5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
11 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
14 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
15 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
16 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
17 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
19 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
20 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
21 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
22 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
23 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
25 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
27 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
30 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
33 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
34 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
36 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
37 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
38 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
39 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
41 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
42 implementations; clients that use controlled
43 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
44 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
45 module instead for smaller code size.
47 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
48 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
49 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
50 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
51 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
53 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
54 implementations; clients that use controlled
55 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
56 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
57 module instead for smaller code size.
59 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
60 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
61 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
62 module if you need it.
64 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
67 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
70 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
71 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
72 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
73 module description for the applicable license.
75 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
76 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
77 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
79 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
80 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
81 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
84 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
85 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
86 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
88 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
90 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
91 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
93 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
94 error to standard error; that is now the
95 caller's responsibility. It returns an
96 error code of type enum strtol_error
97 instead of the integer option value, and stores
98 the option value via a new int * argument.
99 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
100 are now an option name and option argument
101 instead of an option argument and a type string,
102 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
104 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
106 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
107 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
109 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
112 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
113 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
115 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
118 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
119 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
123 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
124 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
129 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
130 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
131 that has a different signature.
133 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
134 #include "sigprocmask.h"
138 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
139 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
140 'long double' as a type exists.

189 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
192 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
193 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.

226 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
