  20 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  21                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  22                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  23                             module description for the applicable license.
  24
  25 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  26                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  27                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  28
  29 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  30                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.

  42
  43 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  44                             error to standard error; that is now the
  45                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  46                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  47                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  48                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  49             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  50                             are now an option name and option argument
  51                             instead of an option argument and a type string,

  82
  83 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
