4 User visible incompatible changes
5 ---------------------------------
9 2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
10 rather than only defined to 1.
12 2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
13 For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
14 fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
15 <sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
16 include <unistd.h>. For all other
17 functions provided by this module,
18 continue to include "openat.h".
20 2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
21 now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
24 2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
25 'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
27 2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
28 getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
29 "long options" and "options with optional
30 arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
32 2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
35 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
36 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
37 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
38 The calling convention of the functions
39 u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
41 2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
42 modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
43 modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
44 The calling convention of the functions
45 u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
47 2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
48 The maint.mk file was copied from
49 coreutils, and the old
50 coverage/gettext/indent rules were
51 re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
52 this will add several new checks. If some
53 new check is annoying, add the name of the
54 checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
57 2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
59 2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
61 2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
63 2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
65 2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
66 c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
67 memory, the calling function needs to arrange
71 if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
74 2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
75 need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
77 2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
78 canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
80 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
81 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
82 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
83 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
84 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
85 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
87 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
90 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
93 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
96 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
98 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
100 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
103 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
106 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
109 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
112 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
115 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
118 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
119 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
120 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
121 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
122 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
124 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
125 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
126 socket descriptors are now compatible with
127 file descriptors. In general, this change
128 will simply improve your code's portability
129 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
130 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
131 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
132 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
133 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
134 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
136 This change does not remove the need to call
137 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
138 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
139 when you include the sys_socket module; while
140 the functionality will be restored soon, for
141 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
142 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
144 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
146 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
147 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
148 equivalent function, use function
149 xconcatenated_filename from module
152 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
153 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
154 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
155 You may need to create a symbolic link for
156 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
157 installed in $prefix/lib.
159 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
162 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
163 to "glthread/lock.h".
164 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
167 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
168 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
169 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
171 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
172 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
173 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
174 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
176 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
177 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
178 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
179 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
181 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
182 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
183 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
184 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
185 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
187 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
189 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
192 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
195 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
196 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
198 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
199 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
200 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
201 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
203 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
204 implementations; clients that use controlled
205 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
206 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
207 module instead for smaller code size.
209 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
210 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
211 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
212 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
213 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
215 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
216 implementations; clients that use controlled
217 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
218 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
219 module instead for smaller code size.
221 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
222 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
223 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
224 module if you need it.
226 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
229 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
232 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
233 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
234 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
235 module description for the applicable license.
237 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
238 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
239 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
241 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
242 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
243 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
246 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
247 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
248 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
250 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
252 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
253 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
255 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
256 error to standard error; that is now the
257 caller's responsibility. It returns an
258 error code of type enum strtol_error
259 instead of the integer option value, and stores
260 the option value via a new int * argument.
261 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
262 are now an option name and option argument
263 instead of an option argument and a type string,
264 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
266 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
268 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
269 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
271 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
274 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
275 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
277 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
280 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
281 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
285 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
286 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
291 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
292 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
293 that has a different signature.
295 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
296 #include "sigprocmask.h"
300 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
301 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
302 'long double' as a type exists.
304 2007-04-01 arcfour Renamed to crypto/arcfour.
305 arctwo Renamed to crypto/arctwo.

325 rijndael Renamed to crypto/rijndael.
326 sha1 Renamed to crypto/sha1.
328 2007-03-27 vasprintf The module now depends on stdio, so replace
329 #include "vasprintf.h"
333 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
336 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"
338 utf8-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from
339 "utf8-ucs4-unsafe.h" to "unistr.h".
340 utf16-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf16-ucs4.h"
342 utf16-ucs4-unsafe The include file is changed from

344 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
346 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
349 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
350 iconv_string -> str_iconv
351 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
354 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
355 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
356 carray-list You can pass NULL.
364 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
365 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.
369 2007-03-12 des The types and functions in lib/des.h have been
372 des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
373 des_is_weak_key -> gl_des_is_weak_key,
374 des_setkey -> gl_des_setkey,

380 tripledes_set3keys -> gl_3des_set3keys,
381 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
382 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
384 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
385 using the "des" module directly.
387 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
388 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
389 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
391 2007-02-18 exit The modules now depend on stdlib, so replace
392 mkdtemp #include "exit.h"
393 mkstemp #include "mkdtemp.h"
398 2007-01-26 strdup The module now depends on string, so replace
405 # indent-tabs-mode: nil
406 # whitespace-check-buffer-indent: nil
