   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  10                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  11                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  12                             module description for the applicable license.
  13
  14 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  15                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  16                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  17
  18 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  19                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.

  21                             areadlink_with_size.
  22
  23 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
  24                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
  25                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

  28
  29 2007-08-10  xstrtol         The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
  30                             Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
  31
  32 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  33                             error to standard error; that is now the
  34                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  35                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  36                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  37                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  38             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  39                             are now an option name and option argument
  40                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  41                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.

  70                             that has a different signature.
  71
  72 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
