7 * === Released 2.9.0 ===
9 * glib/glib.symbols: Updates
11 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Add some performance
12 hints to the docs. (Paolo Borelli)

22 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
23 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from

25 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
28 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
29 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
31 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
32 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
33 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
38 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
39 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
41 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
43 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
44 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
46 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
48 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
49 category value against multiple values.
51 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
53 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
55 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
57 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
59 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
60 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
62 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
64 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
65 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
67 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
69 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
70 in the LDADD for this test.
72 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
74 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
75 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
76 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
78 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
80 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
81 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
82 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
83 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
84 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
86 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
87 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
89 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
91 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
93 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
94 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
95 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
98 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
100 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
101 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
102 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
103 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
105 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
107 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
108 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
109 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
111 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
112 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
113 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
115 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
116 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
117 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
118 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
121 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
135 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
136 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
138 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
141 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
143 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
145 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
146 be used for poll rec lists.
148 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
149 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
150 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
151 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
152 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
153 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
155 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
157 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
158 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
160 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
161 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
163 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
165 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
167 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
169 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
170 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
173 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
175 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
176 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
178 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
180 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
181 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
182 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
183 the hash table. (#319232)
185 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
187 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
188 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
190 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
192 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
194 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
196 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
198 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
200 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
201 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
203 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
205 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
206 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
208 * glib/gunichartables.h:
210 * tests/casefold.txt:
211 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
212 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
215 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
217 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
218 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
221 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
222 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
223 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
224 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
226 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
228 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
229 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
231 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
233 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
235 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
236 (#316703, Mark Drago)
238 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
240 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
241 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
244 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
246 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
248 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
249 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
250 encodings like CP932.
252 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
254 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
256 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
257 of length 1. (#316309)
259 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
261 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
263 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
265 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
266 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
269 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
271 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
272 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
275 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
277 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
278 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
279 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
280 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
282 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
283 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
284 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
285 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
286 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
287 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
289 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
290 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
292 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
293 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
294 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
295 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
296 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
297 for the spawned console application).
299 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
301 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
303 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
304 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
306 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
307 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
309 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
311 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
312 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
314 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
315 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
316 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
317 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
318 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
319 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
321 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
322 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
323 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
324 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
327 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
331 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
333 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
335 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
338 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
340 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
342 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
344 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
345 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
346 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
347 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
348 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
349 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
350 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
353 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
354 g_spawn*() functions.
356 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
357 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
358 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
359 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
360 that take parameters in the system codepage.
362 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
363 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
364 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
365 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
366 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
367 need to have them permanently in the source.)
369 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
371 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
372 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
374 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
376 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
377 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
378 between signed and unsigned.
380 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
382 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
384 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
386 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
388 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
392 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
396 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
398 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
400 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
402 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
404 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
406 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
409 Optimise single-character insertions.
414 * tests/string-test.c:
415 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
417 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
419 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
421 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
422 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
424 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
426 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
427 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
428 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
429 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
430 Make use of these two throughout the code.
432 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
434 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
435 the child process and then simply return. This makes
436 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
437 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
439 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
440 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
442 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
443 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
445 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
446 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
447 in yet another section.
