4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
12 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
15 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
16 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
17 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
18 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
19 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
21 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
22 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
23 socket descriptors are now compatible with
24 file descriptors. In general, this change
25 will simply improve your code's portability
26 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
27 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
28 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
29 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
30 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
31 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
33 This change does not remove the need to call
34 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
35 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
36 when you include the sys_socket module; while
37 the functionality will be restored soon, for
38 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
39 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
41 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
43 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
44 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
45 equivalent function, use function
46 xconcatenated_filename from module
49 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
50 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
51 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
52 You may need to create a symbolic link for
53 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
54 installed in $prefix/lib.
56 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
59 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
61 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
64 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
65 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
66 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
68 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
70 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
73 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
74 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
75 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
76 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
78 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
79 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
80 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
81 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
82 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
84 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
86 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
89 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
92 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
93 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
95 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
96 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
97 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
98 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
100 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
101 implementations; clients that use controlled
102 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
103 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
104 module instead for smaller code size.
106 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
107 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
108 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
109 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
110 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
112 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
113 implementations; clients that use controlled
114 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
115 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
116 module instead for smaller code size.
118 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
119 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
120 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
121 module if you need it.
123 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
126 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
129 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
130 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
131 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
132 module description for the applicable license.
134 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
135 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
136 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
138 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
139 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
140 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
143 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
144 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
145 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
147 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
149 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
150 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
152 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
153 error to standard error; that is now the
154 caller's responsibility. It returns an
155 error code of type enum strtol_error
156 instead of the integer option value, and stores
157 the option value via a new int * argument.
158 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
159 are now an option name and option argument
160 instead of an option argument and a type string,
161 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
163 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
165 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
166 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
168 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
171 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
172 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
174 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
177 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
178 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
182 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
183 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
188 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
189 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
190 that has a different signature.
192 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
193 #include "sigprocmask.h"
197 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
198 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
199 'long double' as a type exists.
201 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
202 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

225 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
226 #include "vasprintf.h"
230 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
233 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
235 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
236 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
237 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
239 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

241 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
243 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
246 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
247 iconv_string -> str_iconv
248 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
251 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
252 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
253 carray-list You can pass NULL.
261 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
262 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

269 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,

278 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
279 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
281 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
282 using the "des" module directly.
284 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
285 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
286 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
