13 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
14 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
15 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
17 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
18 in the g_quarks array.
19 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
21 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>

70 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
72 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
73 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
74 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
79 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
80 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
82 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
84 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

87 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
89 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
90 category value against multiple values.

98 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
100 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
101 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
103 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
105 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
106 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
108 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
110 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
111 in the LDADD for this test.
113 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
115 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
116 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
117 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
119 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
121 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
122 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
123 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
124 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
125 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
127 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
128 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
130 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
132 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
134 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
135 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
136 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
139 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
141 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
142 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
143 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
144 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
146 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
148 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
149 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
150 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
152 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
153 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
154 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
156 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
157 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
158 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
159 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
162 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
176 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
177 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
179 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
182 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
184 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
186 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
187 be used for poll rec lists.
189 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
190 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
191 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
192 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
193 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
194 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
196 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
198 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
199 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
201 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
202 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
204 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
206 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
208 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
210 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
211 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
214 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
216 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
217 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
219 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
221 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
222 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
223 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
224 the hash table. (#319232)
226 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
228 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
229 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
231 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
233 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
235 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
237 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
239 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
241 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
242 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
244 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
246 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
247 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
249 * glib/gunichartables.h:
251 * tests/casefold.txt:
252 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
253 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
256 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
258 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
259 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
262 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
263 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
264 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
265 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
267 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
269 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
270 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
272 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
274 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
276 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
277 (#316703, Mark Drago)
279 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
281 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
282 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
285 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
287 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
289 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
290 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
291 encodings like CP932.
293 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
295 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
297 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
298 of length 1. (#316309)
300 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
302 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
304 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
306 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
307 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
310 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
312 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
313 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
316 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
318 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
319 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
320 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
321 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
323 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
324 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
325 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
326 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
327 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
328 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
330 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
331 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
333 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
334 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
335 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
336 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
337 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
338 for the spawned console application).
340 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
342 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
344 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
345 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
347 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
348 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
350 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
352 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
353 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
355 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
356 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
357 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
358 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
359 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
360 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
362 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
363 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
364 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
365 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
368 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
372 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
374 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
376 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
379 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
381 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
383 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
385 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
386 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
387 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
388 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
389 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
390 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
391 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
394 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
395 g_spawn*() functions.
397 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
398 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
399 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
400 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
401 that take parameters in the system codepage.
403 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
404 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
405 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
406 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
407 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
408 need to have them permanently in the source.)
410 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
412 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
413 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
415 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
417 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
418 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
419 between signed and unsigned.
421 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
423 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
425 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
427 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
429 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
433 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
437 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
439 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
441 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
443 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
445 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
447 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
450 Optimise single-character insertions.
455 * tests/string-test.c:
456 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
458 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
460 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
462 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
463 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
465 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
467 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
468 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
469 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
470 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
471 Make use of these two throughout the code.
473 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
475 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
476 the child process and then simply return. This makes
477 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
478 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
480 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
481 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
483 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
484 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
486 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
487 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
488 in yet another section.
