5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
10 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
11 "long options" and "options with optional
12 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
14 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
17 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
18 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
19 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
20 The calling convention of the functions
21 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
23 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
24 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
25 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
26 The calling convention of the functions
27 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
29 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
30 The maint.mk file was copied from
31 coreutils, and the old
32 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
33 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
34 this will add several new checks. If some
35 new check is annoying, add the name of the
36 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
39 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
41 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
43 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
45 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
47 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
48 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
49 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
53 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
56 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
57 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
59 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
60 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
62 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
63 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
64 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
65 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
66 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
67 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
69 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
72 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
75 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
78 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
80 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
82 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
85 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
88 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
91 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
94 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
97 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
100 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
101 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
102 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
103 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
104 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
106 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
107 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
108 socket descriptors are now compatible with
109 file descriptors. In general, this change
110 will simply improve your code's portability
111 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
112 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
113 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
114 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
115 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
116 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
118 This change does not remove the need to call
119 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
120 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
121 when you include the sys_socket module; while
122 the functionality will be restored soon, for
123 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
124 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
126 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
128 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
129 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
130 equivalent function, use function
131 xconcatenated_filename from module
134 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
135 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
136 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
137 You may need to create a symbolic link for
138 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
139 installed in $prefix/lib.
141 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
144 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
145 to "glthread/lock.h".
146 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
149 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
150 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
151 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
153 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
154 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
155 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
156 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
158 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
159 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
160 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
161 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
163 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
164 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
165 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
166 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
167 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
169 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
171 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
174 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
177 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
178 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
180 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
181 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
182 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
183 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
185 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
186 implementations; clients that use controlled
187 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
188 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
189 module instead for smaller code size.
191 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
192 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
193 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
194 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
195 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
197 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
198 implementations; clients that use controlled
199 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
200 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
201 module instead for smaller code size.
203 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
204 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
205 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
206 module if you need it.
208 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
211 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
214 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
215 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
216 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
217 module description for the applicable license.
219 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
220 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
221 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
223 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
224 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
225 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
228 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
229 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
230 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
232 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
234 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
235 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
237 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
238 error to standard error; that is now the
239 caller's responsibility. It returns an
240 error code of type enum strtol_error
241 instead of the integer option value, and stores
242 the option value via a new int * argument.
243 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
244 are now an option name and option argument
245 instead of an option argument and a type string,
246 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
248 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
250 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
251 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
253 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
256 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
257 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
259 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
262 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
263 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
267 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
268 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
273 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
274 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
275 that has a different signature.
277 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
278 #include "sigprocmask.h"
282 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
283 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
284 'long double' as a type exists.
286 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
287 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

310 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
311 #include "vasprintf.h"
315 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
318 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
320 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
321 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
322 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
324 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

326 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
328 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
331 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
332 iconv_string -> str_iconv
333 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
336 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
337 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
338 carray-list You can pass NULL.
346 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
347 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
351 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
354 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
355 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
356 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

363 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
364 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
366 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
367 using the "des" module directly.
369 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
370 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
371 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
373 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
374 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
375 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
380 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
387 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
