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 2017-08-14 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to a nonzero
46 value instead of to 0, as the 'open' and
47 'openat' modules now emulate O_CLOEXEC.
49 2017-07-23 strftime This module is renamed to 'nstrftime'.
51 2017-05-19 closeout close_stdout longer closes stderr when addresses
52 are being sanitized, as the sanitizer outputs to
53 stderr afterwards.
55 2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
56 on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
58 2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
59 more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
60 time zone and its name.
62 2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
63 'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
65 2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
66 from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
68 2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
69 getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
71 2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
73 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
74 2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
76 2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
77 Programs intended to be portable to C++
78 compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
80 2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
81 TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
82 TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
84 2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
85 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
86 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
87 C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
89 2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
91 2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
92 strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
93 type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
94 modules now depend on time_rz.
96 2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
97 Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
98 Using only the latter module makes for fewer
99 link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
101 2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
102 detection routine, then the requirements are
103 potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
104 than $LIB_ACL.
106 2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
108 2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
109 int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
110 This changes both the ABI and the API.
111 obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
112 shrink the current object; callers must now use
113 obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
114 large positive) size for that.
116 2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
117 were removed from public structures, and the
118 find_minimal argument was removed from diag
119 and compareseq.
121 2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
122 new argument specifying how to sort the result.
123 The fdsavedir function is removed.
125 2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
127 2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
128 function.
130 2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
131 processing is resettable. If your code uses
132 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
133 only one pass over the argument array.
135 2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
136 Use STREQ_OPT instead.
138 2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
139 function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
140 so briefly before then that it never came into use.
141 Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
143 2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
144 using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
145 named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
147 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
148 function. If you need this function, you now need
149 to request the 'mkdirat' module.
151 2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
152 function. If you need this function, you now need
153 to request the 'fstatat' module.
155 2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
156 function. If you need this function, you now need
157 to request the 'unlinkat' module.
159 2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
160 function. If you need this function, you now need
161 to request the 'fchmodat' module.
163 2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
164 Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
166 2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
167 function. If you need this function, you now need
168 to request the 'fchownat' module.
170 2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
171 from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
173 2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
174 function. If you need this function, you now need
175 to request the 'fstat' module.
177 2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
179 2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
180 from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
182 2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
183 opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
184 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
185 If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
186 If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
188 2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
189 PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
190 listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
191 portable to GNU/Hurd.
193 2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
194 If your code creates a socket descriptor using
195 socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
196 to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
197 stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
199 2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
200 c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
201 link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
202 unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
203 warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
205 2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
206 verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
208 2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
209 is now set to "no", not to ":".
211 2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
212 to <unistd.h>.
214 2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
215 on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
217 2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
218 a new 'xgetgroups' module.
220 2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
221 default; to retain robust handling of directories
222 with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
223 must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
225 2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
226 generalized.
228 2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
229 but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
230 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
232 2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
233 dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
234 backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
235 lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
236 openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
237 remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
238 rmdir header dosname.h.
239 savewd
240 stat
241 unlink
243 2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
244 HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
245 to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
246 longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
247 (which should have been internal to the module
248 anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
249 removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
250 GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
251 KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
252 substituted for.
254 2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
255 module no longer guarantees that the following are
256 defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
257 srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
259 2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
260 function. If you need this function, you now need
261 to request the 'iswblank' module.
263 2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
265 2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
266 instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
268 2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
269 file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
271 2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new
272 parse-datetime module for the replacement
273 function parse_datetime(), or help us write
274 getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
275 "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
276 and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
278 2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid()
279 function. If you need this function, you now need
280 to request the 'waitpid' module.
282 2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
283 signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers
284 of gl_futimens should change function name, and
285 callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order.
287 2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes
288 first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new
289 atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code
290 should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag.
292 2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for
293 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of
294 regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program
295 is being configured --with-included-regex. This
296 may change again in the future once glibc provides
297 this feature as well.
299 2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated.
301 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
302 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
303 Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC".
305 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
306 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
308 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
309 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
311 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
312 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
314 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
315 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
316 renamed to amemxfrm.
318 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
319 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
321 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
322 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
323 --disable-cxx.
325 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
326 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
327 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
328 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
330 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
331 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
332 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
333 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
334 automatically.
336 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
337 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
338 get the functions that were previously provided.
340 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
341 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
343 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
344 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
345 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
346 instead.
348 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
349 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
350 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
351 instead.
353 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
354 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
355 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
356 instead.
358 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
359 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
360 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
362 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
363 must contain an explicit dependency on
364 $(LINK_WARNING_H).
366 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
367 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
368 effect except on very old platforms.
370 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
371 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
373 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
375 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
376 $(INET_PTON_LIB).
378 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
379 $(INET_NTOP_LIB).
381 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
382 $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
384 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
385 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
386 to <stdlib.h>.
388 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
389 rather than only defined to 1.
391 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
392 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
393 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
394 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
395 include <unistd.h>. For all other
396 functions provided by this module,
397 continue to include "openat.h".
399 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
400 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
401 iconv_t arguments.
403 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
404 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
406 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
407 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
408 "long options" and "options with optional
409 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
411 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
412 <stdio.h>.
414 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
415 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
416 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
417 The calling convention of the functions
418 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
420 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
421 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
422 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
423 The calling convention of the functions
424 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
426 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
427 The maint.mk file was copied from
428 coreutils, and the old
429 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
430 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
431 this will add several new checks. If some
432 new check is annoying, add the name of the
433 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
434 cfg.mk.
436 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
438 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
440 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
442 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
444 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
445 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
446 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
447 for it, like this:
448 errno = 0;
449 val = c_strtod (...);
450 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
451 xalloc_die ();
453 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
454 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
456 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
457 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
459 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
460 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
461 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
462 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
463 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
464 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
466 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
467 was removed.
469 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
470 <sys/stat.h>.
472 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
473 to <netdb.h>.
475 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
476 <math.h>.
477 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
478 <math.h>.
479 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
480 <math.h>.
482 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
483 <sys/stat.h>.
485 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
486 <dirent.h>.
488 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
489 to <unistd.h>.
491 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
492 to <unistd.h>.
494 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
495 $(LIBSOCKET).
497 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
498 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
499 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
500 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
501 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
503 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
504 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
505 socket descriptors are now compatible with
506 file descriptors. In general, this change
507 will simply improve your code's portability
508 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
509 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
510 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
511 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
512 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
513 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
515 This change does not remove the need to call
516 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
517 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
518 when you include the sys_socket module; while
519 the functionality will be restored soon, for
520 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
521 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
523 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
525 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
526 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
527 equivalent function, use function
528 xconcatenated_filename from module
529 'xconcat-filename'.
531 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
532 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
533 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
534 You may need to create a symbolic link for
535 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
536 installed in $prefix/lib.
538 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
539 to <string.h>.
541 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
542 to "glthread/lock.h".
543 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
544 to "glthread/tls.h".
546 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
547 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
548 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
550 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
551 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
552 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
553 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
555 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
556 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
557 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
558 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
560 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
561 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
562 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
563 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
564 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
566 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
568 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
569 to <arpa/inet.h>.

574 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
575 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
577 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
578 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
579 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
580 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
582 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
583 implementations; clients that use controlled
584 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
585 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
586 module instead for smaller code size.
588 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
589 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
590 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
591 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
592 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
594 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
595 implementations; clients that use controlled
596 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
597 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
598 module instead for smaller code size.
600 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
601 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
602 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
603 module if you need it.
605 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
606 to <unistd.h>.
608 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
609 <strings.h>.

612 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
613 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
614 module description for the applicable license.
616 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
617 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
618 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
620 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
621 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
622 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
623 areadlink_with_size.
625 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
626 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
627 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
629 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
631 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
632 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
634 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
635 error to standard error; that is now the
636 caller's responsibility. It returns an
637 error code of type enum strtol_error
638 instead of the integer option value, and stores
639 the option value via a new int * argument.
640 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
641 are now an option name and option argument
642 instead of an option argument and a type string,
643 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
645 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
647 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
648 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
650 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
651 <wchar.h>.
653 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
654 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)

665 was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
666 macros were renamed:
667 allocsa -> malloca
668 freesa -> freea
670 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
671 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
672 that has a different signature.
674 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
675 #include "sigprocmask.h"
676 with
677 #include <signal.h>
679 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
680 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
681 'long double' as a type exists.

709 with
710 #include <stdio.h>
712 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to

766 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
767 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
768 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
