1 Important general notes
2 -----------------------
4 Date Modules Changes
6 2016-09-05 progname There is now an alternate module 'getprogname'. It
7 defines a getprogname() function; use it to obtain
8 the name of the current program.
9 Recommended use:
10 - In a program's main() function, and associated
11 usage() and help() functions, use 'progname'.
12 - In library code, or more generally any code that
13 is not near the main() function, use
14 'getprogname'.
16 2013-04-24 gettext If your project uses 'gettextize --intl' it is now
17 your responsibility to put -I$(top_builddir)/intl
18 into the Makefile.am for gnulib.
20 2012-06-27 elisp-comp The module 'elisp-comp' is removed; the script is
21 not independently useful outside of automake.
23 2012-06-21 gnulib-tool The option --with-tests is now implied by the
24 options --create-testdir, --test,
25 --create-megatestdir, --megatest.
27 2012-01-07 quotearg In the C locale, the function will no longer use
28 the grave accent character to begin a quoted
29 string (`like this'). It will use apostrophes
30 'like these' or, in Unicode locales, single quotes
31 ‘like these’. You may want to adjust any error
32 messages that hard code the quoting characters.
34 2010-09-04 gnulib-tool The option '--import' is no longer cumulative; it
35 now expects the complete list of modules and other
36 options on the command line. If you want to
37 augment (not set) the list of modules, use the
38 new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'.
40 User visible incompatible changes
41 ---------------------------------
43 Date Modules Changes
45 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
46 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
48 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
49 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
50 time zone and its name.
52 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
53 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
55 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
56 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
58 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
59 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
61 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
63 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
64 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
66 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
67 Programs intended to be portable to C++
68 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
70 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
71 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
72 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
74 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
75 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
76 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
77 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
79 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
81 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
82 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
83 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
84 modules now depend on time_rz.
86 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
87 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
88 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
89 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
91 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
92 detection routine, then the requirements are
93 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
94 than $LIB_ACL.
96 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
98 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
99 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
100 This changes both the ABI and the API.
101 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
102 shrink the current object; callers must now use
103 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
104 large positive) size for that.
106 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
107 were removed from public structures, and the
108 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
109 and compareseq.
111 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
112 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
113 The fdsavedir function is removed.
115 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
117 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
118 function.
120 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
121 processing is resettable. If your code uses
122 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
123 only one pass over the argument array.
125 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
126 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
128 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
129 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
130 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
131 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
133 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
134 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
135 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
137 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
138 function. If you need this function, you now need
139 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
141 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
142 function. If you need this function, you now need
143 to request the 'fstatat' module.
145 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
146 function. If you need this function, you now need
147 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
149 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
150 function. If you need this function, you now need
151 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
153 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
154 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
156 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
157 function. If you need this function, you now need
158 to request the 'fchownat' module.
160 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
161 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
163 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
164 function. If you need this function, you now need
165 to request the 'fstat' module.
167 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
169 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
170 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
172 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
173 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
174 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
175 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
176 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
178 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
179 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
180 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
181 portable to GNU/Hurd.
183 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
184 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
185 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
186 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
187 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
189 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
190 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
191 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
192 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
193 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
195 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
196 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
198 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
199 is now set to "no", not to ":".
201 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
202 to <unistd.h>.
204 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
205 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
207 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
208 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
210 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
211 default; to retain robust handling of directories
212 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
213 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
215 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
216 generalized.
218 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
219 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
220 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
222 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
223 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
224 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
225 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
226 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
227 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
228 rmdir header dosname.h.
229 savewd
230 stat
231 unlink
233 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
234 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
235 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
236 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
237 (which should have been internal to the module
238 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
239 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
240 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
241 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
242 substituted for.
244 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
245 module no longer guarantees that the following are
246 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
247 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
249 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
250 function. If you need this function, you now need
251 to request the 'iswblank' module.
253 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
255 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
256 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
258 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
259 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
261 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
262 parse-datetime module for the replacement
263 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
264 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
265 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
266 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
268 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
269 function. If you need this function, you now need
270 to request the 'waitpid' module.
272 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
273 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
274 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
275 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
277 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
278 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
279 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
280 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
282 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
283 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
284 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
285 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
286 may change again in the future once glibc provides
287 this feature as well.
289 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
291 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
292 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
293 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
295 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
296 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
298 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
299 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
301 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
302 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
304 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
305 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
306 renamed to amemxfrm.
308 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
309 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
311 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
312 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
313 --disable-cxx.
315 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
316 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
317 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
318 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
320 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
321 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
322 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
323 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
324 automatically.
326 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
327 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
328 get the functions that were previously provided.
330 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
331 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
333 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
334 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
335 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
336 instead.
338 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
339 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
340 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
341 instead.
343 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
344 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
345 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
346 instead.
348 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
349 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
350 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
352 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
353 must contain an explicit dependency on
354 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
356 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
357 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
358 effect except on very old platforms.
360 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
361 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
363 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
365 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
366 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
368 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
369 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
371 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
372 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
374 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
375 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
376 to <stdlib.h>.
378 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
379 rather than only defined to 1.
381 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
382 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
383 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
384 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
385 include <unistd.h>. For all other
386 functions provided by this module,
387 continue to include "openat.h".
389 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
390 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
391 iconv_t arguments.
393 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
394 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
396 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
397 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
398 "long options" and "options with optional
399 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
401 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
402 <stdio.h>.
404 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
405 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
406 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
407 The calling convention of the functions
408 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
410 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
411 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
412 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
413 The calling convention of the functions
414 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
416 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
417 The maint.mk file was copied from
418 coreutils, and the old
419 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
420 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
421 this will add several new checks. If some
422 new check is annoying, add the name of the
423 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
424 cfg.mk.
426 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
428 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
430 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
432 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
434 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
435 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
436 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
437 for it, like this:
438 errno = 0;
439 val = c_strtod (...);
440 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
441 xalloc_die ();
443 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
444 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
446 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
447 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
449 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
450 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
451 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
452 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
453 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
454 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
456 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
457 was removed.
459 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
460 <sys/stat.h>.
462 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
463 to <netdb.h>.
465 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
466 <math.h>.
467 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
468 <math.h>.
469 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
470 <math.h>.
472 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
473 <sys/stat.h>.
475 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
476 <dirent.h>.
478 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
479 to <unistd.h>.
481 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
482 to <unistd.h>.
484 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
485 $(LIBSOCKET).
487 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
488 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
489 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
490 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
491 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
493 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
494 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
495 socket descriptors are now compatible with
496 file descriptors. In general, this change
497 will simply improve your code's portability
498 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
499 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
500 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
501 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
502 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
503 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
505 This change does not remove the need to call
506 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
507 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
508 when you include the sys_socket module; while
509 the functionality will be restored soon, for
510 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
511 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
513 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
515 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
516 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
517 equivalent function, use function
518 xconcatenated_filename from module
519 'xconcat-filename'.
521 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
522 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
523 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
524 You may need to create a symbolic link for
525 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
526 installed in $prefix/lib.
528 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
529 to <string.h>.
531 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
532 to "glthread/lock.h".
533 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
534 to "glthread/tls.h".
536 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
537 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
538 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
540 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
541 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
542 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
543 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
545 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
546 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
547 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
548 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
550 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
551 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
552 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
553 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
554 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks

565 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
567 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
568 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
569 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
570 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
572 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
573 implementations; clients that use controlled
574 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
575 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
576 module instead for smaller code size.
578 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
579 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
580 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
581 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
582 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
584 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
585 implementations; clients that use controlled
586 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
587 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
588 module instead for smaller code size.
590 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
591 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
592 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
593 module if you need it.
595 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
596 to <unistd.h>.
598 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
599 <strings.h>.

603 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
604 module description for the applicable license.
606 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
607 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
608 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.

611 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
612 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
613 areadlink_with_size.
615 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
616 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
617 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

621 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
622 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
624 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
625 error to standard error; that is now the
626 caller's responsibility. It returns an
627 error code of type enum strtol_error
628 instead of the integer option value, and stores
629 the option value via a new int * argument.
630 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
631 are now an option name and option argument
632 instead of an option argument and a type string,
633 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
635 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
637 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
638 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
640 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
641 <wchar.h>.
643 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.

655 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
656 macros were renamed:
657 allocsa -> malloca
658 freesa -> freea
660 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
661 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
662 that has a different signature.
664 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
665 #include "sigprocmask.h"
666 with
667 #include <signal.h>
669 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
