If you want to + augment (not set) the list of modules, use the + new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'. + User visible incompatible changes --------------------------------- Date Modules Changes +2010-10-05 getdate This module is deprecated. Please use the new + parse-datetime module for the replacement + function parse_datetime(), or help us write + getdate-posix for getdate(). Also, the header + "getdate.h" has been renamed "parse-datetime.h", + and doc/getdate.texi to doc/parse-datetime.texi. + +2010-09-29 sys_wait This module no longer provides the waitpid() + function. If you need this function, you now need + to request the 'waitpid' module. + +2010-09-17 utimens The function gl_futimens is removed, and its + signature has been migrated to fdutimens. Callers + of gl_futimens should change function name, and + callers of fdutimens should swap parameter order. + +2010-09-17 fdutimensat This function has a new signature: the fd now comes + first instead of the dir/name pair, and a new + atflag parameter is added at the end. Old code + should rearrange parameters, and pass 0 for atflag. + +2010-09-13 regex The module is not guaranteeing anymore support for + 64-bit regoff_t on 64-bit systems. The size of + regoff_t will always be 32-bit unless the program + is being configured --with-included-regex. This + may change again in the future once glibc provides + this feature as well. + +2010-09-12 savedir The fdsavedir function is now deprecated. + +2010-09-10 fcntl-h This module now defaults O_CLOEXEC to 0, and + it defaults O_EXEC and O_SEARCH to O_RDONLY. + Use "#if O_CLOEXEC" instead of "#ifdef O_CLOEXEC". + +2010-08-28 realloc This module is deprecated. Use 'realloc-gnu' + instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01. + +2010-08-28 calloc This module is deprecated. Use 'calloc-gnu' + instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01. + +2010-08-28 malloc This module is deprecated. Use 'malloc-gnu' + instead. It will be removed 2012-01-01. + +2010-08-14 memxfrm This module is renamed to amemxfrm. The include + file is renamed to "amemxfrm.h". The function is + renamed to amemxfrm. + +2010-08-09 symlinkat This module now only provides symlinkat; use the + new module 'readlinkat' if needed. + +2010-07-31 ansi-c++-opt If Autoconf >= 2.66 is used, the 'configure' + option is now called --disable-c++ rather than + --disable-cxx. + +2010-04-02 maintainer-makefile + The macro _prohibit_regexp has been revamped into + a new macro _sc_search_regexp; custom syntax + checks in your cfg.mk will need to be rewritten. + +2010-03-28 lib-ignore This module now provides a variable + IGNORE_UNUSED_LIBRARIES_CFLAGS that you should + add to LDFLAGS (when linking C programs only) or + CFLAGS yourself. It is no longer added to LDFLAGS + automatically. + +2010-03-18 pty This module now only declares the pty.h header. + Use the new modules 'forkpty' or 'openpty' to + get the functions that were previously provided. + +2010-03-05 exit This module is deprecated, use 'stdlib' directly + instead. It will be removed 2011-01-01. + +2009-12-13 sublist The module does not define functions any more that + call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. Use + module 'xsublist' and include file "gl_xsublist.h" + instead. + +2009-12-13 list The module does not define functions any more that + call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. + Use module 'xlist' and include file "gl_xlist.h" + instead. + +2009-12-13 oset The module does not define functions any more that + call xalloc_die() in out-of-memory situations. + Use module 'xoset' and include file "gl_xoset.h" + instead. + +2009-12-10 * Most source code files have been converted to + indentation by spaces (rather than tabs). Patches + of gnulib source code needs to be updated. + +2009-12-09 link-warning The Makefile rules that use $(LINK_WARNING_H) now + must contain an explicit dependency on + $(LINK_WARNING_H). + +2009-11-12 getgroups These functions now use a signature of gid_t, + getugroups rather than GETGROUPS_T. This probably has no + effect except on very old platforms. + +2009-11-04 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional + 'suffixlen' argument. You can safely pass 0. + +2009-11-04 nproc The num_processors function now takes an argument. + +2009-11-02 inet_pton The use of this module now requires linking with + $(INET_PTON_LIB). + +2009-11-02 inet_ntop The use of this module now requires linking with + $(INET_NTOP_LIB). + 2009-10-10 utimens The use of this module now requires linking with $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME).
