   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2008-04-28  rpmatch         The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
  10
  11 2008-03-06  freadahead      The return value's computation has changed. It
  12                             now increases by 1 after ungetc.
  13
  14 2008-01-26  isnan-nolibm    The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
  15                             isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
  16                             "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
  17                             defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
  18
  19 2008-01-14  strcasestr      This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  20                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  21                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  22                             efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
  23                             module instead for smaller code size.
  24
  25 2008-01-09  alloca-opt      Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
  26                             supplies an <alloca.h>.  Gnulib-using code is now
  27                             expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
  28                             Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
  29                             <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
  30
  31 2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  32                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  33                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  34                             efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
  35                             module instead for smaller code size.
  36
  37 2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
  38                             <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
  39                             longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
  40                             module if you need it.
  41
  42 2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"

  46                             <strings.h>.
  47
  48 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  49                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  50                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  51                             module description for the applicable license.
  52
  53 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  54                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  55                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  56
  57 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  58                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
  59                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
  60                             areadlink_with_size.
  61
  62 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline

  71 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  72                             error to standard error; that is now the
  73                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  74                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  75                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  76                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  77             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  78                             are now an option name and option argument
  79                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  80                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.

  83
  84 2007-07-10  version-etc     Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+.  Use

 106
 107 2007-05-20  utimens         Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
 108                             conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
 109                             that has a different signature.
 110
 111 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
