4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
10 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
11 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
12 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
13 include <unistd.h>. For all other
14 functions provided by this module,
15 continue to include "openat.h".
17 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
18 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
21 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
22 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
24 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
25 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
26 "long options" and "options with optional
27 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
29 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
32 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
33 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
34 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
35 The calling convention of the functions
36 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
38 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
39 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
40 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
41 The calling convention of the functions
42 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
44 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
45 The maint.mk file was copied from
46 coreutils, and the old
47 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
48 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
49 this will add several new checks. If some
50 new check is annoying, add the name of the
51 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
54 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
56 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
58 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
60 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
62 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
63 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
64 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
68 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
71 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
72 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
74 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
75 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
77 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
78 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
79 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
80 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
81 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
82 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
84 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
87 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
90 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
93 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
95 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
97 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
100 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
103 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
106 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
109 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
112 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
115 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
116 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
117 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
118 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
119 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
121 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
122 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
123 socket descriptors are now compatible with
124 file descriptors. In general, this change
125 will simply improve your code's portability
126 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
127 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
128 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
129 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
130 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
131 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
133 This change does not remove the need to call
134 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
135 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
136 when you include the sys_socket module; while
137 the functionality will be restored soon, for
138 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
139 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
141 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
143 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
144 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
145 equivalent function, use function
146 xconcatenated_filename from module
149 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
150 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
151 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
152 You may need to create a symbolic link for
153 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
154 installed in $prefix/lib.
156 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
159 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
160 to "glthread/lock.h".
161 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
164 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
165 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
166 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
168 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
169 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
170 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
171 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
173 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
174 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
175 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
176 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
178 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
179 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
180 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
181 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
182 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
184 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
186 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
189 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
192 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
193 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
195 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
196 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
197 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
198 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
200 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
201 implementations; clients that use controlled
202 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
203 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
204 module instead for smaller code size.
206 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
207 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
208 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
209 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
210 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
212 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
213 implementations; clients that use controlled
214 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
215 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
216 module instead for smaller code size.
218 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
219 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
220 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
221 module if you need it.
223 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
226 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
229 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
230 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
231 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
232 module description for the applicable license.
234 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
235 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
236 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
238 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
239 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
240 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
243 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
244 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
245 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
247 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
249 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
250 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
252 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
253 error to standard error; that is now the
254 caller's responsibility. It returns an
255 error code of type enum strtol_error
256 instead of the integer option value, and stores
257 the option value via a new int * argument.
258 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
259 are now an option name and option argument
260 instead of an option argument and a type string,
261 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
263 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
265 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
266 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
268 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
271 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
272 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
274 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
277 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
278 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
282 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
283 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
288 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
289 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
290 that has a different signature.
292 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
293 #include "sigprocmask.h"
297 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
298 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
299 'long double' as a type exists.
301 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
302 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

322 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
323 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
325 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
326 #include "vasprintf.h"
330 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
333 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
335 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
336 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
337 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
339 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

341 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
343 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
346 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
347 iconv_string -> str_iconv
348 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
351 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
352 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
353 carray-list You can pass NULL.
361 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
362 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
366 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
369 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
370 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
371 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

377 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
378 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
379 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
381 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
382 using the "des" module directly.
384 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
385 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
386 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
388 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
389 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
390 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
395 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
402 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
403 # whitespace-check-buffer-indent: nil
