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

  44                             <strings.h>.
  45
  46 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  47                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  48                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  49                             module description for the applicable license.
  50
  51 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  52                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  53                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  54
  55 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  56                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
  57                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
  58                             areadlink_with_size.
  59
  60 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline

  69 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  70                             error to standard error; that is now the
  71                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  72                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  73                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  74                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  75             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  76                             are now an option name and option argument
  77                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  78                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
