4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
10 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
12 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
13 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
14 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
15 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
16 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
17 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
19 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
22 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
25 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
28 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
30 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
32 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
35 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
38 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
41 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
44 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
47 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
50 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
51 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
52 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
53 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
54 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
56 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
57 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
58 socket descriptors are now compatible with
59 file descriptors. In general, this change
60 will simply improve your code's portability
61 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
62 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
63 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
64 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
65 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
66 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
68 This change does not remove the need to call
69 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
70 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
71 when you include the sys_socket module; while
72 the functionality will be restored soon, for
73 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
74 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
76 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
78 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
79 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
80 equivalent function, use function
81 xconcatenated_filename from module
84 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
85 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
86 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
87 You may need to create a symbolic link for
88 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
89 installed in $prefix/lib.
91 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
94 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
96 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
99 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
100 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
101 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
103 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
104 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
105 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
106 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
108 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
109 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
110 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
111 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
113 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
114 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
115 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
116 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
117 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
119 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
121 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
124 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
127 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
128 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
130 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
131 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
132 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
133 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
135 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
136 implementations; clients that use controlled
137 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
138 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
139 module instead for smaller code size.
141 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
142 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
143 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
144 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
145 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
147 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
148 implementations; clients that use controlled
149 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
150 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
151 module instead for smaller code size.
153 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
154 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
155 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
156 module if you need it.
158 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
161 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
164 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
165 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
166 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
167 module description for the applicable license.
169 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
170 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
171 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
173 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
174 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
175 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
178 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
179 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
180 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
182 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
184 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
185 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
187 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
188 error to standard error; that is now the
189 caller's responsibility. It returns an
190 error code of type enum strtol_error
191 instead of the integer option value, and stores
192 the option value via a new int * argument.
193 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
194 are now an option name and option argument
195 instead of an option argument and a type string,
196 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
198 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
200 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
201 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
203 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
206 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
207 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
209 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
212 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
213 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
217 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
218 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
223 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
224 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
225 that has a different signature.
227 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
228 #include "sigprocmask.h"
232 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
233 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
234 'long double' as a type exists.

278 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
281 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
282 iconv_string -> str_iconv
283 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
286 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
287 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
288 carray-list You can pass NULL.
296 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
297 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

313 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
314 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
316 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
317 using the "des" module directly.
319 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
320 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
321 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
