
145 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
146 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
148 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
149 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
150 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
151 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
153 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
154 implementations; clients that use controlled
155 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
156 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
157 module instead for smaller code size.
159 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
160 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
161 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
162 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
163 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
165 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
166 implementations; clients that use controlled
167 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
168 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
169 module instead for smaller code size.
171 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
172 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
173 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
174 module if you need it.
176 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
179 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
182 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
183 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
184 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
185 module description for the applicable license.
187 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
188 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
189 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
191 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
192 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
193 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
196 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
197 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
198 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
200 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
202 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
203 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
205 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
206 error to standard error; that is now the
207 caller's responsibility. It returns an
208 error code of type enum strtol_error
209 instead of the integer option value, and stores
210 the option value via a new int * argument.
211 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
212 are now an option name and option argument
213 instead of an option argument and a type string,
214 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
216 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
218 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
219 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
221 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
224 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
225 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
227 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
230 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
231 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
235 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
236 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
241 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
242 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
243 that has a different signature.
245 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
246 #include "sigprocmask.h"
250 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
251 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
252 'long double' as a type exists.
254 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
255 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

286 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
288 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
289 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
290 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

294 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
296 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
299 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
300 iconv_string -> str_iconv
301 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
304 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
305 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
306 carray-list You can pass NULL.
314 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
315 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

331 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
332 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
334 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
335 using the "des" module directly.
337 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
338 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
339 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
