+Date Modules Changes
+
+2012-06-27 elisp-comp The module 'elisp-comp' is removed; the script is
+ not independently useful outside of automake.
+
+2012-06-21 gnulib-tool The option --with-tests is now implied by the
+ options --create-testdir, --test,
+ --create-megatestdir, --megatest.
+
+2012-01-07 quotearg In the C locale, the function will no longer use
+ the grave accent character to begin a quoted
+ string (`like this'). It will use apostrophes
+ 'like these' or, in Unicode locales, single quotes
+ ‘like these’. You may want to adjust any error
+ messages that hard code the quoting characters.
+
2010-09-04 gnulib-tool The option '--import' is no longer cumulative; it
now expects the complete list of modules and other
options on the command line. If you want to
Date Modules Changes
+2012-06-26 getopt-posix This module no longer guarantees that option
+ processing is resettable. If your code uses
+ 'optreset' or 'optind = 0;', rewrite it to make
+ only one pass over the argument array.
+
+2012-02-24 streq This module no longer provides the STREQ macro.
+ Use STREQ_OPT instead.
+
+2012-01-10 ignore-value This module no longer provides the ignore_ptr
+ function. It was deprecated a year ago, but existed
+ so briefly before then that it never came into use.
+ Now, the ignore_value function does its job.
+
+2011-11-18 hash This module deprecates the hash_insert0 function
+ using gcc's "deprecated" attribute. Use the better-
+ named hash_insert_if_absent equivalent.
+
+2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the mkdirat()
+ function. If you need this function, you now need
+ to request the 'mkdirat' module.
+
+2011-11-04 openat This module no longer provides the fstatat()
+ function. If you need this function, you now need
+ to request the 'fstatat' module.
+
+2011-11-03 openat This module no longer provides the unlinkat()
+ function. If you need this function, you now need
+ to request the 'unlinkat' module.
+
+2011-11-02 openat This module no longer provides the fchmodat()
+ function. If you need this function, you now need
+ to request the 'fchmodat' module.
+
+2011-11-01 alignof This module no longer provides the alignof() macro.
+ Use either alignof_slot() or alignof_type() instead.
+
+2011-11-01 openat This module no longer provides the fchownat()
+ function. If you need this function, you now need
+ to request the 'fchownat' module.
+
+2011-10-03 poll The link requirements of this module are changed
+ from empty to $(LIB_POLL).
+
+2011-09-25 sys_stat This module no longer provides the fstat()
+ function. If you need this function, you now need
+ to request the 'fstat' module.
+
+2011-09-23 signal This module is renamed to 'signal-h'.
+
+2011-09-22 select The link requirements of this module are changed
+ from $(LIBSOCKET) to $(LIB_SELECT).
+
+2011-09-12 fchdir This module no longer overrides the functions
+ opendir() and closedir(), unless the modules
+ 'opendir' and 'closedir' are in use, respectively.
+ If you use opendir(), please use module 'opendir'.
+ If you use closedir(), please use module 'closedir'.
+
+2011-08-04 pathmax The header file "pathmax.h" no longer defines
+ PATH_MAX on GNU/Hurd. Please use one of the methods
+ listed in pathmax.h to ensure your package is
+ portable to GNU/Hurd.
+
+2011-07-24 close This module no longer pulls in the 'fclose' module.
+ If your code creates a socket descriptor using
+ socket() or accept(), then a FILE stream referring
+ to it using fdopen(), then in order to close this
+ stream, you need the 'fclose' module.
+
+2011-07-12 arg-nonnull Renamed to snippet/arg-nonnull.
+ c++defs Renamed to snippet/c++defs.
+ link-warning Renamed to snippet/link-warning.
+ unused-parameter Renamed to snippet/unused-parameter.
+ warn-on-use Renamed to snippet/warn-on-use.
+
+2011-06-15 verify verify_true (V) is deprecated; please use
+ verify_expr (V, 1) instead.
+
+2011-06-05 ansi-c++-opt When a C++ compiler is not found, the variable CXX
+ is now set to "no", not to ":".
+
+2011-05-11 group-member The include file is changed from "group-member.h"
+ to <unistd.h>.
+
+2011-05-02 exit The module is removed. It was deprecated
+ on 2010-03-05. Use 'stdlib' directly instead.
+
+2011-04-27 mgetgroups The 'xgetgroups' function has been split into
+ a new 'xgetgroups' module.
+
+2011-04-27 save-cwd This module pulls in fewer dependencies by
+ default; to retain robust handling of directories
+ with an absolute name longer than PATH_MAX, you
+ must now explicitly include the 'getcwd' module.
+
+2011-04-19 close-hook This module has been renamed to 'fd-hook' and
+ generalized.
+
+2011-03-08 regex-quote The last argument is no longer an 'int cflags'
+ but instead a pointer to a previously constructed
+ 'struct regex_quote_spec'.
+
+2011-02-25 dirname These modules no longer put #defines for the
+ dirname-lgpl following symbols into <config.h>: ISSLASH,
+ backupfile FILE_SYSTEM_ACCEPTS_DRIVE_LETTER_PREFIX,
+ lstat FILE_SYSTEM_BACKSLASH_IS_FILE_NAME_SEPARATOR,
+ openat FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVE_PREFIX_CAN_BE_RELATIVE.
+ remove Applications that need ISSLASH can include the new
+ rmdir header dosname.h.
+ savewd
+ stat
+ unlink
+
+2011-02-14 getloadavg This module no longer #defines C_GETLOADAVG or
+ HAVE_GETLOADAVG, as the application no longer needs
+ to worry about how getloadavg is defined. It no
+ longer defines the obsolete symbol NLIST_NAME_UNION
+ (which should have been internal to the module
+ anyway). Also, support for setgid use has been
+ removed, as nobody seems to be using it; thus
+ GETLOADAVG_PRIVILEGED is no longer #defined and
+ KMEM_GROUP and NEED_SETGID are no longer
+ substituted for.
+
+2011-02-08 stdlib Unless the random_r module is also used, this
+ module no longer guarantees that the following are
+ defined: struct random_data, RAND_MAX, random_r,
+ srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r.
+
+2011-02-08 wctype-h This module no longer provides the iswblank()
+ function. If you need this function, you now need
+ to request the 'iswblank' module.
+
2011-02-07 wctype This module is renamed to wctype-h.
2011-01-18 multiarch This no longer #defines AA_APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD;
2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
$(LIBSOCKET).

wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
