Important notes
---------------
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
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>.
2009-04-26 modules/uniconv/u8-conv-from-enc
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>.
2008-04-28 inet_pton The include file is changed from "inet_pton.h"
to <arpa/inet.h>.
2008-03-06 freadahead The return value's computation has changed. It
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.
Function renamed: mreadlink_with_size ->
areadlink_with_size.
2007-08-22 getdelim, getline
The include file is changed from "getdelim.h"
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
gnulib-tool --local-dir to override this.
2007-07-07 wcwidth The include file is changed from "wcwidth.h" to
<wchar.h>.
2007-07-02 gpl, lgpl Renamed to gpl-2.0 and lgpl-2.1 respectively.
(There is also a new module gpl-3.0.)
2007-06-16 lchown The include file is changed from "lchown.h" to
<unistd.h>.
2007-06-09 xallocsa Renamed to xmalloca. The include file "xallocsa.h"
was remamed to "xmalloca.h". The function was
renamed:
xallocsa -> xmalloca
2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
was remamed 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.
You can replace all its uses with 1, i.e. assume
'long double' as a type exists.
