Please send gengetopt bug reports to bug-gengetopt@gnu.org

Version 2.3

   * --no-handle-help and --no-handle-version option added, so that 
     --help|-h and --version|-V can be explicitly handled (for
      instance for printing a copyright notice, as suggested by 
      Vladimir Tamara <vtamara@gnu.org>). 
   * PURPOSE added to specify in the .ggo file the purpose of the program 
     (thanks to Berthold Höllmann <hoel@germanlloyd.org>).
   * generated print_version and print_help are not static so they can 
     be called also in the program and they are prefixed with the
     name of the generated function, so that more than one parser can be 
     handled. 
   * test the presence of alloca function in standard library 
     (reported by Aldo D. Longhi <aldo.longhi@alum.wpi.edu>). 
   * test suite added (type make check, to run the tests). 

Version 2.2

   * scanner is simplified and now accepts arbitrary character strings
     between, thanks to nbecker@fred.net.
   * It compiles under Sun C compiler 5.1, thanks to Robert Walsh
     <Robert.J.Walsh@eng.sun.com>.
   * VERSION and PACKAGE are generated in cmdline.h instead of cmdline.c,
     thanks to Richard Heggs <richard@virtua-web.co.uk>.
   * #undef's PACKAGE and VERSION before setting them, in case they are
     defined in the .ggo file, thanks to Scott Haug <scott@id3.org>.
   * long options with no associated short options are allowed, thanks to
     damned@world.std.com.
   * fixed no_getopt_long.txt, thanks to Peter Fox
     <fox@roestock.demon.co.uk>

Version 2.1

   * It is made more clear that use of gengetopt does not impose any
     particular license on the generated code.
   * A bug in the generation of code (for some new C++ compilers) was fixed,
     thanks to "James R. Van Zandt" <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
   * Some modifications to the man page, also due to James.
   * a directory for examples is specifically created (suggested by James).

Version 2.0

   * Gengetopt has become GNU software
   * it is conform to GNU coding standards, and so it uses configure script
     generated by Automake and Autoconf
   * it generates separated files: one header file with the struct used to
     store command line options information, and a C file which contains the
     function which actually uses getopt_long to parse the command line
   * 'required' option is now fully implemented
