1 Important general notes
2 -----------------------
4 Date Modules Changes
6 2019-01-04 (all) The meaning of the 'Link' section in the module
7 descriptions has been clarified: It overrides the
8 combined 'Link' sections from the dependencies.
10 2018-10-22 (all) Automake >= 1.11 and Autoconf >= 2.63 are required.
12 2016-09-05 progname There is now an alternate module 'getprogname'. It
13 defines a getprogname() function; use it to obtain
14 the name of the current program.
15 Recommended use:
16 - In a program's main() function, and associated
17 usage() and help() functions, use 'progname'.
18 - In library code, or more generally any code that
19 is not near the main() function, use
20 'getprogname'.
22 2013-04-24 gettext If your project uses 'gettextize --intl' it is now
23 your responsibility to put -I$(top_builddir)/intl
24 into the Makefile.am for gnulib.
26 2012-06-27 elisp-comp The module 'elisp-comp' is removed; the script is
27 not independently useful outside of automake.
29 2012-06-21 gnulib-tool The option --with-tests is now implied by the
30 options --create-testdir, --test,
31 --create-megatestdir, --megatest.
33 2012-01-07 quotearg In the C locale, the function will no longer use
34 the grave accent character to begin a quoted
35 string (`like this'). It will use apostrophes
36 'like these' or, in Unicode locales, single quotes
37 ‘like these’. You may want to adjust any error
38 messages that hard code the quoting characters.
40 2010-09-04 gnulib-tool The option '--import' is no longer cumulative; it
41 now expects the complete list of modules and other
42 options on the command line. If you want to
43 augment (not set) the list of modules, use the
44 new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'.
46 User visible incompatible changes
47 ---------------------------------
49 Date Modules Changes
51 2018-10-23 backupfile backup_file_rename and find_backup_file_name
52 now take an additional directory file descriptor
53 argument. Pass AT_FDCWD to get the old behavior.
55 2018-08-18 getpass The include file is changed from "getpass.h" to
56 getpass-gnu <unistd.h>.
58 2018-07-17 hard-locale m4/hard-locale.m4 and gl_HARD_LOCALE are removed.
60 2018-07-05 renameat2 This module is renamed to 'renameatu' and all
61 its include files and functions are renamed
62 accordingly.
64 2017-12-30 chdir-safer This module is removed. It was deprecated
65 on 2006-07-17.
67 2017-11-24 posixtm Previously, callers had to specify either
68 PDS_LEADING_YEAR or PDS_TRAILING_YEAR (but
69 not both). Now, callers should specify
70 only PDS_TRAILING_YEAR; leading years are
71 requested by not specifying PDS_TRAILING_YEAR.
73 2017-08-14 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to a nonzero
74 value instead of to 0, as the 'open' and
75 'openat' modules now emulate O_CLOEXEC.
77 2017-07-23 strftime This module is renamed to 'nstrftime'.
79 2017-05-19 closeout close_stdout longer closes stderr when addresses
80 are being sanitized, as the sanitizer outputs to
81 stderr afterwards.
83 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
84 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
86 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
87 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
88 time zone and its name.
90 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
91 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
93 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
94 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
96 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
97 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
99 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
101 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
102 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
104 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
105 Programs intended to be portable to C++
106 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
108 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
109 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
110 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
112 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
113 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
114 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
115 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
117 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
119 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
120 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
121 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
122 modules now depend on time_rz.
124 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
125 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
126 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
127 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
129 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
130 detection routine, then the requirements are
131 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
132 than $LIB_ACL.
134 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
136 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
137 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
138 This changes both the ABI and the API.
139 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
140 shrink the current object; callers must now use
141 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
142 large positive) size for that.
144 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
145 were removed from public structures, and the
146 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
147 and compareseq.
149 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
150 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
151 The fdsavedir function is removed.
153 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
155 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
156 function.
158 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
159 processing is resettable. If your code uses
160 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
161 only one pass over the argument array.
163 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
164 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
166 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
167 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
168 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
169 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
171 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
172 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
173 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
175 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
176 function. If you need this function, you now need
177 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
179 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
180 function. If you need this function, you now need
181 to request the 'fstatat' module.
183 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
184 function. If you need this function, you now need
185 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
187 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
188 function. If you need this function, you now need
189 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
191 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
192 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
194 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
195 function. If you need this function, you now need
196 to request the 'fchownat' module.
198 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
199 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
201 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
202 function. If you need this function, you now need
203 to request the 'fstat' module.
205 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
207 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
208 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
210 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
211 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
212 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
213 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
214 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
216 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
217 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
218 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
219 portable to GNU/Hurd.
221 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
222 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
223 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
224 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
225 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
227 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
228 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
229 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
230 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
231 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
233 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
234 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
236 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
237 is now set to "no", not to ":".
239 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
240 to <unistd.h>.
242 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
243 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
245 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
246 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
248 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
249 default; to retain robust handling of directories
250 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
251 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
253 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
254 generalized.
256 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
257 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
258 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
260 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
261 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
262 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
263 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
264 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
265 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
266 rmdir header dosname.h.
267 savewd
268 stat
269 unlink
271 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
272 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
273 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
274 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
275 (which should have been internal to the module
276 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
277 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
278 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
279 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
280 substituted for.
282 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
283 module no longer guarantees that the following are
284 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
285 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
287 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
288 function. If you need this function, you now need
289 to request the 'iswblank' module.
291 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
293 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
294 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
296 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
297 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
299 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
300 parse-datetime module for the replacement
301 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
302 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
303 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
304 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
306 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
307 function. If you need this function, you now need
308 to request the 'waitpid' module.
310 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
311 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
312 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
313 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
315 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
316 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
317 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
318 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
320 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
321 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
322 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
323 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
324 may change again in the future once glibc provides
325 this feature as well.
327 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
329 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
330 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
331 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
333 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
334 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
336 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
337 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
339 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
340 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
342 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
343 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
344 renamed to amemxfrm.
346 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
347 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
349 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
350 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
351 --disable-cxx.
353 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
354 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
355 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
356 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
358 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
359 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
360 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
361 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
362 automatically.
364 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
365 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
366 get the functions that were previously provided.
368 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
369 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
371 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
372 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
373 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
374 instead.
376 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
377 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
378 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
379 instead.
381 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
382 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
383 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
384 instead.
386 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
387 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
388 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
390 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
391 must contain an explicit dependency on
392 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
394 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
395 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
396 effect except on very old platforms.
398 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
399 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
401 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
403 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
404 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
406 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
407 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
409 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
410 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
412 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
413 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
414 to <stdlib.h>.
416 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
417 rather than only defined to 1.
419 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
420 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
421 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
422 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
423 include <unistd.h>. For all other
424 functions provided by this module,
425 continue to include "openat.h".
427 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
428 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
429 iconv_t arguments.
431 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
432 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
434 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
435 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
436 "long options" and "options with optional
437 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
439 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
440 <stdio.h>.
442 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
443 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
444 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
445 The calling convention of the functions
446 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
448 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
449 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
450 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
451 The calling convention of the functions
452 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
454 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
455 The maint.mk file was copied from
456 coreutils, and the old
457 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
458 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
459 this will add several new checks. If some
460 new check is annoying, add the name of the
461 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
462 cfg.mk.
464 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
466 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
468 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
470 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
472 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
473 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
474 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
475 for it, like this:
476 errno = 0;
477 val = c_strtod (...);
478 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
479 xalloc_die ();
481 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
482 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
484 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
485 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
487 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
488 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
489 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
490 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
491 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
492 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
494 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
495 was removed.
497 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
498 <sys/stat.h>.
500 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
501 to <netdb.h>.
503 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
504 <math.h>.
505 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
506 <math.h>.
507 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
508 <math.h>.
510 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
511 <sys/stat.h>.
513 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
514 <dirent.h>.
516 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
517 to <unistd.h>.
519 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
520 to <unistd.h>.
522 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
523 $(LIBSOCKET).
525 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
526 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
527 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
528 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
529 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
531 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
532 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
533 socket descriptors are now compatible with
534 file descriptors. In general, this change
535 will simply improve your code's portability
536 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
537 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
538 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
539 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
540 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
541 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
543 This change does not remove the need to call
544 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
545 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
546 when you include the sys_socket module; while
547 the functionality will be restored soon, for
548 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
549 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
551 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
553 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
554 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
555 equivalent function, use function
556 xconcatenated_filename from module
557 'xconcat-filename'.
559 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
560 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
561 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
562 You may need to create a symbolic link for
563 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
564 installed in $prefix/lib.
566 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
567 to <string.h>.
569 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
570 to "glthread/lock.h".
571 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
572 to "glthread/tls.h".
574 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
575 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
576 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
578 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
579 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
580 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
581 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
583 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
584 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
585 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
586 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
588 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
589 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
590 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
591 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
592 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
594 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
596 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
597 to <arpa/inet.h>.
599 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
600 to <arpa/inet.h>.
602 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
603 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
605 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
606 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
607 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
608 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
610 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
611 implementations; clients that use controlled
612 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
613 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
614 module instead for smaller code size.
616 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
617 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
618 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
619 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
620 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
622 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
623 implementations; clients that use controlled
624 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
625 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
626 module instead for smaller code size.
628 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
629 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
630 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
631 module if you need it.
633 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
634 to <unistd.h>.
636 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
637 <strings.h>.
639 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
640 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
641 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
642 module description for the applicable license.
644 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
645 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
646 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
648 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
649 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
650 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
651 areadlink_with_size.
653 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
654 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
655 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
657 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
659 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
660 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
662 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
663 error to standard error; that is now the
664 caller's responsibility. It returns an
665 error code of type enum strtol_error
666 instead of the integer option value, and stores
667 the option value via a new int * argument.
668 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
669 are now an option name and option argument
670 instead of an option argument and a type string,
671 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
673 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
675 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
676 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
678 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
679 <wchar.h>.
681 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
682 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)

693 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
694 macros were renamed:
695 allocsa -> malloca
696 freesa -> freea
698 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
699 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
700 that has a different signature.
702 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
703 #include "sigprocmask.h"
704 with
705 #include <signal.h>
707 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
708 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
709 'long double' as a type exists.

737 with
738 #include <stdio.h>
740 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to

757 iconv_string -> str_iconv
758 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
759 arguments)
761 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
762 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
763 carray-list You can pass NULL.

794 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
795 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
796 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
