4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
12 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
15 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
18 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
19 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
20 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
21 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
22 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
24 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
25 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
26 socket descriptors are now compatible with
27 file descriptors. In general, this change
28 will simply improve your code's portability
29 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
30 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
31 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
32 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
33 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
34 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
36 This change does not remove the need to call
37 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
38 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
39 when you include the sys_socket module; while
40 the functionality will be restored soon, for
41 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
42 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
44 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
46 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
47 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
48 equivalent function, use function
49 xconcatenated_filename from module
52 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
53 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
54 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
55 You may need to create a symbolic link for
56 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
57 installed in $prefix/lib.
59 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
62 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
64 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
67 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
68 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
69 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
71 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
73 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
76 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
77 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
78 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
79 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
81 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
82 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
83 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
84 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
85 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
87 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
89 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
92 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
95 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
96 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
98 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
99 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
100 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
101 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
103 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
104 implementations; clients that use controlled
105 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
106 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
107 module instead for smaller code size.
109 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
110 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
111 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
112 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
113 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
115 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
116 implementations; clients that use controlled
117 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
118 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
119 module instead for smaller code size.
121 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
122 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
123 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
124 module if you need it.
126 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
129 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
132 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
133 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
134 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
135 module description for the applicable license.
137 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
138 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
139 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
141 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
142 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
143 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
146 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
147 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
148 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
150 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
152 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
153 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
155 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
156 error to standard error; that is now the
157 caller's responsibility. It returns an
158 error code of type enum strtol_error
159 instead of the integer option value, and stores
160 the option value via a new int * argument.
161 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
162 are now an option name and option argument
163 instead of an option argument and a type string,
164 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
166 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
168 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
169 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
171 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
174 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
175 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
177 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
180 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
181 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
185 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
186 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
191 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
192 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
193 that has a different signature.
195 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
196 #include "sigprocmask.h"
200 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
201 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
202 'long double' as a type exists.
204 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
205 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

225 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
226 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
228 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
229 #include "vasprintf.h"
233 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
236 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
238 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
239 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
240 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
242 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
243 "utf16-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
244 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
246 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
249 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
250 iconv_string -> str_iconv
251 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
254 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
255 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
256 carray-list You can pass NULL.
264 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
265 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
269 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
272 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
273 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
274 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

280 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
281 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
282 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
284 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
285 using the "des" module directly.
287 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
288 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
289 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.

292 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
293 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
