 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
+            unlink
+
+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
+                            longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
+                            (which should have been internal to the module
+                            anyway).  Also, support for setgid use has been
+                            removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
+                            GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
+                            KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
+                            substituted for.
+
+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.
+
+2011-02-07  wctype          This module is renamed to wctype-h.
+
+2011-01-18  multiarch       This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
+                            instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
+
+2010-12-10  pipe            This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
+                            file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
+
+2010-10-05  getdate         This module is deprecated. Please use the new
+                            parse-datetime module for the replacement
+                            function parse_datetime(), or help us write
+                            getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header
+                            "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h",
+                            and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi.
+
+2010-09-29  sys_wait        This module no longer provides the waitpid()
+                            function. If you need this function, you now need
+                            to request the 'waitpid' module.
+
+2010-09-17  utimens         The function gl_futimens is removed, and its
+                            signature has been migrated to fdutimens.  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".
