4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
11 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
13 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
14 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
15 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
19 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
22 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
23 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
25 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
26 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
28 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
29 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
30 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
31 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
32 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
33 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
35 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
38 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
41 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
44 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
46 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
48 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
51 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
54 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
57 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
60 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
63 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
66 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
67 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
68 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
69 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
70 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
72 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
73 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
74 socket descriptors are now compatible with
75 file descriptors. In general, this change
76 will simply improve your code's portability
77 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
78 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
79 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
80 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
81 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
82 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
84 This change does not remove the need to call
85 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
86 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
87 when you include the sys_socket module; while
88 the functionality will be restored soon, for
89 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
90 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
92 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
94 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
95 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
96 equivalent function, use function
97 xconcatenated_filename from module
100 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
101 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
102 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
103 You may need to create a symbolic link for
104 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
105 installed in $prefix/lib.
107 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
110 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
111 to "glthread/lock.h".
112 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
115 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
116 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
117 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
119 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
120 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
121 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
122 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
124 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
125 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
126 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
127 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
129 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
130 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
131 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
132 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
133 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
135 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
137 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
140 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
143 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
144 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
146 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
147 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
148 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
149 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
151 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
152 implementations; clients that use controlled
153 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
154 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
155 module instead for smaller code size.
157 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
158 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
159 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
160 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
161 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
163 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
164 implementations; clients that use controlled
165 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
166 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
167 module instead for smaller code size.
169 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
170 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
171 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
172 module if you need it.
174 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
177 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
180 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
181 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
182 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
183 module description for the applicable license.
185 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
186 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
187 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
189 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
190 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
191 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
194 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
195 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
196 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
198 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
200 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
201 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
203 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
204 error to standard error; that is now the
205 caller's responsibility. It returns an
206 error code of type enum strtol_error
207 instead of the integer option value, and stores
208 the option value via a new int * argument.
209 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
210 are now an option name and option argument
211 instead of an option argument and a type string,
212 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
214 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
216 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
217 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
219 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
222 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
223 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
225 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
228 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
229 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
233 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
234 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
239 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
240 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
241 that has a different signature.
243 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
244 #include "sigprocmask.h"
248 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
249 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
250 'long double' as a type exists.
252 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
253 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

284 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
286 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
287 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
288 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

292 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
294 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
297 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
298 iconv_string -> str_iconv
299 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
302 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
303 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
304 carray-list You can pass NULL.
312 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
313 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

329 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
330 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
332 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
333 using the "des" module directly.
335 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
336 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
337 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
