1 Important general notes
2 -----------------------
4 Date Modules Changes
6 2019-12-11 Support for These modules are now supported in C++ mode as well.
7 ISO C or POSIX This means, while the autoconfiguration uses the C
8 functions compiler, the resulting header files and function
9 substitutes can be used with a matching C++ compiler
10 as well.
12 2019-02-14 gnulib-tool If you use multiple --local-dir options at once:
13 The first one now has the highest priority, not the
14 last one.
16 2019-01-04 (all) The meaning of the 'Link' section in the module
17 descriptions has been clarified: It overrides the
18 combined 'Link' sections from the dependencies.
20 2018-10-22 (all) Automake >= 1.11 and Autoconf >= 2.63 are required.
22 2016-09-05 progname There is now an alternate module 'getprogname'. It
23 defines a getprogname() function; use it to obtain
24 the name of the current program.
25 Recommended use:
26 - In a program's main() function, and associated
27 usage() and help() functions, use 'progname'.
28 - In library code, or more generally any code that
29 is not near the main() function, use
30 'getprogname'.
32 2013-04-24 gettext If your project uses 'gettextize --intl' it is now
33 your responsibility to put -I$(top_builddir)/intl
34 into the Makefile.am for gnulib.
36 2012-06-27 elisp-comp The module 'elisp-comp' is removed; the script is
37 not independently useful outside of automake.
39 2012-06-21 gnulib-tool The option --with-tests is now implied by the
40 options --create-testdir, --test,
41 --create-megatestdir, --megatest.
43 2012-01-07 quotearg In the C locale, the function will no longer use
44 the grave accent character to begin a quoted
45 string (`like this'). It will use apostrophes
46 'like these' or, in Unicode locales, single quotes
47 ‘like these’. You may want to adjust any error
48 messages that hard code the quoting characters.
50 2010-09-04 gnulib-tool The option '--import' is no longer cumulative; it
51 now expects the complete list of modules and other
52 options on the command line. If you want to
53 augment (not set) the list of modules, use the
54 new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'.
56 User visible incompatible changes
57 ---------------------------------
59 Date Modules Changes
61 2020-02-22 fchownat This module no longer defines the functions
62 'chownat' and 'lchownat'. Program that need these
63 functions should add the module 'chownat' to the
64 list of imported modules.
66 2020-02-22 fchmodat This module no longer defines the functions
67 'chmodat' and 'lchmodat'. Program that need these
68 functions should add the module 'chmodat' to the
69 list of imported modules.
71 2020-02-07 fchmodat When applied to non-symlinks, these now act like
72 lchmod chmod (the BSD behavior, which POSIX requires for
73 fchmodat + AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW), instead of failing
74 (the GNU/Linux behavior through glibc 2.31).
75 Future versions of GNU/Linux are planned to act as
76 per POSIX and BSD.
78 2020-01-15 gc-pbkdf2-sha1 This module is deprecated. Use gc-pbkdf2 instead.
80 2019-12-12 dfa Its API now uses ptrdiff_t instead of size_t.
82 2019-12-11 dfa To call dfamust, one must now call dfaparse
83 without yet calling dfacomp. This fixes a bug
84 introduced on 2018-10-22 that broke dfamust.
86 2019-12-07 xstrtol This module no longer defines the function
87 xstrtoll 'xstrtol_fatal'. Program that need this function
88 xstrtoimax should add the module 'xstrtol-error' to the list
89 xstrtoumax of imported modules.
91 2019-05-90 verify verify_true (deprecated 2011-06-15) is removed.
93 2019-03-16 fatal-signal The function that you pass to at_fatal_signal now
94 takes the signal as argument.
96 2019-02-02 c-strtod This and related modules no longer define
97 the HAVE_C99_STRTOLD macro. Programs requiring
98 standard strtold should use the strtold module.
100 2019-01-21 diacrit This module is deprecated. Please use the module
101 uninorm/canonical-decomposition instead.
103 2018-10-23 backupfile backup_file_rename and find_backup_file_name
104 now take an additional directory file descriptor
105 argument. Pass AT_FDCWD to get the old behavior.
107 2018-08-18 getpass The include file is changed from "getpass.h" to
108 getpass-gnu <unistd.h>.
110 2018-07-17 hard-locale m4/hard-locale.m4 and gl_HARD_LOCALE are removed.
112 2018-07-05 renameat2 This module is renamed to 'renameatu' and all
113 its include files and functions are renamed
114 accordingly.
116 2017-12-30 chdir-safer This module is removed. It was deprecated
117 on 2006-07-17.
119 2017-11-24 posixtm Previously, callers had to specify either
120 PDS_LEADING_YEAR or PDS_TRAILING_YEAR (but
121 not both). Now, callers should specify
122 only PDS_TRAILING_YEAR; leading years are
123 requested by not specifying PDS_TRAILING_YEAR.
125 2017-08-14 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to a nonzero
126 value instead of to 0, as the 'open' and
127 'openat' modules now emulate O_CLOEXEC.
129 2017-07-23 strftime This module is renamed to 'nstrftime'.
131 2017-05-19 closeout close_stdout longer closes stderr when addresses
132 are being sanitized, as the sanitizer outputs to
133 stderr afterwards.
135 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
136 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
138 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
139 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
140 time zone and its name.
142 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
143 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
145 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
146 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
148 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
149 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
151 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
153 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
154 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
156 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
157 Programs intended to be portable to C++
158 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
160 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
161 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
162 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
164 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
165 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
166 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
167 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
169 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
171 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
172 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
173 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
174 modules now depend on time_rz.
176 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
177 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
178 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
179 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
181 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
182 detection routine, then the requirements are
183 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
184 than $LIB_ACL.
186 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
188 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
189 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
190 This changes both the ABI and the API.
191 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
192 shrink the current object; callers must now use
193 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
194 large positive) size for that.
196 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
197 were removed from public structures, and the
198 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
199 and compareseq.
201 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
202 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
203 The fdsavedir function is removed.
205 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
207 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
208 function.
210 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
211 processing is resettable. If your code uses
212 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
213 only one pass over the argument array.
215 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
216 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
218 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
219 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
220 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
221 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
223 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
224 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
225 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
227 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
228 function. If you need this function, you now need
229 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
231 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
232 function. If you need this function, you now need
233 to request the 'fstatat' module.
235 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
236 function. If you need this function, you now need
237 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
239 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
240 function. If you need this function, you now need
241 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
243 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
244 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
246 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
247 function. If you need this function, you now need
248 to request the 'fchownat' module.
250 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
251 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
253 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
254 function. If you need this function, you now need
255 to request the 'fstat' module.
257 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
259 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
260 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
262 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
263 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
264 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
265 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
266 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
268 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
269 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
270 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
271 portable to GNU/Hurd.
273 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
274 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
275 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
276 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
277 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
279 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
280 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
281 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
282 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
283 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
285 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
286 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
288 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
289 is now set to "no", not to ":".
291 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
292 to <unistd.h>.
294 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
295 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
297 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
298 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
300 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
301 default; to retain robust handling of directories
302 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
303 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
305 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
306 generalized.
308 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
309 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
310 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
312 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
313 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
314 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
315 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
316 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
317 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
318 rmdir header dosname.h.
319 savewd
320 stat
321 unlink
323 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
324 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
325 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
326 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
327 (which should have been internal to the module
328 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
329 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
330 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
331 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
332 substituted for.
334 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
335 module no longer guarantees that the following are
336 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
337 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
339 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
340 function. If you need this function, you now need
341 to request the 'iswblank' module.
343 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
345 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
346 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
348 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
349 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
351 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
352 parse-datetime module for the replacement
353 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
354 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
355 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
356 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
358 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
359 function. If you need this function, you now need
360 to request the 'waitpid' module.
362 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
363 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
364 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
365 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
367 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
368 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
369 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
370 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
372 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
373 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
374 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
375 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
376 may change again in the future once glibc provides
377 this feature as well.
379 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
381 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
382 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
383 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
385 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
386 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
388 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
389 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
391 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
392 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
394 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
395 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
396 renamed to amemxfrm.
398 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
399 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
401 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
402 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
403 --disable-cxx.
405 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
406 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
407 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
408 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
410 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
411 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
412 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
413 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
414 automatically.
416 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
417 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
418 get the functions that were previously provided.
420 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
421 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
423 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
424 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
425 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
426 instead.
428 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
429 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
430 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
431 instead.
433 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
434 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
435 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
436 instead.
438 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
439 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
440 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
442 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
443 must contain an explicit dependency on
444 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
446 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
447 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
448 effect except on very old platforms.
450 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
451 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
453 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
455 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
456 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
458 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
459 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
461 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
462 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
464 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
465 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
466 to <stdlib.h>.
468 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
469 rather than only defined to 1.
471 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
472 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
473 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
474 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
475 include <unistd.h>. For all other
476 functions provided by this module,
477 continue to include "openat.h".
479 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
480 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
481 iconv_t arguments.
483 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
484 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
486 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
487 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
488 "long options" and "options with optional
489 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
491 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
492 <stdio.h>.
494 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
495 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
496 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
497 The calling convention of the functions
498 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
500 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
501 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
502 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
503 The calling convention of the functions
504 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
506 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
507 The maint.mk file was copied from
508 coreutils, and the old
509 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
510 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
511 this will add several new checks. If some
512 new check is annoying, add the name of the
513 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
514 cfg.mk.
516 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
518 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
520 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
522 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
524 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
525 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
526 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
527 for it, like this:
528 errno = 0;
529 val = c_strtod (...);
530 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
531 xalloc_die ();
533 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
534 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
536 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
537 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
539 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
540 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
541 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
542 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
543 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
544 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
546 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
547 was removed.
549 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
550 <sys/stat.h>.
552 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
553 to <netdb.h>.
555 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
556 <math.h>.
557 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
558 <math.h>.
559 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
560 <math.h>.
562 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
563 <sys/stat.h>.
565 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
566 <dirent.h>.
568 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
569 to <unistd.h>.
571 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
572 to <unistd.h>.
574 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
575 $(LIBSOCKET).
577 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
578 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
579 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
580 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
581 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
583 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
584 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
585 socket descriptors are now compatible with
586 file descriptors. In general, this change
587 will simply improve your code's portability
588 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
589 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
590 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
591 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
592 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
593 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
595 This change does not remove the need to call
596 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
597 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
598 when you include the sys_socket module; while
599 the functionality will be restored soon, for
600 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
601 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
603 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
605 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
606 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
607 equivalent function, use function
608 xconcatenated_filename from module
609 'xconcat-filename'.
611 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
612 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
613 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
614 You may need to create a symbolic link for
615 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
616 installed in $prefix/lib.
618 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
619 to <string.h>.
621 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
622 to "glthread/lock.h".
623 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
624 to "glthread/tls.h".
626 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
627 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
628 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
630 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
631 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
632 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
633 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
635 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
636 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
637 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
638 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
640 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
641 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
642 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
643 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
644 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
646 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
648 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
649 to <arpa/inet.h>.
651 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
652 to <arpa/inet.h>.
654 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
655 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
657 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
658 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
659 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
660 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
662 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
663 implementations; clients that use controlled
664 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
665 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
666 module instead for smaller code size.
668 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
669 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
670 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
671 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
672 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
674 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
675 implementations; clients that use controlled
676 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
677 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
678 module instead for smaller code size.
680 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
681 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
682 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
683 module if you need it.
685 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
686 to <unistd.h>.
688 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
689 <strings.h>.
691 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
692 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
693 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
694 module description for the applicable license.
696 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
697 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
698 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
700 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
701 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
702 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
703 areadlink_with_size.
705 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
706 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
707 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
709 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
711 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
712 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
714 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
715 error to standard error; that is now the
716 caller's responsibility. It returns an
717 error code of type enum strtol_error
718 instead of the integer option value, and stores
719 the option value via a new int * argument.
720 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
721 are now an option name and option argument
722 instead of an option argument and a type string,
723 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
725 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
727 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
728 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
730 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
731 <wchar.h>.
733 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
734 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
736 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
737 <unistd.h>.
739 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
740 was renamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
741 renamed:
742 xallocsa -> xmalloca
744 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
745 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
746 macros were renamed:
747 allocsa -> malloca
748 freesa -> freea
750 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
751 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
752 that has a different signature.
754 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
755 #include "sigprocmask.h"
756 with
757 #include <signal.h>
759 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
760 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
761 'long double' as a type exists.
763 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
764 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

784 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
785 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
787 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
788 #include "vasprintf.h"
789 with
790 #include <stdio.h>
792 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to

804 to "unistr.h".
805 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
806 to "unistr.h".
808 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
809 iconv_string -> str_iconv
810 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
811 arguments)
813 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
814 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
815 carray-list You can pass NULL.
816 linked-list
817 linkedhash-list

840 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
841 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
843 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
844 using the "des" module directly.
846 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
847 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
848 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
850 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
851 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
852 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
853 #include "mkstemp.h"
854 with
855 #include <stdlib.h>
