5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
10 The maint.mk file was copied from
11 coreutils, and the old
12 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
13 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
14 this will add several new checks. If some
15 new check is annoying, add the name of the
16 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
19 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
21 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
23 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
25 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
27 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
28 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
29 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
33 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
36 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
37 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
39 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
40 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
42 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
43 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
44 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
45 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
46 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
47 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
49 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
52 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
55 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
58 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
60 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
62 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
65 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
68 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
71 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
74 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
77 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
80 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
81 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
82 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
83 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
84 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
86 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
87 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
88 socket descriptors are now compatible with
89 file descriptors. In general, this change
90 will simply improve your code's portability
91 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
92 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
93 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
94 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
95 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
96 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
98 This change does not remove the need to call
99 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
100 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
101 when you include the sys_socket module; while
102 the functionality will be restored soon, for
103 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
104 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
106 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
108 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
109 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
110 equivalent function, use function
111 xconcatenated_filename from module
114 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
115 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
116 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
117 You may need to create a symbolic link for
118 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
119 installed in $prefix/lib.
121 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
124 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
125 to "glthread/lock.h".
126 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
129 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
130 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
131 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
133 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
134 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
135 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
136 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
138 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
139 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
140 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
141 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
143 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
144 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
145 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
146 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
147 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
149 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
151 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
154 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
157 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
158 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
160 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
161 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
162 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
163 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
165 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
166 implementations; clients that use controlled
167 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
168 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
169 module instead for smaller code size.
171 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
172 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
173 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
174 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
175 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
177 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
178 implementations; clients that use controlled
179 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
180 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
181 module instead for smaller code size.
183 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
184 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
185 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
186 module if you need it.
188 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
191 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
194 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
195 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
196 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
197 module description for the applicable license.
199 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
200 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
201 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
203 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
204 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
205 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
208 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
209 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
210 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
212 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
214 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
215 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
217 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
218 error to standard error; that is now the
219 caller's responsibility. It returns an
220 error code of type enum strtol_error
221 instead of the integer option value, and stores
222 the option value via a new int * argument.
223 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
224 are now an option name and option argument
225 instead of an option argument and a type string,
226 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
228 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
230 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
231 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
233 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
236 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
237 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
239 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
242 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
243 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
247 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
248 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
253 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
254 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
255 that has a different signature.
257 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
258 #include "sigprocmask.h"
262 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
263 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
264 'long double' as a type exists.
266 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
267 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.
268 des Renamed to crypto/des.

287 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
288 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
290 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
291 #include "vasprintf.h"
295 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
298 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
300 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
301 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
302 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
304 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

306 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
308 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
311 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
312 iconv_string -> str_iconv
313 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
316 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
317 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
318 carray-list You can pass NULL.
326 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
327 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
331 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
334 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
335 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
336 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

343 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
344 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
346 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
347 using the "des" module directly.
349 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
350 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
351 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.

354 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
355 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
360 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
367 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
