5 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
6 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
7 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
8 when refcount reaches 0.
9 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
10 g_hash_table_insert():
11 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.

52 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
53 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
54 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
59 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
60 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
62 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
64 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

67 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
69 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
70 category value against multiple values.

78 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
80 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
81 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
83 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
85 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
86 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
88 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
90 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
91 in the LDADD for this test.
93 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
95 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
96 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
97 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
99 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
101 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
102 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
103 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
104 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
105 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
107 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
108 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
110 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
112 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
114 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
115 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
116 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
119 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
121 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
122 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
123 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
124 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
126 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
128 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
129 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
130 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
132 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
133 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
134 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
136 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
137 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
138 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
139 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
142 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
156 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
157 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
159 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
162 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
164 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
166 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
167 be used for poll rec lists.
169 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
170 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
171 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
172 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
173 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
174 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
176 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
178 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
179 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
181 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
182 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
184 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
186 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
188 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
190 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
191 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
194 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
196 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
197 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
199 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
201 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
202 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
203 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
204 the hash table. (#319232)
206 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
208 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
209 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
211 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
213 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
215 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
217 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
219 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
221 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
222 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
224 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
226 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
227 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
229 * glib/gunichartables.h:
231 * tests/casefold.txt:
232 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
233 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
236 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
238 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
239 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
242 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
243 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
244 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
245 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
247 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
249 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
250 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
252 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
254 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
256 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
257 (#316703, Mark Drago)
259 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
261 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
262 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
265 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
267 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
269 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
270 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
271 encodings like CP932.
273 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
275 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
277 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
278 of length 1. (#316309)
280 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
282 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
284 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
286 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
287 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
290 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
292 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
293 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
296 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
298 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
299 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
300 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
301 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
303 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
304 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
305 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
306 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
307 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
308 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
310 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
311 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
313 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
314 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
315 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
316 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
317 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
318 for the spawned console application).
320 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
322 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
324 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
325 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
327 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
328 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
330 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
332 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
333 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
335 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
336 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
337 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
338 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
339 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
340 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
342 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
343 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
344 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
345 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
348 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
352 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
354 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
356 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
359 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
361 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
363 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
365 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
366 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
367 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
368 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
369 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
370 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
371 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
374 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
375 g_spawn*() functions.
377 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
378 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
379 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
380 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
381 that take parameters in the system codepage.
383 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
384 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
385 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
386 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
387 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
388 need to have them permanently in the source.)
390 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
392 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
393 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
395 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
397 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
398 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
399 between signed and unsigned.
401 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
403 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
405 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
407 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
409 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
413 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
417 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
419 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
421 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
423 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
425 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
427 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
430 Optimise single-character insertions.
435 * tests/string-test.c:
436 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
438 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
440 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
442 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
443 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
445 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
447 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
448 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
449 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
450 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
451 Make use of these two throughout the code.
453 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
455 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
456 the child process and then simply return. This makes
457 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
458 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
460 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
461 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
463 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
464 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
466 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
467 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
468 in yet another section.
