   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2008-01-26  isnan-nolibm    The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
  10                             isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
  11                             "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
  12                             defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
  13
  14 2008-01-14  strcasestr      This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  15                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  16                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  17                             efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
  18                             module instead for smaller code size.
  19
  20 2008-01-09  alloca-opt      Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
  21                             supplies an <alloca.h>.  Gnulib-using code is now
  22                             expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
  23                             Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
  24                             <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
  25
  26 2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  27                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  28                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  29                             efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
  30                             module instead for smaller code size.
  31
  32 2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
  33                             <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
  34                             longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
  35                             module if you need it.
  36
  37 2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
  38                             to <unistd.h>.
  39
  40 2007-12-03  strcase         The include file is changed from <string.h> to
  41                             <strings.h>.
  42
  43 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  44                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  45                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  46                             module description for the applicable license.
  47
  48 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  49                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  50                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  51
  52 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  53                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
  54                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
  55                             areadlink_with_size.
  56
  57 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
  58                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
  59                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

  65
  66 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  67                             error to standard error; that is now the
  68                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  69                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  70                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  71                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  72             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  73                             are now an option name and option argument
  74                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  75                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
  76
  77 2007-07-14  gpl, lgpl       New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
  78
  79 2007-07-10  version-etc     Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+.  Use

  81
  82 2007-07-07  wcwidth         The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
  83                             <wchar.h>.

  89                             <unistd.h>.
  90

  92                             was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
  93                             renamed:
  94                               xallocsa -> xmalloca
  95
  96 2007-06-09  allocsa         Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"

 100                               freesa -> freea
 101
 102 2007-05-20  utimens         Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
 103                             conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
 104                             that has a different signature.
 105
 106 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
