 Date        Modules         Changes
 
+2008-01-09  alloca-opt      Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
+                            supplies an <alloca.h>.  Gnulib-using code is now
+                            expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
+                            Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
+                            <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
+
+2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
+                            implementations; clients that use controlled
+                            needles and thus do not care about worst-case
+                            efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
+                            module instead for smaller code size.
+
+2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
+                            <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
+                            longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
+                            module if you need it.
+
+2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
+                            to <unistd.h>.
+
+2007-12-03  strcase         The include file is changed from <string.h> to
+                            <strings.h>.
+
+2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
+                            GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
+                            A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
+                            module description for the applicable license.
+
+2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
+                            locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
+                            "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
+
+2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
+                            Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
+                            Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
+                            areadlink_with_size.
+
+2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
+                            The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
+                            and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
+
+2007-08-18  idcache         Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
+
+2007-08-10  xstrtol         The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
+                            Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
+
+2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
+                            error to standard error; that is now the
+                            caller's responsibility.  It returns an
+                            error code of type enum strtol_error
+                            instead of the integer option value, and stores
+                            the option value via a new int * argument.
+            xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
+                            are now an option name and option argument
+                            instead of an option argument and a type string,
+                            STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
+
+2007-07-14  gpl, lgpl       New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
+
+2007-07-10  version-etc     Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+.  Use

+                            was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
+                            renamed:
+                              xallocsa -> xmalloca
