4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
12 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
15 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
18 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
21 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
24 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
25 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
26 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
27 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
28 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
30 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
31 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
32 socket descriptors are now compatible with
33 file descriptors. In general, this change
34 will simply improve your code's portability
35 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
36 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
37 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
38 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
39 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
40 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
42 This change does not remove the need to call
43 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
44 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
45 when you include the sys_socket module; while
46 the functionality will be restored soon, for
47 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
48 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
50 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
52 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
53 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
54 equivalent function, use function
55 xconcatenated_filename from module
58 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
59 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
60 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
61 You may need to create a symbolic link for
62 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
63 installed in $prefix/lib.
65 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
68 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
70 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
73 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
74 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
75 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
77 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
79 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
82 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
83 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
84 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
85 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
87 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
88 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
89 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
90 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
91 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
93 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
95 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
98 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
101 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
102 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
104 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
105 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
106 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
107 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
109 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
110 implementations; clients that use controlled
111 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
112 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
113 module instead for smaller code size.
115 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
116 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
117 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
118 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
119 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
121 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
122 implementations; clients that use controlled
123 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
124 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
125 module instead for smaller code size.
127 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
128 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
129 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
130 module if you need it.
132 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
135 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
138 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
139 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
140 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
141 module description for the applicable license.
143 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
144 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
145 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
147 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
148 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
149 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
152 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
153 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
154 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
156 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
158 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
159 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
161 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
162 error to standard error; that is now the
163 caller's responsibility. It returns an
164 error code of type enum strtol_error
165 instead of the integer option value, and stores
166 the option value via a new int * argument.
167 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
168 are now an option name and option argument
169 instead of an option argument and a type string,
170 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
172 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
174 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
175 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
177 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
180 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
181 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
183 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
186 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
187 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
191 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
192 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
197 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
198 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
199 that has a different signature.
201 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
202 #include "sigprocmask.h"
206 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
207 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
208 'long double' as a type exists.
210 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
211 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

235 #include "vasprintf.h"
239 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
242 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
244 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
245 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
246 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

250 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
252 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
255 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
256 iconv_string -> str_iconv
257 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
260 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
261 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
262 carray-list You can pass NULL.
270 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
271 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
275 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
278 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
279 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,

287 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
288 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
290 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
291 using the "des" module directly.
293 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
294 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
295 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
