4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
10 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
11 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
12 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
14 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
15 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
16 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
17 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
18 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
20 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
22 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
25 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
28 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
29 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
31 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
32 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
33 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
34 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
36 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
37 implementations; clients that use controlled
38 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
39 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
40 module instead for smaller code size.
42 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
43 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
44 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
45 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
46 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
48 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
49 implementations; clients that use controlled
50 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
51 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
52 module instead for smaller code size.
54 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
55 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
56 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
57 module if you need it.
59 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
62 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
65 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
66 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
67 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
68 module description for the applicable license.
70 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
71 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
72 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
74 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
75 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
76 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
79 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
80 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
81 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
83 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
85 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
86 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
88 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
89 error to standard error; that is now the
90 caller's responsibility. It returns an
91 error code of type enum strtol_error
92 instead of the integer option value, and stores
93 the option value via a new int * argument.
94 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
95 are now an option name and option argument
96 instead of an option argument and a type string,
97 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
99 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
101 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
102 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
104 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
107 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
108 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
110 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
113 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
114 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
118 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
119 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
124 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
125 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
126 that has a different signature.
128 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
129 #include "sigprocmask.h"
133 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
134 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
135 'long double' as a type exists.

138 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

179 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
182 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
183 iconv_string -> str_iconv
184 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
187 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
188 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
189 carray-list You can pass NULL.

198 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

221 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
222 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
