4 2010-09-04 gnulib-tool The option '--import' is no longer cumulative; it
5 now expects the complete list of modules and other
6 options on the command line. If you want to
7 augment (not set) the list of modules, use the
8 new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'.
10 User visible incompatible changes
11 ---------------------------------
15 2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and
16 it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY.
18 2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu'
19 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
21 2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu'
22 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
24 2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu'
25 instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01.
27 2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include
28 file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is
31 2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the
32 new module 'readlinkat' if needed.
34 2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure'
35 option is now called --disable-c++ rather than
38 2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile
39 The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into
40 a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax
41 checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten.
43 2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable
44 IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should
45 add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or
46 CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS
49 2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header.
50 Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to
51 get the functions that were previously provided.
53 2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly
54 instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01.
56 2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that
57 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use
58 module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h"
61 2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that
62 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
63 Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h"
66 2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that
67 call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations.
68 Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h"
71 2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to
72 indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches
73 of gnulib source code needs to be updated.
75 2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now
76 must contain an explicit dependency on
79 2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t,
80 getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no
81 effect except on very old platforms.
83 2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
84 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0.
86 2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument.
88 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
91 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
94 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
97 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
98 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
101 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
102 rather than only defined to 1.
104 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
105 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
106 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
107 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
108 include <unistd.h>. For all other
109 functions provided by this module,
110 continue to include "openat.h".
112 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
113 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
116 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
117 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
119 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
120 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
121 "long options" and "options with optional
122 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
124 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
127 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
128 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
129 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
130 The calling convention of the functions
131 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
133 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
134 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
135 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
136 The calling convention of the functions
137 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
139 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
140 The maint.mk file was copied from
141 coreutils, and the old
142 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
143 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
144 this will add several new checks. If some
145 new check is annoying, add the name of the
146 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
149 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
151 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
153 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
155 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
157 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
158 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
159 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
162 val = c_strtod (...);
163 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
166 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
167 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
169 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
170 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
172 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
173 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
174 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
175 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
176 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
177 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
179 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
182 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
185 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
188 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
190 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
192 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
195 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
198 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
201 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
204 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
207 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
210 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
211 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
212 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
213 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
214 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
216 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
217 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
218 socket descriptors are now compatible with
219 file descriptors. In general, this change
220 will simply improve your code's portability
221 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
222 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
223 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
224 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
225 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
226 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
228 This change does not remove the need to call
229 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
230 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
231 when you include the sys_socket module; while
232 the functionality will be restored soon, for
233 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
234 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
236 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
238 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
239 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
240 equivalent function, use function
241 xconcatenated_filename from module
244 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
245 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
246 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
247 You may need to create a symbolic link for
248 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
249 installed in $prefix/lib.
251 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
254 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
255 to "glthread/lock.h".
256 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
259 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
260 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
261 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
263 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
264 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
265 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
266 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
268 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
269 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
270 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
271 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
273 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
274 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
275 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
276 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
277 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
279 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
281 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
284 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
287 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
288 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
290 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
291 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
292 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
293 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
295 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
296 implementations; clients that use controlled
297 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
298 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
299 module instead for smaller code size.
301 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
302 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
303 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
304 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
305 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
307 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
308 implementations; clients that use controlled
309 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
310 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
311 module instead for smaller code size.
313 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
314 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
315 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
316 module if you need it.
318 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
321 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
324 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
325 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
326 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
327 module description for the applicable license.
329 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
330 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
331 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
333 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
334 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
335 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
338 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
339 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
340 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
342 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
344 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
345 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
347 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
348 error to standard error; that is now the
349 caller's responsibility. It returns an
350 error code of type enum strtol_error
351 instead of the integer option value, and stores
352 the option value via a new int * argument.
353 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
354 are now an option name and option argument
355 instead of an option argument and a type string,
356 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
358 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
360 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
361 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
363 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
366 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
367 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
369 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
372 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
373 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
377 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
378 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
383 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
384 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
385 that has a different signature.
387 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
388 #include "sigprocmask.h"
392 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
393 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
394 'long double' as a type exists.
396 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
397 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.
398 des Renamed to crypto/des.

417 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
418 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
420 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
421 #include "vasprintf.h"
425 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
428 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
430 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
431 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
432 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

436 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
438 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
441 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
442 iconv_string -> str_iconv
443 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
446 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
447 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
448 carray-list You can pass NULL.
456 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
457 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
461 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
464 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
465 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
466 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,
467 des_makekey -> gl_des_makekey,

473 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
474 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
476 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
477 using the "des" module directly.
479 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
480 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
481 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
483 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
484 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
485 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
490 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
497 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
498 # whitespace-check-buffer-indent: nil
