Date Modules Changes
+2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
+ $(LIBSOCKET).
+
+2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
+ was removed. sys_select now includes a select
+ wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
+ and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
+ by the sys_socket on MinGW.
+
+2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
+ wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
+ socket descriptors are now compatible with
+ file descriptors. In general, this change
+ will simply improve your code's portability
+ between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
+ particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
+ close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
+ and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
+ On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
+ remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
+
+ This change does not remove the need to call
+ the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
+ gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
+ when you include the sys_socket module; while
+ the functionality will be restored soon, for
+ efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
+ poll system call and gnulib module instead.
+
+2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
+
+2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
+ concatenated_filename any more. To get an
+ equivalent function, use function
+ xconcatenated_filename from module
+ 'xconcat-filename'.

2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
