34 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
35 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
37 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
39 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning

42 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
44 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
45 category value against multiple values.
47 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
49 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
51 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
53 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
55 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
56 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
58 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
60 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
61 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
63 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
65 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
66 in the LDADD for this test.
68 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
70 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
71 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
72 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
74 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
76 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
77 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
78 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
79 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
80 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
82 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
83 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
85 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
87 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
89 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
90 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
91 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
94 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
96 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
97 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
98 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
99 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
101 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
103 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
104 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
105 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
107 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
108 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
109 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
111 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
112 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
113 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
114 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
117 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
131 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
132 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
134 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
137 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
139 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
141 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
142 be used for poll rec lists.
144 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
145 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
146 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
147 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
148 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
149 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
151 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
153 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
154 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
156 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
157 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
159 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
161 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
163 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
165 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
166 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
169 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
171 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
172 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
174 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
176 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
177 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
178 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
179 the hash table. (#319232)
181 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
183 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
184 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
186 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
188 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
190 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
192 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
194 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
196 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
197 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
199 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
201 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
202 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
204 * glib/gunichartables.h:
206 * tests/casefold.txt:
207 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
208 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
211 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
213 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
214 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
217 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
218 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
219 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
220 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
222 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
224 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
225 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
227 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
229 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
231 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
232 (#316703, Mark Drago)
234 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
236 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
237 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
240 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
242 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
244 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
245 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
246 encodings like CP932.
248 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
250 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
252 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
253 of length 1. (#316309)
255 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
257 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
259 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
261 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
262 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
265 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
267 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
268 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
271 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
273 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
274 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
275 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
276 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
278 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
279 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
280 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
281 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
282 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
283 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
285 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
286 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
288 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
289 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
290 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
291 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
292 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
293 for the spawned console application).
295 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
297 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
299 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
300 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
302 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
303 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
305 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
307 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
308 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
310 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
311 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
312 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
313 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
314 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
315 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
317 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
318 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
319 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
320 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
323 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
327 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
329 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
331 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
334 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
336 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
338 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
340 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
341 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
342 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
343 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
344 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
345 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
346 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
349 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
350 g_spawn*() functions.
352 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
353 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
354 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
355 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
356 that take parameters in the system codepage.
358 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
359 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
360 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
361 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
362 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
363 need to have them permanently in the source.)
365 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
367 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
368 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
370 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
372 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
373 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
374 between signed and unsigned.
376 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
378 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
380 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
382 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
384 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
388 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
392 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
394 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
396 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
398 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
400 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
402 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
405 Optimise single-character insertions.
410 * tests/string-test.c:
411 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
413 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
415 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
417 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
418 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
420 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
422 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
423 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
424 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
425 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
426 Make use of these two throughout the code.
428 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
430 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
431 the child process and then simply return. This makes
432 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
433 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
435 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
436 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
438 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
439 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
441 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
442 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
443 in yet another section.
