 Date        Modules         Changes
 
+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.
+
+2011-03-08  regex-quote     The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
+                            but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
+                            'struct regex_quote_spec'.
+
+2011-02-25  dirname         These modules no longer put #defines for the
+            dirname-lgpl    following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
+            backupfile      FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
+            lstat           FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
+            openat          FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
+            remove          Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
+            rmdir           header dosname.h.
+            savewd
+            stat

 2011-02-14  getloadavg      This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
                             HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
                             to worry about how getloadavg is defined.  It no

+2011-02-08  stdlib          Unless the random_r module is also used, this
+                            module no longer guarantees that the following are
+                            defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
+                            srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
+
 2011-02-08  wctype-h        This module no longer provides the iswblank()
                             function. If you need this function, you now need
                             to request the 'iswblank' module.
