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 2020-01-15 gc-pbkdf2-sha1 This module is deprecated. Use gc-pbkdf2 instead.
63 2019-12-12 dfa Its API now uses ptrdiff_t instead of size_t.
65 2019-12-11 dfa To call dfamust, one must now call dfaparse
66 without yet calling dfacomp. This fixes a bug
67 introduced on 2018-10-22 that broke dfamust.
69 2019-12-07 xstrtol This module no longer defines the function
70 xstrtoll 'xstrtol_fatal'. Program that need this function
71 xstrtoimax should add the module 'xstrtol-error' to the list
72 xstrtoumax of imported modules.
74 2019-05-90 verify verify_true (deprecated 2011-06-15) is removed.
76 2019-03-16 fatal-signal The function that you pass to at_fatal_signal now
77 takes the signal as argument.
79 2019-02-02 c-strtod This and related modules no longer define
80 the HAVE_C99_STRTOLD macro. Programs requiring
81 standard strtold should use the strtold module.
83 2019-01-21 diacrit This module is deprecated. Please use the module
84 uninorm/canonical-decomposition instead.
86 2018-10-23 backupfile backup_file_rename and find_backup_file_name
87 now take an additional directory file descriptor
88 argument. Pass AT_FDCWD to get the old behavior.
90 2018-08-18 getpass The include file is changed from "getpass.h" to
91 getpass-gnu <unistd.h>.
93 2018-07-17 hard-locale m4/hard-locale.m4 and gl_HARD_LOCALE are removed.
95 2018-07-05 renameat2 This module is renamed to 'renameatu' and all
96 its include files and functions are renamed
97 accordingly.
99 2017-12-30 chdir-safer This module is removed. It was deprecated
100 on 2006-07-17.
102 2017-11-24 posixtm Previously, callers had to specify either
103 PDS_LEADING_YEAR or PDS_TRAILING_YEAR (but
104 not both). Now, callers should specify
105 only PDS_TRAILING_YEAR; leading years are
106 requested by not specifying PDS_TRAILING_YEAR.
108 2017-08-14 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to a nonzero
109 value instead of to 0, as the 'open' and
110 'openat' modules now emulate O_CLOEXEC.
112 2017-07-23 strftime This module is renamed to 'nstrftime'.
114 2017-05-19 closeout close_stdout longer closes stderr when addresses
115 are being sanitized, as the sanitizer outputs to
116 stderr afterwards.
118 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
119 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
121 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
122 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
123 time zone and its name.
125 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
126 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
128 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
129 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
131 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
132 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
134 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
136 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
137 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
139 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
140 Programs intended to be portable to C++
141 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
143 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
144 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
145 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
147 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
148 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
149 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
150 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
152 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
154 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
155 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
156 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
157 modules now depend on time_rz.
159 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
160 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
161 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
162 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
164 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
165 detection routine, then the requirements are
166 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
167 than $LIB_ACL.
169 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
171 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
172 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
173 This changes both the ABI and the API.
174 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
175 shrink the current object; callers must now use
176 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
177 large positive) size for that.
179 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
180 were removed from public structures, and the
181 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
182 and compareseq.
184 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
185 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
186 The fdsavedir function is removed.
188 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
190 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
191 function.
193 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
194 processing is resettable. If your code uses
195 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
196 only one pass over the argument array.
198 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
199 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
201 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
202 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
203 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
204 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
206 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
207 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
208 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
210 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
211 function. If you need this function, you now need
212 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
214 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
215 function. If you need this function, you now need
216 to request the 'fstatat' module.
218 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
219 function. If you need this function, you now need
220 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
222 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
223 function. If you need this function, you now need
224 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
226 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
227 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
229 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
230 function. If you need this function, you now need
231 to request the 'fchownat' module.
233 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
234 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
236 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
237 function. If you need this function, you now need
238 to request the 'fstat' module.
240 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
242 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
243 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
245 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
246 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
247 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
248 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
249 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
251 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
252 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
253 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
254 portable to GNU/Hurd.
256 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
257 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
258 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
259 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
260 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
262 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
263 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
264 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
265 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
266 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
268 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
269 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
271 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
272 is now set to "no", not to ":".
274 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
275 to <unistd.h>.
277 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
278 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
280 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
281 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
283 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
284 default; to retain robust handling of directories
285 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
286 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
288 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
289 generalized.
291 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
292 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
293 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
295 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
296 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
297 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
298 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
299 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
300 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
301 rmdir header dosname.h.
302 savewd
303 stat
304 unlink
306 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
307 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
308 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
309 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
310 (which should have been internal to the module
311 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
312 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
313 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
314 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
315 substituted for.
317 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
318 module no longer guarantees that the following are
319 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
320 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
322 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
323 function. If you need this function, you now need
324 to request the 'iswblank' module.
326 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
328 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
329 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
331 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
332 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
334 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
335 parse-datetime module for the replacement
336 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
337 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
338 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
339 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
341 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
342 function. If you need this function, you now need
343 to request the 'waitpid' module.
345 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
346 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
347 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
348 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
350 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
351 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
352 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
353 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
355 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
356 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
357 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
358 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
359 may change again in the future once glibc provides
360 this feature as well.
362 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
364 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
365 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
366 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
368 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
369 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
371 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
372 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
374 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
375 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
377 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
378 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
379 renamed to amemxfrm.
381 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
382 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
384 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
385 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
386 --disable-cxx.
388 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
389 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
390 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
391 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
393 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
394 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
395 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
396 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
397 automatically.
399 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
400 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
401 get the functions that were previously provided.
403 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
404 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
406 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
407 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
408 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
409 instead.
411 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
412 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
413 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
414 instead.
416 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
417 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
418 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
419 instead.
421 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
422 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
423 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
425 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
426 must contain an explicit dependency on
427 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
429 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
430 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
431 effect except on very old platforms.
433 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
434 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
436 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
438 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
439 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
441 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
442 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
444 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
445 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
447 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
448 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
449 to <stdlib.h>.
451 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
452 rather than only defined to 1.
454 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
455 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
456 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
457 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
458 include <unistd.h>. For all other
459 functions provided by this module,
460 continue to include "openat.h".
462 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
463 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
464 iconv_t arguments.
466 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
467 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
469 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
470 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
471 "long options" and "options with optional
472 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
474 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
475 <stdio.h>.
477 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
478 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
479 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
480 The calling convention of the functions
481 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
483 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
484 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
485 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
486 The calling convention of the functions
487 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
489 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
490 The maint.mk file was copied from
491 coreutils, and the old
492 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
493 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
494 this will add several new checks. If some
495 new check is annoying, add the name of the
496 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
497 cfg.mk.
499 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
501 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
503 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
505 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
507 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
508 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
509 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
510 for it, like this:
511 errno = 0;
512 val = c_strtod (...);
513 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
514 xalloc_die ();
516 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
517 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
519 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
520 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
522 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
523 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
524 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
525 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
526 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
527 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
529 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
530 was removed.
532 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
533 <sys/stat.h>.
535 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
536 to <netdb.h>.
538 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
539 <math.h>.
540 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
541 <math.h>.
542 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
543 <math.h>.
545 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
546 <sys/stat.h>.
548 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
549 <dirent.h>.
551 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
552 to <unistd.h>.
554 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
555 to <unistd.h>.
557 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
558 $(LIBSOCKET).
560 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
561 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
562 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
563 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
564 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
566 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
567 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
568 socket descriptors are now compatible with
569 file descriptors. In general, this change
570 will simply improve your code's portability
571 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
572 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
573 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
574 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
575 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
576 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
578 This change does not remove the need to call
579 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
580 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
581 when you include the sys_socket module; while
582 the functionality will be restored soon, for
583 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
584 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
586 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
588 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
589 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
590 equivalent function, use function
591 xconcatenated_filename from module
592 'xconcat-filename'.
594 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
595 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
596 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
597 You may need to create a symbolic link for
598 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
599 installed in $prefix/lib.
601 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
602 to <string.h>.
604 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
605 to "glthread/lock.h".
606 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
607 to "glthread/tls.h".
609 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
610 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
611 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
613 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
614 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
615 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
616 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
618 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
619 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
620 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
621 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
623 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
624 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
625 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
626 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
627 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
629 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
631 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
632 to <arpa/inet.h>.
634 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
635 to <arpa/inet.h>.
637 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
638 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
640 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
641 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
642 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
643 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
645 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
646 implementations; clients that use controlled
647 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
648 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
649 module instead for smaller code size.
651 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
652 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
653 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
654 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
655 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
657 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
658 implementations; clients that use controlled
659 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
660 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
661 module instead for smaller code size.
663 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
664 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
665 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
666 module if you need it.
668 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
669 to <unistd.h>.
671 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
672 <strings.h>.
674 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
675 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
676 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
677 module description for the applicable license.
679 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
680 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
681 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
683 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
684 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
685 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
686 areadlink_with_size.
688 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
689 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
690 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
692 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
694 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
695 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
697 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
698 error to standard error; that is now the
699 caller's responsibility. It returns an
700 error code of type enum strtol_error
701 instead of the integer option value, and stores
702 the option value via a new int * argument.
703 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
704 are now an option name and option argument
705 instead of an option argument and a type string,
706 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
708 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
710 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
711 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
713 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
714 <wchar.h>.
716 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
717 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
719 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
720 <unistd.h>.
722 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
723 was renamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
724 renamed:
725 xallocsa -> xmalloca
727 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
728 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
729 macros were renamed:
730 allocsa -> malloca
731 freesa -> freea
733 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
734 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
735 that has a different signature.
737 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
738 #include "sigprocmask.h"
739 with
740 #include <signal.h>
742 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
743 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
744 'long double' as a type exists.

770 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
771 #include "vasprintf.h"
772 with
773 #include <stdio.h>
775 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to

792 iconv_string -> str_iconv
793 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
794 arguments)
796 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
797 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
798 carray-list You can pass NULL.

829 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
830 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
831 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
833 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
834 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
835 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
836 #include "mkstemp.h"
