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 2019-12-12 dfa Its API now uses ptrdiff_t instead of size_t.
63 2019-12-11 dfa To call dfamust, one must now call dfaparse
64 without yet calling dfacomp. This fixes a bug
65 introduced on 2018-10-22 that broke dfamust.
67 2019-12-07 xstrtol This module no longer defines the function
68 xstrtoll 'xstrtol_fatal'. Program that need this function
69 xstrtoimax should add the module 'xstrtol-error' to the list
70 xstrtoumax of imported modules.
72 2019-05-90 verify verify_true (deprecated 2011-06-15) is removed.
74 2019-03-16 fatal-signal The function that you pass to at_fatal_signal now
75 takes the signal as argument.
77 2019-02-02 c-strtod This and related modules no longer define
78 the HAVE_C99_STRTOLD macro. Programs requiring
79 standard strtold should use the strtold module.
81 2019-01-21 diacrit This module is deprecated. Please use the module
82 uninorm/canonical-decomposition instead.
84 2018-10-23 backupfile backup_file_rename and find_backup_file_name
85 now take an additional directory file descriptor
86 argument. Pass AT_FDCWD to get the old behavior.
88 2018-08-18 getpass The include file is changed from "getpass.h" to
89 getpass-gnu <unistd.h>.
91 2018-07-17 hard-locale m4/hard-locale.m4 and gl_HARD_LOCALE are removed.
93 2018-07-05 renameat2 This module is renamed to 'renameatu' and all
94 its include files and functions are renamed
95 accordingly.
97 2017-12-30 chdir-safer This module is removed. It was deprecated
98 on 2006-07-17.
100 2017-11-24 posixtm Previously, callers had to specify either
101 PDS_LEADING_YEAR or PDS_TRAILING_YEAR (but
102 not both). Now, callers should specify
103 only PDS_TRAILING_YEAR; leading years are
104 requested by not specifying PDS_TRAILING_YEAR.
106 2017-08-14 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to a nonzero
107 value instead of to 0, as the 'open' and
108 'openat' modules now emulate O_CLOEXEC.
110 2017-07-23 strftime This module is renamed to 'nstrftime'.
112 2017-05-19 closeout close_stdout longer closes stderr when addresses
113 are being sanitized, as the sanitizer outputs to
114 stderr afterwards.
116 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
117 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
119 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
120 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
121 time zone and its name.
123 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
124 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
126 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
127 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
129 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
130 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
132 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
134 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
135 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
137 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
138 Programs intended to be portable to C++
139 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
141 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
142 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
143 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
145 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
146 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
147 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
148 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
150 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
152 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
153 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
154 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
155 modules now depend on time_rz.
157 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
158 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
159 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
160 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
162 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
163 detection routine, then the requirements are
164 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
165 than $LIB_ACL.
167 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
169 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
170 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
171 This changes both the ABI and the API.
172 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
173 shrink the current object; callers must now use
174 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
175 large positive) size for that.
177 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
178 were removed from public structures, and the
179 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
180 and compareseq.
182 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
183 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
184 The fdsavedir function is removed.
186 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
188 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
189 function.
191 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
192 processing is resettable. If your code uses
193 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
194 only one pass over the argument array.
196 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
197 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
199 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
200 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
201 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
202 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
204 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
205 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
206 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
208 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
209 function. If you need this function, you now need
210 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
212 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
213 function. If you need this function, you now need
214 to request the 'fstatat' module.
216 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
217 function. If you need this function, you now need
218 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
220 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
221 function. If you need this function, you now need
222 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
224 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
225 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
227 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
228 function. If you need this function, you now need
229 to request the 'fchownat' module.
231 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
232 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
234 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
235 function. If you need this function, you now need
236 to request the 'fstat' module.
238 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
240 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
241 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
243 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
244 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
245 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
246 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
247 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
249 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
250 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
251 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
252 portable to GNU/Hurd.
254 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
255 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
256 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
257 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
258 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
260 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
261 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
262 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
263 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
264 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
266 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
267 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
269 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
270 is now set to "no", not to ":".
272 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
273 to <unistd.h>.
275 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
276 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
278 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
279 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
281 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
282 default; to retain robust handling of directories
283 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
284 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
286 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
287 generalized.
289 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
290 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
291 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
293 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
294 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
295 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
296 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
297 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
298 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
299 rmdir header dosname.h.
300 savewd
301 stat
302 unlink
304 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
305 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
306 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
307 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
308 (which should have been internal to the module
309 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
310 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
311 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
312 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
313 substituted for.
315 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
316 module no longer guarantees that the following are
317 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
318 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
320 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
321 function. If you need this function, you now need
322 to request the 'iswblank' module.
324 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
326 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
327 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
329 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
330 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
332 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
333 parse-datetime module for the replacement
334 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
335 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
336 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
337 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
339 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
340 function. If you need this function, you now need
341 to request the 'waitpid' module.
343 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
344 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
345 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
346 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
348 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
349 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
350 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
351 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
353 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
354 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
355 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
356 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
357 may change again in the future once glibc provides
358 this feature as well.
360 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
362 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
363 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
364 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
366 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
367 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
369 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
370 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
372 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
373 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
375 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
376 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
377 renamed to amemxfrm.
379 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
380 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
382 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
383 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
384 --disable-cxx.
386 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
387 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
388 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
389 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
391 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
392 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
393 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
394 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
395 automatically.
397 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
398 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
399 get the functions that were previously provided.
401 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
402 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
404 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
405 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
406 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
407 instead.
409 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
410 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
411 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
412 instead.
414 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
415 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
416 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
417 instead.
419 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
420 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
421 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
423 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
424 must contain an explicit dependency on
425 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
427 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
428 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
429 effect except on very old platforms.
431 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
432 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
434 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
436 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
437 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
439 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
440 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
442 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
443 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
445 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
446 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
447 to <stdlib.h>.
449 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
450 rather than only defined to 1.
452 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
453 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
454 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
455 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
456 include <unistd.h>. For all other
457 functions provided by this module,
458 continue to include "openat.h".
460 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
461 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
462 iconv_t arguments.
464 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
465 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
467 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
468 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
469 "long options" and "options with optional
470 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
472 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
473 <stdio.h>.
475 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
476 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
477 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
478 The calling convention of the functions
479 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
481 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
482 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
483 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
484 The calling convention of the functions
485 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
487 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
488 The maint.mk file was copied from
489 coreutils, and the old
490 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
491 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
492 this will add several new checks. If some
493 new check is annoying, add the name of the
494 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
495 cfg.mk.
497 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
499 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
501 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
503 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
505 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
506 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
507 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
508 for it, like this:
509 errno = 0;
510 val = c_strtod (...);
511 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
512 xalloc_die ();
514 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
515 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
517 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
518 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
520 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
521 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
522 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
523 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
524 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
525 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
527 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
528 was removed.
530 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
531 <sys/stat.h>.
533 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
534 to <netdb.h>.
536 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
537 <math.h>.
538 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
539 <math.h>.
540 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
541 <math.h>.
543 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
544 <sys/stat.h>.
546 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
547 <dirent.h>.
549 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
550 to <unistd.h>.
552 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
553 to <unistd.h>.
555 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
556 $(LIBSOCKET).
558 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
559 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
560 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
561 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
562 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
564 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
565 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
566 socket descriptors are now compatible with
567 file descriptors. In general, this change
568 will simply improve your code's portability
569 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
570 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
571 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
572 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
573 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
574 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
576 This change does not remove the need to call
577 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
578 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
579 when you include the sys_socket module; while
580 the functionality will be restored soon, for
581 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
582 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
584 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
586 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
587 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
588 equivalent function, use function
589 xconcatenated_filename from module
590 'xconcat-filename'.
592 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
593 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
594 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
595 You may need to create a symbolic link for
596 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
597 installed in $prefix/lib.
599 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
600 to <string.h>.
602 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
603 to "glthread/lock.h".
604 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
605 to "glthread/tls.h".
607 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
608 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
609 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
611 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
612 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
613 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
614 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
616 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
617 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
618 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
619 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
621 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
622 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
623 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
624 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
625 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
627 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
629 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
630 to <arpa/inet.h>.
632 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
633 to <arpa/inet.h>.
635 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
636 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
638 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
639 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
640 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
641 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
643 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
644 implementations; clients that use controlled
645 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
646 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
647 module instead for smaller code size.
649 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
650 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
651 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
652 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
653 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
655 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
656 implementations; clients that use controlled
657 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
658 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
659 module instead for smaller code size.
661 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
662 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
663 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
664 module if you need it.
666 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
667 to <unistd.h>.
669 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
670 <strings.h>.
672 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
673 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
674 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
675 module description for the applicable license.
677 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
678 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
679 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
681 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
682 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
683 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
684 areadlink_with_size.
686 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
687 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
688 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
690 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
692 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
693 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
695 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
696 error to standard error; that is now the
697 caller's responsibility. It returns an
698 error code of type enum strtol_error
699 instead of the integer option value, and stores
700 the option value via a new int * argument.
701 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
702 are now an option name and option argument
703 instead of an option argument and a type string,
704 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
706 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
708 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
709 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
711 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
712 <wchar.h>.
714 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
715 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
717 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
718 <unistd.h>.
720 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
721 was renamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
722 renamed:
723 xallocsa -> xmalloca
725 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
726 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
727 macros were renamed:
728 allocsa -> malloca
729 freesa -> freea
731 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
732 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
733 that has a different signature.
735 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
736 #include "sigprocmask.h"
737 with
738 #include <signal.h>
740 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
741 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
742 'long double' as a type exists.

768 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
769 #include "vasprintf.h"
770 with
771 #include <stdio.h>
773 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to

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

827 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
828 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
829 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
831 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
832 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
833 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
834 #include "mkstemp.h"
