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 2019-01-21 diacrit This module is deprecated. Please use the module
52 uninorm/canonical-decomposition instead.
54 2018-10-23 backupfile backup_file_rename and find_backup_file_name
55 now take an additional directory file descriptor
56 argument. Pass AT_FDCWD to get the old behavior.
58 2018-08-18 getpass The include file is changed from "getpass.h" to
59 getpass-gnu <unistd.h>.
61 2018-07-17 hard-locale m4/hard-locale.m4 and gl_HARD_LOCALE are removed.
63 2018-07-05 renameat2 This module is renamed to 'renameatu' and all
64 its include files and functions are renamed
65 accordingly.
67 2017-12-30 chdir-safer This module is removed. It was deprecated
68 on 2006-07-17.
70 2017-11-24 posixtm Previously, callers had to specify either
71 PDS_LEADING_YEAR or PDS_TRAILING_YEAR (but
72 not both). Now, callers should specify
73 only PDS_TRAILING_YEAR; leading years are
74 requested by not specifying PDS_TRAILING_YEAR.
76 2017-08-14 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to a nonzero
77 value instead of to 0, as the 'open' and
78 'openat' modules now emulate O_CLOEXEC.
80 2017-07-23 strftime This module is renamed to 'nstrftime'.
82 2017-05-19 closeout close_stdout longer closes stderr when addresses
83 are being sanitized, as the sanitizer outputs to
84 stderr afterwards.
86 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
87 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
89 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
90 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
91 time zone and its name.
93 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
94 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
96 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
97 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
99 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
100 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
102 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
104 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
105 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
107 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
108 Programs intended to be portable to C++
109 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
111 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
112 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
113 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
115 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
116 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
117 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
118 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
120 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
122 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
123 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
124 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
125 modules now depend on time_rz.
127 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
128 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
129 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
130 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
132 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
133 detection routine, then the requirements are
134 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
135 than $LIB_ACL.
137 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
139 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
140 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
141 This changes both the ABI and the API.
142 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
143 shrink the current object; callers must now use
144 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
145 large positive) size for that.
147 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
148 were removed from public structures, and the
149 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
150 and compareseq.
152 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
153 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
154 The fdsavedir function is removed.
156 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
158 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
159 function.
161 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
162 processing is resettable. If your code uses
163 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
164 only one pass over the argument array.
166 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
167 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
169 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
170 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
171 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
172 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
174 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
175 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
176 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
178 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
179 function. If you need this function, you now need
180 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
182 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
183 function. If you need this function, you now need
184 to request the 'fstatat' module.
186 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
187 function. If you need this function, you now need
188 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
190 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
191 function. If you need this function, you now need
192 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
194 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
195 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
197 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
198 function. If you need this function, you now need
199 to request the 'fchownat' module.
201 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
202 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
204 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
205 function. If you need this function, you now need
206 to request the 'fstat' module.
208 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
210 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
211 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
213 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
214 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
215 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
216 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
217 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
219 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
220 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
221 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
222 portable to GNU/Hurd.
224 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
225 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
226 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
227 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
228 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
230 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
231 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
232 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
233 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
234 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
236 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
237 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
239 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
240 is now set to "no", not to ":".
242 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
243 to <unistd.h>.
245 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
246 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
248 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
249 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
251 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
252 default; to retain robust handling of directories
253 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
254 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
256 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
257 generalized.
259 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
260 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
261 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
263 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
264 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
265 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
266 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
267 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
268 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
269 rmdir header dosname.h.
270 savewd
271 stat
272 unlink
274 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
275 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
276 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
277 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
278 (which should have been internal to the module
279 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
280 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
281 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
282 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
283 substituted for.
285 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
286 module no longer guarantees that the following are
287 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
288 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
290 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
291 function. If you need this function, you now need
292 to request the 'iswblank' module.
294 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
296 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
297 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
299 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
300 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
302 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
303 parse-datetime module for the replacement
304 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
305 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
306 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
307 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
309 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
310 function. If you need this function, you now need
311 to request the 'waitpid' module.
313 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
314 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
315 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
316 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
318 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
319 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
320 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
321 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
323 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
324 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
325 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
326 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
327 may change again in the future once glibc provides
328 this feature as well.
330 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
332 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
333 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
334 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
336 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
337 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
339 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
340 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
342 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
343 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
345 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
346 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
347 renamed to amemxfrm.
349 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
350 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
352 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
353 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
354 --disable-cxx.
356 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
357 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
358 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
359 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
361 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
362 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
363 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
364 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
365 automatically.
367 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
368 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
369 get the functions that were previously provided.
371 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
372 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
374 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
375 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
376 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
377 instead.
379 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
380 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
381 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
382 instead.
384 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
385 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
386 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
387 instead.
389 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
390 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
391 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
393 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
394 must contain an explicit dependency on
395 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
397 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
398 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
399 effect except on very old platforms.
401 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
402 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
404 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
406 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
407 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
409 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
410 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
412 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
413 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
415 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
416 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
417 to <stdlib.h>.
419 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
420 rather than only defined to 1.
422 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
423 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
424 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
425 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
426 include <unistd.h>. For all other
427 functions provided by this module,
428 continue to include "openat.h".
430 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
431 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
432 iconv_t arguments.
434 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
435 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
437 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
438 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
439 "long options" and "options with optional
440 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
442 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
443 <stdio.h>.
445 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
446 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
447 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
448 The calling convention of the functions
449 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
451 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
452 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
453 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
454 The calling convention of the functions
455 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
457 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
458 The maint.mk file was copied from
459 coreutils, and the old
460 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
461 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
462 this will add several new checks. If some
463 new check is annoying, add the name of the
464 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
465 cfg.mk.
467 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
469 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
471 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
473 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
475 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
476 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
477 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
478 for it, like this:
479 errno = 0;
480 val = c_strtod (...);
481 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
482 xalloc_die ();
484 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
485 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
487 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
488 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
490 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
491 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
492 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
493 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
494 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
495 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
497 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
498 was removed.
500 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
501 <sys/stat.h>.
503 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
504 to <netdb.h>.
506 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
507 <math.h>.
508 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
509 <math.h>.
510 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
511 <math.h>.
513 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
514 <sys/stat.h>.
516 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
517 <dirent.h>.
519 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
520 to <unistd.h>.
522 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
523 to <unistd.h>.
525 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
526 $(LIBSOCKET).
528 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
529 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
530 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
531 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
532 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
534 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
535 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
536 socket descriptors are now compatible with
537 file descriptors. In general, this change
538 will simply improve your code's portability
539 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
540 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
541 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
542 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
543 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
544 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
546 This change does not remove the need to call
547 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
548 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
549 when you include the sys_socket module; while
550 the functionality will be restored soon, for
551 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
552 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
554 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
556 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
557 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
558 equivalent function, use function
559 xconcatenated_filename from module
560 'xconcat-filename'.
562 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
563 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
564 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
565 You may need to create a symbolic link for
566 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
567 installed in $prefix/lib.
569 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
570 to <string.h>.
572 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
573 to "glthread/lock.h".
574 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
575 to "glthread/tls.h".
577 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
578 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
579 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
581 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
582 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
583 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
584 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
586 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
587 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
588 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
589 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
591 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
592 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
593 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
594 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
595 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
597 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
599 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
600 to <arpa/inet.h>.
602 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
603 to <arpa/inet.h>.
605 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
606 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
608 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
609 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
610 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
611 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
613 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
614 implementations; clients that use controlled
615 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
616 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
617 module instead for smaller code size.
619 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
620 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
621 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
622 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
623 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
625 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
626 implementations; clients that use controlled
627 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
628 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
629 module instead for smaller code size.
631 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
632 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
633 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
634 module if you need it.
636 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
637 to <unistd.h>.
639 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
640 <strings.h>.
642 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
643 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
644 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
645 module description for the applicable license.
647 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
648 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
649 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
651 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
652 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
653 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
654 areadlink_with_size.
656 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
657 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
658 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
660 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
662 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
663 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
665 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
666 error to standard error; that is now the
667 caller's responsibility. It returns an
668 error code of type enum strtol_error
669 instead of the integer option value, and stores
670 the option value via a new int * argument.
671 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
672 are now an option name and option argument
673 instead of an option argument and a type string,
674 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
676 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
678 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
679 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
681 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
682 <wchar.h>.
684 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
685 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
687 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
688 <unistd.h>.
690 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
691 was renamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
692 renamed:
693 xallocsa -> xmalloca
695 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
696 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
697 macros were renamed:
698 allocsa -> malloca
699 freesa -> freea
701 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
702 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
703 that has a different signature.
705 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
706 #include "sigprocmask.h"
707 with
708 #include <signal.h>
710 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
711 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
712 'long double' as a type exists.

739 #include "vasprintf.h"
740 with
741 #include <stdio.h>
743 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to

760 iconv_string -> str_iconv
761 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
762 arguments)
764 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
765 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
766 carray-list You can pass NULL.

797 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
798 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
799 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
