4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-09-23 same-inode The macro SAME_INODE is now tri-state, adding -1
12 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
13 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
16 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
17 rather than only defined to 1.
19 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
20 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
21 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
22 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
23 include <unistd.h>. For all other
24 functions provided by this module,
25 continue to include "openat.h".
27 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
28 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
31 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
32 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
34 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
35 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
36 "long options" and "options with optional
37 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
39 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
42 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
43 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
44 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
45 The calling convention of the functions
46 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
48 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
49 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
50 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
51 The calling convention of the functions
52 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
54 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
55 The maint.mk file was copied from
56 coreutils, and the old
57 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
58 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
59 this will add several new checks. If some
60 new check is annoying, add the name of the
61 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
64 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
66 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
68 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
70 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
72 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
73 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
74 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
78 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
81 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
82 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
84 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
85 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
87 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
88 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
89 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
90 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
91 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
92 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
94 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
97 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
100 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
103 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
105 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
107 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
110 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
113 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
116 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
119 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
122 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
125 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
126 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
127 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
128 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
129 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
131 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
132 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
133 socket descriptors are now compatible with
134 file descriptors. In general, this change
135 will simply improve your code's portability
136 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
137 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
138 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
139 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
140 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
141 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
143 This change does not remove the need to call
144 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
145 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
146 when you include the sys_socket module; while
147 the functionality will be restored soon, for
148 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
149 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
151 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
153 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
154 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
155 equivalent function, use function
156 xconcatenated_filename from module
159 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
160 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
161 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
162 You may need to create a symbolic link for
163 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
164 installed in $prefix/lib.
166 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
169 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
170 to "glthread/lock.h".
171 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
174 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
175 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
176 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
178 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
179 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
180 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
181 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
183 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
184 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
185 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
186 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
188 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
189 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
190 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
191 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
192 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
194 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
196 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
199 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
202 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
203 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
205 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
206 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
207 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
208 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
210 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
211 implementations; clients that use controlled
212 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
213 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
214 module instead for smaller code size.
216 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
217 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
218 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
219 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
220 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
222 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
223 implementations; clients that use controlled
224 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
225 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
226 module instead for smaller code size.
228 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
229 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
230 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
231 module if you need it.
233 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
236 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
239 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
240 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
241 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
242 module description for the applicable license.
244 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
245 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
246 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
248 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
249 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
250 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
253 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
254 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
255 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
257 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
259 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
260 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
262 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
263 error to standard error; that is now the
264 caller's responsibility. It returns an
265 error code of type enum strtol_error
266 instead of the integer option value, and stores
267 the option value via a new int * argument.
268 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
269 are now an option name and option argument
270 instead of an option argument and a type string,
271 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
273 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
275 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
276 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
278 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
281 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
282 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
284 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
287 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
288 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
292 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
293 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
298 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
299 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
300 that has a different signature.
302 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
303 #include "sigprocmask.h"
307 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
308 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
309 'long double' as a type exists.
311 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
312 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

335 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
336 #include "vasprintf.h"
340 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
343 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
345 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
346 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
347 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
349 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

351 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
353 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
356 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
357 iconv_string -> str_iconv
358 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
361 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
362 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
363 carray-list You can pass NULL.
371 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
372 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
376 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
379 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
380 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
381 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

388 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
389 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
391 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
392 using the "des" module directly.
394 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
395 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
396 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
398 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
399 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
400 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
405 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
412 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
