gparam.h gvalue.h gparam.c Shut up Sun's picky compiler.

[platform/upstream/glib.git] / ChangeLog

2000-07-19  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, glib.h: glibconfig.h and glib.h now include files
        outside of the extern "C" block. Makes some C++ compiler
        happy. Reported by Denis Vakatov <vakatov@peony.nlm.nih.gov>.

Sat Jul 15 23:49:03 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib/glib.texi: Remove incomplete start of info file -
        real docs are in RDP.   

Sat Jul 15 22:44:22 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Add build/Makefile and 
        build/win32/Makefile to AC_OUTPUT() so things build
        again.

Sat Jul 15 09:11:46 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strncasecmp): fixed an off by 0 error (yeah,
        the function went off when the while (n--) loop failed due to
        n==0 ;), reported by Jean-Louis HAMEL <jlhamel@club-internet.fr>.

2000-07-15  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Include the "build" module in GLib, too,
        to make it more self-contained. If your CVS client doesn't
        automatically get it, do a cvs get build in glib.

        * */makefile.mingw.in: Include make.mingw from build in the glib
        source directory.

Fri Jul 14 16:26:35 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Release 1.3.1

Fri Jul 14 12:22:49 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in Makefile.am glib-config.m4 glib.m4: Move
        glib-config to glib-config-2.0 move glib.m4 to
        glib-2.0.m4

        * Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gmodule/Makefile.am
        gthread/Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Change 
        library names to libglib-1.3.la, etc, so that we
        can distinguish glib-1.2 and glib-2.0 on the linkline.

        * Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gmodule/Makefile.am:
        Move include files into /usr/include/glib-2.0.
        
Thu Jul  6 18:54:49 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * docs/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove info files
        from the build.

2000-07-14  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add g_error functions.

        * makefile.mingw.in: Add gbacktrace.o.

        * gbacktrace.c: No need to include <process.h>.

2000-07-12  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * glib.h: #include <gerror.h>

        * Makefile.am (include_HEADERS): Add gerror.h
        (libglib_la_SOURCES): Add gbacktrace.c

        * gbacktrace.c: Move g_on_error_query() in here (moved on the 
        server, so history is preserved)

        * gerror.h: GError interface

        * gerror.c: GError implementation replaces stuff that's now in 
        gbacktrace.c

Sun Jul  9 21:20:45 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gunicode.h: Include stddef.h instead of stdlib.h

2000-07-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h (GLIB_VAR): Rename the GUTILS_C_VAR macro to GLIB_VAR.

        * gunicode.h: Mark the g_utf8_skip array with GLIB_VAR.

        * glib.def: Add two missing entry points.

Thu Jul  6 15:35:28 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Release 1.3.1

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Dist fixes.

        * configure.in: Moderate the warnings just a little bit.

2000-07-05  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Update.

Mon Jul  3 17:58:02 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gutf8.c (g_utf8_get_charset_internal): Fix up
        to correspond to configure.in checks.

Mon Jul  3 17:18:19 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.h: Comment g_get_codeset() out of the header file
        temporarily. (Very similar to g_get_charset(), need
        to resolve the two.)

2000-07-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add new entry points.

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add the new Unicode object files.

Thu Jun 29 15:57:28 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * NEWS: updated

        * Makefile.am: added snapcheck target to go along with snapshot
        
        * gstring.c glib.h (g_string_hash): Add g_string_hash to 
        go along with g_string_equal.

Tue Jun 27 12:40:23 EDT 2000  David A. Wheeler <dwheeler@dwheeler.com>

        * glib.h: Added g_string_equal for comparing GStrings;
        changed g_str_equal so it returns gboolean (instead of gint).

        * gstring.c: Modified GString implementation to support embedded
        ASCII NUL ('\0') characters, and implemented g_string_equal.

        * testglib.c tests/string-test.c: Added tests for g_string_equal
        and tests for proper handling of embedded ASCII NUL characters.

Wed Jun 28 22:52:00 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Makefile.am (libglib_la_SOURCES): Fix
        gunichartable.h => gunichartables.h. (From Eric Limings)

Fri Jun 23 17:20:26 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: define gstring in terms of gchar*. this typedef reflects
        the type name of the primitive G_TYPE_STRING in the gobject module.

Wed Jun 21 12:09:03 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gunicode.h gutf8.c guniprop.c gunidecomp.[ch] gunichartables.h
        Makefile.am glib.h: Initial pass at adding unicode support
        functions. A few things still need to be implemented, a bit
        of cleanup needs to be done, tests need to be added, and 
        the docs need to be finished, but this should allow replacing
        most or all use of libunicode.

2000-06-06  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * giowin32.c (g_io_channel_win32_pipe_readable): If we are
        watching the same pipe for different conditions (with different
        callbacks), check them all. Only call the callback for G_IO_IN
        from here. (This bug popped up when a watch for G_IO_ERR|G_IO_HUP
        was added to gimplib.)

2000-05-30  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c (g_locale_get_codeset): Implement on Win32.

        * glib.def: Add g_get_codeset.

        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): makefile.cygwin* has been
        renamed to makefile.mingw*.

Tue May 30 16:01:32 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.h gutils.c: Move the g_locale_get_codeset() up in the 
        header file to correspond to to comments about memory
        management. Rename to g_get_codeset() to avoid 
        polluting the g_locale_* namespace, which probably
        would have g_locale_get_codeset (GLocale *locale).
        Add a doc comment.

Mon May 29 14:10:35 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gutils.c (g_locale_get_codeset): Add function to get the 
        codeset name for the current locale.

        * configure.in acconfig.h: Add check for nl_langinfo(CODESET);

Fri May 19 11:39:29 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gutils.c (g_snprintf):
        (g_vsnprintf): added argument assertments.

        * gstring.c (g_string_assign): added argument assertments.
        (g_string_truncate): make len a guint.

Fri May 19 09:00:44 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_free): fixed SIZEOF_LONG==4 assumption with
        ENABLE_MEM_CHECK, from Art Haas <ahaas@neosoft.com>.

        * gslist.c (g_slist_reverse): shut up compiler.

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_get_token_ll): removed inline assignment.

        * garray.c: remove index>=0 checks for unsigned indices.

        * gmain.c (g_idle_prepare): timeout assignment fix.

        * gtree.c (g_tree_node_rotate_right): shut up compiler.

2000-05-13  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.mingw.in
        * tests/makefile.mingw.in
        * build-dll: Rename makefile.cygwin(.in) to
        makefile.mingw(.in), which better describes what it is. Move the
        build of gmodule, gthread and gobject DLLs to makefiles in those
        directories. Move resource file handling and build number bump to
        build-dll, where it sits much cleaner.

        * README.win32
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update accordingly.

        * glib.h: Add G_PI, G_PI_2, G_PI_4, G_E, G_LN2, G_LN10 and
        G_SQRT2. M_PI etc aren't necessarily in <math.h> in strict ISO C
        implementations.

        * glib.def: Add g_strcanon.

        * gtree.c (g_tree_node_rotate_left): Remove unused variables.

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_opendir): Remove unneeded statement.

Thu May  4 02:04:46 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in (STRIP_DUMMY): some Make 3.79 $(strip ) versions are
        broken and require an empty arg, give it to them.

Fri Apr 28 23:54:35 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * setup things for a new sub-library libgobject:

        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): added gobject

        * glib-config.in: feature -lgobject.

        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): generate gobject/Makefile.

        * glib.m4 (AM_PATH_GLIB): feature gobject module.

        * glib.spec.in: added %{prefix}/lib/libgobject-1.3.so.*

Fri Apr 28 21:41:49 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added G_STRLOC macro.
        G_STRUCT_OFFSET(): signedness corrections.
        (G_CSET_DIGITS): list 0-9.
        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_config_template): use G_CSET_DIGITS.

        * glib.h: 
        * gstrfuncs.c:
        (g_strdown):
        (g_strup):
        (g_strreverse): return the modified string instead of void, so
        calls to these functions can be nested.
        (g_strcanon): new function, canonicalizes string according to
        a given character set.

Fri Apr 28 19:45:16 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gasyncqueue.c (g_async_queue_unref): get rid of an unused variable.

Wed May 10 19:52:44 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.m4: Print found version when test succeeds.

2000-05-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in: Include the common makefile snippet
        from ../build/win32.

        Maybe CVSROOT/modules should be changed so that the 'build' module
        is included within the glib module (and gtk+, and gimp, and maybe
        others later), in the same way as the 'macros' module is included
        in lots of GNOME CVS modules?

2000-05-02  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add new functions.

        * makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in (glib_OBJECTS): Add new object files.

        * tests/makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Add threadpool-test.

2000-04-28  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gasyncqueue.c: New File implementing an asynchronous queue to be
        used for asynchronous inter-thread communication.
        
        * gthreadpool.c: New File implementing a thread pool to be used
        for distributing work among several threads. 

        * glib.h: Added the type and function declarations for these two
        types.

        * tests/threadpool-test.c: New File implementing a test for the
        thread pool. This also checks the asynchronous queue underlying
        the thread pool.

        * tests/Makefile.am: Changed accordingly.
        
2000-04-26  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Look for both pthread_create and pthread_join in
        the thread library. Some systems define one of them, but not both
        in libc. Arghh. Now we really start a thread and join it later and
        check, whether the thread to actually ran.

        * glib.h, gcache.c, gtree.c: Changed the 'value' parameter of
        g_cache_remove from gpointer to gconstpointer. Dito for the 'key'
        parameter of g_tree_lookup and g_tree_remove and the 'data'
        parameter of g_tree_search. This function now takes a function of
        type GCompareFunc instead of GSearchFunc. This fixes Bug
        #8267. Thanks to Juan Toledo <toledo@users.sourceforge.net> for
        pointing that out.

        * glib.h: Removed declaration of GSearchFunc.

        * gmem.c: s/GSearchFunc/GCompareFunc/.

2000-04-19  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Update entry point list.

2000-04-19  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h (G_TRYLOCK): Made the debugging G_TRYLOCK call also work
        for compilers with funny G_STMT_(START|END) macros.

        * tests/thread-test.c: Implemented a check for that.

        * gutils.c (g_getenv): Changed the win32 part of this function to
        be thread safe and to make the returned environment string
        persistent to match the UN*X behavior. This is again a response to
        Bug #8983.

        * glib.h (G_LOCK_NAME): Removed parentheses around the lock name,
        as that seems to cause problems for some compilers and really
        isn't necessary.

Wed Apr 19 08:32:32 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_new): make sure that
        scanner->config->cset_skip_characters is "" instead of NULL, so we
        don't segfault further on.

2000-04-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h, glist.h, gslist.h: Changed the 'data' parameters from
        gpointer to gconstpointer for the functions
        g_(list|slist)_(remove|find|find_custom|index), as they do not
        change this parameter. This fixes bug #4836.

        * glib.h: Changed comment for g_getenv to reflect, that the
        returned memory must not be freed. Fixes bug #8983.

2000-04-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, acconfig.h: Add configure test for garbage
        collector friendliness for GLib. If enabled, ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY
        will be defined.

        * garray.c, ghash.c, glist.c, gmain.c, gmem.c, gnode.c, gqueue.c,
        gslist.c, gtree.c: If ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY is defined, NULLify all
        memory released by the user, but cached by GLib. This lets a
        garbage collector have a more correct view of the actually used
        memory.
        
        * garray.c, glib.h: Added g_(array|ptr_array|byte_array)_sized_new
        functions, that reserve a certain amount of memeory for the array
        at creation time to avoid reallocation. Fixes bug #6707 from
        Charles Kerr <ckerr@osserver1.nssl.noaa.gov>.

        * glib.h, gqueue.c, tests/queue-test.c (main): Renamed
        g_queue_create to g_queue_new in conformance to all other GLib
        data types.

2000-04-07  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * grand.c (g_rand_new): Fixed bug. Thanks to Marko Kreen
        <marko@l-t.ee> for reporting that.

2000-03-26  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Tell about using the mingw-based gcc, which is
        much easier than modifying the cygwin gcc to product mingw code
        for the msvcrt runtime.

        * makefile.cygwin.in (WIN32APIHEADERS): Kludge to make it work
        with a "pure" mingw gcc, too.

2000-03-24  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * garray.c: Made GArray behave correctly. Now zero_terminated
        really means, that the element array->data[array->len] exists and
        is zeroed, and clear means that any unassigned elements obtained
        through g_array_set_size (the only way to get unassigned elements
        AFAICT) are zeroed. Added some macros to make the code more
        obvoius. Also made GPtrArray zero elements after
        g_ptr_array_set_size. This is done in a portbale way (assignment
        of NULL instead of just memsetting it to zero), though that might
        be more portability than we actually want.

        * Makefile.am, gthread/Makefile.am, gmodule/Makefile.am,
        tests/Makefile.am: Added various win32 related *.in files to
        EXTRA_DIST to let 'make distcheck' procude all the corresponding
        files, which it silently fails to do currently.

2000-03-23  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: After finding the right thread library (containing
        e.g. pthread_create) we now search for the right realtime library
        (containing e.g. sched_get_priority_max). Makes the output of the
        thread related libraries correct. 

        * gtimer.c (g_usleep): The current implementation of g_usleep
        (simply calling select) doesn't work reliable for multi-threaded
        programs on some platforms (bad omen for the main loop....), so I
        changed the implementation for thread-using programs to wait for a
        GCond for the specified amount of time (NB: sleep and usleep are
        not MT-safe in general, because they often use signals).

Wed Mar 22 16:49:57 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_area_compare): Fix indentation.

2000-03-22 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_area_compare): Fix 64-bitness bug in
        comparing two pointers more than 4G apart.

2000-03-22  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c: Move Win32-only includes after inclusion of glib.h, so
        that G_OS_WIN32 is defined.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Add GSystemThread.

2000-03-22  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): Ok, Marcus Brinkmann
        <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de> convinced me, that 128 KB
        path length might not be enough for the HURD. So I changed the
        loop to at least avoid an integer overflow, which could happen at
        beyond 2GB size ;-)

        * configure.in: Test for sched_yield as the native yield function
        first. Corrected typo g_thread_sleep -> g_usleep. Corrected
        message for the pthread_create test. Negative Priorities are
        allowed (and used on Solaris), so consider
        sched_get_priority_min failed only if it returns -1, not <0. Check
        for sched_get_priority_min also in -lrt, if not found in -lpthread
        alone and add -lrt to G_THREAD_LIBS then. Remove special case
        handling of priorities for older solaris versions and posix
        threads. Thanks to Wan-Teh Chang <wtc@netscape.com> for suggesting
        some of those changes.
        
        * config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig, ltmain.sh:
        Upgrade to libtool 1.3.4.

2000-03-21  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h, configure.in, gutils.h: always define G_GNUC_EXTENSION,
        even when not needed by GLib. That's actually also the way, the
        GLib reference manual describes that macro. Therefore I had to
        remove the lonesome #include <glibconfig.h> in gutils.c, which
        doesn't seem to be needed there however. This change should make
        Ben Gertzfield <che@debian.org> happy.

        * gutils.c: Furthermore two warnings in gutils.c were voided,
        which crept in due to my last change.

        * gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): Allocate only up to 128KB for a
        pathname. While this is an arbitrary value just like 2048, it
        seems to be enough (after all, even 4GB is an arbitrary value).

2000-03-20  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmain.c (g_main_poll): Warn in case of an error during the call
        to poll(2). Closes Bug#7564 as reported by David Helder
        <dhelder@umich.edu>.

        * gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): Make g_get_current_dir work on
        systems with unlimited pathname length like the HURD (It worked
        there before, but only for pathes shorter than 2048). Closes
        Bug#4525 as reported by Marcus Brinkmann
        <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>.

2000-03-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * giounix.c (g_io_unix_write, g_io_unix_read): Interpret EINTR as
        G_IO_ERROR_AGAIN.

2000-03-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Added the missing POSIX_NO_YIELD and
        POSIX_NO_PRIORITIES warning messages.

        * configure.in: Use AC_TRY_RUN instead of AC_TRY_LINK, to test for
        real thread support. On solaris pthread_create can be linked to
        even in -lc, but it doesn't work then.

        * configure.in: Don't use priorities for threads, when the
        minimal/maximal priorities couldn't be determined at configure
        time.
        
        * configure.in, gthread.c: Always define GSystemThread in
        glibconfig.h to represent a system thread.

        * configure.in: Do not use native recursive threads, when
        possibe. We use some features, that they do not expose (namely the
        depth counter).

        * glib.h, gthread.c: Redefined GStaticRecMutex. The functions are
        now implemented in a different way, which should be way
        faster. Alsothere are now functions g_static_rec_mutex_unlock_full
        and g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full to leave/enter a recursive mutex
        completly.

        * gthread.c (g_thread_self): Do not test the system_thread to be
        non-zero to speed things up.
        
        * gthread.c (g_mutex_init): Therefore set the system_thread of the
        main thread here.

        * tests/thread-test.c: Rerun all tests once again, but this time
        we fool the system into thinking, that the available thread system
        is not native, but userprovided.
        
2000-03-13  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gqueue.c (g_queue_push_tail_link, g_queue_push_head_link): We
        want the next and prev pointer of the inserted link to be NULL.

2000-03-06  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Another small change to the pthread_.. search
        pattern. Should work *now* for AIX.

2000-03-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_error_message): New function that returns the
        message string for a Win32 error code.

        * glib.h: Declare it.

        * glib.def: Export it, plus g_node_copy.

2000-03-03  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Make the search for pthread_attr_... prototypes
        find names at the start of a line also, like it is on AIX. Thanks
        to Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> for the info.

Wed Mar  1 10:39:39 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gslist.c (g_slist_reverse): minor optimization.

        * testglib.c (g_node_test): added a couple of tests for
        g_node_copy().

        * glib.h:
        * gnode.c (g_node_copy): new function to copy subtrees,
        supplied by dbsears@ix.netcom.com.
        changed iterator to walk the children list backwards, so
        we get down from O(n^2) to O(n).

        * gnode.c (g_node_first_sibling): applied patch from
        dbsears@ix.netcom.com to optimize access if node->parent
        is present.

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): backed out HAVE_PW_GECOS check around
        assignment of g_real_name, sicne HAVE_PW_GECOS is never defined and
        thus breaks the original code.

        * merged changes from 1.2.7.

Fri Jan 28 11:37:41 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        Bug #4156 - Changes vaguely modelled after Scott Gifford's patch

        * gtimer.c (g_timer_elapsed): Never report negative times -
        clip times to 0.

        * gmain.c (g_timeout_prepare): Guard against unexpected
        clock shifts by never setting a timeout of more than
        data->interval msecs.

2000-02-27  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add new functions.

2000-02-23  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Add a missing step to the setup instructions for
        gcc-2.95.2. Thanks to Arnaud Charlet.

        * glib.def: Add missing entry point.

2000-02-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Changed GCC version test to also accept major
        versions > 2. Thanks to Ben Gertzfield <che@debian.org> for
        pointing this out.

Thu Feb 17 12:53:44 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstring.c: changed g_str_hash() to a 31 bit version based on
        a submission by Karl Nelson and hand optimized ad absurdum by
        various people ;)

        * gstring.c: applied patch from havoc for new gstring functions,
        added some more sanity checks, coding style fixups.

2000-02-13  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * tests/string-test.c (main): Add tests for the new GString 
        features

        * testglib.c (main): Add tests for the new GString features

        * gstring.c (g_string_insert_len): New function; insert 
        a given length of string at a given position. 
        (g_string_append): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_len
        (g_string_append_len): new function
        (g_string_insert_c): accept -1 for "pos" arg to mean "append"
        (g_string_append_c): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_c
        (g_string_prepend): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_len
        (g_string_prepend_len): new function
        (g_string_prepend_c): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_c
        (g_string_insert): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_len

        * glib.h: Declare g_string_insert_len, g_string_append_len,
        g_string_prepend_len
        
Sun Feb 13 08:16:47 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: wtf??? someone destroyed the configure.in, reverting to
        an older version from Feb 4 which apears to still work.

2000-02-07  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gmodule.rc.in gthread.rc.in: Move to corresponding subdirectories.

        * Makefile.am
        * gmodule/Makefile.am
        * gthread/Makefile.am: Change accordingly.
        
        * makefile.cygwin: Corresponding changes, some cleanup.

2000-02-05  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.rc.in gmodule.rc.in gthread.rc.in: New files, for putting
        version info in the DLLs on Win32.

        * Makefile.am: Generate corresponding *.rc files and distribute
        them.

        * makefile.cygwin.in: Add rules to automatically bump a "build
        number" in the version info in the rc files each time the DLL is
        built. But do this only for the person who releases binaries. If
        others build the DLLs, the build number is set to zero.

Fri Feb  4 19:36:05 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: 
        * gdataset.c: return stolen data from g_datalist_id_remove_no_notify()
        and g_dataset_id_remove_no_notify() to avoid second lookup for common
        use.

2000-02-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h
        * gstrfuncs.c (g_filename_to_utf8, g_filename_from_utf8): New
        functions for conversion between UTF-8 and the encoding expected
        by C runtime functions like open() and stat(), and returned by
        readdir().

        Implement them on Win32 where we use the system "ANSI" codepage,
        which might be single-byte or double-byte. On Unix, just skip the
        issue for now and provide dummy implementations that return a copy
        of the argument.

        * README.win32
        * build-dll
        * glib.def: Minor updates.

Wed Jan 26 05:24:38 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gmain.c: s/current_time/dispatch_time/ for the dispatch() handlers.
        refetch the current time after invocation of poll() to cover up for
        the time spent in that function call.

Fri Jan 21 10:18:24 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.h (G_N_ELEMENTS): Added G_N_ELEMENTS macro to determine
        the number of elements in an array.

Sun Jan  9 13:28:36 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strtod): correctly fetch the current locale,
        fix from owen.

1999-12-16  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gmodule/gmodule-win32.c: Use FormatMessage to translate system
        error codes into textual messages.

1999-11-25  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h (G_TRYLOCK): This of course should return TRUE in a
        program with a thread-disabled GLib.

1999-11-18  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: g_strjoin was missing.

1999-11-16  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * acconfig.h, config.h.win32.in, configure.in: Renamed
        GLIB_SIZEOF_PTHREAD_T to GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to reflect
        changed meaning.

        * configure.in: Cope with systems, that have a pthread_t type,
        that is not a pointer. Hint from Karl Nelson
        <kenelson@ece.ucdavis.edu>. Define GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to 4
        for Solaris. Cope with systems, that have no default mutex
        initialize, like obviously most DCE systems.

        * glib.h, gthread.c: Changed the prototype of thread_create and
        thread_self to return the system thread into provided memory
        instead of a return value. This is necessary, as HPUX has a
        pthread_t, that is bigger than the biggest integral type there.

        * gthread.c: system_thread is no longer a pointer, but an memory
        area of size GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD. Changed the
        zeroinitialization and the tests for zeroness accordingly.

1999-11-09  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Create docs/glib-config.1 from
        docs/glib-config.1.in. Makes 'make distcheck' happy (and me too).

        * glib-config.1: Removed from CVS, as it is a generated file.

1999-11-08  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Make the test for getpwuid_r work on newer AIX
        versions, too. Still works on Solaris and Linux. Patch from Craig
        Rodrigues <rodrigc@mediaone.net>.

1999-11-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_getlocale): Look at env vars LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE
        and LANG first. Some refinements to the sublanguage logic.

1999-11-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Add gwin32 object. Add rule to make .i
        (preprocessed source) files.

1999-11-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h
        * glib.def: Rename Win32-only functions from gwin_* to g_win32_*
        to match the GLib naming conventions.

        * gutils.c
        * gwin32.c
        * testglib.c
        * Makefile.am: Move the Win32-only functions to the new
        file gwin32.c

1999-10-31  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c (gwin_getlocale): New Win32-specific function, returns
        a Unixish current locale string (en, zh_TW etc).

        * glib.h: Declare it.

        * glib.def: Export it.

        * testglib.c: Test it.

        * gmessages.c (Win32: ensure_stdout_valid): Some improvements,
        make sure we don't call AllocConsole several times, which I think
        has happened.

Sun Oct 31 18:55:01 1999  ape@spacetec.no  (Asbjorn Pettersen)

        * gcache.c (g_cache_remove): Test if node is NULL.
        If not tested, GIMP's script-fu will crash. 

Sun Oct 17 18:11:40 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gdataset.c (g_data_set_internal): remove g_dataset_global_lock around
        destroy() notification here as well.

1999-10-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gdataset.c (g_datalist_clear_i): Avoid Freezing, when g_datalist
        is called recursivly. Reported by Ola Andersson <rand@ling.umu.se>.

Tue Oct 12 14:17:12 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: removed useless g_string(x) macro that cluttered the namespace
        and was just a poor wrapper around the cpp '#' symbol, use #x if you
        need to work around this.
        added new macro G_STRINGIFY(arg) that will convert arg to a string,
        no matter whether it contains macros or not.

1999-10-12  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * config.h.win32.in: Define the new GLIB_SIZEOF_* constants here,
        too.

        * glib.h: Small Win32 comments improvement.

Tue Oct 12 12:16:12 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmessages.c (g_printf_string_upper_bound): completly new implementation
        for printf string upper bounds calculation.
        we handle all glibc 2.1 format specifiers now, except for positional
        parameters (%nn$...) and wide char strings, plus some obscure upper
        case variants of the standard conversions. this fixes a lot of
        bugs in the old code, i.e.
        - NULL format strings
        - floats with exponents >+24
        - %G
        - precision specifications in general
        - negative field widths
        - %p for SIZEOF_VOID_P > 4 platforms
        we now issue warnigns in places where the old code would have
        caused buffer overruns anyways. warnings are suppressed when invoked
        from glogv(), to avoid infinite recursions if someone passes a log
        message that comes with really obscure format specifications.

Tue Oct 12 11:49:00 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstrfuncs.c: nuked old g_printf_string_upper_bound() version.

Tue Oct 12 03:34:40 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added GFloatIEEE754 and GDoubleIEEE754 unions to access sign,
        mantissa and exponent of IEEE floats and doubles (required by the new
        version of g_printf_string_upper_bound). the unions are endian specific,
        we handle G_LITTLE_ENDIAN and G_BIG_ENDIAN as of currently. ieee floats
        and doubles are supported (used for storage) by at least intel, ppc and
        sparc, reference:
        http://twister.ou.edu/workshop.docs/common-tools/numerical_comp_guide/ncg_math.doc.html
        
Mon Oct 11 18:01:49 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: added additional checks to figure sizes of size_t,
        ptrdiff_t and intmax_t (required by g_printf_string_upper_bound).

Wed Oct  6 12:44:23 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * configure.in: blah. use G_WITH_CYGWIN instead of G_HAVE_CYGWIN

1999-10-05  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h: (Win32) Drop the mapping of POSIX function names to the
        underscored versions, it's unnecessary after all. With MSVC we get
        them from oldnames.lib, with gcc-2.95 and mingw32 from
        -lmoldname-msvc. Add comment about what headers to include for
        prototypes.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Don't define WIN32 and NATIVE_WIN32.

        * gerror.c (g_on_error_query): (Win32) Slightly increased verbosity.

        * build-dll: Don't strip.

        * tests/string-test.c tests/dirname-test.c: Use G_OS_WIN32.

        * glib.def: Add g_thread_use_default_impl.

Sun Oct  3 19:46:55 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * configure.in: use G_HAVE_CYGWIN instead of G_OS_FEATURE_CYGWIN

Sun Oct  3 19:25:42 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * acconfig.h
        * configure.in
        * glibconfig.h.win32: G_OS_FOO #defines. I *think* I got the cygwin
        and beos stuff right, but I haven't tested it. The respective
        porters should fix any screwups

        * glib.h
        * gerror.c
        * gmain.c
        * gmessages.c
        * gscanner.c
        * gthread.c
        * gtimer.c
        * gutils.c
        * testglib.c: use G_OS stuff

Wed Sep 22 01:53:18 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (NULL): define NULL as (0L) if __cplusplus is defined, to
        avoid "ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in argument
        passing" errors upon NULL usage in C++ programs (gcc-2.95 is on crack
        for erroring out on this, instead of just issueing a warning).

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): use uncasted NULL again.
        
Fri Sep 17 10:24:45 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_compute_size) (g_mem_chunk_new): applied patch
        from Soeren Sandmann <sandmann@daimi.au.dk>, to force mem chunk's area
        sizes to be a multitiple of atom_size, and to eliminate the MAX_MEM_AREA
        restriction of 65536 bytes. we also catch cases where users pass an area
        size < atom size with a return_if_fail statement now (which is ok,
        because previously this lead to memory corruption anyways).

Thu Sep 16 13:19:54 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): add explicit (GTrashStack*) cast for NULL
        pointer to cure ANSI C++ error.

Mon Sep 13 23:25:59 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmessages.c (g_logv): in case we have to abort the program,
        debugging is enabled and we are not called recursively, try
        to abort with raise (SIGTRAP) first, so developers may ignore
        certain failure conditions during debugging stage.

Thu Aug 26 15:09:36 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * Makefile.am:
        * gmodule/Makefile.am:
        * gthread/Makefile.am: added --export-dynamic so we can load dynmic
        modules, (required, according to the libtool 1.3.3 docu).

1999-07-23  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * grand.c (g_rand_new): Use /dev/urandom, as it doesn't block,
        which /dev/random might do. Do not XOR the time, when getting the
        seed form /dev/urandom, as this is good itself. Prevent the
        initial seed from being zero, which causes the PRNG to produce
        only zeros. Hints from Colin Plumb <colin@pgp.com>.

1999-08-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_push): Add a cast.

        * gslist.c
        * glist.c: Make the inline functions static inline, and add
        separate extern wrappers. Not all compilers produce callable entry
        points for inline functions, even if gcc does.

Sun Aug 15 02:47:14 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): eliminate memset() call, since string.h
        has not neccessarily been included prior to glib.h.

Mon Aug  2 21:03:10 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: added --enable-msg-prefix option.

        * gmessages.c (g_log_default_handler): feature "prg_name (pid:%u): "
        if --enable-msg-prefix was selected (use "(process:%u): " if
        g_get_prgname () returns NULL, along the lines of g_on_error_query).

1999-08-03  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h
        * gstrfuncs.c
        * tests/strfunc-test.c: Rename g_strccpy to g_strcompress and
        g_strecpy to g_strescape per Tim Janik's suggestion. Dropped the
        destination parameter, always g_malloc a new string.  Fix bug in
        g_strcompress, octal digits were gobbled up without limit, should
        use max three.

        Sources that use g_strescape must have ifdefs to be compilable
        both with GLib 1.2 and 1.3.

Sat Jul 31 17:52:03 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * glib.h
        * gstrfuncs.c: the #define for g_strescape interfered with the
        compilation of the function, so just remove the function and
        note that it's deprecated in the header

1999-08-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strccpy, g_strecpy): New functions.

        * glib.h: Declare and document them. Define the deprecated
        g_strescape as a macro that calls g_strecpy.

        * tests/strfunc-test.c (main): Test them.

        * makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in
        * tests/makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Remove gstack and its test
        program.

        * glib.def: Additions and removals.

        * README.win32: Improve gcc build instructions.

        * build-dll: Also build import library for MSVC.

Sat Jul 24 20:11:35 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * merged GLib 1.3.0 with glib-1.2.3 from Fri Jul 16 22:18:36.
        * incorporated proposed cleanups from gtk-devel-list.

        * bumped version number to GLib-1.3.1

        * glib.h:
        * gqueue.c:
        * gstring.c:
        * glist.c:
        removed string tokenisation (we got g_strsplit() and g_strjoin()
        already) and readline functions.
        s/g_list_delete/g_list_delete_link.
        implemented g_slist_delete_link.
        removed notion of g_ATEXIT() macro in glib.h, this is an *internal*
        macro, g_atexit() is provided for public consumption.
        added GTrashStack inline utility functions.
        reimplement double eneded queues.
        removed GStack implementation, people can use a queue or a (singly)
        linked list for this task.
        deprecated g_strescape(), we need the SunOS variants here.

        * gdate.c: added DEBUG_MSG() macro to wrap old messages.
        
        * *.*: CVS merges.

        * upgrade to libtool 1.3.3.

1999-07-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        Win32: With the latest gcc (2.95, pre-release), we can have binary
        compatibility with MSVC by using the switch -fnative-struct. No
        longer build DLLs with .gcc in the name when using gcc.

        * README.win32: Renew gcc build instructions.

        * build-dll: Comments change, handle also .a files.

        * makefile.cygwin.in

        * glib.h: Map also rmdir() and hypot() for MSVCRT library.

        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in: New DLL naming style. GCC-compiled DLLs are
        now called *.gcc.dll, to avoid binary incompatibilities with
        MSVC-compiled versions.

        * makefile.msc.in: Cosmetics.

1999-07-07  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Test for pthread_join rather than for
        pthread_create to determine the right thread-lib. Makes it work on
        mips-sgi-irix6.5. Hitn from to Jari Vuoksenranta
        <javu@piano.ux.phys.jyu.fi>.

1999-07-02  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Note about need to fix another bug in the mingw32
        headers.

        * makefile.msc.in: Debugging turned on via an nmake variable,
        no need to edit the makefile.

1999-07-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, acconfig.h, gutils.c: Added a g_memmove
        replacement for platforms without memmove, where bcopy can't
        handle overlapping copies and the corresponding checks, which is
        taken form the PERL Configure routine.

        * glib.h: Updated the commentary about g_memmove to be right and
        more GLib-like.
        
        * configure.in: Removed test for rand_r, as it isn't used anymore.

1999-06-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h, grand.c: Finally removed the g_random_normal and
        g_rand_normal functions.

        * glib.spec.in: Changed version number (1.1->1.3) in files section
        to allow rpm to build packages again.

1999-06-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Update the pthreads snapshot version we want.
        Advice how to hand-expand the makefile.*.in files.

        * config.h.win32.in: Define values needed by Sebastian Wilhelmi's
        new thread stuff.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Update the pthreads snapshot version.
        Fix typo.

        * gthread.c: Include config.h, guard inclusion of unistd.h.  When
        using gcc on Win32, g_thread_functions_for_glib_use must be marked
        for export here, too.

        * gtimer.c: Implement g_usleep on native Win32 using Sleep (which
        only has millisecond granularity, though).
        
        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * makefile.msc.in: Update pthreads snapshot version. File
        name changes. Remove testgthread.

        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in

        AC_TRY_COMPILE to AC_TRY_LINK.

1999-06-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, acglib.m4, acconfig.h, glib.h, gthread.c:
        Completed the thread support in GLib. Thread creation,
        prioritizing threads, yielding, joining threads as well as
        reader/writer locks and recursive mutexes are now in place. Please
        test heavily on your platform. It is so far tested on
        Linux/i386/pthreads, Solaris/Sparc/pthreads and
        Solaris/Sparc/solaristhreads.

        * gtimer.c, glib.h: Implement g_usleep (gulong microseconds) for
        thread safe sleeping. (sleep() is not MT-safe at all!)

        * gutils.c: Avoid compiler warning.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/thread-test.c: New program to test some
        aspects of the thread implementation.

        * gthread.c, Makefile.am: Renamed from gmutex.c to reflect the
        change of content.

        * configure.in: Purged all appearances of nspr.

        _fstat.

        * README.win32: Advice also to remove -lmoldname in the
        patch to the egcs-1.1.2 spec file.

Wed May 12 00:23:55 CDT 1999 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * gmodule/Makefile.am: Another small fix.

1999-05-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Correct rules for making the
        win32-related files that are made from corresponding .in files.
        Is there a cleaner way than explicitly writing rules that invoke
        config.status?

Fri Jul 16 22:18:36 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * ltconfig
        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.3.3

1999-06-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gdate.c, gstrfuncs.c, gstring.c: Fixed the use of the
        is..... and to..... macros, which take unsigned chars, not chars!
        Thanks to Morten Welinder <terra@diku.dk> for pointing this out.

Thu Jun  3 16:30:31 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * gerror.c (g_on_error_query): check isatty() before querying so

1999-05-26  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmain.c: provide a poll prototype for SunOS, as they do not do
        it self. Hint from Christian Parg <cparg@fs-design.de>.

Tue May 25 12:23:07 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strchug): Use g_memmove() not memmove().

        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.3

1999-04-30  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am: Don't distribute glibconfig.h.win32.in, but
        glibconfig.h.win32. Generate it when making a dist. Also generate
        makefile.msc and config.h.win32 from corresponding .in files when
        making dist.

        * configure.in: Also substitute @GLIB_INTERFACE_AGE@ and
        @GLIB_BINARY_AGE@ (needed in config.h.win32).
        
        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Use static mutex structure and initial
        value corresponding to the 1999-04-07 snapshot of pthreads-win32.

        making dist.

        * tests/makefile.msc.in: New file.

Thu Apr 29 02:16:36 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstrfuncs.c: minor code cleanups.

Tue Apr 27 13:11:29 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_poll): Mask out ERR HUP and NVAL from
        the events field so we don't give IRIX fits.

Tue Apr 20 08:42:22 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): behave conservative with
        G_TOKEN_IDENTIFIER_NULL and always assume scanner->value.v_string
        to be "null" in that case.

1999-04-20  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gutils.c (g_vsnprintf):  When using the vsnprintf()
        implementation, '\0'-terminate the resulting string
        and return its length rather than -1.

Mon Apr 19 13:42:21 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_iterate): Added missing
        #ifdef G_THREADS_ENABLED. (I never liked G_THREADS_ENABLED in
        the first place!)

1999-04-18  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gutils.c (g_snprintf): When using the vsnprintf()
        implementation, '\0'-terminate the resulting string
        and return its length rather than -1.

Fri Apr 16 06:52:07 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): feature G_TOKEN_EOF as a valid
        expected token as well, so we get "- expected end of file" instead of
        "- expected (unknown) token <0>".

Tue Apr 13 16:16:14 CDT 1999 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * Released GLib 1.2.2

1999-04-12  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@mh69.mh.cuc.edu>

        * g_strchug(): s/strcpy/memmove/

1999-04-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Adjusted the test for an unimplemented
        getpwuid_r. Info from Michael Pruett <mikep@ugcs.caltech.edu>.

Sun Apr 11 15:07:34 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: bumped versin number to GLib 1.2.2, interface 2,

Sat Apr 10 19:30:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: removed braces around inline strings for the G_GNUC_FUNCTION
        and G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION macros, so the macros can be used for compile
        time string concatenation.

Thu Apr  8 19:53:19 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_iterate): Check for two threads
        calling g_main_iterate at once.

        * gmain.c: If the set of poll file descriptors changes
        during a call to poll(), abort that call, and start
        a new poll. My test program still segfaults
        obscurely on glibc 2.0 (in read()!!!), but now it works on
        glibc 2.1, so I'll blame something else for the other segfault.

1999-03-31  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Fixed slight bug, that made configure hang on some
        systems. Please do not merge this into 1.3 branch. It's taken care
        of differently there. Info from J. Rhett Aultman
        <cuplan@alley.gator.net>

Mon Mar 22 03:54:43 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:

        so it can be used to e.g. pass a GPollFd.
        (g_main_poll): only add poll records with an events mask != 0 to the
        fd_array. don't even bother calling poll_func() if fds=timeout=0.
        added debugging printouts around poll_func() invokation that can be
        enabled with #define G_MAIN_POLL_DEBUG.

        needed)

1999-03-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

Sun Mar 14 17:50:35 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements
        to g_return_if_fail().
        (g_mem_profile): 
        (g_mem_chunk_print): 
        (g_mem_chunk_info): removed some extraneous "\n"s at the end of the log
        messages.

        g_return_if_fail() and added some extra ones to check relation != NULL.

1999-03-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Also accept _Pctime_r instead of ctime_r, while
        seraching for the right `_REENTRANT' flag. This is for Digital
        UNIX 4.0d. Thanks to Sascha Brawer <sb@adasys.ch>.

Tue Mar  9 23:25:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: check for working realloc (NULL,).
        * gmem.c (g_realloc): use malloc() for initial allocation on systems
        where realloc(NULL,) will not work (this is the case on SunOS, reported
        by Tom Geiger).

Mon Mar  8 07:42:08 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghook.c (g_hook_unref): when !hook_list->is_setup, wrap the
        flag around the call to g_hook_free() to avoid spurious
        warnings (happens during destruction phase).

1999-03-03  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glibconfig.h.win32, config.h.win32: Moved G_THREADS_IMPL_POSIX

        * acconfig.h, configure.in, config.h.win32: Added test for DCE
        versions of mutex_trylock and cond_timedwait. The win32 versions
        are posix, aren't they?

1999-03-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmem.c: Fixed a stupid cut'n'paste error of mine. Thanks to
        Friedrich Dominicus <Friedrich.Dominicus@inka.de>

1999-03-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Fixed yet another bloody
        implementation of getpwuid_r on AIX. Thanks to Olaf Dietsche
        <olaf.dietsche+list.gtk@netcologne.de>. I would like a configure
        test better than that, but have no idea, how to do that easily.

        exported (using the GUTILS_C_VAR macro).
        * gutils.c gmodule/libgplugin_[ab].c: LibMain not needed.
        * gmodule/gmoduleconf.h.win32: Need underscore with gcc.
        * gthread/gthread.c: With gcc on Win32, must use memcpy to assign
        value of g_thread_functions_for_glib_use (?).
        * makefile.msc tests/makefile.msc: Cosmetics.

Fri Apr 23 14:29:25 BST 1999  Tony Gale <gale@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: Fix typo in g_string_ncasecmp macro (by me).

1999-04-22  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): use sysconf (_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) as
        the new initinal bufsize for getpwuid_r on systems, that support
        this. Hint from Holger Duerer <H.Duerer@zait.uni-bremen.de>.

        * tests/rand-test.c (main): New tests; Slight bug fix. 

1999-04-09  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * Released GLib 1.3.0

1999-03-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Added a check for the right format to printf and
        scanf long longs. It is %qi instead of %lli on FreeBSD for
        whatever reason.

1999-03-28  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * Makefile.am (glibconfig.h): Make sure `glibconfig.h' exists
        after the rule is fired.
        (install-exec-local): Install glibconfig.h only if the contents
        are different from the currently installed glibconfig.h.

1999-03-26  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * Makefile.am (configexecincludedir): Rename from 
        configincludedir so that glibconfig.h will be installed 
        as part of `make install-exec'. 

Thu Mar 25 22:45:47 1999  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * config.h.win32: Update version numbers.

        * glibconfig.h.win32: Update version numbers and pthreads-win32-
        related magic values.

        * README.win32: Some improvements.

        * makefile.msc: Add gqueue and gstack. Correct version number.

Fri Mar 19 16:29:50 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * acinclude.m4
        * config.guess
        * config.sub
        * ltconfig
        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.2f

        * acconfig.h: remove WITH_SYMBOL_UNDERSCORE (not explictly
        needed)

1999-03-18  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * glib.def: Add new g_list, g_stack, g_queue functions.

1999-03-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: added new AC_SUBST(GTHREAD_COMPILE_IMPL_DEFINES)
        to hold various defines to get the right thread implementation on
        different platforms. Also look in -ldce for pthread_create. Should
        make it work on HP-UX 10.x. Information from "D. Emilio Grimaldo
        Tunon" <emilio_tunon@nl.compuware.com>.

1999-03-17  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * gstack.c, gqueue.c:
        Add copyright, clean up code a bit.

1999-03-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Added missing values for G_MAXU(SHORT|INT|LONG) on
        platforms with only /usr/include/values.h.

        * acconfig.h: Removed unnecessary macros.

        * glibconfig.h.win32, config.h.win32: Moved G_THREADS_IMPL_POSIX
        from config.h.win32 to glibconfig.h.win32. Taken from glib 1.2
        branch.

        * configure.in: Also accept _Pctime_r instead of ctime_r, while
        seraching for the right `_REENTRANT' flag. This is for Digital
        UNIX 4.0d. Taken from glib 1.2 branch.

Wed Mar 17 03:14:56 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added GLIB_CHECK_VERSION() macro similar to
        GTK_CHECK_VERSION().

Wed Mar 17 01:46:28 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * merges from glib-1-2:
        
Sun Mar 14 17:50:35 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements
        to g_return_if_fail().
        (g_mem_profile):
        (g_mem_chunk_print):
        (g_mem_chunk_info): removed some extraneous "\n"s at the end of the log
        messages.

        * gtimer.c (g_timer_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements
        to g_return_if_fail().
        * grel.c (g_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements to
        g_return_if_fail() and added some extra ones to check relation != NULL.

Tue Mar  9 23:25:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: check for working realloc (NULL,).
        * gmem.c (g_realloc): use malloc() for initial allocation on systems
        where realloc(NULL,) will not work (this is the case on SunOS, reported
        by Tom Geiger).

Mon Mar  8 07:42:08 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghook.c (g_hook_unref): when !hook_list->is_setup, wrap the
        flag around the call to g_hook_free() to avoid spurious
        warnings (happens during destruction phase).

1999-03-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmem.c: Fixed a stupid cut'n'paste error of mine. Thanks to
        Friedrich Dominicus <Friedrich.Dominicus@inka.de>

1999-03-16  Timur Bakeyev  <mc@bat.ru>

        * configure.in: Fix problem with pthread_create in libc, as running
        "gcc test.c -l " is not legal.

1999-03-16  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * tests/type-test.c: Added a test for the
        G_(U)?INT(16|32|64)_FORMAT and G_(MIN|MAX|MAXU)(SHORT|INT|LONG)
        macros.

        * configure.in: Removed G_(U)?INT8_FORMAT again, as it can't be
        used for scanf.

        * configure.in: Added the macros G_MAXU(SHORT|INT|LONG). I do not
        know how to handle these on platforms with /usr/include/values.h,
        but without /usr/include/limits.h. Please someone add this.


1999-03-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Added the macros G_(U)?INT(8|16|32|64)_FORMAT to
        use for printf and (much more important) scanf format strings for
        the corresponding GLib types. 

        * glib.h Added G_(U)?(SHORT|INT|LONG)_FORMAT for consistency. It
        however makes no sense to also provide G_(FLOAT|DOUBLE)_FORMAT, as
        they are different for printf (f for both) and scanf (f for float,
        lf for double). Defining G_INT_FORMAT makes sense however, as we
        might want to define gint to something different than int someday
        in the future. Idea from Sascha Brawer <sb@adasys.ch>.
        
1999-03-14  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * gdate.c:
        Commented out debugging output.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/date-test.c:
        Added test of the GDate module, based closely on testgdate.c.

        * tests/Makefile.am:
        Bugfix - compile tests with @GLIB_DEBUG_FLAGS@.

1999-03-14  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * configure.in (glibconfig.h): Remove widechar tests and defines.
        (fd_set): Change the grep for `fd_mask' to search for `fd_set'.
        * gerror.c (fd_mask): Remove conditional typedef.  It is not used
        elsewhere in the file.
        * gmain.c (fd_mask): Likewise.

1999-03-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Test for posix threads first, then for dce threads.

1999-03-11  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Revamped the thread configure stuff. Now dce
        threads (old posix draft) are recogniced. This is necessary,
        because dce threads are in fact working quite differently from
        posix threads. Also changed the conditions for checking for MT
        safe functions a bit, because G_THREADS_IMPL_NONE still have to
        compile thread safe. NOTE: Please do not commit my change to
        glib-1-2/{acconfig.h,configure.in,config.h.win32} from 1999-03-03,
        as the current change will take care of that too.

Tue Mar  9 14:37:32 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * Makefile.am, glib.h, gstack.c, gqueue.c,
          tests/Makefile.am, tests/queue-test.c, tests/stack-test.c:
        Added stack, queue ADTs and related tests.

        * glib.h, glist.c:
        New g_list_delete() function.

Sat Mar  6 11:03:08 1999  Asbjorn Pettersen  <ape@lrdpf.spacetec.no>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): add OS/2 changes.
        change '\\' in HOME to '/'.

1999-03-03  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@spin.dsl.pacbell.net>

        * glib.def: g_spaced_primes_closest was omitted here, so I
        couldn't build Xdelta on Windows.

1999-03-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Fixed yet another bloody
        implementation of getpwuid_r on AIX. Thanks to Olaf Dietsche
        <olaf.dietsche+list.gtk@netcologne.de>. I would like a configure
        test better than that, but have no idea, how to do that easily.

Sat Feb 27 01:18:47 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ChangeLog: moved old ChangeLog to ChangeLog.pre-1-2, and started
        new one.

        * configure.in: set glib version to 1.3.0.
