4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
11 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
13 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
16 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
19 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
22 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
25 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
28 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
31 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
32 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
33 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
34 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
35 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
37 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
38 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
39 socket descriptors are now compatible with
40 file descriptors. In general, this change
41 will simply improve your code's portability
42 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
43 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
44 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
45 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
46 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
47 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
49 This change does not remove the need to call
50 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
51 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
52 when you include the sys_socket module; while
53 the functionality will be restored soon, for
54 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
55 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
57 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
59 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
60 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
61 equivalent function, use function
62 xconcatenated_filename from module
65 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
66 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
67 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
68 You may need to create a symbolic link for
69 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
70 installed in $prefix/lib.
72 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
75 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
77 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
80 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
81 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
82 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
84 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
86 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
89 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
90 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
91 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
92 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
94 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
95 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
96 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
97 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
98 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
100 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
102 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
105 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
108 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
109 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
111 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
112 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
113 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
114 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
116 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
117 implementations; clients that use controlled
118 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
119 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
120 module instead for smaller code size.
122 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
123 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
124 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
125 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
126 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
128 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
129 implementations; clients that use controlled
130 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
131 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
132 module instead for smaller code size.
134 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
135 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
136 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
137 module if you need it.
139 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
142 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
145 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
146 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
147 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
148 module description for the applicable license.
150 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
151 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
152 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
154 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
155 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
156 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
159 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
160 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
161 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
163 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
165 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
166 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
168 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
169 error to standard error; that is now the
170 caller's responsibility. It returns an
171 error code of type enum strtol_error
172 instead of the integer option value, and stores
173 the option value via a new int * argument.
174 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
175 are now an option name and option argument
176 instead of an option argument and a type string,
177 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
179 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
181 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
182 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
184 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
187 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
188 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
190 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
193 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
194 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
198 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
199 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
204 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
205 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
206 that has a different signature.
208 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
209 #include "sigprocmask.h"
213 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
214 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
215 'long double' as a type exists.

242 #include "vasprintf.h"
246 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
249 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
251 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
252 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
253 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"

257 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
259 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
262 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
263 iconv_string -> str_iconv
264 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
267 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
268 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
269 carray-list You can pass NULL.
277 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
278 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
282 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
285 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
286 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,

294 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
295 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
297 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
298 using the "des" module directly.
300 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
301 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
302 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
