3 * glib/gmappedfile.c: Make mapping of empty files
6 * glib/gfileutils.c: Don't fork a new process just to
7 fix the permissions of the created temp file. (#321318,
10 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
12 * README.in: Add a note about Solaris threads.
15 * configure.in: Remove support for Solaris threads.

20 * configure.in: Define G_GUINT64_CONSTANT in analogy to
21 G_GINT64_CONSTANT. (#322568, Andrew Paprocki)
23 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
25 * glib/gslice.c: Win32 portability fixes and C99ism removal,
26 pointed out by Kazuki Iwamoto. (#323052)
28 2005-12-02 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
30 * glib/gatomic.c (g_atomic_int_add): Add a missing volatile for
31 the IA64 implementation.
33 Fri Dec 2 16:18:09 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
35 * glib/gslice.c: some naming and type size fixups.
37 Fri Dec 2 13:08:58 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
39 * glib/gslice.h (g_slice_free): reworked GCC-specific type-safe macro
40 variant into something less verbose, but digestible for gcc-3.4.
42 Fri Dec 2 10:55:07 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
44 * tests/slice-test.c: extended to perform the benchmarking on the old
45 memchunk code if 'O' is selected.
47 * tests/memchunks.c: new file which contains the old GLib mem chunks
48 implementation with prefix old_mem_chunk_.
50 * tests/Makefile.am: added memchunks.c
52 Fri Dec 2 00:16:59 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
54 * glib/gslice.c: improved gettimeofday() timer resolution by maintaining
55 acceptable load distribution of the syscall.
56 (allocator_get_magazine_threshold): reduce minimum/single-thread magazine
57 sizes to approximately page_size/2.5 to avoid excessive startup allocations.
59 2005-12-01 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
61 * tests/gobject/ifacecheck.c (test_iface_base_init): Don't
62 double-free base interface members.
64 * tests/Makefile.am: Remove duplicate variable.
66 Thu Dec 1 17:32:46 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
68 * glib/gslice.[hc]: new slice allocator implementation.
70 * tests/slice-test.c: added random slice allocation test.
72 * glib/gthread.[hc]: removed newly added private thread mem API.
77 * glib/gmem.c: divided glib threading initialisation into three phases,
78 initialisation where private keys and messaging are not available (only
79 needed by gmem.c), initialisation without messaging but private keys
80 available (gslice.c, gmessage.c), and full fledged initialisers that
81 server the rest of glib. initialisation functions got renamed to reflect
82 the limitations of their corresponding phases.
84 * glib/gmem.c: removed memchunk code, defer allocations to
87 * glib/gmem.[hc]: removed g_slice_* skeletons.
89 * glib/glib.symbols: added g_slice_* symbols.
91 * configure.in: check for availability of posix_memalign(3), memalign(3)
94 * glib/Makefile.am: added gslice.[hc].
96 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
98 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
99 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
100 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
101 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
102 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
104 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
105 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
107 2005-11-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
109 Fix G_STMT_START / G_STMT_END on Solaris. (#321972,
112 * configure.in: Check whether do { } while (0) works.
114 * glib/gmacros.h: Use do { } while (0) for G_STMT_START /
115 G_STMT_END if it works.

123 (g_hash_table_foreach_remove_or_steal): Silence compiler
126 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
128 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
129 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
131 Wed Nov 23 17:34:01 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
133 * glib/gdataset.c: access datalist flags via atomic pointer access
134 functions, instead of acquiring the dataset lock. this is faster and
135 also matches the atomic pointer readouts in gdatalistprivate.h and
136 direct pointer modifications required by gobject.c.
138 Wed Nov 23 13:35:31 2005 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
140 * glib/gdataset.c: streamlined initialization code somewhat,
141 removed GData node cache.
143 2005-11-22 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
145 * glib/ghash.c (g_hash_table_ref):
146 (g_hash_table_unref): Mark these as new API.
148 Avoid double locking in g_intern_string (#322133,
151 * glib/gdataset.c (g_quark_from_string_internal): New
152 internal function which factors out common parts of
153 g_quark_from[_static]_string.
154 (g_quark_from_string, g_quark_from_static_string):
155 Use g_quark_from_string_internal.
156 (g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string): Use
157 g_quark_from_string_internal, and only take the
159 (g_quark_new): Don't store the strings shifted by -1
160 in the g_quarks array.
161 (g_quark_to_string): Adapt to the previous change.
163 Tue Nov 22 14:04:26 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
167 g_hash_table_new_full(): create hash tables with a ref count of 1.
168 g_hash_table_ref(): atomically ref_count+=1
169 g_hash_table_unref(): atomically ref_count-=1, destroys hash table
170 when refcount reaches 0.
171 g_hash_table_destroy(): just destroy keys and values, unref by 1.
172 g_hash_table_insert():
173 g_hash_table_replace(): assert ref_count>0.
176 * glib/gatomic.c: added 'volatile' qualifier to all atomic pointer and
179 2005-11-20 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
181 * glib/guniprop.c (g_unichar_get_mirror_char): Remove unused
182 variables. (#321984, Andrew Paprocki)
184 2005-11-18 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

201 * README.in: Updates.
205 * glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
206 (g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
207 a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
208 (g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
211 * tests/utf8-pointer.c: Unit tests for g_utf8_pointer_to_offset
212 and g_utf8_offset_to_pointer.
214 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_pointer_to_offset)
215 (g_utf8_offset_to_pointer): Handle negative offsets, and use
216 "stutter stepping" for going backwards. (#320638, Larry
221 * glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
222 by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
224 2005-11-16 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
226 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml: Correct typo on mentioning
227 @G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN that should be #G_UNICODE_BREAK_UNKNOWN.
229 2005-11-09 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
231 * glib/guniprop.c: Use bit hacks instead when checking a general
232 category value against multiple values.
234 * glib/gutf8.c: Change ISO10646 to Unicode in docs.
236 2005-11-10 Simos Xenitellis <simos@gnome.org>
238 * configure.in: Added tt (Tatar) to ALL_LINGUAS.
240 2005-11-05 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
242 * glib/giowin32.c (g_io_win32_set_flags): Don't call g_warning().
243 (#320688) Instead set error and return failure.
245 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
247 * glib/gmain.c (g_main_dispatch): Don't call cb_funcs->unref
248 while holding the context lock. (#320886, Andy Wingo)
250 2005-11-07 Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>
252 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
253 in the LDADD for this test.
255 2005-11-07 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
257 * glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
258 nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
259 GLib 2.9. (#320755, Luca Ferretti)
261 2005-11-04 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
263 * glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to
264 use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
265 * glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
266 * glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.
267 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Don't generate the mirroring
269 * glib/glib-mirroring-tab/*: Sources for the program
270 which generated gmirroringtable.h.
272 * glib/glist.c: Avoid some code duplication.
274 * glib/gscanner.h: Include gdataset.h. (#320322)
276 * glib/gdebug.h: add new GDebugFlag for fatal_criticals
277 * glib/gmessages.c: (_g_debug_init): handle G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals,
278 to help find critical warnings in applications. (#320017,
281 2005-11-02 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
283 * glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
284 from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
285 g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
286 purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.
288 Tue Nov 1 16:24:20 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
290 * glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
291 added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
292 an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.
294 * glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
295 changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
296 of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
298 _g_thread_mem_private_get():
299 _g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
300 needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
301 and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.
304 g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.
318 removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
319 use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
321 * glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.
324 * glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.
326 * glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.
328 * glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
329 be used for poll rec lists.
331 * glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
332 g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
333 this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
334 g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
335 all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
336 in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.
338 2005-10-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
340 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
341 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
343 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
344 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
346 2005-10-27 Erdal Ronahi <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>
348 * configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS
350 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
352 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
353 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
356 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
358 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
359 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
361 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
363 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
364 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
365 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
366 the hash table. (#319232)
368 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
370 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
371 all-zero sequences correctly. (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)
373 2005-10-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
375 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition
377 * Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.
379 * tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.
381 * tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.
383 * tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
384 it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().
386 2005-10-01 Behdad Esfahbod <behdad@gnome.org>
388 * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
389 * glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
391 * glib/gunichartables.h:
393 * tests/casefold.txt:
394 * tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1. There are five new
395 GUnicodeBreakType types. That may break some applications, like
398 2005-09-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
400 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the
401 docs. (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)
404 * glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
405 they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
406 use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the
407 release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)
409 Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
411 * glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
412 complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.
414 * tests/patterntest.c: more tests, mostly from matthias.
416 2005-09-20 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
418 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
419 (#316703, Mark Drago)
421 Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005 Tim Janik <timj@imendio.com>
423 * glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
424 upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
427 * tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.
429 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
431 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
432 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
433 encodings like CP932.
435 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
437 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
439 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
440 of length 1. (#316309)
442 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
444 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
446 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
448 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
449 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
452 2005-09-11 Kjartan Maraas <kmaraas@gnome.org>
454 * glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
455 (child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
458 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
460 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
461 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
462 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
463 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
465 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
466 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
467 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
468 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
469 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
470 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
472 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
473 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
475 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
476 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
477 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
478 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
479 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
480 for the spawned console application).
482 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
484 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
486 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
487 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
489 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
490 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
492 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
494 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
495 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
497 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
498 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
499 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
500 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
501 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
502 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
504 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
505 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
506 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
507 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
510 2005-08-31 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
514 * glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.
516 2005-08-28 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
518 * glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
521 2005-08-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
523 * configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0
525 2005-08-25 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
527 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
528 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
529 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
530 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
531 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
532 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
533 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
536 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
537 g_spawn*() functions.
539 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
540 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
541 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
542 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
543 that take parameters in the system codepage.
545 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
546 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
547 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
548 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
549 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
550 need to have them permanently in the source.)
552 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
554 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
555 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
557 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
559 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
560 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
561 between signed and unsigned.
563 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
565 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
567 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
569 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.
571 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
575 * === Released 2.8.1 ===
579 2005-08-20 Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>
581 * glib/makefile.msc.in : link with ws2_32.lib
583 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
585 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>
587 * glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.
