1 Important general notes
2 -----------------------
4 Date Modules Changes
6 2020-08-16 (all) Automake >= 1.11 and Autoconf >= 2.64 are required.
8 2019-12-11 Support for These modules are now supported in C++ mode as well.
9 ISO C or POSIX This means, while the autoconfiguration uses the C
10 functions compiler, the resulting header files and function
11 substitutes can be used with a matching C++ compiler
12 as well.
14 2019-02-14 gnulib-tool If you use multiple --local-dir options at once:
15 The first one now has the highest priority, not the
16 last one.
18 2019-01-04 (all) The meaning of the 'Link' section in the module
19 descriptions has been clarified: It overrides the
20 combined 'Link' sections from the dependencies.
22 2018-10-22 (all) Automake >= 1.11 and Autoconf >= 2.63 are required.
24 2016-09-05 progname There is now an alternate module 'getprogname'. It
25 defines a getprogname() function; use it to obtain
26 the name of the current program.
27 Recommended use:
28 - In a program's main() function, and associated
29 usage() and help() functions, use 'progname'.
30 - In library code, or more generally any code that
31 is not near the main() function, use
32 'getprogname'.
34 2013-04-24 gettext If your project uses 'gettextize --intl' it is now
35 your responsibility to put -I$(top_builddir)/intl
36 into the Makefile.am for gnulib.
38 2012-06-27 elisp-comp The module 'elisp-comp' is removed; the script is
39 not independently useful outside of automake.
41 2012-06-21 gnulib-tool The option --with-tests is now implied by the
42 options --create-testdir, --test,
43 --create-megatestdir, --megatest.
45 2012-01-07 quotearg In the C locale, the function will no longer use
46 the grave accent character to begin a quoted
47 string (`like this'). It will use apostrophes
48 'like these' or, in Unicode locales, single quotes
49 ‘like these’. You may want to adjust any error
50 messages that hard code the quoting characters.
52 2010-09-04 gnulib-tool The option '--import' is no longer cumulative; it
53 now expects the complete list of modules and other
54 options on the command line. If you want to
55 augment (not set) the list of modules, use the
56 new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'.
58 User visible incompatible changes
59 ---------------------------------
61 Date Modules Changes
63 2020-10-16 hash This module deprecates the 'hash_delete' function
64 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
65 named 'hash_remove' equivalent.
67 2020-08-24 diffseq If you do not define NOTE_ORDERED to true,
68 the NOTE_DELETE and NOTE_INSERT actions might
69 not be done in order, to help cut down worst-case
70 recursion stack space from O(N) to O(log N).
72 2020-08-01 libtextstyle-optional You now need to invoke
73 gl_LIBTEXTSTYLE_OPTIONAL explicitly, because
74 this macro now takes an optional
75 MINIMUM-VERSION argument.
77 2020-08-01 libtextstyle You now need to invoke gl_LIBTEXTSTYLE explicitly,
78 because this macro now takes an optional
79 MINIMUM-VERSION argument.
81 2020-06-27 clean-temp The functions open_temp, fopen_temp now take a
82 'bool delete_on_close' argument. If in doubt, pass
83 false.
85 2020-06-27 tempname The link requirements of these modules are changed
86 mkdtemp from empty to $(LIB_GETRANDOM).
87 mkstemp
88 mkstemps
89 mkostemp
90 mkostemps
91 tmpfile
92 stdlib-safer
93 tmpfile-safer
94 clean-temp
95 javacomp $(LIB_GETRANDOM) was added to the link requirements
96 of this module.
98 2020-05-27 read-file The functions provided by this module now take an
99 'int flags' argument to modify the file reading
100 behavior. The read_binary_file function has been
101 removed as it is no longer necessary.
103 2020-04-27 getdate This deprecated module is removed. Use the module
104 'parse-datetime' instead. Instead of
105 #include "getdate.h"
106 write
107 #include "parse-datetime.h"
108 The function get_date is renamed to parse_datetime.
110 2020-04-27 realloc This deprecated module is removed. Use the module
111 'realloc-gnu' instead.
113 2020-04-27 calloc This deprecated module is removed. Use the module
114 'calloc-gnu' instead.
116 2020-04-27 malloc This deprecated module is removed. Use the module
117 'malloc-gnu' instead.
119 2020-04-27 fnmatch-posix This deprecated module is removed. Use the module
120 'fnmatch' instead.
122 2020-04-27 pipe This deprecated module is removed. Use the module
123 'spawn-pipe' instead. Instead of
124 #include "pipe.h"
125 write
126 #include "spawn-pipe.h"
128 2020-04-27 getopt This deprecated module is removed. Please choose
129 among getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu
130 provides "long options" and "options with optional
131 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
133 2020-04-27 rename-dest-slash This deprecated module is removed. Use the
134 module 'rename' instead.
136 2020-04-27 unictype/bidicategory-* These deprecated modules are removed. Use
137 the modules unictype/bidiclass-* instead.
139 2020-03-28 dosname On native Windows, OS/2, DOS,
140 IS_RELATIVE_FILE_NAME("c:") now returns false.
142 2020-03-28 filename The macro IS_ABSOLUTE_PATH is deprecated. Use
143 IS_ABSOLUTE_FILE_NAME instead.
144 The macro IS_PATH_WITH_DIR is deprecated. Use
145 IS_FILE_NAME_WITH_DIR instead.
147 2020-02-22 fchownat This module no longer defines the functions
148 'chownat' and 'lchownat'. Program that need these
149 functions should add the module 'chownat' to the
150 list of imported modules.
152 2020-02-22 fchmodat This module no longer defines the functions
153 'chmodat' and 'lchmodat'. Program that need these
154 functions should add the module 'chmodat' to the
155 list of imported modules.
157 2020-02-07 fchmodat When applied to non-symlinks, these now act like
158 lchmod chmod (the BSD behavior, which POSIX requires for
159 fchmodat + AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW), instead of failing
160 (the GNU/Linux behavior through glibc 2.31).
161 Future versions of GNU/Linux are planned to act as
162 per POSIX and BSD.
164 2020-01-15 gc-pbkdf2-sha1 This module is deprecated. Use gc-pbkdf2 instead.
166 2019-12-12 dfa Its API now uses ptrdiff_t instead of size_t.
168 2019-12-11 dfa To call dfamust, one must now call dfaparse
169 without yet calling dfacomp. This fixes a bug
170 introduced on 2018-10-22 that broke dfamust.
172 2019-12-07 xstrtol This module no longer defines the function
173 xstrtoll 'xstrtol_fatal'. Program that need this function
174 xstrtoimax should add the module 'xstrtol-error' to the list
175 xstrtoumax of imported modules.
177 2019-05-90 verify verify_true (deprecated 2011-06-15) is removed.
179 2019-03-16 fatal-signal The function that you pass to at_fatal_signal now
180 takes the signal as argument.
182 2019-02-02 c-strtod This and related modules no longer define
183 the HAVE_C99_STRTOLD macro. Programs requiring
184 standard strtold should use the strtold module.
186 2019-01-21 diacrit This module is deprecated. Please use the module
187 uninorm/canonical-decomposition instead.
189 2018-10-23 backupfile backup_file_rename and find_backup_file_name
190 now take an additional directory file descriptor
191 argument. Pass AT_FDCWD to get the old behavior.
193 2018-08-18 getpass The include file is changed from "getpass.h" to
194 getpass-gnu <unistd.h>.
196 2018-07-17 hard-locale m4/hard-locale.m4 and gl_HARD_LOCALE are removed.
198 2018-07-05 renameat2 This module is renamed to 'renameatu' and all
199 its include files and functions are renamed
200 accordingly.
202 2017-12-30 chdir-safer This module is removed. It was deprecated
203 on 2006-07-17.
205 2017-11-24 posixtm Previously, callers had to specify either
206 PDS_LEADING_YEAR or PDS_TRAILING_YEAR (but
207 not both). Now, callers should specify
208 only PDS_TRAILING_YEAR; leading years are
209 requested by not specifying PDS_TRAILING_YEAR.
211 2017-08-14 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to a nonzero
212 value instead of to 0, as the 'open' and
213 'openat' modules now emulate O_CLOEXEC.
215 2017-07-23 strftime This module is renamed to 'nstrftime'.
217 2017-05-19 closeout close_stdout longer closes stderr when addresses
218 are being sanitized, as the sanitizer outputs to
219 stderr afterwards.
221 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
222 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
224 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
225 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
226 time zone and its name.
228 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
229 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
231 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
232 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
234 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
235 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
237 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
239 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
240 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
242 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
243 Programs intended to be portable to C++
244 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
246 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
247 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
248 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
250 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
251 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
252 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
253 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
255 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
257 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
258 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
259 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
260 modules now depend on time_rz.
262 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
263 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
264 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
265 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
267 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
268 detection routine, then the requirements are
269 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
270 than $LIB_ACL.
272 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
274 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
275 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
276 This changes both the ABI and the API.
277 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
278 shrink the current object; callers must now use
279 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
280 large positive) size for that.
282 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
283 were removed from public structures, and the
284 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
285 and compareseq.
287 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
288 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
289 The fdsavedir function is removed.
291 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
293 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
294 function.
296 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
297 processing is resettable. If your code uses
298 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
299 only one pass over the argument array.
301 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
302 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
304 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
305 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
306 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
307 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
309 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
310 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
311 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
313 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
314 function. If you need this function, you now need
315 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
317 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
318 function. If you need this function, you now need
319 to request the 'fstatat' module.
321 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
322 function. If you need this function, you now need
323 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
325 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
326 function. If you need this function, you now need
327 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
329 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
330 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
332 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
333 function. If you need this function, you now need
334 to request the 'fchownat' module.
336 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
337 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
339 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
340 function. If you need this function, you now need
341 to request the 'fstat' module.
343 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
345 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
346 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
348 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
349 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
350 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
351 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
352 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
354 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
355 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
356 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
357 portable to GNU/Hurd.
359 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
360 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
361 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
362 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
363 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
365 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
366 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
367 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
368 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
369 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
371 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
372 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
374 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
375 is now set to "no", not to ":".
377 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
378 to <unistd.h>.
380 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
381 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
383 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
384 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
386 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
387 default; to retain robust handling of directories
388 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
389 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
391 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
392 generalized.
394 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
395 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
396 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
398 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
399 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
400 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
401 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
402 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
403 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
404 rmdir header dosname.h.
405 savewd
406 stat
407 unlink
409 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
410 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
411 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
412 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
413 (which should have been internal to the module
414 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
415 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
416 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
417 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
418 substituted for.
420 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
421 module no longer guarantees that the following are
422 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
423 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
425 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
426 function. If you need this function, you now need
427 to request the 'iswblank' module.
429 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
431 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
432 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
434 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
435 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
437 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
438 parse-datetime module for the replacement
439 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
440 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
441 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
442 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
444 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
445 function. If you need this function, you now need
446 to request the 'waitpid' module.
448 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
449 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
450 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
451 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
453 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
454 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
455 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
456 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
458 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
459 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
460 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
461 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
462 may change again in the future once glibc provides
463 this feature as well.
465 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
467 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
468 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
469 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
471 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
472 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
474 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
475 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
477 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
478 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
480 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
481 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
482 renamed to amemxfrm.
484 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
485 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
487 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
488 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
489 --disable-cxx.
491 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
492 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
493 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
494 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
496 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
497 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
498 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
499 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
500 automatically.
502 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
503 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
504 get the functions that were previously provided.
506 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
507 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
509 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
510 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
511 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
512 instead.
514 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
515 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
516 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
517 instead.
519 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
520 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
521 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
522 instead.
524 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
525 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
526 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
528 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
529 must contain an explicit dependency on
530 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
532 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
533 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
534 effect except on very old platforms.
536 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
537 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
539 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
541 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
542 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
544 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
545 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
547 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
548 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
550 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
551 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
552 to <stdlib.h>.
554 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
555 rather than only defined to 1.
557 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
558 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
559 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
560 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
561 include <unistd.h>. For all other
562 functions provided by this module,
563 continue to include "openat.h".
565 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
566 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
567 iconv_t arguments.
569 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
570 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
572 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
573 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
574 "long options" and "options with optional
575 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
577 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
578 <stdio.h>.
580 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
581 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
582 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
583 The calling convention of the functions
584 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
586 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
587 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
588 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
589 The calling convention of the functions
590 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
592 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
593 The maint.mk file was copied from
594 coreutils, and the old
595 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
596 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
597 this will add several new checks. If some
598 new check is annoying, add the name of the
599 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
600 cfg.mk.
602 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
604 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
606 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
608 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
610 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
611 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
612 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
613 for it, like this:
614 errno = 0;
615 val = c_strtod (...);
616 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
617 xalloc_die ();
619 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
620 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
622 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
623 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
625 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
626 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
627 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
628 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
629 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
630 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
632 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
633 was removed.
635 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
636 <sys/stat.h>.
638 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
639 to <netdb.h>.
641 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
642 <math.h>.
643 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
644 <math.h>.
645 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
646 <math.h>.
648 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
649 <sys/stat.h>.
651 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
652 <dirent.h>.
654 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
655 to <unistd.h>.
657 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
658 to <unistd.h>.
660 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
661 $(LIBSOCKET).
663 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
664 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
665 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
666 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
667 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
669 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
670 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
671 socket descriptors are now compatible with
672 file descriptors. In general, this change
673 will simply improve your code's portability
674 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
675 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
676 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
677 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
678 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
679 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
681 This change does not remove the need to call
682 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
683 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
684 when you include the sys_socket module; while
685 the functionality will be restored soon, for
686 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
687 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
689 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
691 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
692 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
693 equivalent function, use function
694 xconcatenated_filename from module
695 'xconcat-filename'.
697 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
698 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
699 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
700 You may need to create a symbolic link for
701 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
702 installed in $prefix/lib.
704 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
705 to <string.h>.
707 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
708 to "glthread/lock.h".
709 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
710 to "glthread/tls.h".
712 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
713 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
714 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
716 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
717 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
718 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
719 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
721 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
722 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
723 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
724 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
726 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
727 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
728 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
729 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
730 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
732 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
734 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
735 to <arpa/inet.h>.
737 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
738 to <arpa/inet.h>.
740 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
741 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
743 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
744 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
745 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
746 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
748 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
749 implementations; clients that use controlled
750 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
751 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
752 module instead for smaller code size.
754 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
755 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
756 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
757 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
758 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
760 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
761 implementations; clients that use controlled
762 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
763 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
764 module instead for smaller code size.
766 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
767 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
768 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
769 module if you need it.
771 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
772 to <unistd.h>.
774 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
775 <strings.h>.
777 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
778 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
779 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
780 module description for the applicable license.
782 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
783 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
784 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
786 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
787 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
788 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
789 areadlink_with_size.
791 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
792 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
793 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
795 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
797 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
798 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
800 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
801 error to standard error; that is now the
802 caller's responsibility. It returns an
803 error code of type enum strtol_error
804 instead of the integer option value, and stores
805 the option value via a new int * argument.
806 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
807 are now an option name and option argument
808 instead of an option argument and a type string,
809 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
811 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
813 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
814 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
816 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
817 <wchar.h>.
819 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
820 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
822 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
823 <unistd.h>.
825 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
826 was renamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
827 renamed:
828 xallocsa -> xmalloca
830 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
831 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
832 macros were renamed:
833 allocsa -> malloca
834 freesa -> freea
836 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
837 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
838 that has a different signature.
840 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
841 #include "sigprocmask.h"
842 with
843 #include <signal.h>
845 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
846 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
847 'long double' as a type exists.
849 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
850 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.
851 des Renamed to crypto/des.

870 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
871 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
873 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
874 #include "vasprintf.h"
875 with
876 #include <stdio.h>
878 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
879 <search.h>.
881 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
882 to "unistr.h".

890 to "unistr.h".
891 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
892 to "unistr.h".
894 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
895 iconv_string -> str_iconv
896 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
897 arguments)
899 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
900 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
901 carray-list You can pass NULL.
902 linked-list
903 linkedhash-list
904 avltree-list
905 rbtree-list
906 avltreehash-list
907 rbtreehash-list

915 gc-des renamed:
917 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
918 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,

923 des_ecb_decrypt -> gl_des_ecb_decrypt,
924 tripledes_set2keys -> gl_3des_set2keys,
925 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
926 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
927 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
929 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
930 using the "des" module directly.
932 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
933 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
934 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
936 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
937 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
938 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
939 #include "mkstemp.h"
940 with
941 #include <stdlib.h>
943 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
944 #include "strdup.h"
945 with
946 #include <string.h>
948 # This is for Emacs.
949 # Local Variables:
950 # coding: utf-8
951 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
952 # whitespace-check-buffer-indent: nil
953 # End:
