Upgrade incompatibilities: notes for developers

from 0.44 to 0.45

No API incompatibilities.

from 0.43 to 0.44

from 0.42 to 0.43

from 0.41 to 0.42

from 0.40 to 0.41

from 0.39 to 0.40

The allreadwrite interface has been changed: allread, allwrite and other looping functions now return an unsigned int, which is the number of processed bytes. If this number is lesser than the number requested, errno will describe what happened. EPIPE on a reading operation means EOF.

The default signal mask when entering a signal handler has been changed from empty to full, but this is saner. If you were relying on the old behaviour, your code was buggy.

from 0.38 to 0.39

No API incompatibilities.

from 0.37 to 0.38

Less functions and more macros in fmtscan.h.

from 0.36 to 0.37

All the *_fmt functions have been replaced by macros. Programs using &uint_fmt, for instance, will not work anymore; the only remaining unsigned format function is uint64_fmt - and its octal and hexadecimal counterparts. Please do not assume that a function defined in fmtscan.h will remain a function; more functions are likely to be replaced by macros in future versions of skalibs.

from 0.35 to 0.36

No API incompatibilities.

from 0.34 to 0.35

from 0.33 to 0.34

No API incompatibilities.

from 0.32 to 0.33

No API incompatibilities.

from 0.31 to 0.32

No API incompatibilities.

from 0.30 to 0.31

No API incompatibilities. The available namespace has been reduced because of name changes in the fmtscan functions; but the "old" names are still working.

from 0.29 to 0.30

No API incompatibilities.

from 0.28 to 0.29

No API incompatibilities.

from 0.27 to 0.28

No API incompatibilities.

from 0.26 to 0.27

No API incompatibilities. Only the packaging has changed.

from 0.25 to 0.26

No API incompatibilities. The internal build order has changed, but you shouldn't be relying on it anyway.

from 0.24 to 0.25

from 0.23 to 0.24

from 0.22 to 0.23

from pre-0.22 to 0.22
