Use FormatMessage to translate system error codes into textual messages.

[platform/upstream/glib.git] / ChangeLog.pre-2-0

1999-12-16  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gmodule/gmodule-win32.c: Use FormatMessage to translate system
        error codes into textual messages.

1999-11-25  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h (G_TRYLOCK): This of course should return TRUE in a
        program with a thread-disabled GLib.

1999-11-18  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: g_strjoin was missing.

1999-11-16  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * acconfig.h, config.h.win32.in, configure.in: Renamed
        GLIB_SIZEOF_PTHREAD_T to GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to reflect
        changed meaning.

        * configure.in: Cope with systems, that have a pthread_t type,
        that is not a pointer. Hint from Karl Nelson
        <kenelson@ece.ucdavis.edu>. Define GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to 4
        for Solaris. Cope with systems, that have no default mutex
        initialize, like obviously most DCE systems.

        * glib.h, gthread.c: Changed the prototype of thread_create and
        thread_self to return the system thread into provided memory
        instead of a return value. This is necessary, as HPUX has a
        pthread_t, that is bigger than the biggest integral type there.

        * gthread.c: system_thread is no longer a pointer, but an memory
        area of size GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD. Changed the
        zeroinitialization and the tests for zeroness accordingly.

1999-11-09  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Create docs/glib-config.1 from
        docs/glib-config.1.in. Makes 'make distcheck' happy (and me too).

        * glib-config.1: Removed from CVS, as it is a generated file.

1999-11-08  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Make the test for getpwuid_r work on newer AIX
        versions, too. Still works on Solaris and Linux. Patch from Craig
        Rodrigues <rodrigc@mediaone.net>.

1999-11-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_getlocale): Look at env vars LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE
        and LANG first. Some refinements to the sublanguage logic.

1999-11-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Add gwin32 object. Add rule to make .i
        (preprocessed source) files.

1999-11-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h
        * glib.def: Rename Win32-only functions from gwin_* to g_win32_*
        to match the GLib naming conventions.

        * gutils.c
        * gwin32.c
        * testglib.c
        * Makefile.am: Move the Win32-only functions to the new
        file gwin32.c

1999-10-31  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c (gwin_getlocale): New Win32-specific function, returns
        a Unixish current locale string (en, zh_TW etc).

        * glib.h: Declare it.

        * glib.def: Export it.

        * testglib.c: Test it.

        * gmessages.c (Win32: ensure_stdout_valid): Some improvements,
        make sure we don't call AllocConsole several times, which I think
        has happened.

Sun Oct 31 18:55:01 1999  ape@spacetec.no  (Asbjorn Pettersen)

        * gcache.c (g_cache_remove): Test if node is NULL.
        If not tested, GIMP's script-fu will crash. 

Sun Oct 17 18:11:40 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gdataset.c (g_data_set_internal): remove g_dataset_global_lock around
        destroy() notification here as well.

1999-10-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gdataset.c (g_datalist_clear_i): Avoid Freezing, when g_datalist
        is called recursivly. Reported by Ola Andersson <rand@ling.umu.se>.

Tue Oct 12 14:17:12 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: removed useless g_string(x) macro that cluttered the namespace
        and was just a poor wrapper around the cpp '#' symbol, use #x if you
        need to work around this.
        added new macro G_STRINGIFY(arg) that will convert arg to a string,
        no matter whether it contains macros or not.

1999-10-12  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * config.h.win32.in: Define the new GLIB_SIZEOF_* constants here,
        too.

        * glib.h: Small Win32 comments improvement.

Tue Oct 12 12:16:12 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmessages.c (g_printf_string_upper_bound): completly new implementation
        for printf string upper bounds calculation.
        we handle all glibc 2.1 format specifiers now, except for positional
        parameters (%nn$...) and wide char strings, plus some obscure upper
        case variants of the standard conversions. this fixes a lot of
        bugs in the old code, i.e.
        - NULL format strings
        - floats with exponents >+24
        - %G
        - precision specifications in general
        - negative field widths
        - %p for SIZEOF_VOID_P > 4 platforms
        we now issue warnigns in places where the old code would have
        caused buffer overruns anyways. warnings are suppressed when invoked
        from glogv(), to avoid infinite recursions if someone passes a log
        message that comes with really obscure format specifications.

Tue Oct 12 11:49:00 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstrfuncs.c: nuked old g_printf_string_upper_bound() version.

Tue Oct 12 03:34:40 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added GFloatIEEE754 and GDoubleIEEE754 unions to access sign,
        mantissa and exponent of IEEE floats and doubles (required by the new
        version of g_printf_string_upper_bound). the unions are endian specific,
        we handle G_LITTLE_ENDIAN and G_BIG_ENDIAN as of currently. ieee floats
        and doubles are supported (used for storage) by at least intel, ppc and
        sparc, reference:
        http://twister.ou.edu/workshop.docs/common-tools/numerical_comp_guide/ncg_math.doc.html
        
Mon Oct 11 18:01:49 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: added additional checks to figure sizes of size_t,
        ptrdiff_t and intmax_t (required by g_printf_string_upper_bound).

Wed Oct  6 12:44:23 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * configure.in: blah. use G_WITH_CYGWIN instead of G_HAVE_CYGWIN

1999-10-05  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h: (Win32) Drop the mapping of POSIX function names to the
        underscored versions, it's unnecessary after all. With MSVC we get
        them from oldnames.lib, with gcc-2.95 and mingw32 from
        -lmoldname-msvc. Add comment about what headers to include for
        prototypes.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Don't define WIN32 and NATIVE_WIN32.

        * gerror.c (g_on_error_query): (Win32) Slightly increased verbosity.

        * build-dll: Don't strip.

        * tests/string-test.c tests/dirname-test.c: Use G_OS_WIN32.

        * glib.def: Add g_thread_use_default_impl.

Sun Oct  3 19:46:55 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * configure.in: use G_HAVE_CYGWIN instead of G_OS_FEATURE_CYGWIN

Sun Oct  3 19:25:42 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * acconfig.h
        * configure.in
        * glibconfig.h.win32: G_OS_FOO #defines. I *think* I got the cygwin
        and beos stuff right, but I haven't tested it. The respective
        porters should fix any screwups

        * glib.h
        * gerror.c
        * gmain.c
        * gmessages.c
        * gscanner.c
        * gthread.c
        * gtimer.c
        * gutils.c
        * testglib.c: use G_OS stuff

Wed Sep 22 01:53:18 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (NULL): define NULL as (0L) if __cplusplus is defined, to
        avoid "ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in argument
        passing" errors upon NULL usage in C++ programs (gcc-2.95 is on crack
        for erroring out on this, instead of just issueing a warning).

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): use uncasted NULL again.
        
Fri Sep 17 10:24:45 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_compute_size) (g_mem_chunk_new): applied patch
        from Soeren Sandmann <sandmann@daimi.au.dk>, to force mem chunk's area
        sizes to be a multitiple of atom_size, and to eliminate the MAX_MEM_AREA
        restriction of 65536 bytes. we also catch cases where users pass an area
        size < atom size with a return_if_fail statement now (which is ok,
        because previously this lead to memory corruption anyways).

Thu Sep 16 13:19:54 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): add explicit (GTrashStack*) cast for NULL
        pointer to cure ANSI C++ error.

Mon Sep 13 23:25:59 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmessages.c (g_logv): in case we have to abort the program,
        debugging is enabled and we are not called recursively, try
        to abort with raise (SIGTRAP) first, so developers may ignore
        certain failure conditions during debugging stage.

Thu Aug 26 15:09:36 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * Makefile.am:
        * gmodule/Makefile.am:
        * gthread/Makefile.am: added --export-dynamic so we can load dynmic
        modules, (required, according to the libtool 1.3.3 docu).

1999-07-23  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * grand.c (g_rand_new): Use /dev/urandom, as it doesn't block,
        which /dev/random might do. Do not XOR the time, when getting the
        seed form /dev/urandom, as this is good itself. Prevent the
        initial seed from being zero, which causes the PRNG to produce
        only zeros. Hints from Colin Plumb <colin@pgp.com>.

1999-08-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_push): Add a cast.

        * gslist.c
        * glist.c: Make the inline functions static inline, and add
        separate extern wrappers. Not all compilers produce callable entry
        points for inline functions, even if gcc does.

Sun Aug 15 02:47:14 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): eliminate memset() call, since string.h
        has not neccessarily been included prior to glib.h.

Mon Aug  2 21:03:10 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: added --enable-msg-prefix option.

        * gmessages.c (g_log_default_handler): feature "prg_name (pid:%u): "
        if --enable-msg-prefix was selected (use "(process:%u): " if
        g_get_prgname () returns NULL, along the lines of g_on_error_query).

1999-08-03  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h
        * gstrfuncs.c
        * tests/strfunc-test.c: Rename g_strccpy to g_strcompress and
        g_strecpy to g_strescape per Tim Janik's suggestion. Dropped the
        destination parameter, always g_malloc a new string.  Fix bug in
        g_strcompress, octal digits were gobbled up without limit, should
        use max three.

        Sources that use g_strescape must have ifdefs to be compilable
        both with GLib 1.2 and 1.3.

Sat Jul 31 17:52:03 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * glib.h
        * gstrfuncs.c: the #define for g_strescape interfered with the
        compilation of the function, so just remove the function and
        note that it's deprecated in the header

1999-08-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strccpy, g_strecpy): New functions.

        * glib.h: Declare and document them. Define the deprecated
        g_strescape as a macro that calls g_strecpy.

        * tests/strfunc-test.c (main): Test them.

        * makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in
        * tests/makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Remove gstack and its test
        program.

        * glib.def: Additions and removals.

        * README.win32: Improve gcc build instructions.

        * build-dll: Also build import library for MSVC.

Sat Jul 24 20:11:35 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * merged GLib 1.3.0 with glib-1.2.3 from Fri Jul 16 22:18:36.
        * incorporated proposed cleanups from gtk-devel-list.

        * bumped version number to GLib-1.3.1

        * glib.h:
        * gqueue.c:
        * gstring.c:
        * glist.c:
        removed string tokenisation (we got g_strsplit() and g_strjoin()
        already) and readline functions.
        s/g_list_delete/g_list_delete_link.
        implemented g_slist_delete_link.
        removed notion of g_ATEXIT() macro in glib.h, this is an *internal*
        macro, g_atexit() is provided for public consumption.
        added GTrashStack inline utility functions.
        reimplement double eneded queues.
        removed GStack implementation, people can use a queue or a (singly)
        linked list for this task.
        deprecated g_strescape(), we need the SunOS variants here.

        * gdate.c: added DEBUG_MSG() macro to wrap old messages.
        
        * *.*: CVS merges.

        * upgrade to libtool 1.3.3.

1999-07-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        Win32: With the latest gcc (2.95, pre-release), we can have binary
        compatibility with MSVC by using the switch -fnative-struct. No
        longer build DLLs with .gcc in the name when using gcc.

        * README.win32: Renew gcc build instructions.

        * build-dll: Comments change, handle also .a files.

        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in: Remove .gcc from DLL name.
        
1999-07-13  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Correct URL for mingw runtime sources.

        * build-dll: Combine commands with &&.

        * glib.h: Map also rmdir() and hypot() for MSVCRT library.

        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in: New DLL naming style. GCC-compiled DLLs are
        now called *.gcc.dll, to avoid binary incompatibilities with
        MSVC-compiled versions.

        * makefile.msc.in: Cosmetics.

1999-07-07  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Test for pthread_join rather than for
        pthread_create to determine the right thread-lib. Makes it work on
        mips-sgi-irix6.5. Hitn from to Jari Vuoksenranta
        <javu@piano.ux.phys.jyu.fi>.

1999-07-02  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Note about need to fix another bug in the mingw32
        headers.

        * makefile.msc.in: Debugging turned on via an nmake variable,
        no need to edit the makefile.

1999-07-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, acconfig.h, gutils.c: Added a g_memmove
        replacement for platforms without memmove, where bcopy can't
        handle overlapping copies and the corresponding checks, which is
        taken form the PERL Configure routine.

        * glib.h: Updated the commentary about g_memmove to be right and
        more GLib-like.
        
        * configure.in: Removed test for rand_r, as it isn't used anymore.

1999-06-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h, grand.c: Finally removed the g_random_normal and
        g_rand_normal functions.

1999-06-28  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add missing export of g_strncasecmp.

1999-06-21  Jose Mercado  <jmercado@mit.edu>

        * glib.spec.in: Changed version number (1.1->1.3) in files section
        to allow rpm to build packages again.

1999-06-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Update the pthreads snapshot version we want.
        Advice how to hand-expand the makefile.*.in files.

        * config.h.win32.in: Define values needed by Sebastian Wilhelmi's
        new thread stuff.

        * glib.def: Add new functions.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Update the pthreads snapshot version.
        Fix typo.

        * gthread.c: Include config.h, guard inclusion of unistd.h.  When
        using gcc on Win32, g_thread_functions_for_glib_use must be marked
        for export here, too.

        * gtimer.c: Implement g_usleep on native Win32 using Sleep (which
        only has millisecond granularity, though).
        
        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * makefile.msc.in: Update pthreads snapshot version. File
        name changes. Remove testgthread.

        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in
        * tests/makefile.msc.in: Add thread-test. Link with gthread lib.

1999-06-18  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * tests/Makefile.am:  Re-order tests in alpha order.

1999-06-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Changed test for pthread_attr_setstacksize from
        AC_TRY_COMPILE to AC_TRY_LINK.

1999-06-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, acglib.m4, acconfig.h, glib.h, gthread.c:
        Completed the thread support in GLib. Thread creation,
        prioritizing threads, yielding, joining threads as well as
        reader/writer locks and recursive mutexes are now in place. Please
        test heavily on your platform. It is so far tested on
        Linux/i386/pthreads, Solaris/Sparc/pthreads and
        Solaris/Sparc/solaristhreads.

        * gtimer.c, glib.h: Implement g_usleep (gulong microseconds) for
        thread safe sleeping. (sleep() is not MT-safe at all!)

        * gutils.c: Avoid compiler warning.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/thread-test.c: New program to test some
        aspects of the thread implementation.

        * gthread.c, Makefile.am: Renamed from gmutex.c to reflect the
        change of content.

        * configure.in: Purged all appearances of nspr. 

Wed Jun  2 11:42:46 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * acinclude.m4
        * config.guess
        * config.status
        * ltconfig
        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.3.2 (BeOS changes merged)

1999-05-29  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strescape): Backslashify also '"' characters.

        * glib.h: Document g_strescape.

1999-05-12  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h (Win32): Map fileno to _fileno for mingw32. Map fstat to
        _fstat.

        * README.win32: Advice also to remove -lmoldname in the
        patch to the egcs-1.1.2 spec file.

Wed May 12 00:23:55 CDT 1999 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * gmodule/Makefile.am: Another small fix.

1999-05-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Correct rules for making the
        win32-related files that are made from corresponding .in files.
        Is there a cleaner way than explicitly writing rules that invoke
        config.status?

Fri Jul 16 22:18:36 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * ltconfig
        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.3.3

1999-06-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gdate.c, gstrfuncs.c, gstring.c: Fixed the use of the
        is..... and to..... macros, which take unsigned chars, not chars!
        Thanks to Morten Welinder <terra@diku.dk> for pointing this out.

Thu Jun  3 16:30:31 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * gerror.c (g_on_error_query): check isatty() before querying so
        we don't loop endlessly

        * ltconfig
        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.3.2

1999-05-26  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmain.c: provide a poll prototype for SunOS, as they do not do
        it self. Hint from Christian Parg <cparg@fs-design.de>.

Tue May 25 12:23:07 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strchug): Use g_memmove() not memmove().

        * Released GLib 1.2.3

1999-05-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Correct rules for making the
        win32-related files that are made from corresponding .in files.
        Is there a cleaner way than explicitly writing rules that invoke
        config.status?

1999-04-30  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am: Don't distribute glibconfig.h.win32.in, but
        glibconfig.h.win32. Generate it when making a dist. Also generate
        makefile.msc and config.h.win32 from corresponding .in files when
        making dist.

        * configure.in: Also substitute @GLIB_INTERFACE_AGE@ and
        @GLIB_BINARY_AGE@ (needed in config.h.win32).
        
        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Use static mutex structure and initial
        value corresponding to the 1999-04-07 snapshot of pthreads-win32.

        * gstrfuncs.c: minor code cleanups.

Tue Apr 27 13:11:29 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_poll): Mask out ERR HUP and NVAL from
        the events field so we don't give IRIX fits.

Tue Apr 20 08:42:22 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): behave conservative with
        G_TOKEN_IDENTIFIER_NULL and always assume scanner->value.v_string
        to be "null" in that case.

1999-04-20  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gutils.c (g_vsnprintf):  When using the vsnprintf()
        implementation, '\0'-terminate the resulting string
        and return its length rather than -1.

Mon Apr 19 13:42:21 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_iterate): Added missing
        #ifdef G_THREADS_ENABLED. (I never liked G_THREADS_ENABLED in
        the first place!)

1999-04-18  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gutils.c (g_snprintf): When using the vsnprintf()
        implementation, '\0'-terminate the resulting string
        and return its length rather than -1.

Fri Apr 16 06:52:07 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): feature G_TOKEN_EOF as a valid
        expected token as well, so we get "- expected end of file" instead of
        "- expected (unknown) token <0>".

Tue Apr 13 16:16:14 CDT 1999 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * Released GLib 1.2.2

1999-04-12  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@mh69.mh.cuc.edu>

        * g_strchug(): s/strcpy/memmove/

1999-04-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Adjusted the test for an unimplemented
        getpwuid_r. Info from Michael Pruett <mikep@ugcs.caltech.edu>.

Sun Apr 11 15:07:34 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: bumped versin number to GLib 1.2.2, interface 2,
        binary 2.

Sat Apr 10 19:30:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: removed braces around inline strings for the G_GNUC_FUNCTION
        and G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION macros, so the macros can be used for compile
        time string concatenation.

Thu Apr  8 19:53:19 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_iterate): Check for two threads
        calling g_main_iterate at once.

        * gmain.c: If the set of poll file descriptors changes
        during a call to poll(), abort that call, and start
        a new poll. My test program still segfaults
        obscurely on glibc 2.0 (in read()!!!), but now it works on
        glibc 2.1, so I'll blame something else for the other segfault.

1999-03-31  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Fixed slight bug, that made configure hang on some
        systems. Please do not merge this into 1.3 branch. It's taken care
        of differently there. Info from J. Rhett Aultman
        <cuplan@alley.gator.net>

        so it can be used to e.g. pass a GPollFd.
        (g_main_poll): only add poll records with an events mask != 0 to the
        fd_array. don't even bother calling poll_func() if fds=timeout=0.
        added debugging printouts around poll_func() invokation that can be
        enabled with #define G_MAIN_POLL_DEBUG.

        (g_mem_chunk_print): 
        (g_mem_chunk_info): removed some extraneous "\n"s at the end of the log
        messages.

        g_return_if_fail() and added some extra ones to check relation != NULL.

1999-03-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Also accept _Pctime_r instead of ctime_r, while
        seraching for the right `_REENTRANT' flag. This is for Digital
        UNIX 4.0d. Thanks to Sascha Brawer <sb@adasys.ch>.

Tue Mar  9 23:25:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: check for working realloc (NULL,).
        * gmem.c (g_realloc): use malloc() for initial allocation on systems
        where realloc(NULL,) will not work (this is the case on SunOS, reported
        by Tom Geiger).

Mon Mar  8 07:42:08 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghook.c (g_hook_unref): when !hook_list->is_setup, wrap the
        flag around the call to g_hook_free() to avoid spurious
        warnings (happens during destruction phase).

        * acconfig.h, configure.in, config.h.win32: Added test for DCE
        versions of mutex_trylock and cond_timedwait. The win32 versions
        are posix, aren't they?

1999-03-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmem.c: Fixed a stupid cut'n'paste error of mine. Thanks to
        Friedrich Dominicus <Friedrich.Dominicus@inka.de>

1999-03-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Fixed yet another bloody
        implementation of getpwuid_r on AIX. Thanks to Olaf Dietsche
        <olaf.dietsche+list.gtk@netcologne.de>. I would like a configure
        test better than that, but have no idea, how to do that easily.

        to hold various defines to get the right thread implementation on
        different platforms. Also look in -ldce for pthread_create. Should
        make it work on HP-UX 10.x. Information from "D. Emilio Grimaldo
        Tunon" <emilio_tunon@nl.compuware.com>.

        * glib.h: added GLIB_CHECK_VERSION() macro similar to
        GTK_CHECK_VERSION().

Wed Mar 17 01:46:28 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * merges from glib-1-2:
        
Sun Mar 14 17:50:35 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements
        to g_return_if_fail().
        (g_mem_profile):
        (g_mem_chunk_print):
        (g_mem_chunk_info): removed some extraneous "\n"s at the end of the log
        messages.

        * gtimer.c (g_timer_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements
        to g_return_if_fail().
        * grel.c (g_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements to
        g_return_if_fail() and added some extra ones to check relation != NULL.

Tue Mar  9 23:25:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: check for working realloc (NULL,).
        * gmem.c (g_realloc): use malloc() for initial allocation on systems
        where realloc(NULL,) will not work (this is the case on SunOS, reported
        by Tom Geiger).

Mon Mar  8 07:42:08 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghook.c (g_hook_unref): when !hook_list->is_setup, wrap the
        flag around the call to g_hook_free() to avoid spurious
        warnings (happens during destruction phase).

1999-03-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmem.c: Fixed a stupid cut'n'paste error of mine. Thanks to
        Friedrich Dominicus <Friedrich.Dominicus@inka.de>

1999-03-16  Timur Bakeyev  <mc@bat.ru>

        * configure.in: Fix problem with pthread_create in libc, as running
        "gcc test.c -l " is not legal.

1999-03-16  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * tests/type-test.c: Added a test for the
        G_(U)?INT(16|32|64)_FORMAT and G_(MIN|MAX|MAXU)(SHORT|INT|LONG)
        macros.

        * configure.in: Removed G_(U)?INT8_FORMAT again, as it can't be
        used for scanf.

        * configure.in: Added the macros G_MAXU(SHORT|INT|LONG). I do not
        know how to handle these on platforms with /usr/include/values.h,
        but without /usr/include/limits.h. Please someone add this.


1999-03-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Added the macros G_(U)?INT(8|16|32|64)_FORMAT to
        use for printf and (much more important) scanf format strings for
        the corresponding GLib types. 

        * glib.h Added G_(U)?(SHORT|INT|LONG)_FORMAT for consistency. It
        however makes no sense to also provide G_(FLOAT|DOUBLE)_FORMAT, as
        they are different for printf (f for both) and scanf (f for float,
        lf for double). Defining G_INT_FORMAT makes sense however, as we
        might want to define gint to something different than int someday
        in the future. Idea from Sascha Brawer <sb@adasys.ch>.
        
1999-03-14  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * gdate.c:
        Commented out debugging output.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/date-test.c:
        Added test of the GDate module, based closely on testgdate.c.

        * tests/Makefile.am:
        Bugfix - compile tests with @GLIB_DEBUG_FLAGS@.

1999-03-14  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * configure.in (glibconfig.h): Remove widechar tests and defines.
        (fd_set): Change the grep for `fd_mask' to search for `fd_set'.
        * gerror.c (fd_mask): Remove conditional typedef.  It is not used
        elsewhere in the file.
        * gmain.c (fd_mask): Likewise.

1999-03-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Test for posix threads first, then for dce threads.

1999-03-11  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Revamped the thread configure stuff. Now dce
        threads (old posix draft) are recogniced. This is necessary,
        because dce threads are in fact working quite differently from
        posix threads. Also changed the conditions for checking for MT
        safe functions a bit, because G_THREADS_IMPL_NONE still have to
        compile thread safe. NOTE: Please do not commit my change to
        glib-1-2/{acconfig.h,configure.in,config.h.win32} from 1999-03-03,
        as the current change will take care of that too.

Tue Mar  9 14:37:32 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * Makefile.am, glib.h, gstack.c, gqueue.c,
          tests/Makefile.am, tests/queue-test.c, tests/stack-test.c:
        Added stack, queue ADTs and related tests.

        * glib.h, glist.c:
        New g_list_delete() function.

Sat Mar  6 11:03:08 1999  Asbjorn Pettersen  <ape@lrdpf.spacetec.no>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): add OS/2 changes.
        change '\\' in HOME to '/'.

1999-03-03  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@spin.dsl.pacbell.net>

        * glib.def: g_spaced_primes_closest was omitted here, so I
        couldn't build Xdelta on Windows.

1999-03-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Fixed yet another bloody
        implementation of getpwuid_r on AIX. Thanks to Olaf Dietsche
        <olaf.dietsche+list.gtk@netcologne.de>. I would like a configure
        test better than that, but have no idea, how to do that easily.

Sat Feb 27 01:18:47 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ChangeLog: moved old ChangeLog to ChangeLog.pre-1-2, and started
        new one.

        * configure.in: set glib version to 1.3.0.
