Important general notes

-----------------------
|
||
|
||
Date Modules Changes
|
||
|
||
2016-09-05 progname There is now an alternate module 'getprogname'. It
|
||
defines a getprogname() function; use it to obtain
|
||
the name of the current program.
|
||
Recommended use:
|
||
- In a program's main() function, and associated
|
||
usage() and help() functions, use 'progname'.
|
||
- In library code, or more generally any code that
|
||
is not near the main() function, use
|
||
'getprogname'.
|
||
|
||
2013-04-24 gettext If your project uses 'gettextize --intl' it is now
|
||
your responsibility to put -I$(top_builddir)/intl
|
||
into the Makefile.am for gnulib.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
augment (not set) the list of modules, use the
|
||
new option '--add-import' instead of '--import'.
|
||

||
User visible incompatible changes

||
---------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Date Modules Changes
|
||
|
||
2017-02-16 binary-io On MS-DOS and OS/2, set_binary_mode now fails
|
||
on ttys, and sets errno == EINVAL.
|
||
|
||
2017-01-20 parse-datetime The parse_datetime2 function now takes two
|
||
more arguments TZ and TZSTRING, for the
|
||
time zone and its name.
|
||
|
||
2017-01-16 host-cpu-c-abi On ARM platforms, HOST_CPU_C_ABI is now set to
|
||
'arm' or 'armhf' instead of 'armel'.
|
||
|
||
2017-01-15 localeinfo Change case_folded_counterparts's first arg's type
|
||
from wchar_t to wint_t, so it now accepts WEOF.
|
||
|
||
2016-12-17 getlogin The link requirements of these modules are changed
|
||
getlogin_r from empty to $(LIB_GETLOGIN).
|
||
|
||
2016-12-13 dfa Remove DFA_CASE_FOLD flag. Now based on RE_ICASE.
|
||
|
||
2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmblen The function u32_strmblen can now return -1.
|
||
2016-11-17 unistr/u32-strmbtouc The function u32_strmbtouc can now return -1.
|
||
|
||
2016-08-17 stdbool This no longer supports _Bool for C++.
|
||
Programs intended to be portable to C++
|
||
compilers should use plain 'bool' instead.
|
||
|
||
2016-04-12 intprops The following macros were removed:
|
||
TYPE_TWOS_COMPLEMENT TYPE_ONES_COMPLEMENT
|
||
TYPE_SIGNED_MAGNITUDE
|
||
|
||
2015-09-25 c-ctype The following macros were removed:
|
||
C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_DIGITS
|
||
C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_LOWERCASE
|
||
C_CTYPE_CONSECUTIVE_UPPERCASE
|
||
|
||
2015-09-22 savewd SAVEWD_CHDIR_READABLE constant removed.
|
||
|
||
2015-07-24 fprintftime Exported functions' time zone arguments are now of
|
||
strftime type timezone_t (with NULL denoting UTC) instead of
|
||
type int (with nonzero denoting UTC). These
|
||
modules now depend on time_rz.
|
||
|
||
2015-04-24 acl This module no longer defines file_has_acl.
|
||
Use the new file-has-acl module for that.
|
||
Using only the latter module makes for fewer
|
||
link-time dependencies on GNU/Linux.
|
||
|
||
2015-04-15 acl If your project only uses the file_has_acl()
|
||
detection routine, then the requirements are
|
||
potentially reduced by using $LIB_HAS_ACL rather
|
||
than $LIB_ACL.
|
||
|
||
2015-04-03 hash hash_insert0 function removed (deprecated in 2011).
|
||
|
||
2014-10-29 obstack The obstack functions are no longer limited to
|
||
int sizes; size values are now of type size_t.
|
||
This changes both the ABI and the API.
|
||
obstack_blank no longer accepts a negative size to
|
||
shrink the current object; callers must now use
|
||
obstack_blank_fast with a "negative" (actually,
|
||
large positive) size for that.
|
||
|
||
2014-02-23 diffseq The members too_expensive, lo_minimal and hi_minimal
|
||
were removed from public structures, and the
|
||
find_minimal argument was removed from diag
|
||
and compareseq.
|
||
|
||
2014-02-11 savedir The savedir and streamsavedir functions have a
|
||
new argument specifying how to sort the result.
|
||
The fdsavedir function is removed.
|
||
|
||
2013-05-04 gnulib-tool CVS checkout of gnulib are no longer supported.
|
||
|
||
2013-02-08 careadlinkat This module no longer provides the careadlinkatcwd
|
||
function.
|
||
|
||
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;
|
||
instead, use the shell var APPLE_UNIVERSAL_BUILD.
|
||
|
||
2010-12-10 pipe This module is renamed to spawn-pipe. The include
|
||
file is renamed to "spawn-pipe.h".
|
||
|
||
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).
|
||
|
||
2009-09-16 canonicalize-lgpl
|
||
The include file is changed from "canonicalize.h"
|
||
to <stdlib.h>.
|
||
|
||
2009-09-04 link-follow The macro LINK_FOLLOWS_SYMLINK is now tri-state,
|
||
rather than only defined to 1.
|
||
|
||
2009-09-03 openat The include files are standardized to POSIX 2008.
|
||
For openat, include <fcntl.h>; for
|
||
fchmodat, fstatat, and mkdirat, include
|
||
<sys/stat.h>; for fchownat and unlinkat,
|
||
include <unistd.h>. For all other
|
||
functions provided by this module,
|
||
continue to include "openat.h".
|
||
|
||
2009-08-30 striconveh The functions mem_cd_iconveh and str_cd_iconveh
|
||
now take an 'iconveh_t *' argument instead of three
|
||
iconv_t arguments.
|
||
|
||
2009-08-23 tempname The gen_tempname function takes an additional
|
||
'flags' argument. You can safely pass 0.
|
||
|
||
2009-08-12 getopt This module is deprecated. Please choose among
|
||
getopt-posix and getopt-gnu. getopt-gnu provides
|
||
"long options" and "options with optional
|
||
arguments", getopt-posix doesn't.
|
||
|
||
2009-06-25 fpurge The include file is changed from "fpurge.h" to
|
||
<stdio.h>.
|
||
|
||

|
||
modules/uniconv/u16-conv-from-enc
|
||
modules/uniconv/u32-conv-from-enc
|
||
The calling convention of the functions
|
||
u*_conv_from_encoding is changed.
|
||
|
||
2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-to-enc
|
||
modules/uniconv/u16-conv-to-enc
|
||
modules/uniconv/u32-conv-to-enc
|
||
The calling convention of the functions
|
||
u*_conv_to_encoding is changed.
|
||
|
||
2009-04-24 maintainer-makefile
|
||
The maint.mk file was copied from
|
||
coreutils, and the old
|
||
coverage/gettext/indent rules were
|
||
re-added. If you used 'make syntax-check'
|
||
this will add several new checks. If some
|
||
new check is annoying, add the name of the
|
||
checks to 'local-checks-to-skip' in your
|
||
cfg.mk.
|
||
|
||
2009-04-01 visibility Renamed to lib-symbol-visibility.
|
||
|
||
2009-04-01 ld-version-script Renamed to lib-symbol-versions.
|
||
|
||
2009-03-20 close The substituted variable LIB_CLOSE is removed.
|
||
|
||
2009-03-05 filevercmp Move hidden files up in ordering.
|
||
|
||
2009-01-22 c-strtod This function no longer calls xalloc_die(). If
|
||
c-strtold you want to exit the program in case of out-of-
|
||
memory, the calling function needs to arrange
|
||
for it, like this:
|
||
errno = 0;
|
||
val = c_strtod (...);
|
||
if (val == 0 && errno == ENOMEM)
|
||
xalloc_die ();
|
||
|
||
2009-01-17 relocatable-prog In the Makefile.am or Makefile.in, you now also
|
||
need to set RELOCATABLE_STRIP = :.
|
||
|
||
2008-12-22 getaddrinfo When using this module, you now need to link with
|
||
canon-host $(GETADDRINFO_LIB).
|
||
|
||
2008-12-21 mbiter The header files "mbiter.h", "mbuiter.h",
|
||
mbuiter "mbfile.h" can now be included without checking
|
||
mbfile HAVE_MBRTOWC. The macro HAVE_MBRTOWC will no
|
||
longer be defined by these modules in a year. If
|
||
you want to continue to use it, you need to invoke
|
||
AC_FUNC_MBRTOWC yourself.
|
||
|
||
2008-11-11 warnings This module subsumes the file m4/warning.m4 which
|
||
was removed.
|
||
|
||
2008-10-20 lstat The include file is changed from "lstat.h" to
|
||
<sys/stat.h>.
|
||
|
||
2008-10-20 getaddrinfo The include file is changed from "getaddrinfo.h"
|
||
to <netdb.h>.
|
||
|
||
2008-10-19 isnanf The include file is changed from "isnanf.h" to
|
||
<math.h>.
|
||
isnand The include file is changed from "isnand.h" to
|
||
<math.h>.
|
||
isnanl The include file is changed from "isnanl.h" to
|
||
<math.h>.
|
||
|
||
2008-10-18 lchmod The include file is changed from "lchmod.h" to
|
||
<sys/stat.h>.
|
||
|
||
2008-10-18 dirfd The include file is changed from "dirfd.h" to
|
||
<dirent.h>.
|
||
|
||
2008-10-18 euidaccess The include file is changed from "euidaccess.h"
|
||
to <unistd.h>.
|
||
|
||
2008-10-18 getdomainname The include file is changed from "getdomainname.h"
|
||
to <unistd.h>.
|
||
|
||
2008-09-28 sockets When using this module, you now need to link with
|
||
$(LIBSOCKET).
|
||
|
||
2008-09-24 sys_select The limitation on 'select', introduced 2008-09-23,
|
||
was removed. sys_select now includes a select
|
||
wrapper for Winsock. The wrapper expects socket
|
||
and file descriptors to be compatible as arranged
|
||
by the sys_socket on MinGW.
|
||
|
||
2008-09-23 sys_socket Under Windows (MinGW), the module now adds
|
||
wrappers around Winsock functions, so that
|
||
socket descriptors are now compatible with
|
||
file descriptors. In general, this change
|
||
will simply improve your code's portability
|
||
between POSIX platforms and Windows. In
|
||
particular, you will be able to use ioctl and
|
||
close instead of ioctlsocket and closesocket,
|
||
and test errno instead of WSAGetLastError ().
|
||
On the other hand, you have to audit your code to
|
||
remove usage of these Winsock-specific functions.
|
||
|
||
This change does not remove the need to call
|
||
the gl_sockets_startup function from the sockets
|
||
gnulib module. Also, for now select is disabled
|
||
when you include the sys_socket module; while
|
||
the functionality will be restored soon, for
|
||
efficiency it is suggested to use the poll system
|
||
poll system call and gnulib module instead.
|
||
|
||
2008-09-13 EOVERFLOW The module is removed. Use module errno instead.
|
||
|
||
2008-09-01 filename The module does not define the function
|
||
concatenated_filename any more. To get an
|
||
equivalent function, use function
|
||
xconcatenated_filename from module
|
||
'xconcat-filename'.
|
||
|
||
2008-08-31 havelib On Solaris, when searching for 64-bit mode
|
||
libraries the directory $prefix/lib is now ignored.
|
||
Instead the directory $prefix/lib/64 is searched.
|
||
You may need to create a symbolic link for
|
||
$prefix/lib/64 if you have 64-bit libraries
|
||
installed in $prefix/lib.
|
||
|
||
2008-08-19 strverscmp The include file is changed from "strverscmp.h"
|
||
to <string.h>.
|
||
|
||
2008-08-14 lock The include file is changed from "lock.h"
|
||
to "glthread/lock.h".
|
||
tls The include file is changed from "tls.h"
|
||
to "glthread/tls.h".
|
||
|
||
2008-07-17 c-stack The module now requires the addition of
|
||
$(LIBCSTACK) or $(LTLIBCSTACK) in Makefile.am,
|
||
since it may depend on linking with libsigsegv.
|
||
|
||
2008-07-07 isnanf-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnanf.h"
|
||
to "isnanf-nolibm.h".
|
||
isnand-nolibm The include file is changed from "isnand.h"
|
||
to "isnand-nolibm.h".
|
||
|
||
2008-06-10 execute The execute function takes an additional termsigp
|
||
argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
|
||
wait-process The wait_subprocess function takes an additional
|
||
termsigp argument. Passing termsigp = NULL is ok.
|
||
|
||
2008-05-10 linebreak The module is split into several modules unilbrk/*.
|
||
The include file is changed from "linebreak.h" to
|
||
"unilbrk.h". Two functions are renamed:
|
||
mbs_possible_linebreaks -> ulc_possible_linebreaks
|
||
mbs_width_linebreaks -> ulc_width_linebreaks
|
||
|
||
2008-04-28 rpmatch The include file is now <stdlib.h>.
|
||
|
||
2008-04-28 inet_ntop The include file is changed from "inet_ntop.h"
|
||
to <arpa/inet.h>.
|
||
|

|
||
to <arpa/inet.h>.

|
||
now increases by 1 after ungetc.
|
||
|
||
2008-01-26 isnan-nolibm The module name is changed from isnan-nolibm to
|
||
isnand-nolibm. The include file is changed from
|
||
"isnan.h" to "isnand.h". The function that it
|
||
defines is changed from isnan() to isnand().
|
||
|
||
2008-01-14 strcasestr This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
|
||
implementations; clients that use controlled
|
||
needles and thus do not care about worst-case
|
||
efficiency should use the new strcasestr-simple
|
||
module instead for smaller code size.
|
||
|
||
2008-01-09 alloca-opt Now defines HAVE_ALLOCA_H only when the system
|
||
supplies an <alloca.h>. Gnulib-using code is now
|
||
expected to include <alloca.h> unconditionally.
|
||
Non-gnulib-using code can continue to include
|
||
<alloca.h> only if HAVE_ALLOCA_H is defined.
|
||
|
||
2008-01-08 memmem This module now replaces worst-case inefficient
|
||
implementations; clients that use controlled
|
||
needles and thus do not care about worst-case
|
||
efficiency should use the new memmem-simple
|
||
module instead for smaller code size.
|
||
|
||
2007-12-24 setenv The include file is changed from "setenv.h" to
|
||
<stdlib.h>. Also, the unsetenv function is no
|
||
longer declared in this module; use the 'unsetenv'
|
||
module if you need it.
|
||
|
||
2007-12-03 getpagesize The include file is changed from "getpagesize.h"
|
||
to <unistd.h>.
|
||
|
||
2007-12-03 strcase The include file is changed from <string.h> to
|
||
<strings.h>.
|
||
|
||
2007-10-07 most modules The license for most modules has changed from
|
||
GPLv2+ to GPLv3+, and from LGPLv2+ to LGPLv3+.
|
||
A few modules are still under LGPLv2+; see the
|
||
module description for the applicable license.
|
||
|
||
2007-09-01 linebreak "linebreak.h" no longer declares the functions
|
||
locale_charset, uc_width, u{8,16,32}_width. Use
|
||
"uniwidth.h" to get these functions declared.
|
||
|
||
2007-08-28 areadlink-with-size
|
||
Renamed from mreadlink-with-size.

||
|
||
2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
|
||

|
||
and "getline.h" to the POSIX 200x <stdio.h>.
|
||
|
||
2007-08-18 idcache Now provides prototypes in "idcache.h".
|
||
|
||
2007-08-10 xstrtol The STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR macro is removed.
|
||
Use the new xstrtol_fatal function instead.
|
||
|
||
2007-08-04 human The function human_options no longer reports an
|
||
error to standard error; that is now the
|
||
caller's responsibility. It returns an
|
||
error code of type enum strtol_error
|
||
instead of the integer option value, and stores
|
||
the option value via a new int * argument.
|
||
xstrtol The first two arguments of STRTOL_FATAL_ERROR
|
||
are now an option name and option argument
|
||
instead of an option argument and a type string,
|
||
STRTOL_FAIL_WARN is removed.
|
||
|
||
2007-07-14 gpl, lgpl New Texinfo versions with no sectioning commands.
|
||
|
||
2007-07-10 version-etc Output now mentions GPLv3+, not GPLv2+. Use

||
|
||
2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
|
||
<wchar.h>.
|
||

|
||
renamed:
|
||
xallocsa -> xmalloca
|
||
|
||
2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
|
||
was renamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
|
||
macros were renamed:
|
||
allocsa -> malloca
|
||
freesa -> freea
|
||
|
||
2007-05-20 utimens Renamed futimens to gl_futimens, to avoid
|
||
conflict with the glibc-2.6-introduced function
|
||
that has a different signature.
|
||
|
||
2007-05-01 sigprocmask The module now depends on signal, so replace
|
||
#include "sigprocmask.h"
|
||
with
|
||
#include <signal.h>
|
||
|
||
2007-04-06 gettext The macro HAVE_LONG_DOUBLE is no longer set.

|
||
to "unistr.h".
|
||
|
||
2007-03-19 iconvme The module is removed. Use module striconv instead:
|
||
iconv_string -> str_iconv
|
||
iconv_alloc -> str_cd_iconv (with reversed
|
||
arguments)
|
||
|
||
2007-03-15 list The functions gl_list_create_empty and

|
||
gc-des renamed:
|
||
|
||
des_ctx -> gl_des_ctx, tripledes_ctx -> gl_3des_ctx,
