   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2008-01-09  alloca-opt      Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
  10                             supplies an <alloca.h>.  Gnulib-using code is now
  11                             expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
  12                             Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
  13                             <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
  14
  15 2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  16                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  17                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  18                             efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
  19                             module instead for smaller code size.
  20
  21 2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
  22                             <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
  23                             longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
  24                             module if you need it.
  25
  26 2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
  27                             to <unistd.h>.
  28
  29 2007-12-03  strcase         The include file is changed from <string.h> to
  30                             <strings.h>.
  31
  32 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  33                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  34                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  35                             module description for the applicable license.
  36
  37 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  38                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  39                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  40
  41 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  42                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
  43                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
  44                             areadlink_with_size.
  45
  46 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
  47                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
  48                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
  49
  50 2007-08-18  idcache         Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
  51
  52 2007-08-10  xstrtol         The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
  53                             Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
  54
  55 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  56                             error to standard error; that is now the
  57                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  58                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  59                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  60                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  61             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  62                             are now an option name and option argument
  63                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  64                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
  65
  66 2007-07-14  gpl, lgpl       New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
  67
  68 2007-07-10  version-etc     Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+.  Use
  69                             gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
  70
  71 2007-07-07  wcwidth         The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
  72                             <wchar.h>.
  73

  81                             was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
  82                             renamed:
  83                               xallocsa -> xmalloca
  84
  85 2007-06-09  allocsa         Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"

  87                             macros were renamed:
  88                               allocsa -> malloca
  89                               freesa -> freea
  90
  91 2007-05-20  utimens         Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
  92                             conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
  93                             that has a different signature.
  94
  95 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
