3 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
4 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
7 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
9 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
11 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
12 of length 1. (#316309)
14 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
16 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
18 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
20 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
21 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
24 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
26 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
27 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
30 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
32 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
33 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
34 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
35 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
37 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
38 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
39 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
40 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
41 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
42 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
44 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
45 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
47 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
48 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
49 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
50 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
51 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
52 for the spawned console application).
54 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
56 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
58 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
59 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
61 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
62 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
64 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
66 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
67 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
69 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
70 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
71 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
72 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
73 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
74 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
76 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
77 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
78 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
79 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
82 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
86 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
88 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
90 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
93 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
95 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
97 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
99 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
100 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
101 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
102 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
103 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
104 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
105 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
108 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
109 g_spawn*() functions.
111 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
112 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
113 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
114 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
115 that take parameters in the system codepage.
117 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
118 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
119 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
120 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
121 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
122 need to have them permanently in the source.)
124 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
126 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
127 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
129 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
131 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
132 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
133 between signed and unsigned.
135 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
137 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
139 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
141 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
143 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
147 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
151 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
153 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
155 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
157 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
159 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
161 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
164 Optimise single-character insertions.
169 * tests/string-test.c:
170 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
172 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
174 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
176 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
177 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
179 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
181 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
182 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
183 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
184 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
185 Make use of these two throughout the code.
187 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
189 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
190 the child process and then simply return. This makes
191 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
192 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
194 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
195 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
197 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
198 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
200 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
201 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
202 in yet another section.
