   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  10                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  11                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  12                             efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
  13                             module instead for smaller code size.
  14
  15 2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
  16                             <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
  17                             longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
  18                             module if you need it.
  19
  20 2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
  21                             to <unistd.h>.
  22
  23 2007-12-03  strcase         The include file is changed from <string.h> to
  24                             <strings.h>.
  25
  26 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  27                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  28                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  29                             module description for the applicable license.
  30
  31 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  32                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  33                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  34
  35 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  36                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
  37                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
  38                             areadlink_with_size.
  39
  40 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
  41                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
  42                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

  48
  49 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  50                             error to standard error; that is now the
  51                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  52                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  53                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  54                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  55             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  56                             are now an option name and option argument
  57                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  58                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.

  66                             <wchar.h>.

  83                               freesa -> freea
  84
  85 2007-05-20  utimens         Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
  86                             conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
  87                             that has a different signature.
  88
  89 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
