4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
12 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
15 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
18 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
21 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
22 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
23 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
24 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
25 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
27 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
28 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
29 socket descriptors are now compatible with
30 file descriptors. In general, this change
31 will simply improve your code's portability
32 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
33 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
34 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
35 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
36 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
37 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
39 This change does not remove the need to call
40 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
41 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
42 when you include the sys_socket module; while
43 the functionality will be restored soon, for
44 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
45 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
47 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
49 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
50 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
51 equivalent function, use function
52 xconcatenated_filename from module
55 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
56 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
57 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
58 You may need to create a symbolic link for
59 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
60 installed in $prefix/lib.
62 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
65 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
67 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
70 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
71 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
72 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
74 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
76 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
79 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
80 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
81 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
82 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
84 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
85 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
86 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
87 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
88 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
90 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
92 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
95 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
98 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
99 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
101 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
102 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
103 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
104 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
106 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
107 implementations; clients that use controlled
108 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
109 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
110 module instead for smaller code size.
112 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
113 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
114 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
115 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
116 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
118 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
119 implementations; clients that use controlled
120 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
121 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
122 module instead for smaller code size.
124 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
125 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
126 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
127 module if you need it.
129 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
132 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
135 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
136 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
137 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
138 module description for the applicable license.
140 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
141 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
142 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
144 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
145 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
146 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
149 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
150 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
151 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
153 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
155 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
156 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
158 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
159 error to standard error; that is now the
160 caller's responsibility. It returns an
161 error code of type enum strtol_error
162 instead of the integer option value, and stores
163 the option value via a new int * argument.
164 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
165 are now an option name and option argument
166 instead of an option argument and a type string,
167 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
169 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
171 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
172 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
174 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
177 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
178 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
180 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
183 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
184 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
188 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
189 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
194 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
195 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
196 that has a different signature.
198 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
199 #include "sigprocmask.h"
203 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
204 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
205 'long double' as a type exists.
207 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
208 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

239 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
241 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
242 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
243 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

247 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
249 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
252 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
253 iconv_string -> str_iconv
254 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
257 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
258 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
259 carray-list You can pass NULL.
267 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
268 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

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