4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
12 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
14 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
16 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
19 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
22 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
25 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
28 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
31 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
34 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
35 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
36 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
37 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
38 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
40 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
41 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
42 socket descriptors are now compatible with
43 file descriptors. In general, this change
44 will simply improve your code's portability
45 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
46 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
47 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
48 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
49 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
50 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
52 This change does not remove the need to call
53 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
54 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
55 when you include the sys_socket module; while
56 the functionality will be restored soon, for
57 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
58 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
60 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
62 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
63 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
64 equivalent function, use function
65 xconcatenated_filename from module
68 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
69 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
70 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
71 You may need to create a symbolic link for
72 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
73 installed in $prefix/lib.
75 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
78 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
80 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
83 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
84 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
85 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
87 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
89 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
92 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
93 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
94 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
95 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
97 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
98 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
99 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
100 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
101 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
103 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
105 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
108 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
111 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
112 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
114 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
115 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
116 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
117 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
119 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
120 implementations; clients that use controlled
121 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
122 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
123 module instead for smaller code size.
125 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
126 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
127 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
128 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
129 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
131 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
132 implementations; clients that use controlled
133 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
134 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
135 module instead for smaller code size.
137 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
138 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
139 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
140 module if you need it.
142 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
145 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
148 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
149 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
150 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
151 module description for the applicable license.
153 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
154 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
155 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
157 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
158 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
159 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
162 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
163 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
164 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
166 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
168 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
169 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
171 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
172 error to standard error; that is now the
173 caller's responsibility. It returns an
174 error code of type enum strtol_error
175 instead of the integer option value, and stores
176 the option value via a new int * argument.
177 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
178 are now an option name and option argument
179 instead of an option argument and a type string,
180 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
182 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
184 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
185 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
187 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
190 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
191 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
193 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
196 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
197 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
201 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
202 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
207 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
208 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
209 that has a different signature.
211 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
212 #include "sigprocmask.h"
216 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
217 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
218 'long double' as a type exists.

262 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
265 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
266 iconv_string -> str_iconv
267 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
270 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
271 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
272 carray-list You can pass NULL.
280 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
281 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

297 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
298 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
300 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
301 using the "des" module directly.
303 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
304 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
305 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
