+
+ putenv: indent #definition of "environ" to placate cppi
+ * lib/putenv.c (environ): Make indentation reflect cpp nesting.
+
+ gitlog-to-changelog: provide a ChangeLog-repair mechanism
+ Git logs are often treated as immutable, because editing them
+ changes the SHA1 checksums of all descendants. Thus, errors in
+ git logs tend to stay there forever. However, when we generate
+ a ChangeLog file -- typically for distribution -- from that git log,
+ we can actually make corrections in the generated file. The key
+ lies in recording in machine-readable/applicable form the desired
+ corrections. See --help for description and an example.
+ * build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog (parse_amend_file): New function.
+ (usage): Describe it; alphabetize option descriptions.
+ (main): Honor the new option, carefully.

+2011-11-01 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ * MODULES.html.sh: Fix sed-script shell quoting and locale issues.
+ (func_module): Replace foo=` ... sed -e COMPLICATED ... ` with
+ bar=COMPLICATED; foo=` ... sed -e "$bar" ... ` when COMPLICATED
+ contains (possibly-quoted) backslashes. This should avoid
+ all-too-common shell bugs if COMPLICATED contains backslashes in
+ the "wrong" places. Reported by David Evans in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-11/msg00013.html>.
+ When 'sed' uses character ranges like A-Z, invoke it in the C locale,
+ because we want ASCII ranges. Is there some reason we don't use
+ the C locale everywhere in this script?
+ (func_module, top level): Avoid unwanted pathname expansion when
+ $repo_url_prefix or $repo_url_suffix_repl contain shell
+ metacharacters like '?' and '*'.

+
+ stdalign: port better to MSVC and to Sun C 5.11
+ This fixes some of the problems reported by Bruno Haible in
+ <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-10/msg00300.html>.
+ * doc/posix-headers/stdalign.texi (stdalign.h): Document more
+ shortcomings of MSVC and of Sun C 5.11.
+ * lib/stdalign.in.h (_Alignas): Omit bogus extra parenthesis
+ around __declspec arg.
+ * modules/stdalign-tests (Files): Add tests/macros.h.
+ * tests/test-stdalign.c: Do not include <stdlib.h>; no longer needed.
+ Include macros.h, for ASSERT.
+ (DECLARE_ALIGNED): Remove.
+ (TEST_ALIGNMENT): Define to 16 if alignment is supported (more likely
+ to catch bug), and to 1 if not (simplifies the rest of the code).
+ (CHECK_STATIC): Always declare the alignment test vars; that's simpler.
+ (CHECK_AUTO): Remove.
+ (CHECK_ALIGNED): Check only the alignment of the static vars,
+ since auto var alignment isn't supported by Sun C 5.11.
+ (CHECK_TYPES): Remove. All uses replaced by inline code, so that
+ ASSERT failures are easier to diagnose.
+
+2011-10-31 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>

+
+2011-10-31 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
+
+ gitlog-to-changelog: fix git-log invocation.
+ git-log mishandles date strings before 1970-01-01 UTC, and there is
+ no use to specify --since=1970-01-01 by default anyway.
+ * build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: By default, when no --since option
+ was given, do not specify explicit --since option to git-log.
+
+2011-10-30 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
+
+ gitlog-to-changelog: new option --append-dot.
+ * build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: New option --append-dot, makes the
+ first non-blank line of each commit message terminated with a dot.
+
+2011-10-30 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
+
+ ffsl, ffsll: Avoid compilation error due to 'restrict'.

+
+2011-10-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ GNUmakefile: reenable "make syntax-check" for most projects
+ Since Friday's commit 05e2d798, "maint.mk: don't maintain a second
+ build-aux variable", "syntax-check" would do nothing but succeed with
+ the "No version control files detected..." diagnostic (unless you
+ happened to override _build-aux via cfg.mk).
+ * top/GNUmakefile (_autoreconf, _build-aux): Move default definitions
+ to precede inclusion of maint.mk. Otherwise, these variables would
+ be used undefined in any project that does not override the default.
+
+2011-10-29 Dmitry V. Levin <ldv@altlinux.org>
+
+ gitlog-to-changelog: treat a message with only blank lines as empty.
+ * build-aux/gitlog-to-changelog: Move the code that removes leading and
+ trailing blank lines before the code that issues a warning about an
+ empty commit message.
+
+2011-10-30 Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>
+
+ test-parse-datetime.c: avoid new DST-related false positive test failure
+ * tests/test-parse-datetime.c (gmt_offset): Determine the "gmt_offset"
+ based on the time/date we'll convert, not the current time.
+ Otherwise, the moment we cross a DST boundary like today's in
+ Europe, (CEST to CET), that offset ends up being one hour off.
+

+
+ fstat: Tweak documentation.
+ * modules/fstat (Description): More precise description.
+
+2011-10-27 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org>
+
+ Update documentation regarding 'largefile' module.
+ * doc/posix-functions/fstat.texi: Tweak wording.
+ * doc/posix-functions/opendir.texi: Mention that the module fixes the
+ problems with huge directories and/or small ino_t types.
+ * doc/posix-functions/readdir.texi: Likewise.
+ * doc/posix-functions/rewinddir.texi: Likewise.
+
+2011-10-28 Gary V. Vaughan <gary@gnu.org>
+
+ maint.mk: don't maintain a second build-aux variable.
+ * maint.mk (build_aux): Removed. The maintainer-makefile module
+ depends on GNUmakefile, which already maintains a cfg.mk
+ overridable $(_build-aux) for projects with a non-standard
+ build-aux directory location, although without the $(srcdir)
+ prefix. Use that variable consistently instead of introducing a
+ second one. Adjust all call sites.
+
+2011-10-27 Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu>
+
+ Add stdalign module and use it in other modules.
+ This is based on a previous proposal by Bruno Haible
+ <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2011-07/msg00226.html>.
+
+ stdalign: new module
+ * doc/posix-headers/stdalign.texi, lib/stdalign.in.h, m4/stdalign.m4:
+ * modules/stdalign: New files.
+ * MODULES.html.sh (c1x_core_properties): Add stdalign.
+ * doc/gnulib.texi (Header File Substitutes): Add stdalign.
+
+ stdalign-tests: new module
+ * modules/stdalign-tests, tests/test-stdalign.c: New files.
+
+ argp: use stdalign
+ * lib/argp-parse.c: Include <stdalign.h>.
+ (alignof): Remove.
+ * modules/argp (Depends-on): Add stdalign.
+
+ crypto libraries: use stdalign
+ * lib/md4.c, lib/md5.c, lib/sha1.c, lib/sha256.c, lib/sha512.c:
+ Include <stdalign.h> and <stdint.h>. Do not include <stddef.h>.
+ Do not include <stdlib.h> twice, in md4.c.
+ (UNALIGNED_P): Simplify by using alignof. Use uintptr_t, not size_t,
+ because we are accessing a pointer's bit-pattern, not a size.
+ * modules/crypto/gc-md4 (Depends-on): Add stdalign.
+ * modules/crypto/gc-md5, modules/crypto/gc-sha1, modules/crypto/md4:
+ * modules/crypto/md5, modules/crypto/sha1, modules/crypto/sha256:
+ * modules/crypto/sha512: Likewise.
+
+ sys_socket: use stdalign, not alignof
+ * lib/sys_socket.in.h: Include <stdalign.h> instead of <alignof.h>.
+ * modules/sys_socket (Depends-on): Depend on stdalign, not alignof.
