Date Modules Changes
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.

2007-06-09 allocsa Renamed to malloca. The include file "allocsa.h"
was remamed to "malloca.h". The function-like
macros were renamed:
