9 2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with
12 2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with
15 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with
18 2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
19 The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
22 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
23 rather than only defined to 1.
25 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
26 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
27 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
28 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
29 include <unistd.h>. For all other
30 functions provided by this module,
31 continue to include "openat.h".
33 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
34 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
37 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
38 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
40 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
41 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
42 "long options" and "options with optional
43 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
45 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
48 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
49 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
50 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
51 The calling convention of the functions
52 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
54 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
55 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
56 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
57 The calling convention of the functions
58 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
60 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
61 The maint.mk file was copied from
62 coreutils, and the old
63 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
64 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
65 this will add several new checks. If some
66 new check is annoying, add the name of the
67 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
70 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
72 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
74 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
76 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
78 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
79 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
80 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
84 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
87 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
88 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
90 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
91 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
93 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
94 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
95 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
96 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
97 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
98 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
100 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
103 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
106 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
109 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
111 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
113 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
116 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
119 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
122 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
125 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
128 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
131 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
132 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
133 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
134 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
135 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
137 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
138 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
139 socket descriptors are now compatible with
140 file descriptors. In general, this change
141 will simply improve your code's portability
142 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
143 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
144 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
145 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
146 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
147 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
149 This change does not remove the need to call
150 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
151 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
152 when you include the sys_socket module; while
153 the functionality will be restored soon, for
154 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
155 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
157 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
159 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
160 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
161 equivalent function, use function
162 xconcatenated_filename from module
165 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
166 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
167 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
168 You may need to create a symbolic link for
169 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
170 installed in $prefix/lib.
172 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
175 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
176 to "glthread/lock.h".
177 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
180 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
181 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
182 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
184 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
185 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
186 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
187 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
189 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
190 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
191 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
192 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
194 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
195 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
196 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
197 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
198 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
200 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
202 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
205 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
208 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
209 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
211 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
212 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
213 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
214 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
216 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
217 implementations; clients that use controlled
218 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
219 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
220 module instead for smaller code size.
222 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
223 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
224 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
225 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
226 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
228 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
229 implementations; clients that use controlled
230 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
231 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
232 module instead for smaller code size.
234 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
235 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
236 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
237 module if you need it.
239 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
242 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
245 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
246 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
247 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
248 module description for the applicable license.
250 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
251 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
252 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
254 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
255 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
256 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
259 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
260 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
261 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
263 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
265 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
266 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
268 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
269 error to standard error; that is now the
270 caller's responsibility. It returns an
271 error code of type enum strtol_error
272 instead of the integer option value, and stores
273 the option value via a new int * argument.
274 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
275 are now an option name and option argument
276 instead of an option argument and a type string,
277 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
279 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
281 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
282 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
284 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
287 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
288 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
290 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
293 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
294 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
298 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
299 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
304 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
305 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
306 that has a different signature.
308 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
309 #include "sigprocmask.h"
313 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
314 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
315 'long double' as a type exists.
317 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
318 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

341 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
342 #include "vasprintf.h"
346 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
349 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
351 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
352 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
353 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
355 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

357 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
359 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
362 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
363 iconv_string -> str_iconv
364 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
367 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
368 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
369 carray-list You can pass NULL.
377 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
378 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
382 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
385 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
386 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
387 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

394 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
395 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
397 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
398 using the "des" module directly.
400 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
401 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
402 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
404 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
405 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
406 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
411 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
418 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
419 # whitespace-check-buffer-indent: nil
