   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2008-01-14  strcasestr      This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  10                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  11                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  12                             efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
  13                             module instead for smaller code size.
  14
  15 2008-01-09  alloca-opt      Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
  16                             supplies an <alloca.h>.  Gnulib-using code is now
  17                             expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
  18                             Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
  19                             <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
  20
  21 2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  22                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  23                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  24                             efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
  25                             module instead for smaller code size.
  26
  27 2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
  28                             <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
  29                             longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
  30                             module if you need it.
  31
  32 2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
  33                             to <unistd.h>.
  34
  35 2007-12-03  strcase         The include file is changed from <string.h> to
  36                             <strings.h>.
  37
  38 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  39                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  40                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  41                             module description for the applicable license.
  42
  43 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  44                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  45                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  46
  47 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  48                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
  49                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
  50                             areadlink_with_size.
  51
  52 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
  53                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
  54                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

  60
  61 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  62                             error to standard error; that is now the
  63                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  64                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  65                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  66                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  67             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  68                             are now an option name and option argument
  69                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  70                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
  71
  72 2007-07-14  gpl, lgpl       New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
  73
  74 2007-07-10  version-etc     Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+.  Use

  76
  77 2007-07-07  wcwidth         The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
  78                             <wchar.h>.

  95                               freesa -> freea
  96
  97 2007-05-20  utimens         Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
  98                             conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
  99                             that has a different signature.
 100
 101 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
