4 * glib/gcache.h: Deprecate g_cache_value_foreach. (#322956,
7 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files
10 * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to
11 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
12 Alexis S. L. Carvalho)
14 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
16 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.

24 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
25 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
27 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
29 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
30 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
32 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
34 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
35 the IA64 implementation.
37 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
39 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
41 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
43 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
44 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
46 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
48 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
49 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
51 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
52 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
54 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
56 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
58 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
59 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
60 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
61 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
63 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
65 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
66 double-free base interface members.
68 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
70 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
72 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
74 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
76 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
81 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
82 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
83 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
84 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
85 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
86 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
88 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
91 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
93 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
95 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
98 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
100 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
102 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
103 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
104 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
105 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
106 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
108 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
109 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
111 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
113 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
116 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
118 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
119 G_STMT_END if it works.

127 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
130 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
132 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
133 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
135 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
137 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
138 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
139 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
140 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
142 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
144 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
145 removed GData node cache.
147 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
149 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
150 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
152 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
155 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
156 internal function which factors out common parts of
157 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
158 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
159 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
160 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
161 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
163 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
164 in the g_quarks array.
165 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
167 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
171 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
172 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
173 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
174 when refcount reaches 0.
175 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
176 g_hash_table_insert():
177 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
180 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
183 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
185 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
186 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
188 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

205 * README.in: Updates.
209 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
210 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
211 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
212 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
215 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
216 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
218 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
219 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
220 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
225 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
226 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
228 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
230 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
231 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
233 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
235 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
236 category value against multiple values.
238 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
240 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
242 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
244 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
246 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
247 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
249 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
251 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
252 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
254 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
256 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
257 in the LDADD for this test.
259 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
261 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
262 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
263 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
265 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
267 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
268 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
269 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
270 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
271 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
273 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
274 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
276 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
278 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
280 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
281 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
282 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
285 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
287 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
288 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
289 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
290 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
292 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
294 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
295 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
296 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
298 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
299 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
300 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
302 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
303 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
304 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
305 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
308 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
322 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
323 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
325 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
328 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
330 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
332 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
333 be used for poll rec lists.
335 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
336 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
337 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
338 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
339 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
340 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
342 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
344 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
345 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
347 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
348 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
350 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
352 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
354 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
356 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
357 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
360 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
362 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
363 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
365 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
367 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
368 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
369 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
370 the hash table. (#319232)
372 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
374 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
375 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
377 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
379 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
381 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
383 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
385 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
387 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
388 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
390 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
392 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
393 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
395 * glib/gunichartables.h:
397 * tests/casefold.txt:
398 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
399 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
402 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
404 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
405 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
408 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
409 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
410 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
411 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
413 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
415 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
416 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
418 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
420 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
422 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
423 (#316703, Mark Drago)
425 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
427 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
428 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
431 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
433 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
435 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
436 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
437 encodings like CP932.
439 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
441 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
443 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
444 of length 1. (#316309)
446 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
448 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
450 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
452 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
453 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
456 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
458 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
459 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
462 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
464 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
465 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
466 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
467 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
469 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
470 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
471 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
472 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
473 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
474 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
476 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
477 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
479 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
480 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
481 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
482 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
483 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
484 for the spawned console application).
486 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
488 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
490 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
491 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
493 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
494 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
496 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
498 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
499 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
501 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
502 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
503 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
504 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
505 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
506 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
508 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
509 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
510 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
511 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
514 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
518 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
520 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
522 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
525 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
527 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
529 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
531 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
532 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
533 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
534 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
535 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
536 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
537 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
540 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
541 g_spawn*() functions.
543 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
544 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
545 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
546 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
547 that take parameters in the system codepage.
549 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
550 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
551 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
552 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
553 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
554 need to have them permanently in the source.)
556 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
558 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
559 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
561 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
563 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
564 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
565 between signed and unsigned.
567 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
569 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
571 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
573 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
575 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
579 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
583 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
585 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
587 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
