   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2008-08-14  lock            The include file is changed from "lock.h"

  13
  14 2008-07-17  c-stack         The module now requires the addition of
  15                             $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
  16                             since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
  17
  18 2008-07-07  isnanf-nolibm   The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
  19                             to "isnanf-nolibm.h".

  21                             to "isnand-nolibm.h".
  22
  23 2008-06-10  execute         The execute function takes an additional termsigp
  24                             argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
  25             wait-process    The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
  26                             termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
  27
  28 2008-05-10  linebreak       The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
  29                             The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
  30                             "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
  31                             mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
  32                             mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
  33
  34 2008-04-28  rpmatch         The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
  35
  36 2008-04-28  inet_ntop       The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"

  43                             now increases by 1 after ungetc.
  44
  45 2008-01-26  isnan-nolibm    The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
  46                             isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
  47                             "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
  48                             defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
  49
  50 2008-01-14  strcasestr      This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  51                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  52                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  53                             efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
  54                             module instead for smaller code size.
  55
  56 2008-01-09  alloca-opt      Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
  57                             supplies an <alloca.h>.  Gnulib-using code is now
  58                             expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
  59                             Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
  60                             <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
  61
  62 2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  63                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  64                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  65                             efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
  66                             module instead for smaller code size.
  67
  68 2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
  69                             <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
  70                             longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
  71                             module if you need it.
  72
  73 2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"

  80                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  81                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  82                             module description for the applicable license.
  83
  84 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  85                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  86                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  87
  88 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  89                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
  90                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
  91                             areadlink_with_size.
  92
  93 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
  94                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
  95                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

 102 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
 103                             error to standard error; that is now the
 104                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
 105                             error code of type enum strtol_error
 106                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
 107                             the option value via a new int * argument.
 108             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
 109                             are now an option name and option argument
 110                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
 111                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
 112
