1 Important general notes
2 -----------------------
4 Date Modules Changes
6 2016-09-05 progname There is now an alternate module 'getprogname'. It
7 defines a getprogname() function; use it to obtain
8 the name of the current program.
9 Recommended use:
10 - In a program's main() function, and associated
11 usage() and help() functions, use 'progname'.
12 - In library code, or more generally any code that
13 is not near the main() function, use
14 'getprogname'.
16 2013-04-24 gettext If your project uses 'gettextize --intl' it is now
17 your responsibility to put -I$(top_builddir)/intl
18 into the Makefile.am for gnulib.
20 2012-06-27 elisp-comp The module 'elisp-comp' is removed; the script is
21 not independently useful outside of automake.
23 2012-06-21 gnulib-tool The option --with-tests is now implied by the
24 options --create-testdir, --test,
25 --create-megatestdir, --megatest.
27 2012-01-07 quotearg In the C locale, the function will no longer use
28 the grave accent character to begin a quoted
29 string (`like this'). It will use apostrophes
30 'like these' or, in Unicode locales, single quotes
31 ‘like these’. You may want to adjust any error
32 messages that hard code the quoting characters.
34 2010-09-04 gnulib-tool The option '--import' is no longer cumulative; it
35 now expects the complete list of modules and other
36 options on the command line. If you want to
37 augment (not set) the list of modules, use the
38 new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'.
40 User visible incompatible changes
41 ---------------------------------
43 Date Modules Changes
45 2018-08-18 getpass The include file is changed from "getpass.h" to
46 getpass-gnu <unistd.h>.
48 2018-07-17 hard-locale m4/hard-locale.m4 and gl_HARD_LOCALE are removed.
50 2018-07-05 renameat2 This module is renamed to 'renameatu' and all
51 its include files and functions are renamed
52 accordingly.
54 2017-12-30 chdir-safer This module is removed. It was deprecated
55 on 2006-07-17.
57 2017-11-24 posixtm Previously, callers had to specify either
58 PDS_LEADING_YEAR or PDS_TRAILING_YEAR (but
59 not both). Now, callers should specify
60 only PDS_TRAILING_YEAR; leading years are
61 requested by not specifying PDS_TRAILING_YEAR.
63 2017-08-14 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to a nonzero
64 value instead of to 0, as the 'open' and
65 'openat' modules now emulate O_CLOEXEC.
67 2017-07-23 strftime This module is renamed to 'nstrftime'.
69 2017-05-19 closeout close_stdout longer closes stderr when addresses
70 are being sanitized, as the sanitizer outputs to
71 stderr afterwards.
73 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
74 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
76 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
77 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
78 time zone and its name.
80 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
81 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
83 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
84 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
86 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
87 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
89 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
91 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
92 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
94 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
95 Programs intended to be portable to C++
96 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
98 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
99 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
100 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
102 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
103 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
104 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
105 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
107 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
109 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
110 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
111 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
112 modules now depend on time_rz.
114 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
115 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
116 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
117 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
119 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
120 detection routine, then the requirements are
121 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
122 than $LIB_ACL.
124 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
126 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
127 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
128 This changes both the ABI and the API.
129 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
130 shrink the current object; callers must now use
131 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
132 large positive) size for that.
134 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
135 were removed from public structures, and the
136 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
137 and compareseq.
139 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
140 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
141 The fdsavedir function is removed.
143 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
145 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
146 function.
148 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
149 processing is resettable. If your code uses
150 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
151 only one pass over the argument array.
153 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
154 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
156 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
157 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
158 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
159 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
161 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
162 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
163 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
165 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
166 function. If you need this function, you now need
167 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
169 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
170 function. If you need this function, you now need
171 to request the 'fstatat' module.
173 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
174 function. If you need this function, you now need
175 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
177 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
178 function. If you need this function, you now need
179 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
181 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
182 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
184 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
185 function. If you need this function, you now need
186 to request the 'fchownat' module.
188 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
189 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
191 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
192 function. If you need this function, you now need
193 to request the 'fstat' module.
195 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
197 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
198 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
200 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
201 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
202 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
203 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
204 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
206 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
207 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
208 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
209 portable to GNU/Hurd.
211 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
212 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
213 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
214 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
215 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
217 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
218 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
219 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
220 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
221 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
223 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
224 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
226 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
227 is now set to "no", not to ":".
229 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
230 to <unistd.h>.
232 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
233 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
235 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
236 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
238 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
239 default; to retain robust handling of directories
240 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
241 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
243 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
244 generalized.
246 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
247 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
248 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
250 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
251 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
252 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
253 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
254 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
255 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
256 rmdir header dosname.h.
257 savewd
258 stat
259 unlink
261 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
262 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
263 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
264 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
265 (which should have been internal to the module
266 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
267 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
268 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
269 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
270 substituted for.
272 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
273 module no longer guarantees that the following are
274 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
275 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
277 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
278 function. If you need this function, you now need
279 to request the 'iswblank' module.
281 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
283 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
284 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
286 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
287 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
289 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
290 parse-datetime module for the replacement
291 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
292 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
293 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
294 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
296 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
297 function. If you need this function, you now need
298 to request the 'waitpid' module.
300 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
301 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
302 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
303 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
305 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
306 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
307 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
308 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
310 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
311 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
312 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
313 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
314 may change again in the future once glibc provides
315 this feature as well.
317 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
319 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
320 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
321 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
323 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
324 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
326 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
327 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
329 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
330 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
332 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
333 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
334 renamed to amemxfrm.
336 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
337 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
339 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
340 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
341 --disable-cxx.
343 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
344 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
345 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
346 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
348 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
349 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
350 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
351 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
352 automatically.
354 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
355 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
356 get the functions that were previously provided.
358 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
359 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
361 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
362 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
363 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
364 instead.
366 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
367 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
368 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
369 instead.
371 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
372 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
373 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
374 instead.
376 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
377 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
378 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
380 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
381 must contain an explicit dependency on
382 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
384 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
385 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
386 effect except on very old platforms.
388 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
389 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
391 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
393 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
394 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
396 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
397 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
399 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
400 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
402 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
403 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
404 to <stdlib.h>.
406 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
407 rather than only defined to 1.
409 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
410 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
411 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
412 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
413 include <unistd.h>. For all other
414 functions provided by this module,
415 continue to include "openat.h".
417 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
418 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
419 iconv_t arguments.
421 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
422 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
424 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
425 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
426 "long options" and "options with optional
427 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
429 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
430 <stdio.h>.
432 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
433 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
434 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
435 The calling convention of the functions
436 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
438 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
439 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
440 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
441 The calling convention of the functions
442 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
444 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
445 The maint.mk file was copied from
446 coreutils, and the old
447 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
448 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
449 this will add several new checks. If some
450 new check is annoying, add the name of the
451 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
452 cfg.mk.
454 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
456 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
458 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
460 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
462 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
463 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
464 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
465 for it, like this:
466 errno = 0;
467 val = c_strtod (...);
468 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
469 xalloc_die ();
471 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
472 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
474 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
475 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
477 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
478 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
479 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
480 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
481 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
482 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
484 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
485 was removed.
487 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
488 <sys/stat.h>.
490 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
491 to <netdb.h>.
493 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
494 <math.h>.
495 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
496 <math.h>.
497 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
498 <math.h>.
500 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
501 <sys/stat.h>.
503 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
504 <dirent.h>.
506 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
507 to <unistd.h>.
509 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
510 to <unistd.h>.
512 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
513 $(LIBSOCKET).
515 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
516 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
517 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
518 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
519 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
521 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
522 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
523 socket descriptors are now compatible with
524 file descriptors. In general, this change
525 will simply improve your code's portability
526 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
527 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
528 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
529 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
530 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
531 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
533 This change does not remove the need to call
534 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
535 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
536 when you include the sys_socket module; while
537 the functionality will be restored soon, for
538 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
539 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
541 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
543 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
544 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
545 equivalent function, use function
546 xconcatenated_filename from module
547 'xconcat-filename'.
549 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
550 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
551 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
552 You may need to create a symbolic link for
553 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
554 installed in $prefix/lib.
556 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
557 to <string.h>.
559 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
560 to "glthread/lock.h".
561 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
562 to "glthread/tls.h".
564 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
565 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
566 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
568 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
569 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
570 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
571 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
573 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
574 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
575 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
576 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
578 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
579 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
580 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
581 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
582 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
584 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
586 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
587 to <arpa/inet.h>.
589 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
590 to <arpa/inet.h>.
592 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
593 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
595 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
596 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
597 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
598 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
600 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
601 implementations; clients that use controlled
602 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
603 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
604 module instead for smaller code size.
606 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
607 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
608 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
609 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
610 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
612 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
613 implementations; clients that use controlled
614 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
615 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
616 module instead for smaller code size.
618 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
619 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
620 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
621 module if you need it.
623 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
624 to <unistd.h>.
626 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
627 <strings.h>.
629 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
630 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
631 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
632 module description for the applicable license.
634 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
635 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
636 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
638 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
639 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
640 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
641 areadlink_with_size.
643 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
644 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
645 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
647 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
649 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
650 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
652 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
653 error to standard error; that is now the
654 caller's responsibility. It returns an
655 error code of type enum strtol_error
656 instead of the integer option value, and stores
657 the option value via a new int * argument.
658 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
659 are now an option name and option argument
660 instead of an option argument and a type string,
661 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
663 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
665 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
666 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
668 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
669 <wchar.h>.
671 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
672 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
674 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
675 <unistd.h>.
677 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
678 was renamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
679 renamed:
680 xallocsa -> xmalloca
682 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
683 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
684 macros were renamed:
685 allocsa -> malloca
686 freesa -> freea
688 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
689 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
690 that has a different signature.
692 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
693 #include "sigprocmask.h"
694 with
695 #include <signal.h>
697 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
698 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
699 'long double' as a type exists.

722 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
723 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
725 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
726 #include "vasprintf.h"
727 with
728 #include <stdio.h>
730 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to

744 to "unistr.h".
746 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
747 iconv_string -> str_iconv
748 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
749 arguments)
751 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
752 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
753 carray-list You can pass NULL.
754 linked-list
755 linkedhash-list

784 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
785 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
786 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
788 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
789 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
790 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
