4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
10 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
11 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
15 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
18 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
19 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
21 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
22 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
24 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
25 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
26 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
27 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
28 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
29 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
31 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
34 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
37 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
40 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
42 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
44 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
47 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
50 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
53 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
56 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
59 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
62 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
63 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
64 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
65 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
66 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
68 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
69 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
70 socket descriptors are now compatible with
71 file descriptors. In general, this change
72 will simply improve your code's portability
73 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
74 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
75 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
76 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
77 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
78 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
80 This change does not remove the need to call
81 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
82 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
83 when you include the sys_socket module; while
84 the functionality will be restored soon, for
85 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
86 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
88 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
90 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
91 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
92 equivalent function, use function
93 xconcatenated_filename from module
96 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
97 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
98 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
99 You may need to create a symbolic link for
100 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
101 installed in $prefix/lib.
103 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
106 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
107 to "glthread/lock.h".
108 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
111 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
112 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
113 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
115 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
116 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
117 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
118 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
120 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
121 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
122 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
123 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
125 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
126 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
127 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
128 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
129 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
131 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
133 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
136 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
139 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
140 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
142 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
143 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
144 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
145 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
147 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
148 implementations; clients that use controlled
149 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
150 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
151 module instead for smaller code size.
153 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
154 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
155 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
156 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
157 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
159 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
160 implementations; clients that use controlled
161 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
162 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
163 module instead for smaller code size.
165 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
166 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
167 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
168 module if you need it.
170 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
173 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
176 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
177 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
178 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
179 module description for the applicable license.
181 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
182 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
183 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
185 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
186 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
187 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
190 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
191 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
192 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
194 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
196 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
197 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
199 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
200 error to standard error; that is now the
201 caller's responsibility. It returns an
202 error code of type enum strtol_error
203 instead of the integer option value, and stores
204 the option value via a new int * argument.
205 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
206 are now an option name and option argument
207 instead of an option argument and a type string,
208 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
210 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
212 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
213 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
215 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
218 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
219 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
221 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
224 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
225 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
229 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
230 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
235 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
236 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
237 that has a different signature.
239 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
240 #include "sigprocmask.h"
244 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
245 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
246 'long double' as a type exists.
248 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
249 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

288 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
290 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
293 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
294 iconv_string -> str_iconv
295 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
298 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
299 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
300 carray-list You can pass NULL.
308 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
309 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

325 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
326 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
328 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
329 using the "des" module directly.
331 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
332 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
333 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
