Callers + of gl_futimens should change function name, and + callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order. + +2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes + first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new + atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code + should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag. + +2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for + 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of + regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program + is being configured --with-included-regex. This + may change again in the future once glibc provides + this feature as well. + +2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated. + +2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and + it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY. + Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC". + +2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated.

The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no + longer be defined by these modules in a year.

The wrapper expects socket + and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged + by the sys_socket on MinGW. + +2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds + wrappers around Winsock functions, so that + socket descriptors are now compatible with + file descriptors. In general, this change + will simply improve your code's portability + between POSIX platforms and Windows. In + particular, you will be able to use ioctl and + close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket, + and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError (). + On the other hand, you have to audit your code to + remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions. + + This change does not remove the need to call + the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets + gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled + when you include the sys_socket module; while + the functionality will be restored soon, for + efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system + poll system call and gnulib module instead. + +2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead. + +2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function + concatenated_filename any more. To get an + equivalent function, use function + xconcatenated_filename from module + 'xconcat-filename'. + +2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode + libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored. + Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched. + You may need to create a symbolic link for + $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries + installed in $prefix/lib. + +2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h" + to . + +2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h" + to "glthread/lock.h". + tls The include file is changed from "tls.h" + to "glthread/tls.h". + +2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of + $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am, + since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv. + +2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" + to "isnanf-nolibm.h". + isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h" + to "isnand-nolibm.h". + +2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp + argument.

Passing termsigp = NULL is ok. + +2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*. + The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to + "unilbrk.h".

The function that it + defines is changed from isnan() to isnand(). + +2008-01-14 strcasestr 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 strcasestr-simple + module instead for smaller code size. + +2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system + supplies an . Gnulib-using code is now + expected to include unconditionally. + Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include + 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 + .
