4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
11 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
13 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
15 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
17 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
18 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
19 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
23 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
26 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
27 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
29 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
30 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
32 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
33 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
34 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
35 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
36 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
37 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
39 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
42 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
45 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
48 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
50 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
52 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
55 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
58 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
61 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
64 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
67 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
70 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
71 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
72 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
73 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
74 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
76 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
77 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
78 socket descriptors are now compatible with
79 file descriptors. In general, this change
80 will simply improve your code's portability
81 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
82 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
83 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
84 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
85 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
86 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
88 This change does not remove the need to call
89 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
90 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
91 when you include the sys_socket module; while
92 the functionality will be restored soon, for
93 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
94 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
96 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
98 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
99 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
100 equivalent function, use function
101 xconcatenated_filename from module
104 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
105 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
106 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
107 You may need to create a symbolic link for
108 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
109 installed in $prefix/lib.
111 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
114 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
115 to "glthread/lock.h".
116 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
119 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
120 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
121 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
123 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
124 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
125 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
126 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
128 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
129 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
130 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
131 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
133 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
134 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
135 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
136 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
137 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
139 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
141 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
144 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
147 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
148 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
150 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
151 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
152 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
153 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
155 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
156 implementations; clients that use controlled
157 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
158 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
159 module instead for smaller code size.
161 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
162 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
163 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
164 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
165 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
167 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
168 implementations; clients that use controlled
169 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
170 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
171 module instead for smaller code size.
173 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
174 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
175 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
176 module if you need it.
178 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
181 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
184 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
185 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
186 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
187 module description for the applicable license.
189 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
190 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
191 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
193 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
194 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
195 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
198 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
199 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
200 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
202 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
204 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
205 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
207 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
208 error to standard error; that is now the
209 caller's responsibility. It returns an
210 error code of type enum strtol_error
211 instead of the integer option value, and stores
212 the option value via a new int * argument.
213 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
214 are now an option name and option argument
215 instead of an option argument and a type string,
216 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
218 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
220 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
221 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
223 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
226 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
227 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
229 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
232 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
233 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
237 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
238 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
243 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
244 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
245 that has a different signature.
247 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
248 #include "sigprocmask.h"
252 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
253 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
254 'long double' as a type exists.
256 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
257 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

280 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
281 #include "vasprintf.h"
285 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
288 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
290 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
291 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
292 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

296 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
298 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
301 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
302 iconv_string -> str_iconv
303 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
306 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
307 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
308 carray-list You can pass NULL.
316 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
317 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
321 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
324 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,

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

344 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
345 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
350 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
357 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
