5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
10 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
11 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
12 You may need to create a symbolic link for
13 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
14 installed in $prefix/lib.
16 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
19 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
21 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
24 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
25 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
26 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
28 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
30 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
33 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
34 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
35 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
36 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
38 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
39 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
40 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
41 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
42 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
44 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
46 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
49 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
52 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
53 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
55 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
56 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
57 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
58 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
60 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
61 implementations; clients that use controlled
62 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
63 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
64 module instead for smaller code size.
66 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
67 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
68 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
69 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
70 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
72 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
73 implementations; clients that use controlled
74 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
75 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
76 module instead for smaller code size.
78 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
79 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
80 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
81 module if you need it.
83 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
86 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
89 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
90 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
91 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
92 module description for the applicable license.
94 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
95 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
96 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
98 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
99 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
100 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
103 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
104 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
105 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
107 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
109 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
110 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
112 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
113 error to standard error; that is now the
114 caller's responsibility. It returns an
115 error code of type enum strtol_error
116 instead of the integer option value, and stores
117 the option value via a new int * argument.
118 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
119 are now an option name and option argument
120 instead of an option argument and a type string,
121 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
123 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
125 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
126 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
128 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
131 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
132 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
134 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
137 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
138 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
142 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
143 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
148 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
149 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
150 that has a different signature.
152 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
153 #include "sigprocmask.h"
157 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
158 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
159 'long double' as a type exists.
161 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
162 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

185 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
186 #include "vasprintf.h"
190 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
193 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
195 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
196 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
197 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
199 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

201 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
203 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
206 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
207 iconv_string -> str_iconv
208 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
211 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
212 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
213 carray-list You can pass NULL.
221 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
222 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

238 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
239 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
241 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
242 using the "des" module directly.
244 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
245 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
246 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
