4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
10 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
12 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
13 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
14 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
17 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
18 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
19 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
22 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
23 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
24 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
27 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
28 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
29 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
31 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
32 must contain an explicit dependency on
35 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
36 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
37 effect except on very old platforms.
39 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
40 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
42 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
44 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
47 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
50 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
53 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
54 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
57 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
58 rather than only defined to 1.
60 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
61 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
62 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
63 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
64 include <unistd.h>. For all other
65 functions provided by this module,
66 continue to include "openat.h".
68 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
69 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
72 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
73 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
75 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
76 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
77 "long options" and "options with optional
78 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
80 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
83 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
84 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
85 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
86 The calling convention of the functions
87 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
89 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
90 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
91 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
92 The calling convention of the functions
93 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
95 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
96 The maint.mk file was copied from
97 coreutils, and the old
98 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
99 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
100 this will add several new checks. If some
101 new check is annoying, add the name of the
102 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
105 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
107 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
109 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
111 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
113 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
114 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
115 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
118 val = c_strtod (...);
119 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
122 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
123 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
125 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
126 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
128 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
129 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
130 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
131 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
132 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
133 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
135 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
138 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
141 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
144 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
146 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
148 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
151 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
154 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
157 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
160 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
163 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
166 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
167 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
168 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
169 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
170 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
172 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
173 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
174 socket descriptors are now compatible with
175 file descriptors. In general, this change
176 will simply improve your code's portability
177 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
178 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
179 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
180 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
181 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
182 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
184 This change does not remove the need to call
185 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
186 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
187 when you include the sys_socket module; while
188 the functionality will be restored soon, for
189 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
190 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
192 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
194 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
195 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
196 equivalent function, use function
197 xconcatenated_filename from module
200 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
201 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
202 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
203 You may need to create a symbolic link for
204 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
205 installed in $prefix/lib.
207 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
210 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
211 to "glthread/lock.h".
212 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
215 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
216 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
217 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
219 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
220 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
221 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
222 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
224 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
225 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
226 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
227 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
229 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
230 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
231 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
232 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
233 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
235 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
237 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
240 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
243 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
244 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
246 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
247 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
248 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
249 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
251 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
252 implementations; clients that use controlled
253 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
254 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
255 module instead for smaller code size.
257 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
258 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
259 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
260 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
261 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
263 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
264 implementations; clients that use controlled
265 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
266 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
267 module instead for smaller code size.
269 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
270 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
271 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
272 module if you need it.
274 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
277 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
280 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
281 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
282 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
283 module description for the applicable license.
285 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
286 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
287 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
289 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
290 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
291 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
294 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
295 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
296 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
298 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
300 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
301 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
303 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
304 error to standard error; that is now the
305 caller's responsibility. It returns an
306 error code of type enum strtol_error
307 instead of the integer option value, and stores
308 the option value via a new int * argument.
309 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
310 are now an option name and option argument
311 instead of an option argument and a type string,
312 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
314 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
316 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
317 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
319 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
322 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
323 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
325 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
328 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
329 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
333 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
334 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
339 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
340 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
341 that has a different signature.
343 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
344 #include "sigprocmask.h"
348 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
349 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
350 'long double' as a type exists.
352 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
353 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.
354 des Renamed to crypto/des.

373 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
374 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
376 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
377 #include "vasprintf.h"
381 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
384 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
386 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
387 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
388 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
390 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

392 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
394 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
397 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
398 iconv_string -> str_iconv
399 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
402 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
403 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
404 carray-list You can pass NULL.
412 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
413 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
417 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
420 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
421 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
422 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

428 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
429 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
430 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
432 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
433 using the "des" module directly.
435 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
436 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
437 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
439 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
440 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
441 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
446 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
453 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
454 # whitespace-check-buffer-indent: nil
