6 2012-06-27 elisp-comp The module 'elisp-comp' is removed; the script is
7 not independently useful outside of automake.
9 2012-06-21 gnulib-tool The option --with-tests is now implied by the
10 options --create-testdir, --test,
11 --create-megatestdir, --megatest.
13 2012-01-07 quotearg In the C locale, the function will no longer use
14 the grave accent character to begin a quoted
15 string (`like this'). It will use apostrophes
16 'like these' or, in Unicode locales, single quotes
17 ‘like these’. You may want to adjust any error
18 messages that hard code the quoting characters.
20 2010-09-04 gnulib-tool The option '--import' is no longer cumulative; it
21 now expects the complete list of modules and other
22 options on the command line. If you want to
23 augment (not set) the list of modules, use the
24 new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'.
26 User visible incompatible changes
27 ---------------------------------
31 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
32 processing is resettable. If your code uses
33 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
34 only one pass over the argument array.
36 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
37 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
39 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
40 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
41 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
42 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
44 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
45 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
46 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
48 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
49 function. If you need this function, you now need
50 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
52 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
53 function. If you need this function, you now need
54 to request the 'fstatat' module.
56 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
57 function. If you need this function, you now need
58 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
60 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
61 function. If you need this function, you now need
62 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
64 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
65 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
67 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
68 function. If you need this function, you now need
69 to request the 'fchownat' module.
71 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
72 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
74 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
75 function. If you need this function, you now need
76 to request the 'fstat' module.
78 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
80 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
81 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
83 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
84 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
85 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
86 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
87 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
89 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
90 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
91 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
94 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
95 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
96 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
97 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
98 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
100 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
101 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
102 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
103 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
104 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
106 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
107 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
109 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
110 is now set to "no", not to ":".
112 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
115 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
116 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
118 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
119 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
121 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
122 default; to retain robust handling of directories
123 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
124 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
126 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
129 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
130 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
131 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
133 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
134 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
135 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
136 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
137 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
138 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
139 rmdir header dosname.h.
144 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
145 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
146 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
147 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
148 (which should have been internal to the module
149 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
150 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
151 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
152 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
155 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
156 module no longer guarantees that the following are
157 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
158 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
160 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
161 function. If you need this function, you now need
162 to request the 'iswblank' module.
164 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
166 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
167 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
169 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
170 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
172 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
173 parse-datetime module for the replacement
174 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
175 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
176 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
177 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
179 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
180 function. If you need this function, you now need
181 to request the 'waitpid' module.
183 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
184 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
185 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
186 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
188 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
189 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
190 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
191 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
193 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
194 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
195 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
196 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
197 may change again in the future once glibc provides
198 this feature as well.
200 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
202 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
203 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
204 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
206 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
207 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
209 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
210 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
212 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
213 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
215 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
216 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
219 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
220 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
222 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
223 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
226 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
227 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
228 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
229 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
231 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
232 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
233 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
234 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
237 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
238 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
239 get the functions that were previously provided.
241 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
242 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
244 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
245 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
246 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
249 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
250 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
251 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
254 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
255 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
256 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
259 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
260 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
261 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
263 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
264 must contain an explicit dependency on
267 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
268 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
269 effect except on very old platforms.
271 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
272 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
274 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
276 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
279 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
282 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
283 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
285 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
286 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
289 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
290 rather than only defined to 1.
292 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
293 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
294 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
295 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
296 include <unistd.h>. For all other
297 functions provided by this module,
298 continue to include "openat.h".
300 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
301 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
304 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
305 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
307 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
308 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
309 "long options" and "options with optional
310 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
312 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
315 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
316 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
317 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
318 The calling convention of the functions
319 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
321 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
322 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
323 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
324 The calling convention of the functions
325 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
327 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
328 The maint.mk file was copied from
329 coreutils, and the old
330 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
331 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
332 this will add several new checks. If some
333 new check is annoying, add the name of the
334 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
337 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
339 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
341 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
343 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
345 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
346 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
347 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
350 val = c_strtod (...);
351 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
354 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
355 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
357 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
358 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
360 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
361 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
362 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
363 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
364 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
365 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
367 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
370 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
373 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
376 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
378 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
380 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
383 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
386 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
389 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
392 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
395 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
398 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
399 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
400 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
401 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
402 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
404 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
405 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
406 socket descriptors are now compatible with
407 file descriptors. In general, this change
408 will simply improve your code's portability
409 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
410 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
411 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
412 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
413 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
414 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
416 This change does not remove the need to call
417 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
418 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
419 when you include the sys_socket module; while
420 the functionality will be restored soon, for
421 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
422 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
424 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
426 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
427 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
428 equivalent function, use function
429 xconcatenated_filename from module
432 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
433 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
434 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
435 You may need to create a symbolic link for
436 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
437 installed in $prefix/lib.
439 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
442 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
443 to "glthread/lock.h".
444 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
447 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
448 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
449 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
451 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
452 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
453 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
454 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
456 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
457 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
458 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
459 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
461 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
462 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
463 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
464 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
465 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
467 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
469 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
472 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
475 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
476 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
478 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
479 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
480 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
481 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
483 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
484 implementations; clients that use controlled
485 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
486 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
487 module instead for smaller code size.
489 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
490 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
491 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
492 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
493 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
495 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
496 implementations; clients that use controlled
497 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
498 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
499 module instead for smaller code size.
501 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
502 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
503 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
504 module if you need it.
506 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
509 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
512 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
513 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
514 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
515 module description for the applicable license.
517 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
518 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
519 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
521 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
522 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
523 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
526 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
527 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
528 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
530 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
532 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
533 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
535 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
536 error to standard error; that is now the
537 caller's responsibility. It returns an
538 error code of type enum strtol_error
539 instead of the integer option value, and stores
540 the option value via a new int * argument.
541 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
542 are now an option name and option argument
543 instead of an option argument and a type string,
544 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
546 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
548 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
549 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
551 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
554 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
555 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
557 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
