5 ---------------------------------
9 2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
10 mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
11 mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
12 longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
13 you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
14 AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
16 2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
19 2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
22 2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
25 2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
27 isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
29 isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
32 2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
35 2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
38 2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
41 2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
44 2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
47 2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on `select', introduced 2008-09-23,
48 was removed. sys_select now includes a select
49 wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
50 and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
51 by the sys_socket on MinGW.
53 2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
54 wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
55 socket descriptors are now compatible with
56 file descriptors. In general, this change
57 will simply improve your code's portability
58 between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
59 particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
60 close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
61 and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
62 On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
63 remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
65 This change does not remove the need to call
66 the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
67 gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
68 when you include the sys_socket module; while
69 the functionality will be restored soon, for
70 efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
71 poll system call and gnulib module instead.
73 2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
75 2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
76 concatenated_filename any more. To get an
77 equivalent function, use function
78 xconcatenated_filename from module
81 2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
82 libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
83 Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
84 You may need to create a symbolic link for
85 $prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
86 installed in $prefix/lib.
88 2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
91 2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
93 tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
96 2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
97 $(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
98 since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
100 2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
101 to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
102 isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
103 to "isnand-nolibm.h".
105 2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
106 argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
107 wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
108 termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
110 2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
111 The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
112 "unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
113 mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
114 mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
116 2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
118 2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
121 2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
124 2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
125 now increases by 1 after ungetc.
127 2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
128 isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
129 "isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
130 defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
132 2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
133 implementations; clients that use controlled
134 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
135 efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
136 module instead for smaller code size.
138 2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
139 supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
140 expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
141 Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
142 <alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
144 2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
145 implementations; clients that use controlled
146 needles and thus do not care about worst-case
147 efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
148 module instead for smaller code size.
150 2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
151 <stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
152 longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
153 module if you need it.
155 2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
158 2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
161 2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
162 GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
163 A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
164 module description for the applicable license.
166 2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
167 locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
168 "uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
170 2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
171 Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.
172 Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
175 2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
176 The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
177 and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
179 2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
181 2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
182 Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
184 2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
185 error to standard error; that is now the
186 caller's responsibility. It returns an
187 error code of type enum strtol_error
188 instead of the integer option value, and stores
189 the option value via a new int * argument.
190 xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
191 are now an option name and option argument
192 instead of an option argument and a type string,
193 STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
195 2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
197 2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use
198 gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
200 2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
203 2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
204 (There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
206 2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
209 2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
210 was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
214 2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
215 was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
220 2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
221 conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
222 that has a different signature.
224 2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
225 #include "sigprocmask.h"
229 2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.
230 You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
231 'long double' as a type exists.

258 #include "vasprintf.h"
262 2007-03-24 tsearch The include file is changed from "tsearch.h" to
265 2007-03-24 utf8-ucs4 The include file is changed from "utf8-ucs4.h"

273 ucs4-utf8 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf8.h"
275 ucs4-utf16 The include file is changed from "ucs4-utf16.h"
278 2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
279 iconv_string -> str_iconv
280 iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
283 2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and
284 array-list gl_list_create now take an extra fourth argument.
285 carray-list You can pass NULL.
293 2007-03-15 oset The function gl_oset_create_empty now takes a
294 array-oset third argument. You can pass NULL.

310 tripledes_makekey -> gl_3des_makekey,
311 tripledes_ecb_crypt -> gl_3des_ecb_crypt.
313 Also consider using the "gc-des" buffer instead of
314 using the "des" module directly.
316 2007-02-28 xreadlink The module xreadlink was renamed to
317 xreadlink-with-size. The function was renamed:
318 xreadlink -> xreadlink_with_size.
