3 * glib/gslice.c (slice_config_init): initialize GSlice config from
4 G_SLICE environemtn variable. we support G_SLICE=always-malloc
5 currently, which forces all g_slice_*() allocations to use the system
9 g_parse_debug_string(): added a note about not using g_malloc() here.
10 _g_getenv_nomalloc(): getenv() variant that doesn't use g_malloc or
11 g_slice. contains only guesswork in the WIN32 branch.

23 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_get_groups): Correct a g_new0()
24 call. (#327421, Morten Welinder)
26 2006-01-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
28 * glib/gthreadpool.c: To avoid deadlocks get rid of the settings
29 G_LOCK. Use the unused_thread_queue lock instead. Change
30 g_thread_pool_thread_proxy such that threads only wait on
31 non-exlusive pools for at most a 1/2 second. Do not reorder tasks
32 due to superfluous tasks. Global tasks wait at most for
33 max-idle-time milliseconds. Make sure, that no task is woken up
34 twice for the same event via a wakeup_serial. This fixes #324228.
36 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapt test accordingly. Do not pass
37 invalid NULL into the thread pools. This as well fixes #327290.

56 Fix bug 326747, Alberto Ruiz:
58 * glib/gconvert.c (make_valid_utf8): Change this function to
59 replace unknown characters by the Unicode replacement character
60 instead of '?', and don't append "(invalid encoding)".
61 (g_filename_display_name, g_filename_display_basename): Document
62 how to determine if the filename was in an invalid encoding.

147 - Added new API g_thread_pool_get_idle_time() and
148 g_thread_pool_set_idle_time(). (#324228).
150 * tests/threadpool-test.c:
151 - Updated test case to do thread pool sorting, thread pool with
152 no sorting and a thread pool with idle thread timeouts.

170 * glib/gstdio.c (g_rmdir): Don't provide g_rmdir() as a macro
171 expanding to rmdir, since rmdir is not declared in a portable
172 system header we can include in gstdio.h. (#325249, Jani Monoses)
174 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
176 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
177 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer
178 will try to read from them regardless whether the
179 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
180 readability or not. (#325310)

233 * glib/gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_set_sort_function): New function
234 to sort tasks pushed into a threadpool. (#324479, Martyn Russell)
236 * tests/threadpool-test.c: Test this.
238 Tue Dec 20 18:14:14 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
240 * glib/gslice.[hc]: added mem_error() and mem_assert() to test and
241 handle errors without depending on gmessage.c which might not be
242 setup when the error occours.
243 removed G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE config option, fixed the code so
244 always freeing can be achieved by adjusting the working set time to
245 0 with G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
246 added G_SLICE_CONFIG_COLOR_INCREMENT to test different color increments
247 (mainly 0 and 1). reduced the minimum block size to 128 bytes, to
248 minimize wastage if small amounts of differently sized structrues are
249 allocated, this does come at a performance cost of roughly 5% though.
250 fixed up block alignment calculation, so it works for varying
251 block sizes. only use strerror() not g_strerror() since the latter
252 depends on working GQuark and GSlice.
253 mem_error(): implemented in terms of fprintf and vfprintf.
255 * tests/slice-color.c: new program to test cache colorization effects.
257 * tests/slice-test.c: trade G_SLICE_CONFIG_ALWAYS_FREE for 0 duration
258 G_SLICE_CONFIG_WORKING_SET_MSECS.
260 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

263 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
265 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
267 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
268 and g_atomic_pointer_get. Add g_atomic_int_set and
269 g_atomic_pointer_set implementations for the !DEFINE_WITH_MUTEXES &&
270 G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case, as well as defining them
271 as functions (additionally to the macros in the header) for the
272 !G_ATOMIC_OP_MEMORY_BARRIER_NEEDED case.
274 2005-12-16 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
276 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): Don't return a pointer to
277 a const struct, since apps expect to be able to modify it.
278 (#324179, J. Ali Harlow)
280 Tue Dec 13 10:13:32 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
282 * glib/gatomic.h: added g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set()
283 for systems where the initialization of atomic variables requires a
284 write memory barrier.
286 2005-12-09 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

305 * glib/gasyncqueue.c:
306 - Call g_queue_insert_sorted() instead of duplicating the code.
307 - Call g_queue_sort() instead of duplicating the code.
308 - Invert sort function results to make sure the same sort function
309 gives the same results across glist, gslist, gqueue and
312 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
313 - Updated the sort function to reflect the example in the
314 documentation for gasyncqueue.c.

319 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml:
320 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml:
323 - Added g_list_insert_sorted_with_data () and
324 g_slist_insert_sorted_with_data ().
325 - Removed the extra check in g_list_sort() and g_slist_sort() for
326 GCompareDataFunc vs. GCompareFunc.
328 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
330 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
331 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
334 2005-12-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
336 * glib/gmem.h: Exempt GTK+ from the mem chunk deprecation, since
337 we need GTK+ 2.8 to compile against GLib 2.10.
339 2005-12-05 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
341 * tests/run-collate-test.sh: set LC_COLLATE, not LANG, to be sure

370 * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt:
371 * glib/gasyncqueue.[ch]:
372 - Added support for sorting async queues by with _push_sorted(),
373 _push_sorted_unlocked(), _sort() and _sort_unlocked() (#323047).
376 * tests/asyncqueue-test.c:
377 - Added test case for gasyncqueue.c
379 Mon Dec 5 15:53:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
381 * glib/gslice.c: implement chain walking for arbitrary ->next pointer
382 offsets in g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() based on a patch by behdad
383 in bug 323178. moved time consuming logic from g_slice_free() out of
384 the inner loop, so g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() provides a real
385 performance benefit over g_slice_free1() now.
387 * glib/gslice.h: renamed g_slice_free_chain() to
388 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset(). implemented g_slice_free_chain() as
389 a type-safe macro as suggested in bug 323178.
390 simplified the macro implementation of g_slice_free() and implemented
391 it in a type safe manner for all compliers as suggested by Morten
392 Welinder <mortenw@gnome.org>.

415 Handle multiple user names with the same UID better.
416 (#319535, Laszlo Peter)
418 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init_do): When determining user
419 data, first look up $LOGNAME. If the UID doesn't match
420 getuid(), fall back to the current behaviour of looking
421 up the user data based on getuid().
423 2005-12-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
425 * glib/gmacros.h (G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Add a macro
426 to make gcc warn if a function result is ignored. (#145466,
427 Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson)
429 * glib/gmem.h: Add the new attribute to g_realloc and

475 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
477 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
479 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
480 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
482 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
483 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
485 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
487 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
489 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
490 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
491 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
492 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.

497 double-free base interface members.
499 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
501 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
503 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
505 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
507 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
509 * glib/gthreadinit.h:
512 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
513 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
514 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
515 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
516 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
517 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
519 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
522 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
524 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
526 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
529 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
531 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
533 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
534 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
535 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
536 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
537 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
539 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
540 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.

566 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
568 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
569 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
570 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
571 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
573 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
575 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
576 removed GData node cache.

589 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
590 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.

604 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
605 when refcount reaches 0.
606 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
607 g_hash_table_insert():
608 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
611 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and

647 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
649 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
650 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
651 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
656 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
657 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
659 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
661 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

664 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
666 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
667 category value against multiple values.

671 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
673 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
675 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
677 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
678 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
680 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
682 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
683 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
685 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
687 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
688 in the LDADD for this test.
690 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
692 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
693 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
694 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
696 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
698 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
699 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
700 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
701 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
702 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
704 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
705 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
707 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
709 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
711 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
712 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
713 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
716 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
718 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
719 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
720 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
721 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
723 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
725 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
726 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
727 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
729 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
730 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
731 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
733 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
734 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
735 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
736 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
739 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
753 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
754 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
756 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
759 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
761 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
763 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
764 be used for poll rec lists.
766 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
767 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
768 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
769 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
770 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
771 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
773 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
775 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
776 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
778 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
779 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
781 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
783 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
785 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
787 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
788 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
791 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
793 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
794 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
796 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
798 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
799 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
800 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
801 the hash table. (#319232)
803 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
805 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
806 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
808 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
810 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
812 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
814 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
816 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
818 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
819 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
821 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
823 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
824 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
826 * glib/gunichartables.h:
828 * tests/casefold.txt:
829 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
830 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
833 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
835 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
836 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
839 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
840 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
841 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
842 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
844 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
846 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
847 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
849 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
851 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
853 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
854 (#316703, Mark Drago)
856 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
858 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
859 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
862 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
864 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
866 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
867 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
868 encodings like CP932.
870 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
872 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
874 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
875 of length 1. (#316309)
877 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
879 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
881 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
883 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
884 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
887 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
889 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
890 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
893 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
895 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
896 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
897 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
898 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
900 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
901 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
902 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
903 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
904 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
905 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
907 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
908 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
910 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
911 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
912 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
913 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
914 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
915 for the spawned console application).
917 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
919 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
921 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
922 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
924 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
925 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
927 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
929 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
930 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
932 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
933 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
934 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
935 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
936 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
937 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
939 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
940 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
941 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
942 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
945 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
949 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
951 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
953 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
956 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
958 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
960 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
962 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
963 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
964 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
965 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
966 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
967 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
968 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
971 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
972 g_spawn*() functions.
974 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
975 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
976 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
977 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
978 that take parameters in the system codepage.
980 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
981 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
982 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
983 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
984 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
985 need to have them permanently in the source.)
987 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
989 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
990 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
992 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
994 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
995 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
996 between signed and unsigned.
998 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1000 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
1002 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1004 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
1006 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1010 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
1014 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
1016 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
1018 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
1020 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
1022 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
1024 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
1027 Optimise single-character insertions.
1032 * tests/string-test.c:
1033 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
1035 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1037 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
1039 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
1040 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
1042 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
1044 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
1045 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
1046 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
1047 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
1048 Make use of these two throughout the code.
1050 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
1052 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
1053 the child process and then simply return. This makes
1054 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
1055 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
1057 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
1058 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
1060 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
1061 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
1063 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
1064 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
1065 in yet another section.
