4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
10 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
11 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
14 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
15 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
16 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
18 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
19 must contain an explicit dependency on
22 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
23 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
24 effect except on very old platforms.
26 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
27 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
29 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
31 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
34 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
37 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
40 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
41 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
44 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
45 rather than only defined to 1.
47 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
48 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
49 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
50 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
51 include <unistd.h>. For all other
52 functions provided by this module,
53 continue to include "openat.h".
55 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
56 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
59 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
60 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
62 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
63 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
64 "long options" and "options with optional
65 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
67 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
70 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
71 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
72 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
73 The calling convention of the functions
74 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
76 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
77 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
78 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
79 The calling convention of the functions
80 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
82 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
83 The maint.mk file was copied from
84 coreutils, and the old
85 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
86 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
87 this will add several new checks. If some
88 new check is annoying, add the name of the
89 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
92 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
94 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
96 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
98 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
100 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
101 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
102 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
105 val = c_strtod (...);
106 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
109 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
110 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
112 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
113 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
115 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
116 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
117 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
118 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
119 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
120 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
122 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
125 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
128 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
131 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
133 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
135 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
138 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
141 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
144 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
147 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
150 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
153 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
154 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
155 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
156 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
157 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
159 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
160 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
161 socket descriptors are now compatible with
162 file descriptors. In general, this change
163 will simply improve your code's portability
164 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
165 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
166 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
167 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
168 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
169 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
171 This change does not remove the need to call
172 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
173 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
174 when you include the sys_socket module; while
175 the functionality will be restored soon, for
176 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
177 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
179 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
181 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
182 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
183 equivalent function, use function
184 xconcatenated_filename from module
187 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
188 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
189 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
190 You may need to create a symbolic link for
191 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
192 installed in $prefix/lib.
194 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
197 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
198 to "glthread/lock.h".
199 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
202 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
203 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
204 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
206 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
207 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
208 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
209 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
211 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
212 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
213 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
214 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
216 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
217 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
218 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
219 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
220 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
222 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
224 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
227 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
230 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
231 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
233 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
234 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
235 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
236 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
238 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
239 implementations; clients that use controlled
240 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
241 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
242 module instead for smaller code size.
244 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
245 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
246 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
247 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
248 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
250 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
251 implementations; clients that use controlled
252 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
253 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
254 module instead for smaller code size.
256 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
257 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
258 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
259 module if you need it.
261 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
264 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
267 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
268 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
269 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
270 module description for the applicable license.
272 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
273 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
274 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
276 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
277 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
278 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
281 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
282 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
283 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
285 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
287 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
288 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
290 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
291 error to standard error; that is now the
292 caller's responsibility. It returns an
293 error code of type enum strtol_error
294 instead of the integer option value, and stores
295 the option value via a new int * argument.
296 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
297 are now an option name and option argument
298 instead of an option argument and a type string,
299 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
301 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
303 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
304 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
306 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
309 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
310 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
312 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
315 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
316 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
320 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
321 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
326 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
327 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
328 that has a different signature.
330 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
331 #include "sigprocmask.h"
335 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
336 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
337 'long double' as a type exists.
339 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
340 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.
341 des Renamed to crypto/des.

360 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
361 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
363 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
364 #include "vasprintf.h"
368 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
371 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
373 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
374 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
375 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
377 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
378 "utf16-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
379 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
381 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
384 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
385 iconv_string -> str_iconv
386 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
389 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
390 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
391 carray-list You can pass NULL.
399 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
400 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
404 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
407 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
408 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
409 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,
410 des_makekey -> gl_des_makekey,

415 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
416 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
417 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
419 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
420 using the "des" module directly.
422 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
423 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
424 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
426 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
427 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
428 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
433 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
440 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
441 # whitespace-check-buffer-indent: nil
