4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
12 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
13 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
14 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
15 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
16 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
18 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
19 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
20 socket descriptors are now compatible with
21 file descriptors. In general, this change
22 will simply improve your code's portability
23 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
24 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
25 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
26 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
27 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
28 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
30 This change does not remove the need to call
31 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
32 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
33 when you include the sys_socket module; while
34 the functionality will be restored soon, for
35 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
36 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
38 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
40 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
41 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
42 equivalent function, use function
43 xconcatenated_filename from module
46 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
47 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
48 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
49 You may need to create a symbolic link for
50 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
51 installed in $prefix/lib.
53 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
56 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
58 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
61 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
62 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
63 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
65 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
67 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
70 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
71 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
72 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
73 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
75 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
76 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
77 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
78 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
79 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
81 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
83 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
86 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
89 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
90 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
92 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
93 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
94 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
95 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
97 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
98 implementations; clients that use controlled
99 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
100 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
101 module instead for smaller code size.
103 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
104 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
105 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
106 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
107 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
109 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
110 implementations; clients that use controlled
111 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
112 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
113 module instead for smaller code size.
115 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
116 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
117 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
118 module if you need it.
120 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
123 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
126 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
127 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
128 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
129 module description for the applicable license.
131 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
132 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
133 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
135 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
136 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
137 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
140 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
141 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
142 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
144 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
146 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
147 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
149 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
150 error to standard error; that is now the
151 caller's responsibility. It returns an
152 error code of type enum strtol_error
153 instead of the integer option value, and stores
154 the option value via a new int * argument.
155 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
156 are now an option name and option argument
157 instead of an option argument and a type string,
158 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
160 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
162 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
163 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
165 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
168 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
169 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
171 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
174 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
175 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
179 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
180 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
185 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
186 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
187 that has a different signature.
189 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
190 #include "sigprocmask.h"
194 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
195 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
196 'long double' as a type exists.
198 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
199 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

219 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
220 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
222 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
223 #include "vasprintf.h"
227 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
230 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
232 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
233 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
234 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
236 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

238 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
240 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
243 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
244 iconv_string -> str_iconv
245 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
248 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
249 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
250 carray-list You can pass NULL.
258 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
259 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
263 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
266 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
267 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
268 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

274 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
275 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
276 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
278 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
279 using the "des" module directly.
281 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
282 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
283 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.

286 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
287 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
292 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
299 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
