3 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
4 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
7 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
9 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
11 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
12 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
15 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
17 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
19 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
20 of length 1. (#316309)
22 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
24 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
26 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
28 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
29 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
32 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
34 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
35 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
38 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
40 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
41 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
42 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
43 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
45 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
46 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
47 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
48 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
49 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
50 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
52 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
53 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
55 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
56 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
57 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
58 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
59 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
60 for the spawned console application).
62 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
64 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
66 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
67 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
69 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
70 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
72 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
74 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
75 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
77 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
78 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
79 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
80 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
81 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
82 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
84 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
85 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
86 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
87 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
90 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
94 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
96 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
98 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
101 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
103 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
105 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
107 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
108 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
109 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
110 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
111 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
112 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
113 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
116 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
117 g_spawn*() functions.
119 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
120 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
121 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
122 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
123 that take parameters in the system codepage.
125 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
126 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
127 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
128 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
129 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
130 need to have them permanently in the source.)
132 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
134 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
135 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
137 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
139 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
140 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
141 between signed and unsigned.
143 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
145 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
147 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
149 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
151 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
155 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
159 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
161 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
163 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
165 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
167 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
169 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
172 Optimise single-character insertions.
177 * tests/string-test.c:
178 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
180 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
182 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
184 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
185 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
187 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
189 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
190 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
191 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
192 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
193 Make use of these two throughout the code.
195 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
197 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
198 the child process and then simply return. This makes
199 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
200 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
202 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
203 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
205 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
206 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
208 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
209 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
210 in yet another section.
