+2011-11-18  hash            This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
+                            using gcc's "deprecated" attribute.  Use the better-

+2011-11-04  openat          This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
+                            function. If you need this function, you now need
+                            to request the 'mkdirat' module.
+
+2011-11-04  openat          This module no longer provides the fstatat()
+                            function. If you need this function, you now need
+                            to request the 'fstatat' module.
+
+2011-11-03  openat          This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
+                            function. If you need this function, you now need
+                            to request the 'unlinkat' module.
+
+2011-11-02  openat          This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
+                            function. If you need this function, you now need
+                            to request the 'fchmodat' module.
+
+2011-11-01  alignof         This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
+                            Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
+
+2011-11-01  openat          This module no longer provides the fchownat()
+                            function. If you need this function, you now need
+                            to request the 'fchownat' module.
+
+2011-10-03  poll            The link requirements of this module are changed
+                            from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
+

+                            function. If you need this function, you now need
+                            to request the 'fstat' module.
+
+2011-09-23  signal          This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
+
+2011-09-22  select          The link requirements of this module are changed
+                            from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
+
+2011-09-12  fchdir          This module no longer overrides the functions
+                            opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
+                            'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
+                            If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
+                            If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
+
+2011-08-04  pathmax         The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
+                            PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
+                            listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
+                            portable to GNU/Hurd.
+
+2011-07-24  close           This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
+                            If your code creates a socket descriptor using
+                            socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
+                            to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
+                            stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
+
+2011-07-12  arg-nonnull     Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
+            c++defs         Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
+            link-warning    Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
+            unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
+            warn-on-use     Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
+
+2011-06-15  verify          verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
+                            verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
+
+2011-06-05  ansi-c++-opt    When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
+                            is now set to "no", not to ":".
+
+2011-05-11  group-member    The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
+                            to <unistd.h>.
+
+2011-05-02  exit            The module is removed.  It was deprecated
+                            on 2010-03-05.  Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
+
+2011-04-27  mgetgroups      The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
+                            a new 'xgetgroups' module.
+
+2011-04-27  save-cwd        This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
+                            default; to retain robust handling of directories
+                            with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
+                            must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
+
 2011-04-19  close-hook      This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
                             generalized.
