4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
11 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
14 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
15 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
16 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
18 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
20 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
23 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
24 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
25 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
26 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
28 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
29 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
30 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
31 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
32 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
34 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
36 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
39 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
42 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
43 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
45 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
46 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
47 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
48 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
50 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
51 implementations; clients that use controlled
52 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
53 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
54 module instead for smaller code size.
56 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
57 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
58 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
59 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
60 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
62 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
63 implementations; clients that use controlled
64 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
65 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
66 module instead for smaller code size.
68 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
69 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
70 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
71 module if you need it.
73 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
76 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
79 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
80 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
81 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
82 module description for the applicable license.
84 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
85 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
86 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
88 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
89 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
90 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
93 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
94 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
95 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
97 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
99 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
100 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
102 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
103 error to standard error; that is now the
104 caller's responsibility. It returns an
105 error code of type enum strtol_error
106 instead of the integer option value, and stores
107 the option value via a new int * argument.
108 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
109 are now an option name and option argument
110 instead of an option argument and a type string,
111 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
113 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
115 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
116 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
118 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
121 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
122 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
124 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
127 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
128 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
132 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
133 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
138 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
139 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
140 that has a different signature.
142 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
143 #include "sigprocmask.h"
147 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
148 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
149 'long double' as a type exists.
151 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
152 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

193 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
196 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:

198 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
201 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
202 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
203 carray-list You can pass NULL.
211 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
212 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

235 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
236 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
