4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
10 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
11 socket descriptors are now compatible with
12 file descriptors. In general, this change
13 will simply improve your code's portability
14 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
15 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
16 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
17 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
18 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
19 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
21 This change does not remove the need to call
22 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
23 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
24 when you include the sys_socket module; while
25 the functionality will be restored soon, for
26 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
27 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
29 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
31 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
32 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
33 equivalent function, use function
34 xconcatenated_filename from module
37 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
38 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
39 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
40 You may need to create a symbolic link for
41 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
42 installed in $prefix/lib.
44 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
47 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
49 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
52 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
53 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
54 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
56 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
58 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
61 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
62 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
63 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
64 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
66 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
67 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
68 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
69 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
70 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
72 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
74 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
77 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
80 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
81 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
83 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
84 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
85 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
86 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
88 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
89 implementations; clients that use controlled
90 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
91 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
92 module instead for smaller code size.
94 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
95 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
96 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
97 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
98 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
100 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
101 implementations; clients that use controlled
102 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
103 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
104 module instead for smaller code size.
106 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
107 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
108 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
109 module if you need it.
111 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
114 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
117 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
118 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
119 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
120 module description for the applicable license.
122 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
123 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
124 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
126 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
127 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
128 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
131 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
132 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
133 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
135 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
137 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
138 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
140 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
141 error to standard error; that is now the
142 caller's responsibility. It returns an
143 error code of type enum strtol_error
144 instead of the integer option value, and stores
145 the option value via a new int * argument.
146 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
147 are now an option name and option argument
148 instead of an option argument and a type string,
149 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
151 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
153 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
154 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
156 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
159 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
160 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
162 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
165 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
166 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
170 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
171 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
176 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
177 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
178 that has a different signature.
180 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
181 #include "sigprocmask.h"
185 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
186 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
187 'long double' as a type exists.

213 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
214 #include "vasprintf.h"
218 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
221 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
223 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
224 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
225 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
227 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

229 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
231 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
234 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
235 iconv_string -> str_iconv
236 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
239 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
240 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
241 carray-list You can pass NULL.
249 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
250 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

257 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
258 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,

266 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
267 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
269 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
270 using the "des" module directly.
272 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
273 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
274 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.

278 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
283 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
290 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
