   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2008-05-10  linebreak       The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
  10                             The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
  11                             "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
  12                             mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
  13                             mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
  14
  15 2008-04-28  rpmatch         The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
  16
  17 2008-04-28  inet_ntop       The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
  18                             to <arpa/inet.h>.
  19
  20 2008-04-28  inet_pton       The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
  21                             to <arpa/inet.h>.
  22
  23 2008-03-06  freadahead      The return value's computation has changed. It
  24                             now increases by 1 after ungetc.
  25
  26 2008-01-26  isnan-nolibm    The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
  27                             isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
  28                             "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
  29                             defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
  30
  31 2008-01-14  strcasestr      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 strcasestr-simple
  35                             module instead for smaller code size.
  36
  37 2008-01-09  alloca-opt      Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
  38                             supplies an <alloca.h>.  Gnulib-using code is now
  39                             expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
  40                             Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
  41                             <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
  42
  43 2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  44                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  45                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  46                             efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
  47                             module instead for smaller code size.
  48
  49 2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
  50                             <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
  51                             longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
  52                             module if you need it.
  53
  54 2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
  55                             to <unistd.h>.

  58                             <strings.h>.
  59
  60 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  61                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  62                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  63                             module description for the applicable license.
  64
  65 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  66                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  67                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  68
  69 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  70                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
  71                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
  72                             areadlink_with_size.
  73
  74 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
  75                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
  76                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

  82
  83 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  84                             error to standard error; that is now the
  85                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  86                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  87                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  88                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  89             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  90                             are now an option name and option argument
  91                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  92                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
  93
  94 2007-07-14  gpl, lgpl       New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
  95
  96 2007-07-10  version-etc     Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+.  Use

 106                             <unistd.h>.

 109                             was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
 110                             renamed:

 117                               freesa -> freea
 118
 119 2007-05-20  utimens         Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
 120                             conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
 121                             that has a different signature.
 122
 123 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
