  13
  14 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  15                             error to standard error; that is now the
  16                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  17                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  18                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  19                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  20             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  21                             are now an option name and option argument
  22                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  23                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.

  52                             that has a different signature.
  53
  54 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
