3 * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to
4 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
7 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
9 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
12 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.

17 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
18 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
20 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
22 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
23 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
25 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
27 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
28 the IA64 implementation.
30 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
32 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
34 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
36 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
37 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
39 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
41 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
42 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
44 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
45 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
47 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
49 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
51 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
52 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
53 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
54 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
56 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
58 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
59 double-free base interface members.
61 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
63 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
65 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
67 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
69 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
74 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
75 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
76 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
77 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
78 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
79 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
81 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
84 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
86 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
88 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
91 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
93 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
95 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
96 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
97 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
98 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
99 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
101 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
102 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
104 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
106 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
109 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
111 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
112 G_STMT_END if it works.
114 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

120 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
123 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
125 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
126 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
128 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
130 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
131 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
132 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
133 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
135 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
137 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
138 removed GData node cache.
140 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
142 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
143 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
145 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
148 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
149 internal function which factors out common parts of
150 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
151 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
152 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
153 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
154 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
156 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
157 in the g_quarks array.
158 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
160 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
164 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
165 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
166 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
167 when refcount reaches 0.
168 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
169 g_hash_table_insert():
170 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
173 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
176 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
178 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
179 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
181 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

198 * README.in: Updates.
202 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
203 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
204 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
205 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
208 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
209 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
211 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
212 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
213 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
218 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
219 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
221 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
223 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
224 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
226 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
228 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
229 category value against multiple values.
231 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
233 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
235 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
237 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
239 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
240 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
242 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
244 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
245 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
247 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
249 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
250 in the LDADD for this test.
252 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
254 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
255 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
256 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
258 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
260 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
261 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
262 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
263 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
264 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
266 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
267 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
269 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
271 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
273 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
274 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
275 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
278 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
280 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
281 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
282 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
283 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
285 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
287 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
288 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
289 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
291 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
292 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
293 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
295 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
296 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
297 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
298 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
301 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
315 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
316 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
318 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
321 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
323 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
325 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
326 be used for poll rec lists.
328 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
329 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
330 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
331 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
332 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
333 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
335 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
337 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
338 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
340 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
341 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
343 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
345 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
347 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
349 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
350 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
353 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
355 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
356 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
358 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
360 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
361 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
362 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
363 the hash table. (#319232)
365 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
367 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
368 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
370 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
372 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
374 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
376 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
378 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
380 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
381 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
383 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
385 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
386 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
388 * glib/gunichartables.h:
390 * tests/casefold.txt:
391 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
392 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
395 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
397 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
398 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
401 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
402 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
403 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
404 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
406 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
408 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
409 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
411 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
413 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
415 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
416 (#316703, Mark Drago)
418 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
420 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
421 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
424 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
426 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
428 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
429 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
430 encodings like CP932.
432 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
434 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
436 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
437 of length 1. (#316309)
439 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
441 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
443 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
445 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
446 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
449 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
451 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
452 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
455 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
457 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
458 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
459 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
460 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
462 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
463 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
464 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
465 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
466 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
467 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
469 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
470 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
472 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
473 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
474 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
475 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
476 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
477 for the spawned console application).
479 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
481 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
483 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
484 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
486 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
487 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
489 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
491 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
492 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
494 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
495 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
496 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
497 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
498 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
499 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
501 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
502 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
503 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
504 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
507 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
511 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
513 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
515 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
518 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
520 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
522 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
524 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
525 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
526 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
527 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
528 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
529 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
530 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
533 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
534 g_spawn*() functions.
536 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
537 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
538 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
539 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
540 that take parameters in the system codepage.
542 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
543 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
544 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
545 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
546 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
547 need to have them permanently in the source.)
549 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
551 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
552 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
554 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
556 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
557 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
558 between signed and unsigned.
560 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
562 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
564 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
566 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
568 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
572 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
576 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
578 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
580 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
582 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
584 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
586 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
589 Optimise single-character insertions.
