   7 Date        Modules         Changes
   8
   9 2008-04-28  rpmatch         The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
  10
  11 2008-04-28  inet_ntop       The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
  12                             to <arpa/inet.h>.
  13
  14 2008-04-28  inet_pton       The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
  15                             to <arpa/inet.h>.
  16
  17 2008-03-06  freadahead      The return value's computation has changed. It
  18                             now increases by 1 after ungetc.
  19
  20 2008-01-26  isnan-nolibm    The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
  21                             isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
  22                             "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
  23                             defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
  24
  25 2008-01-14  strcasestr      This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  26                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  27                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  28                             efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
  29                             module instead for smaller code size.
  30
  31 2008-01-09  alloca-opt      Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
  32                             supplies an <alloca.h>.  Gnulib-using code is now
  33                             expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
  34                             Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
  35                             <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
  36
  37 2008-01-08  memmem          This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
  38                             implementations; clients that use controlled
  39                             needles and thus do not care about worst-case
  40                             efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
  41                             module instead for smaller code size.
  42
  43 2007-12-24  setenv          The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
  44                             <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
  45                             longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
  46                             module if you need it.
  47
  48 2007-12-03  getpagesize     The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"

  52                             <strings.h>.
  53
  54 2007-10-07  most modules    The license for most modules has changed from
  55                             GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
  56                             A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
  57                             module description for the applicable license.
  58
  59 2007-09-01  linebreak       "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
  60                             locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
  61                             "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
  62
  63 2007-08-28  areadlink-with-size
  64                             Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
  65                             Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
  66                             areadlink_with_size.
  67
  68 2007-08-22  getdelim, getline
  69                             The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
  70                             and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.

  76
  77 2007-08-04  human           The function human_options no longer reports an
  78                             error to standard error; that is now the
  79                             caller's responsibility.  It returns an
  80                             error code of type enum strtol_error
  81                             instead of the integer option value, and stores
  82                             the option value via a new int * argument.
  83             xstrtol         The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
  84                             are now an option name and option argument
  85                             instead of an option argument and a type string,
  86                             STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.

 112
 113 2007-05-20  utimens         Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
 114                             conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
 115                             that has a different signature.
 116
 117 2007-05-01  sigprocmask     The module now depends on signal, so replace
