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 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
46 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
48 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
49 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
51 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
52 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
54 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
56 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
57 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
59 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
60 Programs intended to be portable to C++
61 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
63 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
64 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
65 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
67 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
68 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
69 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
70 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
72 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
74 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
75 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
76 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
77 modules now depend on time_rz.
79 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
80 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
81 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
82 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
84 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
85 detection routine, then the requirements are
86 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
87 than $LIB_ACL.
89 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
91 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
92 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
93 This changes both the ABI and the API.
94 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
95 shrink the current object; callers must now use
96 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
97 large positive) size for that.
99 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
100 were removed from public structures, and the
101 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
102 and compareseq.
104 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
105 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
106 The fdsavedir function is removed.
108 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
110 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
111 function.
113 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
114 processing is resettable. If your code uses
115 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
116 only one pass over the argument array.
118 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
119 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
121 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
122 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
123 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
124 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
126 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
127 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
128 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
130 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
131 function. If you need this function, you now need
132 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
134 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
135 function. If you need this function, you now need
136 to request the 'fstatat' module.
138 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
139 function. If you need this function, you now need
140 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
142 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
143 function. If you need this function, you now need
144 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
146 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
147 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
149 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
150 function. If you need this function, you now need
151 to request the 'fchownat' module.
153 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
154 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
156 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
157 function. If you need this function, you now need
158 to request the 'fstat' module.
160 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
162 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
163 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
165 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
166 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
167 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
168 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
169 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
171 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
172 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
173 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
174 portable to GNU/Hurd.
176 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
177 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
178 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
179 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
180 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
182 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
183 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
184 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
185 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
186 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
188 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
189 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
191 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
192 is now set to "no", not to ":".
194 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
195 to <unistd.h>.
197 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
198 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
200 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
201 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
203 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
204 default; to retain robust handling of directories
205 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
206 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
208 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
209 generalized.
211 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
212 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
213 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
215 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
216 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
217 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
218 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
219 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
220 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
221 rmdir header dosname.h.
222 savewd
223 stat
224 unlink
226 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
227 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
228 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
229 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
230 (which should have been internal to the module
231 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
232 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
233 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
234 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
235 substituted for.
237 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
238 module no longer guarantees that the following are
239 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
240 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
242 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
243 function. If you need this function, you now need
244 to request the 'iswblank' module.
246 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
248 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
249 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
251 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
252 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
254 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
255 parse-datetime module for the replacement
256 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
257 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
258 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
259 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
261 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
262 function. If you need this function, you now need
263 to request the 'waitpid' module.
265 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
266 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
267 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
268 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
270 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
271 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
272 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
273 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
275 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
276 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
277 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
278 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
279 may change again in the future once glibc provides
280 this feature as well.
282 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
284 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
285 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
286 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
288 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
289 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
291 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
292 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
294 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
295 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
297 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
298 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
299 renamed to amemxfrm.
301 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
302 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
304 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
305 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
306 --disable-cxx.
308 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
309 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
310 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
311 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
313 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
314 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
315 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
316 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
317 automatically.
319 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
320 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
321 get the functions that were previously provided.
323 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
324 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
326 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
327 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
328 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
329 instead.
331 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
332 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
333 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
334 instead.
336 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
337 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
338 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
339 instead.
341 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
342 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
343 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
345 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
346 must contain an explicit dependency on
347 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
349 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
350 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
351 effect except on very old platforms.
353 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
354 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
356 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
358 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
359 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
361 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
362 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
364 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
365 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
367 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
368 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
369 to <stdlib.h>.
371 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
372 rather than only defined to 1.
374 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
375 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
376 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
377 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
378 include <unistd.h>. For all other
379 functions provided by this module,
380 continue to include "openat.h".
382 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
383 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
384 iconv_t arguments.
386 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
387 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
389 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
390 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
391 "long options" and "options with optional
392 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
394 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
395 <stdio.h>.
397 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
398 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
399 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
400 The calling convention of the functions
401 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
403 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
404 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
405 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
406 The calling convention of the functions
407 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
409 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
410 The maint.mk file was copied from
411 coreutils, and the old
412 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
413 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
414 this will add several new checks. If some
415 new check is annoying, add the name of the
416 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
417 cfg.mk.
419 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
421 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
423 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
425 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
427 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
428 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
429 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
430 for it, like this:
431 errno = 0;
432 val = c_strtod (...);
433 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
434 xalloc_die ();
436 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
437 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
439 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
440 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
442 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
443 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
444 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
445 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
446 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
447 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
449 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
450 was removed.
452 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
453 <sys/stat.h>.
455 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
456 to <netdb.h>.
458 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
459 <math.h>.
460 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
461 <math.h>.
462 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
463 <math.h>.
465 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
466 <sys/stat.h>.
468 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
469 <dirent.h>.
471 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
472 to <unistd.h>.
474 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
475 to <unistd.h>.
477 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
478 $(LIBSOCKET).
480 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
481 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
482 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
483 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
484 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
486 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
487 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
488 socket descriptors are now compatible with
489 file descriptors. In general, this change
490 will simply improve your code's portability
491 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
492 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
493 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
494 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
495 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
496 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
498 This change does not remove the need to call
499 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
500 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
501 when you include the sys_socket module; while
502 the functionality will be restored soon, for
503 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
504 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
506 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
508 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
509 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
510 equivalent function, use function
511 xconcatenated_filename from module
512 'xconcat-filename'.
514 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
515 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
516 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
517 You may need to create a symbolic link for
518 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
519 installed in $prefix/lib.
521 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
522 to <string.h>.
524 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
525 to "glthread/lock.h".
526 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
527 to "glthread/tls.h".
529 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
530 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
531 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
533 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
534 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
535 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
536 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
538 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
539 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
540 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
541 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
543 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
544 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
545 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
546 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
547 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks

558 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
560 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
561 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
562 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
563 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
565 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
566 implementations; clients that use controlled
567 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
568 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
569 module instead for smaller code size.
571 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
572 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
573 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
574 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
575 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
577 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
578 implementations; clients that use controlled
579 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
580 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
581 module instead for smaller code size.
583 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
584 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
585 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
586 module if you need it.
588 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
589 to <unistd.h>.
591 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
592 <strings.h>.

596 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
597 module description for the applicable license.
599 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
600 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
601 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
603 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
604 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
605 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
606 areadlink_with_size.
608 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
609 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
610 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
612 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
614 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
615 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
617 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
618 error to standard error; that is now the
619 caller's responsibility. It returns an
620 error code of type enum strtol_error
621 instead of the integer option value, and stores
622 the option value via a new int * argument.
623 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
624 are now an option name and option argument
625 instead of an option argument and a type string,
626 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
628 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
630 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
631 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
633 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
634 <wchar.h>.
636 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.

647 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
648 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
649 macros were renamed:
650 allocsa -> malloca
651 freesa -> freea
653 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
654 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
655 that has a different signature.
657 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
658 #include "sigprocmask.h"
659 with
660 #include <signal.h>
662 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
663 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
664 'long double' as a type exists.

750 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
751 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
