  15 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  16                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  17                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  18                             module description for the applicable license.

  20 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  21                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  22                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  23
  24 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  25                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.

  38 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  39                             error to standard error; that is now the
  40                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  41                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  42                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  43                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  44             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR

  78 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
