   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2008-09-01  filename        The module does not define the function
  10                             concatenated_filename any more. To get an
  11                             equivalent function, use function
  12                             xconcatenated_filename from module
  13                             'xconcat-filename'.
  14
  15 2008-08-31  havelib         On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
  16                             libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
  17                             Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
  18                             You may need to create a symbolic link for
  19                             $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
  20                             installed in $prefix/lib.
  21
  22 2008-08-19  strverscmp      The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
  23                             to <string.h>.
  24
  25 2008-08-14  lock            The include file is changed from "lock.h"
  26                             to "glthread/lock.h".
  27             tls             The include file is changed from "tls.h"
  28                             to "glthread/tls.h".
  29
  30 2008-07-17  c-stack         The module now requires the addition of
  31                             $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
  32                             since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
  33
  34 2008-07-07  isnanf-nolibm   The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
  35                             to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
  36             isnand-nolibm   The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
  37                             to "isnand-nolibm.h".
  38
  39 2008-06-10  execute         The execute function takes an additional termsigp
  40                             argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
  41             wait-process    The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
  42                             termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
  43
  44 2008-05-10  linebreak       The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
  45                             The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
  46                             "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
  47                             mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
  48                             mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
  49
  50 2008-04-28  rpmatch         The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
  51
  52 2008-04-28  inet_ntop       The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
  53                             to <arpa/inet.h>.
  54
  55 2008-04-28  inet_pton       The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"

  59                             now increases by 1 after ungetc.
  60
  61 2008-01-26  isnan-nolibm    The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
  62                             isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
  63                             "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
  64                             defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
  65
  66 2008-01-14  strcasestr      This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  67                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  68                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  69                             efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
  70                             module instead for smaller code size.
  71
  72 2008-01-09  alloca-opt      Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
  73                             supplies an <alloca.h>.  Gnulib-using code is now
  74                             expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
  75                             Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
  76                             <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
  77
  78 2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  79                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  80                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  81                             efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
  82                             module instead for smaller code size.
  83
  84 2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
  85                             <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
  86                             longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
  87                             module if you need it.
  88
  89 2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"

  93                             <strings.h>.
  94
  95 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  96                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  97                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  98                             module description for the applicable license.
  99
 100 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
 101                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
 102                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
 103
 104 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
 105                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
 106                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
 107                             areadlink_with_size.
 108
 109 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
 110                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
 111                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

 117
 118 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
 119                             error to standard error; that is now the
 120                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
 121                             error code of type enum strtol_error
 122                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
 123                             the option value via a new int * argument.
 124             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
 125                             are now an option name and option argument
 126                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
 127                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.

 153
 154 2007-05-20  utimens         Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
 155                             conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
 156                             that has a different signature.
 157
 158 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
