Make a bit more standalone by adding include of gerror.h. #54543.

[platform/upstream/glib.git] / ChangeLog.pre-2-8

Mon Jun  4 15:59:15 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gunicode.h: Make a bit more standalone by adding include
        of gerror.h. #54543.
        
        * gunicode.h: Change size_t to g_size. (Ugh)

2001-05-31  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * grand.h (g_random_boolean, g_rand_boolean): Fix to stupid bug in
        g_random_boolean, also both functions now return 1 or 0 instead of
        1<<15 or 0.

        * tests/rand-test.c: Extended testcases.

        * configure.in: Remove G_HAVE_ISO_CXX_VARARGS and
        G_HAVE_ISO_C_VARARGS and define G_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS directly
        guarded by #if(n)def __cplusplus.

2001-05-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread-2.0.pc.in: Add @G_THREAD_CFLAGS@ to Cflags.

Tue May 29 18:17:11 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * autogen.sh (have_libtool): Fix GNU sedism

2001-05-29  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/qsort-test.c: Add test case for the
        g_qsort_with_data func. It works. This fixes bug #52605.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/cxx-test.C: Now that we check for a C++
        compiler in configure.in anyway, I added a test, that the GLib
        headers can be inclued into a C++ program. This fixes bug #52605.

        * configure.in: Don't bail out, if no C++ compiler is
        found. Define G_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS only if appropriate.

        * gmessages.h: Thus we can revert the previous patch.

2001-05-29  James Henstridge  <james@daa.com.au>

        * gmessages.h: "#ifdef G_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS" will always succeed
        even when we don't have ISO vararg support.  Changed to
        "#if G_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS".

Mon May 28 11:40:34 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Check for __VARARGS__ separately for C and C++.

2001-05-28  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Fix typo.

Sun May 27 05:09:18 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmain.c (g_main_context_prepare): unlock context when bailing
        out with a warning.
        (g_main_context_check): same here.

        * gmain.c (g_main_context_check): before returning due to
        changed pollfds, unlock context.
        
Thu May 24 21:24:16 CEST 2001 Paolo Molaro <lupus@ximian.com>

        * gmarkup.c: back out change by mitch@convergence.de and apply patch in
        bug id #52067 that fixes the same problem in a more complete manner.
        This fixes also a segfault for a malformed XML file and adds a new
        test case.

2001-05-24  Hans Breuer  <hans@breuer.org>

        * grel.c : reflect renaming of g_string_sprintfa to g_string_printfa

        * makefile.msc.in : create an additional static lib to be used from
        (at least) glib-genmarshal

2001-05-23  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * garray.c (g_array_remove_index_fast): Tiny speed improvement
        suggested by noon@users.sourceforge.net.

2001-05-22  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * config.h.win32.in: Removed POSIX_*. Defined G_THREAD_SOURCE to
        "gthread-win32.c".

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Define G_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS for gcc, don't
        know about MSC. Define G_THREADS_IMPL_WIN32 instead of
        G_THREADS_IMPL_POSIX and define the right static mutex macros and
        types.

        * glib.def: g_thread_create renamed to g_thread_create_full.

        * gthread.c: memcpy is not necessary here. We can simply use
        struct assignment.

        * gmessages.c: Fix compilation error on win32. Added
        GFileDescriptor, wich is gint on Unix and FILE* on win32.

2001-05-21  Andrew Lanoix <alanoix@umich.edu>

        *giowin32.c: G_IO_WIN32_WINDOWS_MESSAGES channels
        not handled correctly in g_io_win32_check()

Sun May 20 10:47:47 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Fix some problems in writing out varargs
        tests in configure.in

Fri May 18 10:52:23 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in gmessages.h: Use compile checks for ISO C99 and GNU
        extension varargs macros syntax and store result in glibconfig.h
        (G_HAVE_ISO_VARARGS, G_HAVE_GNUC_VARARGS) rather than relying
        on checking predefined macros.

2001-05-18  Michael Natterer  <mitch@convergence.de>

        * gmarkup.c: don't g_strdup()/g_free() all parsed attributes and
        their values twice but simply copy the string pointers from the
        GMarkupAttribute struct to the string arrays before passing them
        to start_element().

2001-05-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.c, gthread.h: Renamed g_thread_create to
        g_thread_create_full and added macro g_thread_create, which omits
        'stack_size', 'bound' and 'priority' parameters. Also removed
        'bound' from GThread struct.

        * gthreadpool.h, gthreadpool.c: Adapted GThreadPool to the above
        changes. GThreadPool lost the 'priority' and 'bound'
        members. g_thread_pool_new the 'stack_size', 'bound' and
        'priority' parameters.

        * tests/mainloop-test.c, tests/thread-test.c,
        tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapted to the above changes.

        * gmem.c (g_mem_profile): Fixed mutex deadlock.

2001-05-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * makefile.mingw.in: Add gpattern.o to objects.

        * glib.def: Export g_thread_exit as well.

        * Makefile.am: Fix BUILT_EXTRA_DIST exporting.

Sun May 13 10:31:17 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib/Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gmodule/Makefile.am:
        Add inter-library dependencies.

        * acinclude.m4: Remove libtool macros.

        * autogen.sh: Require libtool-1.4, automake-1.4p1.

2001-05-15  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): m4macros/Makefile

        * m4macros/Makefile.am, m4macros/glib-2.0.m4,
        m4macros/glib-gettext.m4:
        m4 files moved here on server, Makefile.am added
         
        This is so you can aclocal -I m4macros while avoiding acinclude.m4

        * Makefile.am: add m4macros subdir, remove references to glib-2.0.m4

2001-05-14  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gutf8.c (g_utf8_get_char): fix docs; they said we validated 
        the UTF-8, but we can't possibly detect partial chars since
        there's no length arg here, so trying to use this function 
        on invalid UTF-8 is a bad idea.

Thu May 10 23:21:30 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmessages.c (g_log_write_prefix): Avoid using stdio
        to be as robust as possible in out-of-memory.

        * gmessages.c (g_log_default_handler): Remove some dead
        code.

        * gutils.c (g_parse_debug_string): Fix to avoid mallocs.

Fri May 11 18:25:23 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gdataset.c:
        (g_dataset_foreach):
        (g_datalist_foreach): make these safe against removal of the
        current element.

2001-05-10  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gmessages.c (g_log_write_prefix): change env variable to
        G_MESSAGES_PREFIXED, suggested by Tim

Thu May 10 15:19:01 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_key_hash): use g_str_hash() algorithm
        to generate hashes.

        * gmem.c (standard_calloc): free() doesn't return a value
        (Mark Murnane).

2001-04-26  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Get rid of --enable-msg-prefix

        * gmessages.c: make whether to prefix the messages with
        appname/pid a runtime setting, not a compile-time setting.  Change
        default to include prefix for debug/warning/error type messages.

2001-05-09  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.c, gthread.h: Renamed 'value' and 'arg' to 'data' and
        'thread_func' to 'func' to make it more consistent with the rest
        of GLib.

        * gthreadpool.c, gthreadpool.h: Moved 'stack_size' from the public
        members of GThreadPool to the private ones. Renamed 'thread_func'
        to 'func' as above. Moved up 'user_data' in g_thead_pool_new
        argument list and in GThreadPool struct.
        
Tue May  8 15:33:31 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gcompletion.h: removed #include <unistd.h> sneaked in by
        sopwith in november.

2001-05-08  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmain.c, gthread.c, gthread.h: Moved func and arg members from
        GRealThread to GThread, such that they can be accessed by the
        user.

        * gthread.c, gthread.h: Due to popular demand (Tim being the
        populus here ;-) threads now have a 'return value', which is
        returned by g_thread_join and is either the return of the topmost
        thread function or the value given to g_thread_exit.
        
        * gthreadpool.c, tests/mainloop-test.c, tests/thread-test.c:
        Adapted to the above change.

2001-01-06  Hans Breuer  <hans@breuer.org>

        * glib.def : don't try to export g_strcpy, it is g_stpcpy;
        updated and added some tweaking for functions which got 
        renamed recently, to avoid the update hassle if it can 
        simply be done compatible. Should vanish if there is a 
        stable version for win32.

Fri May  4 11:49:18 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Released 1.3.5

        * NEWS: Updated

        * configure.in (GLIB_MICRO_VERSION): Up version to 1.3.5,
        interface/binary age 0.

2001-05-04  Sven Neumann  <sven@convergence.de>

        * ghash.c: fixed a typo in a comment.

        * gtree.[ch]: added new functions g_tree_new_full(), g_tree_replace(), 
        g_tree_steal() and g_tree_foreach() to adapt GTree to the GHashTable
        API. Moved comments into the C file.

        * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt
        * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/glib-unused.sgml
        * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/hash_tables.sgml
        * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_double.sgml
        * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/linked_lists_single.sgml
        * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/macros_misc.sgml
        * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/trees-binary.sgml: updated documentation
        
Thu May  3 06:38:28 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * g[s]list.c (g_[s]list_foreach) docs/Changes-2.0.txt: Make
        foreach() safe against removal of the _current_ element. While
        this could break some code, the new behavior is consistent with
        the rest of GLib/GTK+ and probably is what people expect in most
        cases. (Suggested by Paul Kuykendall, #50071)

Wed May  2 11:10:22 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4_fast): Fix read past end of the string.
        (#50404, fix from Jonas Borgström)
        
Sun Apr 29 00:37:34 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghook.[hc]: made hook ids a gulong.

2001-04-20  Dan Winship  <danw@ximian.com>

        * configure.in: Add a check for the Darwin dynamic linker. Use
        AC_TRY_LINK when checking for "nonposix getpwuid_r" so it notices
        "no getpwuid_r" correctly.

        * testglib.c (main): Make template[] bigger to prevent an overrun.
        Remove an unused variable. Initialize error to NULL.

        * tests/gio-test.c (main): Add a cast to prevent a warning when
        size_t is a long.

        * tests/type-test.c (main): Add an #ifdef to prevent a warning
        when G_HAVE_GINT64 is defined and G_GINT64_FORMAT isn't.

2001-04-19  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * ghash.c, ghash.h: Remove definition of g_hash_table_freeze and
        g_hash_table_thaw. Instead added G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED-guarded
        macros to ghash.h to go along the lines of the standard.

        * gscanner.c, gscanner.h: Dito for g_scanner_freeze_symbol_table
        and g_scanner_thaw_symbol_table.

        * gutils.c, gutils.h: Dito for g_dirname. g_basename is still
        defined in gutils.c, but declared ing gutils.h only
        G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED-guarded.
        
        * configure.in: Removed bashism in test for the pkg-config
        version.

        * configure.in: Rewrote test for multithread flag. Now uses
        localtime_r, which hopefully has a consistent prototype across
        different platforms. Also it uses a clever double EGREP trick
        instead of compiling, which could give false positives. Thanks to
        Dan Winship <danw@ximian.com> for the hint.

Wed Apr 18 17:35:38 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gutils.c (_glib_gettext): Add missing static pointed
        out by Michael Meeks.

Wed Apr 18 09:37:07 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * MAINTAINERS: Removed. Keeping README, README.cvs-commits
        HACKING, and AUTHORS up to date is plenty without extra
        random files that someone thought a module should have.
        (Actually, I believe this was used for debbugs in the past.)

Tue Apr 17 11:47:07 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Released 1.3.4

        * NEWS: Updated

Tue Apr 17 10:43:36 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gstrfuncs.c: Define _GNU_SOURCE for stpcpy

        * tests/mainloop-test.c (main): Wait for all threads
        to start before beginning tests.

2001-04-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_thread_proxy): Until now every
        thread pool always had at least one tread waiting to avoid
        switching overhead in case a new task would be added soon after
        one finished. This however means a big waste of threads, if many
        mostly inactive thread pools are involved. Now such a waiting
        thread will only wait for half a second (This value is of course
        very randomly picked) and go to the global threadpool afterwards.

Mon Apr 16 12:04:52 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Remove warnings about conflicts with the
        stable version.

        * glib-2.0.m4: Fix some of the error text to be halfway
        up to date.

        * README.in INSTALL.in: Add these to generate README, INSTAL
        (as in the stable branch). Update.

        * HACKING: Update.

2001-04-16  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gqsort.c: docs

        * gfileutils.c: docs

        * gwin32.c: docs fixes

        * gconvert.c: docs

        * guniprop.c: docs

        * gutf8.c: docs

2001-04-16  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * glib-2.0.m4: put AC_PATH_PROG(pkg-config) before "Checking for
        glib" so the output looks right 

2001-03-23  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gutils.c (g_parse_debug_string): make GDebugKeys argument 
        const

2001-04-14  Hans Breuer  <hans@breuer.org>

        * glib.def : 
        * makefile.msc.in : updated

        * gpattern.c : include "gutils.h" to resolve the inline hassle

2001-04-11  Alexander Larsson  <alexl@redhat.com>

        * glib-2.0.m4: Pass pkg-config options
        before the other args so it works even if
        POSIXLY_CORRECT is set.

Mon Apr  9 18:57:44 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: increment version to 1.3.4 (binary 0, interface 0).

2001-04-05  Christian Rose  <menthos@menthos.com>

        * configure.in: Added sv to ALL_LINGUAS.

Wed Apr  4 09:18:55 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * Released GLib-1.3.3.

Tue Apr  3 20:22:59 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * NEWS: updates.

        * NEWS.pre-1-3: take over old news.

Tue Apr  3 12:38:16 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib-config-2.0.in: Exit with an error message that you
        should use pkg-config instead.

        * configure.in (PACKAGE): Require pkg-config.

        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add utf8.txt.

        * configure.in (GLIB_MICRO_VERSION): Up MICRO to 3,
        leave interface/binary at 0.

Tue Apr  3 13:46:22 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glist.[hc]: added g_list_nth_prev() which walks ->prev instead
        of ->next.

        * gpattern.[hc]: added shell-style pattern matching code from beast,
        derived from the gtk_pattern_*() code, but with a couple of bug fixes
        and a number of optimizations.

2001-04-03  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthreadpool.c: Added documentation.

        * gthreadpool.c: The global thread pool now also is seperated for
        bound and unbound threads. Only threads with standard stack size
        go to the global pool. g_thread_pool_new now protects the global
        setup of inform_mutex etc. with a lock. Fixed some typos. Unlock
        the queue after g_thread_pool_wakeup_and_stop_all in the proxy.

2001-04-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmain.c: Use the new GRealThread member "context" instead of a
        GStaticPrivate to store the thread specific main loop context.

        * gthread.c: Added "context" member to GRealThread and updated
        g_thread_create, g_thread_self and g_thread_cleanup accordingly.
        
        * gthread.c, gthread.h: Removed the functions
        g_static_private_(get|set)_for_thread and adapted
        g_static_private_(get|set) and g_static_private_free
        accordingly. This fixes Bug #51435.
        
2001-03-30  Sven Neumann  <sven@gimp.org>

        * ghash.[ch]
        * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/hash_tables.sgml: added new functions
        g_hash_table_new_full, g_hash_table_replace, g_hash_table_steal and
        g_hash_table_foreach_steal. Moved most docs out of the template
        file into the C file. Please proofread the new documentation.

2001-03-29  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Updates.
        * tests/makefile.mingw.in
        * tests/makefile.msc.in: Add module-test rules.

Mon Mar 26 14:14:53 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED

        * gmain.h timeloop.c: Surround the cruftiest stuff with
        #ifndef G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED.

        * gcompat.h gdate.h: Move compat defines back to 
        gdate.h, surround with #ifndef G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED. 
        Remove gcompat.h.

Mon Mar 26 13:34:50 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        [ Patch from DindinX  <David.Odin@bigfoot.com>, added docs ]
 
        * gstrfuncs.c, gstrfuncs.h: Add g_stpcpy () for platform that don't
        have stpcpy ().
        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strjoin, g_strjoinv and g_strconcat): use
        g_stpcpy () so these functions run much faster.
        * config.h.win32.in, glib.def: add reference to g_stpcpy ()
        * configure.in: Add a test for the stpcpy () function.

        * tests/makefile.mingw.in (module-test.exe): Add rules for
        building module-test.

Wed Mar 14 18:46:54 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.[hc]: removed archaic gpointer derived_data; relict and
        added a GData member instead.
        
        * glist.[hc]: added g_list_remove_all().

Sat Mar 17 19:54:51 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * timeloop.c: Reorder headers to make FreeBSD happy. 

2001-03-13  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        From Edward M. Lee  <tailbert@yahoo.com>:

        * gdate.c (g_date_set_parse): add support for dates that in the
        form "Wed Mar 14 2001". Running testgdate on cygwin requires this.

Fri Mar  9 18:01:43 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.[hc]: made config arg to g_scanner_new() const.

2001-03-12  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * tests/Makefile.am (libmoduletestplugin_b_la_LIBADD,
        libmoduletestplugin_b_la_LIBADD): Link with the libgmodule la only
        on Win32.

2001-03-10  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Define G_PLATFORM_WIN32 here, too.

        * tests/Makefile.am: Use the _LIBADD dependency on libglib only on
        Win32.

2001-03-09  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Update with some information about using configure
        and libtool.

2001-03-09  Hans Breuer  <hans@breuer.org>

        * gobject/gobject.def : updated

2001-03-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def
        * gobject/gobject.def
        * gobject/makefile.mingw.in: Update.

        * gtree.[ch]: 
        * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/trees-binary.sgml: added new function 
        g_tree_lookup_extended().

Thu Mar  8 16:23:34 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghook.[hc]: destruction cleanup. there's one
        ->finalize_hook member in the hooklist now that gets
        called when a hook should be destroyed, that's it.
        that function is guarranteed to be called only when
        all ref_counts to the hook vanished, thus also when
        the hook is not in call.

2001-03-08  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in (FLAG_DOES_NOT_WORK): Fix typo and thus bug #51862.

2001-03-07  Christian Meyer  <chrisime@gnome.org>

        * configure.in: Added de (German) to ALL_LINGUAS.

2001-03-02  Christophe Merlet  <redfox@eikonex.org>

        * configure.in: Added fr (French) to ALL_LINGUAS.

2001-03-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c (g_path_is_absolute): (Win32) Remove test for initial
        double backslash (UNC path), this will of course be matched by the
        test for an initial G_DIR_SEPARATOR right up front. Silly me.
        (g_find_program_in_path): Implement on Win32. Append the
        executable file name suffixes from PATHEXT in turn while looking
        for the program.
        (g_find_program_in_path): If the program we are looking for is a
        relative path in a subdirectory, don't do any path search.
        (g_get_any_init): (Win32) Also look for the USERPROFILE env var
        indicating the home directory equivalent.
        (g_find_program_in_path): (Win32): Use MAXPATHLEN, not PATH_MAX
        which isn't defined with MSVC.

        * testglib.c (main): Test g_find_program_in_path() on Win32 by
        looking for more.com and regedit.

        * glib.def: Add g_find_program_in_path.

2001-02-26  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthreadpool.c (g_thread_pool_thread_proxy): Make
        max_unused_threads work for -1 as well.

2001-02-23  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.h (struct _GThread): Change the order to match the order
        in g_thread_create().

        * gthread.c (g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full): Also do the right
        thing (behave like 'depth' calls to g_static_rec_mutex_lock) for a
        mutex, that is already locked.

Thu Feb 22 10:31:36 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_source_remove_poll): Add missing implementation
        of g_source_remove_poll. (Pointed out by Stefan Westerfeld)

2001-02-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c (g_find_program_in_path): Implement on Win32.

        Cygwin support contributed by Stefan Ondrejicka
        <ondrej@idata.sk>. Hopefully I got it all in while simultaneously
        adding support for auto*/libtool for mingw.

        * Makefile.am: Changes for auto* support on Cygwin and Win32. Do
        still distribute the hand-written makefiles and *.win32.in files,
        though. Use GIO, GSPAWN and PLATFORMDEP macros set by configure.
        Use -no-undefined. Pass -export-symbols glib.def to libtool.
        
        * configure.in: Define G_PLATFORM_WIN32 on both pure Win32 (mingw)
        and Cygwin. Add AC_CYGWIN, AC_EXEEXT and AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL
        calls for Cygwin and mingw support.  Check for %I64u guint64
        format (in MS C library). Set G_MODULE_IMPL on mingw and
        Cygwin. Use ac_object and ac_exeext.  Set GIO, GSPAWN, PLATFORMDEP
        and G_LIBS_EXTRA. Compile timeloop only on Unix. Define OS_WIN32
        automake conditional on Win32.
        
        * glib.h: Include gwin32.h also on Cygwin.

        * gfileutils.c (get_contents_posix): Use O_BINARY (defined as 0 on
        Unix) for Cygwin's sake.

        * gtimer.c (GETTIME): Reduce #ifdefs, use a macro GETTIME().

        * gconvert.c
        * gthread.c
        * gutf8.c
        * gutils.c: For code needed both on Cygwin and native Win32,
        test for G_PLATFORM_WIN32.

        * gmarkup.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS.
        
        * gtypes.h: Refine GLIB_VAR definition. Also check for DLL_EXPORT
        in case compiling a static library on Win32 or Cygwin.

        * gwin32.c: No <direct.h> on Cygwin. No need for ftruncate() or
        dirent emulation on Cygwin.
        (get_package_directory_from_module) Convert return value from
        GetModuleFileName() to POSIX path on Cygwin.

        * tests/Makefile.am (progs_LDADD): Link with libglib, libgthread
        and libgmodule as appropriate. Use -no-undefined.

        * gbacktrace.c: Move #ifdefs around a bit on Win32.

2001-02-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gshell.c (unquote_string_inplace): Make static.

        * gthread.h: Include gtypes.h to be sure to get GLIB_VAR
        definition, remove definition from here.

        * gunicode.h: Remove duplicate GLIB_VAR definition from here, too.

        * gutils.c: (Win32) Use USERPROFILE as home dir if present. On
        Win2k, HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH aren't reliable.
        
        * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add -DGLIB_COMPILATION.

        * makefile.mingw.in: Remove install target, Windows isn't Unix.
        (DEFINES): Add -DDLL_EXPORT.

        * testgdate.c
        * testgdateparser.c
        * testglib.c: Undefine GLIB_COMPILATION.

        * testglib.c: Make some vars static. Add Cygwin path tests.

        * glib.def: Updates.

        * .cvsignore
        * */.cvsignore: Ignore also .obj, .dll, .lib and .exe files.

2001-02-19  Hans Breuer <hans@breuer.org>

        * glib/glib.def, gobject/gobject.def : added nissing symbols

        * gobject/makefile.msc : updated

        * glib/gmessages.c : call the "debug interrupt" before exiting the
        program, if build with msvc as debug version. Which gives the opportunity
        to see the callstack, etc.

        * glib/gthread.c : thread->pid is only defined #ifdef
        G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE

Mon Feb 19 07:32:38 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib-config-2.0.in (lib_glib): my name is glib-config-2.0!
        don't exit with errorcode!=0 for --help or -h.
        
        * Makefile.am:
        * configure.in: build glib-config-2.0.

2001-02-17  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gthread.c: include string.h

        Applied patch from Soeren Sandmann:
        
        * testglib.c: const fixes

        * gwin32.h: format cleanups

        * gutils.c (g_atexit): constify a variable
        (g_find_program_in_path): constification
        (g_basename): G_CONST_RETURN
        (g_path_skip_root): G_CONST_RETURN
        (g_getenv): G_CONST_RETURN
        (g_get_user_name): G_CONST_RETURN
        (g_get_real_name): G_CONST_RETURN
        (g_get_home_dir): G_CONST_RETURN
        (g_get_tmp_dir): G_CONST_RETURN
        (g_get_prgname): G_CONST_RETURN
        (_glib_gettext): G_CONST_RETURN

        * gunicode.h: formatting cleanups

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strerror): G_CONST_RETURN
        (g_strsignal): G_CONST_RETURN

        * gspawn.c (g_execute): const on variables

        * gmessages.c (printf_string_upper_bound): fix const on a variable

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_new): make the "name" arg const
        (struct _GRealMemChunk): make the "name" field const

        * gfileutils.c (g_file_open_tmp): store const return in a const
        gchar* variable

        * gdataset.c (g_quark_to_string): G_CONST_RETURN

Sat Feb 17 07:26:33 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in (G_MODULE_HAVE_DLERROR): add check for broken RTLD_GLOBAL
        (on OSF1 V5.0).

2001-02-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * acconfig.h, configure.in: Reverted the changes necessary to
        enlarge the system thread for G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE.

        * gthread.c: Now implement G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE in gthread.c
        instead of gthread/gthread-posix.c. While the latter has the
        advantage, that it is conceptually cleaner, it makes
        g_thread_self_posix_impl _very_ slow and that hurts
        GStaticRecMutex and other things. So the new version is less
        clean, but faster.

2001-02-09  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gconvert.c (g_convert): don't overwrite errors

        * gerror.c (g_set_error): improve warning message if an error is
        overwritten     
        (g_propagate_error): ditto

2001-02-13  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.c, gthread.h: Added functions g_static_rec_mutex_init,
        g_static_rec_mutex_free, g_static_private_init,
        g_static_private_free, g_static_rw_lock_init to allow the usage of
        all those types dynamically. (g_static_rw_lock_free already
        existed). Aditionally freed static_private indeces are reused
        now. Untill now the array would just grow if you would use more
        and more static_private. That required adding a slist of all
        running threads, which could potentially be of good use later. It
        is not exported however. Renamed a LOCK and small indentation
        fixes.

        * tests/thread-test.c: Test the new static_private index freing
        and reusing feature.
        
Mon Feb 12 15:01:09 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in (gtk_doc_min_version): Add check for gtk-doc version.

2001-02-10  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gtypes.h
        * gutils.h: Move GLIB_VAR definition from gutils.h to gtypes.h

        * glib.def
        * gmem.h: Mark glib_mem_profiler_table for export.

        * gwin32.c (get_package_directory_from_module): Don't store
        address of local variable in hashtable.

2001-02-08  Fatih Demir <kabalak@kabalak.net>

        * configure.in: Added "tr" to ALL_LINGUAS.

2001-02-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_getlocale): Use "nn" for Nynorsk, as nn.po
        files are appearing now. If the sublanguage starts with '@', don't
        use a '_' separator. South Africa is 'ZA', not 'SA'.

Sun Feb  4 07:38:32 2001  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * docs/debugging.txt: s/glib_trap_/g_trap_/. add comments on
        g_trap_instance_signals, g_trace_instance_signals and
        GRUNTIME_DEBUG.

        * gmem.c: s/glib_trap_/g_trap_/.
        
2001-02-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * tests/Makefile.am (thread_LDADD): Change order of libs,
        put progs_LDADD last. Needed for cygwin, says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.

2001-02-02  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * giochannel.h
        * giowin32.c
        * gmain.c: Stylistic cleanups. Use G_STRLOC in g_warning() calls.

        * glib.def: Add missing functions.

2001-02-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.c, gthread.h: Added g_static_mutex_init to allow
        initialization of a GStaticMutex, that can not be initialized with
        G_STATIC_MUTEX_INIT, for example in allocated structures.

Wed Jan 31 13:46:58 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * acinclude.m4 glib-gettext.m4: Fix problem with --disable-nls.

2001-01-31  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Corresponding change as below to
        GStaticMutex.

2001-01-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.c, gthread.h: Added g_static_mutex_free to allow using
        GStaticMutexes with limited lifetime without leaking.
        
        * configure.in: GStaticMutex doesn't have to provide extra space
        for debugging information for G_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES, as then the
        non-default implementation (runtime_mutex) is used anyway.

        * gthread.h (g_cond_wait): Added debug information for
        g_mutex_free calls, if G_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES is defined.

2001-01-29  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Use the same GMutex structure as the
        configure-generated glibconfig.h does.

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strsignal): Declare strsignal() on Cygwin, too,
        says jbdoll@kepri.re.kr.

2001-01-29  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.c: Broadcast the condition, if there are waiting
        readers, as all might read at the same time. Only signal the
        writer thread, if there are no more readers.

2001-01-25  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.mingw.in
        * */makefile.mingw.in: Protect the rule to rebuild makefile.mingw
        if makefile.mingw.in has changed with a check if said .in file
        exists. (This rule is mainly a convenience for yours truly.)

        * giowin32.c: Socket support rewritten. It was utterly broken, and
        untested in fact. We still do use a thread for each socket being
        watched, but instead of blocking in recv() (which of course was
        plain stupid for sockets being listen()ed on in a server-type
        application), we block in select(). The read method for sockets
        calls recv(). It is now possible for the application to call
        accept(), recv() or send() in the callback, just like on
        Unix. Tested with code kindly provided by Andrew Lanoix.

        Rename g_io_channel_win32_new_stream_socket() to
        g_io_channel_win32_new_socket() as it isn't restricted to stream
        sockets.
        
        * gmain.c (g_poll): Related changes in the Win32 version of
        g_poll(). When polling for messages, always do a PeekMessage()
        first. We used to miss messages if several were posted between
        calls to g_poll().

        * giochannel.h: Improve Win32-related comments.

        * gutf8.c: (Win32) Include <stdio.h> for sprintf.

        * tests/gio-test.c: (Win32) Add tests for polling for Windows
        messages.

        * tests/makefile.mingw.in: Remove superfluous compilation command
        line.

2001-01-23  Alex Larsson  <alexl@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_source_callback_unref): Free the callback
        (g_source_set_callback): Initialize the callback refcount

2001-01-20  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c (g_get_codeset): (Win32) Even if g_get_codeset() is
        currently commented out from gutils.h, fix it to return the same
        CP%d value as g_get_charset().

2001-01-19  Kjartan Maraas  <kmaraas@gnome.org>

        * gconvert.c: Fix typo.
        * gfileutils.c: Same here.
        * configure.in: Added no to ALL_LINGUAS
        
2001-01-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_getlocale, g_win32_error_message): Add doc
        comments.
        (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory): Add one parameter,
        the name of a DLL in the package. Add possibility to use that to
        deduce the installation directory if not entered into the
        Registry. Make the return value dynamically allocated.
        (g_win32_get_package_installation_subdirectory): New convenience
        function.

        * gutils.c (GLIB_LOCALE_DIR)
        * gwin32.h: Adapt accordingly.

        * testglib.c (main): Adapt tests accordingly.

Tue Jan 16 23:20:38 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gutils.c glibintl.h: Optimize for size rather than speed by
        making _() always call _glib_gettext() instead of conditionally
        calling gettext() or _glib_gettext_init. glib only uses translated
        strings in slow error handling code anyways.

        * glibintl.h: g'ify types.

        * Makefile.am: include glibintl.h in _SOURCES

2001-01-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * config.h.win32.in: Define ENABLE_NLS and GETTEXT_PACKAGE.

        * makefile.mingw.in
        * makefile.msc.in: Use the GNU intl library.

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory): New
        function. To be used by various GLib-using packages to get their
        installation directory, which should be stored in the Registry by
        some installer.

        * gwin32.h: Declare it.

        * testglib.c (main): Test it.

        * gutils.c: On Win32, define GLIB_LOCALE_DIR using
        g_win32_get_package_installation_directory().

        * glib.def: Update.

Mon Jan 15 21:39:06 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib-2.0.pc.in (Libs) glib-config-2.0.in: Add @INTLLIBS@.

Mon Jan 15 21:12:49 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in acconfig.h glibintl.h gutils.c
        po/{Makefile.in.in,POTFILES.in,po2tbl.in}: Add gettext
        support.

        * glib-gettext.m4 acinclude.m4: Clean up the GTK+ gettext macros
        some more and put them in this file, though they also need
        to be included in acinclude.m4 due to the brokeness of
        aclocal.

        * gspawn.c gspawn-win32.c gutf8.c gconvert.c gfileutils.c
        gshell.c: Remove dummy _() #defines, include glibintl.m4.

2001-01-09  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * giowin32.c: Rework the changes needed to pass mainloop-test. Now
        we don't need to call TerminateThread() after all, which is a
        relief, as the docs have a BIG RED WARNING SIGN about using that
        API. Instead, when closing a fd channel that has a reader thread
        running, just mark it as non-running and additionally mark the fd
        as ripe for closing. When the reader thread hopefully eventually
        gets something (and EOF or some actual data), it will note that it
        shouldn't be running, break out of the loop, and close the fd.

        The socket channel closing code should probably be changed
        similarily, but that will have to wait until I have a test case.
        
        (g_pipe_readable_msg, g_io_channel_win32_new_pipe,
        g_io_channel_win32_new_pipe_with_wakeups,
        g_io_channel_win32_pipe_request_wakeups,
        g_io_channel_win32_pipe_readable): Remove these, have been
        obsolete for some time.
        
        * gutils.c (g_basename, g_dirname): Don't warn about deprecation
        on Win32. Code written for GLib 1.2 doesn't have much choice but
        to use GLib >= 1.3 on Win32.

        * glib.def: Update.

2001-01-09  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmem.c: Made g_profile_mutex a GMutex* instead of
        G_LOCK_DEFINE_STATIC to avoid deadlock for thread implementations
        without native static mutexes. Contruct g_profile_mutex in
        g_mem_init().

2001-01-06  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gconvert.c (g_locale_to_utf8, g_locale_from_utf8): Get len using
        strlen() if arg is negative in the Win32 code, too.

        * giowin32.c: Changes necessary to be able to run
        mainloop-test. We can't close the fd that our (internal) reader
        thread is sitting doing a blocking read() from. We must terminate
        the thread first. Keep track of thread handle, and close it when
        thread is dying. Start reader thread with the lower-level
        CreateThread() instead of _beginthreadex() from the C runtime, in
        order to be able to use TerminateThread(). Hopefuly this isn't
        harmful.

        * glib.def: Update.

        * tests/makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (TESTS): Add mainloop-test and
        unicode-encoding.

        * tests/mainloop-test.c: Portability: <unistd.h>, need <fcntl.h>
        on Win32.

        * tests/unicode-encoding.c (process): Add missing "line" argument
        to fail(). On Win32, convert UTF-16LE, as libiconv'c ivonf always
        converts to UTF-16BE if we ask for unspecific UTF-16.
        (main) Handle also '\r'.

Fri Jan  5 11:25:42 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in (PACKAGE): move $enable_debug down below
        checks for GCC to avoid setting CFLAGS prematurely,
        change checks to avoid adding -g twice.

        * gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Support len < 0 to mean
        0 termination.

        * gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4): Terminate result with 0.

        * tests/mainloop-test.c (main): Fix uses of 
        g_main_loop_destroy().

        * tests/unicode-encoding.c tests/Makefile.am tests/utf8.txt:
        Tests for unicode-conversion code.

        * gconvert.c (g_convert, g_convert_with_fallback): work around
        a couple of GNU libc bugs.

        * gconvert.[ch] (g_{locale,filename}_{to,from}_utf8): Standardize
        arguments to match g_convert(). Document.

        * gunicode.[ch]: 
          - Implement conversion functions to and from UTF-16
          - Standardize unicode conversion functions on prototype like
            g_convert.
          - Add a lot of error checking to unicode conversion functions.

        * gunicode.[ch] (g_utf8_to_ucs4_fast): Add fast, non-checking
        variant of g_utf8_to_ucs4.

        * gutf8.c (g_utf8_validate): 
         - add g_return_if_fail (str != NULL).
         - add checks for overlong strings, non-valid Unicode characters (>= 110000)
           and single surrogates.

2001-01-05  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * testglib.c (main): Add test for g_path_skip_root().

        * gfileutils.c (g_file_open_tmp): (Win32:) Look also for (illegal)
        forward slashes in the template.

        * gutils.c (g_path_skip_root): On Win32, skip the \\server\share
        part of UNC paths. On all platforms, skip several initial
        slashes. Add a few comments.
        (g_get_any_init): On Win32, in case HOME is Unix-style with
        (forward) slashes (some other applications apparently set it up
        this way, convert to backslashed form.

        * configure.in (glib_os): Remove stray 'v'. Add case for mingw,
        although using configure for mingw surely doesn't work yet.

        * glib.def: Update.

2001-01-02  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: remove glib-config-2.0

        * Makefile.am: remove glib-config-2.0

2001-01-03  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * tests/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): -I$(top_srcdir)/gmodule, 
        fix from Michael Meeks

        * Makefile.am (INCLUDES): DISABLE was spelled wrong

Wed Jan  3 14:10:49 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.[ch]: Switch GMainLoop to be ref/unref, use to
        make dropping reference to running loop safe.

Wed Dec 13 20:41:49 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_source_unref_internal): Unref callback->cb_data
        if it was still set when the source is freed. (Usually, this
        will be done by g_source_destroy.)

2001-01-02  Dan Winship  <danw@helixcode.com>

        * garray.h (g_array_append_val, g_array_prepend_val,
        g_array_insert_val): Use parentheses around an argument to make
        these cause an error if you pass a non-lvalue for the value,
        rather than silently doing the wrong thing.

2000-12-29  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Add GLIB_SIZEOF_VOID_P and GLIB_SIZEOF_LONG.

        * glib.def: Update.

        * {.,*}/makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add -DG_ENABLE_DEBUG.
        
Fri Dec 29 14:53:18 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: we can't grow _cv_ variables by using a backticked
        expr that refers back to the variable (glib_cv_sizeof_system_thread for
        G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE), that'd keep the variable growing every time
        it's evaluated. quantum states, anyone?)

Thu Dec 28 10:21:46 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.[hc]: got rid of outdated dmalloc support. provide g_try_malloc()
        and g_try_realloc() which _may_ fail and return NULL.
        nuked g_mem_check(), provided GMemVTable for memory function
        virtualization, alterable at program startup with g_mem_set_vtable().
        provided glib_mem_profiler_table and g_mem_profile() to support limited
        profiling information out of the box (uses mprotect() for free()ed areas
        on linux).
        provide globally visible G_MEM_ALIGN.
        buncha cleanups.

        * docs/macros.txt: file to get a clue about the various configuration
        macros.

        * docs/debugging.txt: explain debugging traps.

        * configure.in: got rid of --enable-mem-check and --enable-mem-profile,
        define GLIB_SIZEOF_VOID_P and GLIB_SIZEOF_LONG. check malloc prototypes
        and define SANE_MALLOC_PROTOS is we can use them.
        <boy, is this file a mess>

        * gutils.c, gscanner.c: fix up compatibility warnings, use g_message().

2000-12-27  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Update.

2000-12-25  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gmessages.c: (Win32) Use a MessageBox for fatal
        messages. Collect eror message into a buffer, and display that.

        * glib.def: Update.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Update. Remove unused wchar and wctype
        macros, add G_MODULE_SUFFIX.

2000-12-24  Ali Abdin  <aliabdin@aucegypt.edu>

        * Makefile.am, gcompat.h, glib.h: New gcompat.h header file
          as recommended by Havoc.

        * gdate.c, gdate.h, testgdate.c,
          docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt,
          docs/reference/glib/tmpl/date.sgml, tests/date-test.c: Rename some
          of the gdate functions to use the '_get' in their name. Patch
          reviewed by Havoc.
                
2000-12-22  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Determine the suffix of the shared librarries for
        this system. This is done analogous to
        ltconfig.sh. G_MODULE_SUFFIX in glibconfig.h is set to either
        "sl", "dll", or (most often) "so".

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/module-test.c,
        tests/libmoduletestplugin_a.c, tests/libmoduletestplugin_b.c:
        Added new testcase for gmodule. This is mostly copied from
        gmodule/testgmodule.c, but unlike that is is quiet. (Why BTW are
        some tests that verbose, not to say loquacious...)

2000-12-19  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * grand.c: Updated G_RAND_DOUBLE_TRANSFORM to be more
        accurate. Redid g_rand_double() such that it returns 52 bits after
        the point instead of 32 as before. That OTOH requires calling
        g_rand_int() twice. Overhauled g_rand_int_range(), which is easier
        now thanks to the new precision of g_rand_double(). Thanks to
        Sverre Johansen <sj@ifi.uio.no> for the hint.

        * grand.h: Added g_rand_boolean() and g_random_boolean()
        macros. While they could be omitted due to extreme simplicity,
        they make intention clearer in code and are therefore good to have.

        * grand.c, grand.h: Renamed all 'min' and 'max' parameters to'
        begin' and 'end' resp. to avoid making people think, that 'max' is
        included in the interval. 'end' now isn't, whereas 'begin'
        is. That's similar to the use in the STL.

        * gslist.c, glist.c: Ok, I'm a moron. When I originally
        implemented ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY, I forgot to include config.h into
        the affected files. Now that Alex did that for those two,
        inevitable typos surfaced, which are now fixed.
        
        * garray.c, ghash.c, gqueue.c, gtree.c: Include config.h as well,
        as ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY should be known.

2000-12-19  Alexander Larsson  <alexl@redhat.com>

        * configure.in:
        Added --disable-mem-pools option.

        * glist.c:
        * gslist.c:
        * gnode.c:
        * gmem.c:
        Disable free list and memory chunks if DISABLE_MEM_POOLS is defined.

2000-12-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutf8.c (g_utf8_get_charset_internal): (Win32) Use GetACP to get
        the current ANSI codepage.

        * gunicode.h: Add comment that the static string g_get_charset
        sets the parameter to point to should be copied in case the
        charset might be changed later in the program.

2000-12-14  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: No need to -DGSPAWN_HELPER when
        compiling gspawn-win32-helper any longer.

        * giowin32.c (g_io_win32_dispatch): Warn if no callback. Call
        callback correctly.
        (g_io_win32_create_watch): Fix typo.
        (g_io_win32_fd_create_watch): Ditto.
        (g_io_channel_unix_new): If it is a file descriptor (i.e., a Unix
        fd lookalike provided by the C library), call
        g_io_channel_win32_new_fd(). If it is a socket (from WinSock),
        call g_io_cahnnel_win32_new_stream_socket(). Hopefully sockets and
        fds don't overlap. TODO: Implement also datagram sockets.
        (g_io_channel_win32_poll): Call g_main_context_get_poll_func().

        * gcompletion.h: Include <unistd.h> only on Unix. Is this
        inclusion really needed here? OTOH, do include <stddef.h>, for
        size_t.

        * gmessages.c: (Win32) Don't define a function called "write" that
        might clash with the prototype from <io.h>, use a #define.

        * glib.def: Update.

        * gmain.c (g_source_add_poll): Don't return a value from void
        function.
        (g_main_context_get_poll_func): Compile also for non-Win32, as
        presumably was intended. The result var is a GPollFunc, not a
        GPollFunc*. Return the result!

2000-12-13  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gconvert.c (open_converter): make static

        * gutf8.c (g_utf8_validate): Simplify logic a bit, maybe 
        speeding it up - now we just return FALSE if we had to bail out
        for any reason before getting to the end of the string, as defined 
        by a nul byte if len was -1, defined by the len otherwise. This 
        also fixes a bug where nul bytes were not treated as invalid 
        when the length was specified.

2000-12-12  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_context_destroy): don't try to use thread stuff
        unless G_THREADS_ENABLED
        (g_main_context_query): ditto
        (g_main_context_check): ditto
        (g_main_loop_quit): ditto

Tue Dec 12 18:58:22 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghash.c (g_hash_table_remove): return whether a value
        got removed.

Tue Dec 12 15:18:10 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.[ch]: Revert unauthorized changes.

2000-12-12  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c, gmain.h (g_main_context_new, g_main_context_destroy):
        GMainContext useful in implementing some additional styles of
        main loop usage.  To do this, however, Joe Hacker needs to be able
        to create/destroy GMainContext's at will. This is just an export
        of existing functionality, rather than any new functionality.

        They are listed in the "Low level functions for implementing custom
        main loops" section of the header file, to avoid confusing people.

Sun Dec 10 10:47:11 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_source_destroy_internal): Remove pollfds
        from the context here, not when actually freeing the
        source.

        * gmain.c (g_source_unref_internal): Free source list
        and source, call source->source_funcs->destroy().

        * giochannel.c: Unreference io_channel properly.

Thu Dec  7 15:22:30 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * tests/mainloop-test.c (recurser_start): Add a bunch
        of unrefs.

        * gmain.c (g_source_attach): Reference the source
        when adding (pointed out by Elliot)

2000-12-08  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * acglib.m4 (GLIB_AC_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP): 
        Rename from GLIB_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP.  
        Update to track autoconf 2.49b.
        * configure.in: Reflect above change.
        (AC_EGREP_HEADER): Rename from really obselete AC_HEADER_EGREP.
        (debug_default): Replace "if test `expr ...`" with "case". 

        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Rearrange into other variables, and
        include run-markup-tests.sh.
        (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): New.  Pass $srcdir to tests.
        (noinst_PROGRAMS): Rename to ...
        (check_PROGRAMS): ... this.  'automake' ensures that these are
        built before running the tests.
        * tests/run-markup-tests.sh: Support $srcdir != $builddir.

2000-12-08  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): move markup-test to noinst_PROGRAMS;
        it isn't a proper test, the proper test would be 
        run-markup-tests.sh, but that can't go in tests, so we need 
        a manual make check rule. Didn't do that yet.

2000-12-07  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * gmain.h: Don't put anything after an #endif.
        * gmain.c: Likewise.

2000-12-06  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * tests/strfunc-test.c (main): add g_strdupv test

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strdupv): Add a function to copy 
        an array of strings

Tue Dec  5 12:23:04 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.[hc]: Major change in API for creating sources
        to handle multiple main loops (GMainContext *). 

        GSources are now exposed as GSource * and implemented
        with structure derivation.

        * giochannel.[ch]: Changed vtable for GIOChannel to correspond
        to the new mainloop API, add g_io_channel_create_watch().
         
        * gtypes.h: Move GTimeVal here.

        * gthread.h: Remove gmain.h include to avoid circularity.
        
        * giounix.c: Update for new GMain API.
         
        * giowin32.c: Update for new GMain API. (No check for
        proper compilation or working.)

        * timeloop.c timeloop-basic.c: A benchmarking program for
        the main loop comparing the main loop against a 
        hand-written (timeloop-basic.c) variant. 

        * tests/mainloop-test.c: New torture test of mainloop.
        
        * docs/Changes-2.0.txt: Started. Added text about
        changes to GMain.

        * gmain.c (g_main_add_poll_unlocked): Initial fd->revents
        to zero. (#8482, Benjamin Kahn)

2000-12-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * {.,*}/makefile.msc.in: Include make.msc from GLib's build subdir.

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (glib_OBJECTS): Add gunibreak.

        * glib.def: Update correspondingly.

2000-11-21  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gmacros.h: Provide G_CONST_RETURN which is 'const' by default,
        and nothing when G_DISABLE_CONST_RETURNS is defined.

2000-11-29  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gunidecomp.c (COMBINING_CLASS): 
        s/UNICODE_LAST_CHAR/G_UNICODE_LAST_CHAR/

        * gunichartables.h: Update for data in Unicode 3.0.1

        * gunidecomp.h: Ditto
        
        * gunicode.h (GUnicodeBreakType): Enum for line break properties
        (g_unichar_break_type): Get the break property for a char
        
        * gunibreak.h: Autogenerated line break property tables

        * gunibreak.c (g_unichar_break_type): added 
        
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): dist gen-unicode-tables.pl

        * Makefile.am (libglib_1_3_la_SOURCES): Add gunibreak.h, gunibreak.c
        
        * gen-unicode-tables.pl: Include the script to update the unicode
        char tables

2000-11-28  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * gmarkup.c: Fix warnings.

        * guniprop.c, gunidecomp.c: Make warnings go away by using
        GPOINTER_TO_INT() instead of (int).

        * gcompletion.[ch]: Add g_completion_set_compare(),
        to allow (for example) using case-insensitive completion.

2000-11-28  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        Patches by Hans Breuer:
        
        * gspawn-win32.c: Move the code for gspawn-win32-helper to its own
        file.

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Change accordingly.

        * gspawn-win32-helper.c: New file.

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add it.

        * gmarkup.c (find_current_text_end): Fix assertion not to check an
        uninitialised variable.

2000-11-28  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.c: Set the thread data before locking the mutex, because
        the locking call might use g_thread_self ().

        * gthread.h: Do only show the location of the locking/unlocking
        for -DG_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES and not the name of the mutex. Add the
        errorcheck capability for g_cond_wait and g_cond_timed_wait as
        well.   

2000-11-27  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gthread.h: Add void in empty function arg list

2000-11-22  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add gqsort.

        * glib.def: Update.

2000-11-21  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Add a surrogate for thread priorities using PID
        niceness for systems with no thread priorities and different PIDs
        for threads of the same process (most notably: Linux). Define
        G_THREAD_USE_PID_SURROGATE in that case, as used by
        gthread-posix.c. Also make the system thread bigger by
        sizeof (long) to contain the thread's PID.

        * gfileutils.c: Include stdlib.h for mkstemp prototype.

        * gthread.c: Add priority range checks to the affected functions.

        * gthreadpool.c: Remove unused variable.

Mon Nov 20 18:55:17 2000  Jonathan Blandford  <jrb@redhat.com>

        * gtree.[hc]: Patch from David Benson <daveb@idealab.com> to add
        user_data support to gtree functions.

Mon Nov 13 18:35:52 2000  Jonathan Blandford  <jrb@redhat.com>

        * gtypes.h (GCompareFuncData): new func type to let you use user
        data when comparing nodes.

        * gslist.c (g_list_sort_with_data): new function to sort with
        user_data. 

        * glist.c (g_list_sort_with_data): new function to sort with
        user_data. 

        * garray.[ch]: Added convenience functions to sort arrays.

2000-11-16  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * guniprop.c (g_unichar_isspace): Use a switch here, maybe helps 
        the compiler optimize things. Also, ' ' is a SPACE_SEPARATOR,
        so don't special case it.

2000-11-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add g_trash_stack entry points.

Fri Nov 17 15:43:00 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Released 1.3.2
        
        * NEWS: Update.

        * tests/Makefile.am (dist-hook): Add code to distribute
        markup test files.

2000-11-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Check for the sched.h header and include it on
        gthread/gthread-posix.c if available.

        * configure.in: Add -D_POSIX4_DRAFT_SOURCE to
        GTHREAD_COMPILE_IMPL_DEFINES. Also add -D_POSIX4A_DRAFT10_SOURCE
        to G_THREAD_CFLAGS. Really deploy GTHREAD_COMPILE_IMPL_DEFINES,
        when searching for thread libs. Look for sched_* functions in
        -lrte as well. All of that is necessary on DG/UX.

        * configure.in: Use AC_TRY_COMPILE instead of AC_EGREP_HEADERS in
        various places to make it work more reliable, to make it accept
        macros instead of functions etc.

        * configure.in: Replace some NULL's for checks with 0 to make it
        work without stdio.h everywhere.

        * configure.in, gutils.c: changed the test for getpwuid_r to first
        test for a posix version and then for a non-posix version. No code
        change in gutils.c. Again this change deals better with getpwuid_r
        being a macro and not a function. Most of the above with kind help
        from Tethys <tet@isengard.europe.dg.com>. This fixes Bug #13403.
        
2000-11-14  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gwin32.h: Make #endif comment match #ifdef.

Mon Nov 13 14:00:20 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Up version to 1.3.2

        * gconvert.h (enum GConvertError): Remove trailing ,

        * gfileutils.c (g_file_open_tmp): Fix comment to 
        properly describe return value.

2000-11-13  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * config.h.win32.in: Add USE_LIBICONV.

        * gconvert.c: Check G_OS_WIN32 only after including glib.h. 

        * glib.def: Update.

2000-11-13  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.c (g_static_rec_mutex_*): Made recursive mutexes also
        work when the thread system is not (yet) initialized.

Sun Nov 12 18:34:32 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gconvert.[ch]: Create wrapper functions for iconv()
        so that we can transparently use the native iconv, 
        libiconv, or (in the future) a mini-iconv included
        with glib.

        * glib-config-2.0.in glib-2.0.pc.in: Include @ICONV_LIBS@

        * INSTALL: Added note about libiconv.

        * configure.in: Add checks for libiconv from pango. If
        EILSEQ is not defined in errno.h add define for it into
        glibconfig.h so g_iconv can use it. (Note, recompiling
        from a system without EILSEQ to a system with EILSEQ
        will break binary compatibility)

2000-11-12  Robert Brady  <robert@suse.co.uk>

        * gstrfuncs.c, gstrfuncs.h: Remove g_filename_{to,from}_utf8

        * gconvert.c, gconvert.h: Add g_filename_{to,from}_utf8 and
        g_locale_{to.from}_utf8.  The locale_ variant honours 
        nl_langinfo(CODESET), the filename_ variant uses UTF-8 unless
        asked otherwise.

        (g_convert): Add G_CONVERT_ERROR_PARTIAL_INPUT error, if bytesread
        != length and no bytesread pointer passed.

Sun Nov 12 15:29:53 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gfileutils.[ch]: template is a reserved word in
        C++ s/template/tmpl/. 

2000-11-11  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gmarkup.c (g_markup_parse_context_parse): Handle a long stream
        of bytes containing no UTF-8 character starts

2000-11-11  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add missing entry points.

        * gfileutils.c (g_mkstemp): Improve chance to generate unique
        names with less effort a bit.

        * gfileutils.h: Add g_file_open_tmp() declaration.

        * testglib.c: Include <io.h> on Win32.

        * makefile.mingw.in: Correct the way to invoke sub-makes.

Sun Nov  5 13:20:54 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib-object.h: Add gtypemodule.h

2000-11-11  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gfileutils.c (g_file_open_tmp): New function, suggested by Havoc
        earlier this month.
        (g_mkstemp): Use only one case for letters in temp file name, as
        this will be used on systems with case-insensitive file systems.

        * testglib.c (main): Test g_mkstemp() and g_file_open_tmp().

2000-11-09  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthreadpool.c: Don't take other threads with other priorities
        into account as changing the priority is highly
        unportable. (Actually using it at all already is unportable, but
        even sometimes where that works, changing priority is not
        possible).

2000-11-05  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gmarkup.h: rename G_MARKUP_FOO to
        G_MARKUP_DO_NOT_USE_THIS_UNSUPPORTED_FLAG

        * gmarkup.c: don't start doc comments with "Returns"
        
2000-11-05  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gmarkup.c: inline docs
        (unescape_text): properly check strtoul for failure.
        
        * gerror.c (g_propagate_error): Free the src error if the dest
        location is NULL - I'm pretty sure that's what this function was 
        supposed to do.

2000-11-05  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gutils.c (g_find_program_in_path): cleanup docs, sync param 
        names to those in the header

        * gfileutils.c (g_mkstemp): clean up docs

        * gshell.h: sync param names with param names in .c file

        * gfileutils.h (enum GFileTest): remove trailing comma from last
        member, confuses gtk-doc

        * gmarkup.h: s/GMarkupErrorType/GMarkupError/g; to follow
        convention

2000-11-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gasyncqueue.c: Added documentation for asyncronous queues.

        * gspawn.c: Include sys/select.h (some platforms need it for
        select). 

        * gspawn.c: Changed unportable __FUNCTION__ to the verbatim
        function name.

2000-10-31  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c
        * gutils.h
        * gfileutils.c
        * gfileutils.h: Actually, g_mkstemp() is better suited in gfileutils.

2000-10-30  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * configure.in: Check for mkstemp.

        * gutils.c (g_mkstemp): New function. If HAVE_MKSTEMP, just call
        it, otherwise use code lifted from glibc.

        * gutils.h: Declare it.

        * glib.def: Here, too. Plus two missing functions.

2000-10-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gcache.h, gcache.c, ghash.h, ghash.c, grel.c, grel.h, gtypes.h:
        Introduced new function type GEqualFunc to return TRUE for equal
        params. This is now used instead of GCompareFunc (which should
        work akin to strcmp) here. This kind of fixes Bug #14412. Note
        that technically GCompareFunc and GEqualFunc are still the same
        types, as gint == gboolean.

        * ghash.h, gutils.c: g_int_equal and g_direct_equal now return
        gboolean to be really become GEqualFunc.

        * gscanner.c, testglib.c, tests/hash-test.c: Some tiny changes to
        follow the above change.

2000-10-27  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (glib_OBJECTS): Add gmarkup.

        * glib.def: Add missing functions.

        * tests/makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (TESTS): Add markup-test.

2000-10-24  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gmarkup.h, gmarkup.c: New module to parse a simple
        markup language
        
        * Makefile.am: add gmarkup.h, gmarkup.c

        * tests/Makefile.am: add markup-test

        * gstring.h (g_string_new_len): new function to create a string
        with a length
        (g_string_new): avoid a gratuitous realloc

2000-10-26  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Cosmetics.

2000-10-26  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strsplit): When the string is ended by a
        delimiter, return an extra empty string just like for a delimiter
        at the start of the string. This makes the function behave more
        consistent and also fixes Bug #15026.

Tue Oct 24 22:09:14 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib-object.h: added newly added gobject/ headers.

        * gmesage.c: print g_message() output to stderr instead of stdout.

2000-10-23  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Use one = instead of two, which is plainly wrong.

2000-10-19  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.msc.in: Pass -DGSPAWN_HELPER when building it. Link
        with user32.lib.

        * gspawn-win32.c
        * gfileutils.c: Make them compile with picky MSVC.

        * gwin32.h: New file. Move Win32-only stuff that isn't related to
        GIOChannels here from giochannel.h.

        * Makefile.am: Add it here.

        * giochannel.h: Move stuff to gwin32.h.

        * glib.h: On Win32, include gwin32.h.

Mon Sep 11 10:03:24 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.h convert.c (g_convert_with_fallback): Change
        ERROR_OTHER to ERROR_FAILED, add some dummy marking with _().

        * docs/reference/glib/glib-sections.txt
        docs/reference/glib/glib-docs.sgml Update for g_convert,
        g_unicode_validate.

2000-10-16  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Remove alloca stuff from here. galloca.h
        takes care of it, correctly.

        * giowin32.c (reader_thread): Some more debugging output.
        (g_io_channel_win32_poll): Remove unused vars.

        * gfileutils.c: Changes for Win32, with no unistd.h and no
        S_ISLNK().

        * gspawn-win32.c: Implementation of the g_spwan_* functions for
        Win32. Due to the general non-Unixness of Win32, much of the
        functionality that is relatively clean to implement on Unix, is
        hard to do on Win32. We must use a separate helper program to
        change directory, close extra file descriptors, redirect the std
        ones, as needed, and only then start the child process. No child
        process pid can be returned, unfortunately. Or if we used
        CreateProcess directly, it probably could. (Now we use the spawnv*
        functions from msvcrt.)

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add gspawn-win32.c

        * glib.def: Add new entry points.

        * glib.def
        * giowin32.c: Remove g_io_channel_win32_wait_for_condition(),
        g_io_channel_win32_poll() subsumes it.

        * gbacktrace.h: G_BREAKPOINT for MSVC (on the ix86).

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_getlocale): Use "sp" for
        LANG_CROATIAN+SUBLANG_SERBIAN_LATIN.

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (glib_OBJECTS): Add new files.
        Add gspawn-win32-helper.exe rule.

        * tests/makefile.{mingw,msc}.in (TESTS): Add shell-test and
        spawn-test.

        * tests/spawn-test.c: (run_tests): On Win32, don't try to run
        /bin/sh, but ipconfig (no special significance in choosing that,
        just a program that outputs something to stdout).

2000-10-15  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        Remove need for acconfig.h, and misc. cleanups.
        * acglib.m4 (GLIB_SIZEOF): Add 'autoheader' comment to
        AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED.
        (GLIB_BYTE_CONTENTS): Likewise.

        * configure.in: Add 'autoheader' comments to all AC_DEFINE(...)
        and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(...) lines.
        Replace AC_MSG_CHECKING/AC_CACHE_VAL with AC_CACHE_CHECK.
        (AM_PROG_LIBTOOL): Move after AC_PROG_CC.
        
        * acconfig.h: Empty out.

        * Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.  List 'dist'able
        files that are created in the builddir.
        (dist-hook): Handle those files.
        (libglib_1_3_la_SOURCES): Remove @ALLOCA@.  @ALLOCA@ should only
        be used in an _LDADD or _LIBADD, since it expands (if necessary)
        to 'alloca.o'.

        * tests/Makefile.am (BUILT_EXTRA_DIST): New variable.
        (dist-hook): Handle $(BUILT_EXTRA_DIST).
        
2000-10-13  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * grand.c: Added inline documentation. 

        * gtypes.h, gnode.h, gutils.h: Readded GFreeFunc,
        g_node_insert_after and g_find_program_in_path resp., which
        mysteriously disappeared during the glib.h dissection.

2000-10-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Adapted accordingly to header separation
        and GLIB_HAVE_ALLOCA_H renaming.

        * Makefile.am: Added the new headers to glibinclude_HEADERS.

        * glib.h: Forgot to include gerror.h.

        * glib.h, galloca.h, garray.h, gasyncqueue.h, gbacktrace.h,
        gcache.h, gcompletion.h, gconvert.h, gdataset.h, gdate.h, ghash.h,
        ghook.h, giochannel.h, glist.h , gmacros.h, gmain.h, gmem.h,
        gmessages.h, gnode.h, gprimes.h, gquark.h, gqueue.h, grand.h,
        grel.h, gscanner.h, gslist.h, gstrfuncs.h, gstring.h, gthread.h,
        gthreadpool.h, gtimer.h, gtree.h, gtypes.h, gutils.h: Split glib.h
        into many header files mostly according to the resp. *.c-files.
        
        * gmacros.h: Added G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS to mean: 'in case
        of C++: extern "C" { ... }' analogous to glibc __BEGIN_DECLS and
        __END_DECLS.

        * configure.in, gerror.h, gfileutils.h, gshell.h, gspawn.h,
        gunicode.h, : Changed guard-macro names to something more
        consistent.

        * configure.in, *.h: Use G_BEGIN_DECLS and G_END_DECLS.

        * configure.in: Defined GLIB_HAVE_ALLOCA_H instead of including
        alloca.h in glibconfig.h, GLIB_HAVE_ALLOCA_H is used in glib.h.

        * configure.in: Removed cruft from old threading code.

2000-10-09  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        Work with beta autoconf 2.50.
        * configure.in (GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION): Use GLIB_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP
        instead of AC_DIVERT_PUSH(),AC_DIVERT_POP.
        (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Remove redundant AC_DEFINE(HAVE_...).
        (REALLOC_0_WORKS): Move AC_DEFINE outside AC_CACHE_VAL.
        (dlopen): Quote nested AC_CHECK_... calls.

        * acglib.m4 (GLIB_TR_SH, GLIB_TR_CPP): Utility macros copied from
        beta autoconf 2.50.
        (GLIB_DIVERT_BEFORE_HELP): New macro that works both with autoconf
        2.13 and beta autoconf 2.50.
        (GLIB_SIZEOF, GLIB_BYTECONTENTS): Use GLIB_TR_*.

        * Makefile.am (CONFIGURE_DEPENDENCIES): Use this to specify
        that 'configure' depends on acglib.m4.

2000-10-09  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am: Add new files.

        * tests/spawn-test.c, tests/shell-test.c: new tests for
        the shell/spawn stuff

        * gutils.c (g_find_program_in_path): convert a relative
        program name into an absolute pathname to an existing 
        executable

        * gspawn.h, gspawn.c: New fork/exec API

        * gshell.h, gshell.c: Shell-related utilities, at the moment
        simply routines to parse argv and quote/unquote strings

        * guniprop.c (g_unichar_isspace): Return TRUE for the 
        ASCII space characters isspace() returns TRUE for.

        * gfileutils.c (g_file_get_contents): Convenience function 
        to slurp entire file into a string and return it. Partially
        written by Joel Becker.
        (g_file_test): file test function

2000-10-06  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.msc.in: Revamp to be like makefile.mingw.in, make
        the MSVC build actually work again.

        * gmodule/makefile.msc.in
        * gobject/makefile.msc.in
        * gthread/makefile.msc.in: New files, like their mingw counterparts.

        * gmodule/Makefile.am
        * gobject/Makefile.am
        * gthread/Makefile.am: Make and distribute them.

        * */makefile.mingw.in: Allow override of GLib version number from
        the build/win32/module.defs file.

        * glib.def: Add new entry point.

        * tests/gio-test.c (main): Fix the Win32-only code to use current
        API, g_io_channel_win32_make_pollfd() and g_io_channel_win32_poll().

        Fixes from Hans Breuer:

        * glib.h (struct DIR): Keep the last readdir result cached inside
        the DIR struct, to enable several DIRs being open simultaneously.

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_readdir): Use the above instead of static.

        * giowin32.c (g_io_channel_win32_make_pollfd): Insert cast to keep
        MSVC happy.

2000-10-05  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h: Changed alloca stuff a bit: when we have a working
        alloca.h, we're not messing with alloca any further. Should fix a
        bug reported by Bernd Demian <wega@csc-dd.de>.

2000-09-29  Jonathan Blandford  <jrb@redhat.com>

        * gnode.c (g_node_insert_after): Added function to keep symmetry
        with g_node_insert_before. 

2000-09-29  Martin Baulig  <baulig@suse.de>

        Several minor ANSI C fixes.

        Added missing casts:
        * gdate.c (g_date_fill_parse_tokens): `s = (guchar *) str'.
        * gmain.c (g_idle_dispatch): `func = (GSourceFunc) source_data'.
        (g_idle_add_full): `(gpointer) function' in call to g_source_add().
        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strdown): `s = (guchar *) string' and
        `return (gchar *) string'.
        (g_strup): Likewise.
        (g_strchug): `start = (guchar*) string' in 1st for() argument;
        `strlen ((gchar *) start)' in call to g_memmove().
        * gstring.c (g_string_down): `s = (guchar *) string->str'.
        (g_string_up): Likewise.
        * gthreadpool.c (stop_this_thread_marker):
        `(gpointer) &g_thread_pool_new'.
        * gunidecomp.h (decomp_table[]): Cast all the strings to
        `unsigned char *'.

        Put text following #endif into comments:
        * gmain.c: here.

2000-09-29  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, glib.h: Added errorcheck mutexes. These are
        activated through the preprocessor symbol
        G_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES. Need to add an extra word to StaticMutex in
        order to achieve this. g_(static_)mutex_* functions instrument the
        mutex operations with mutex name and location, when compiled with
        -DG_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES. g_thread_init activates the errorcheck
        mutexes, when compiled with -DG_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES.

2000-09-28  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * glib.h (GThreadPriority): fix indentation
        (GConvertError): generic error is conventionally called
        _FAILED rather than _OTHER, at least at the moment, 
        according to GError docs in docs/reference.

        * gconvert.c: s/_OTHER/_FAILED/

2000-09-28  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Adjusted the test for an unimplemented
         getpwuid_r. Info from Michael Pruett. This is just a forward
         merge from glib-1-2.

        * configure.in: Moved determination of G_THREAD_FLAGS before
        G_THREAD_LIBS. Check for UnixWare systems and set the right cflags
        and libs there (it needs -Kthread for the native compiler and
        -pthread for gcc). Thanks to Boyd Lynn Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com>
        for the info.

        * configure.in: Fail immediately, when no thread library is found,
        instead of continuing searching for rt libs etc. Changed almost
        all occurances of $enable_threads to $have_threads, as that's,
        what we want.

        * tests/threadpool-test.c: Define vars inside the guard to avoid
        warnings.

        * configure.in, tests/type-test.c: Some platforms support 64 bit
        'long long', but you can not printf or scanf them. In that case,
        don't define G_G{UINT|INT}64_FORMAT. Changed the type-test program
        to reflect that.

        * gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): max_len can't be initialized
        statically as it might call a function. So do it at first call.

Tue Sep 26 2000 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * glib.h: Add G_GNUC_PURE macro (but don't use it anywhere).

Mon Sep 25 2000 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * garray.c, glib.h, gmem.c: Add a few missing G_GNUC_CONST's.

2000-09-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.mingw.in: Add gconvert.o. Use libiconv.

        * config.h.win32.in: Define HAVE_GETCWD.

        * glib.def: Add new entry points.

2000-09-21  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: The last released automake (1.4) still requires
        AM_PROG_LIBTOOL instead of AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, so use that for the
        time being.

2000-09-19  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * acconfig.h, configure.in, gutils.c: Test for the existence of
        getcwd, and use it only when found.

        * glib.h: Only use the gcc-variable-macro-argument-extension for
        gcc >= 2.4. Both patches from Jonas Oberg <jonas@gnu.org>.

Mon Sep 18 10:58:21 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gutf8.c: Implement g_ucs4_to_utf8 which was in
        the header file but not implemented.

Sun Sep 17 2000 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * glib.h configure.in: Define g_alloca() as an
        alloca-that-works-anywhere.

        * gconvert.c: Fix warnings which could have caused problems on
        64-bit platforms.

Sun Sep 10 12:37:40 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.h gconvert.c (g_convert): Havoc Pennington's implementation 
        of convenient character set conversion using iconv, with
        the addition of GError. We probably need a fallback that
        just does conversions between, say UTF-8,16,32 and ISO-8859-1
        for targets without iconv at all.

        Also add g_convert_with_fallback() to take care of conversions 
        where we accept some loss going to the target encoding.

2000-09-10  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gutf8.c (g_utf8_validate): Add this function.

Sat Sep  9 18:50:42 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strescape): Add a missing g_return_if_fail().

Mon Aug 21 03:57:46 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (G_BREAKPOINT): for non-i386 and non-alpha, or non gcc,
        implement BREAKPOINT() as raise (5 /* SIGTRAP */);

        * glib.h: provide user-definable switch G_IMPLEMENT_INLINES,
        to turn on compilation of inline function implementations provided
        in header files with extern linkage.
        wrap inline function implementations into ifdef __G_UTILS_C__, so we
        really only compile them for gutils.c and not also into arbitrary user
        code that wants to make use of G_IMPLEMENT_INLINES.
        adjusted comment apropriately.

        * gutils.c: to turn on compilation of inline functions, provide
        #define G_IMPLEMENT_INLINES 1 and #define __G_UTILS_C__.

2000-09-06  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gerror.c: docs

        * docs/reference/glib/tmpl/error_reporting.sgml: docs

Wed Sep  6 10:28:34 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * guniprop.c gunicode.h gutf8.c: Some inline docs fixes.

2000-09-06  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h, gtimer.c, tests/thread-test.c:
        s/G_MICROSEC/G_USEC_PER_SEC/

        * glib.h: Removed G_G{U}{SHORT|INT|LONG}_FORMAT from glib.h, as
        they are really superfluous.

Tue Sep  5 20:16:27 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in docs/Makefile.am: Add gtk-doc checks
        for newly added docs/reference/ subdir.

2000-09-05  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gthread.c (g_thread_error_quark): Don't use a G_LOCK, as it
        isn't necessary.

2000-09-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gstring.c (g_string_free): Use g_return_val_if_fail instead of
        g_return_if_fail, as the function now is supposed to return
        something.

        * gerror.c, gerror.h (g_propagte_error): Added function
        g_propagte_error to hand over local errors to the calling
        function.

        * glib.h: Include gerror.h before it is used for some g_thread_*
        functions.

        * gthread.c, gthreadpool.c, glib.h: Enable error reporting for
        thread creation, namely for g_thread_create, g_thread_pool_new,
        g_thread_pool_push and g_thread_pool_set_max_threads.

        * tests/thread-test.c, tests/threadpool-test.c: Adapted
        accordingly.

2000-08-31  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h
        * glib.def
        * giowin32.c (g_io_channel_win32_make_pollfd): New function, to
        make a GPollFD from a GIOChannel. Creates the events and starts
        the reader thread if necessary.

        * glib.h
        * giowin32.c (g_io_channel_win32_poll): No use for separate
        condition parameter.

        * gmain.c (g_get_current_time): (Win32): Simplify, use
        GetSystemTimeAsFileTime().

2000-08-27  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * giowin32.c (g_io_channel_win32_poll): New function, otherwise
        like g_io_channel_win32_wait_for_condition(), but accept several
        GPollFDs.
        (g_io_channel_win32_wait_for_condition): Call
        g_io_channel_win32_poll().

        * glib.h: Declare g_io_channel_win32_poll().

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_error_message): Don't believe return value
        from FormatMessage.

2000-08-25 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * glib.h, gunicode.h, gmodule/gmodule.h:
        Mark the following functions G_GNUC_CONST (to allow optimization)
        because their results are a function of only their parameters: 
        g_int_hash, g_int_equal, g_direct_hash, g_direct_equal,
        g_quark_to_string, g_date_is_leap_year, g_date_days_in_month,
        g_date_monday_weeks_in_year, g_date_sunday_weeks_in_year,
        g_spaced_primes_closest, g_unichar_is*, g_unichar_to*,
        g_unichar_*digit_value, g_unichar_type

2000-08-21 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * gobject/Makefile.am, gobject/gobject-query.c,
        gobject/gparamspecs.c: Fix inclusion of config.h

Mon Aug 21 14:46:23 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * tests/gio-test.c: Fix a couple of trivial bugs that
        were causing warnings.

Mon Aug 21 14:39:36 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.h: Use C99 varargs macros where possible 
        (check __STDC_VERSION__), otherwise, on gcc, use an alternate 
        form of gcc varargs which is more likely
        to be supported going forward. (Based on some code
        from Raja Harinath)

2000-08-17  Darin Adler  <darin@eazel.com>

        * glib.h:
        * garray.c: (g_array_free), (g_ptr_array_free),
        (g_byte_array_free): Return the data left behind.
        * gstring.c: (g_string_free): Return the data left behind.

        Changed the free calls that leave data behind so they
        return a pointer to the left-behind data, NULL if told not
        to leave anything behind. This makes these calls easier
        to use correctly, without any incompatible API change for
        callers that don't know about the return value. Of course,
        it would be even clearer if the free calls weren't dual-purpose
        in the first place.

2000-08-12  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * giowin32.c: Some indentation and spacing fixes. Add some more
        logging.
        (g_io_win32_add_watch): New function, with common code from
        g_io_win32_fd_add_watch and g_io_win32_sock_add_watch. Don't start
        more than one reader thread for a GIOChannel. We should obviously
        have just one reader thread reading a file descriptor or socket.

2000-08-10  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * gthread-2.0.pc.in (Cflags): don't duplicate glib Cflags

        * gmodule-2.0.pc.in (Cflags): don't duplicate glib Cflags

        * gobject-2.0.pc.in (Cflags): don't duplicate Cflags from glib
        itself

2000-08-10  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * glib-2.0.pc.in (Cflags): Look in glib-2.0/include for
        glibconfig.h

2000-08-07  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * tests/gio-test.c (shutdown_source): New function, that calls
        g_source_remove(). Check return value of g_source_remove(), and
        decrement running subprocess counter only if g_source_remove()
        actually did remove the source.

        (recv_message): Call shutdown_source() on EOF condition. Return
        FALSE on G_IO_HUP and G_IO_ERR condition. Fix printf format typo.

        * gunicode.h: Fix stray character

        * Makefile.am: Install/dist the .pc files

        * configure.in: Output the .pc files

2000-07-31  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * giowin32.c (buffer_read): The code didn't compile (must
        have been sleepy when committing). "return" instead of "break"

        (g_io_win32_fd_add_watch): Cannot check if the file descriptor is
        readable by calling ReadFile to read zero bytes. ReadFile blocks
        on NT even if trying to read nothing at all. So, don't check if
        file descriptor is readable; assume this function isn't called
        otherwise.

Sun Jul 30 10:44:16 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmain.c (g_get_current_time): fix tor's recent changes which
        got rid of a required variable in the non-windows path.

2000-07-30  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        Finally, a new and improved IO Channel and condition watch
        implementation for Win32. Based on code provided by Craig Setera.

        When watching file descriptors, for which there is no select()
        like functionality on Win32 that would work on all Win32 platforms
        for all types of file descriptors (including anonymous pipes), we
        start a new thread that blocks while trying to read from the file
        descriptor. When the read returns, a Win32 Event is signalled that
        the polling routine eventually notices. Meanwhile, the data being
        read is stored in a circular buffer, from where the IO channel's
        read() method picks it up.

        If the buffer fills up the reading thread has to wait for space
        becoming available. For this another Win32 Event is used. The IO
        Channel's read() method signals this when it has read some data
        out of the buffer.

        The separate reader thread(s), and the circular buffer(s) with
        associated events mean lots of possibilities for fun parallelism
        errors. But it seems to work OK, i.e. GIMP runs.

        * gmain.c: Small changes to the Win32 polling function.
        (g_main_win32_get_poll_func): New function. Perhaps it would be a
        good idea to provide this on all platforms.

        * giowin32.c: The bulk of the new implementation.
        (g_io_channel_win32_wait_for_condition): New function. To be used
        where on Unix one does a select() on the channel's fd, like
        libgimp's gimp_extension_process(). Could be provided on all
        platforms.

        * glib.h: Update documentation for IO Channels on Win32. Remove
        the declarations for the as of now obsolete old functions related
        to IO Channels for pipes with "wakeup" messages.

        * glib.def: Some new functions.

        * tests/gio-test.c: New file, to test GIOChannel and main loop.

        * tests/Makefile.am
        * tests/makefile.mingw.in: Add it.

        (Later the same night:)

        * giowin32.c: Compile in the debugging code all the time, but only
        output debug messages if told so. Add (unadvertised) function to
        turn on/off debug messages for a channel.

        (buffer_read): Don't loop. It is expected behaviour to return a
        short read occasionally, for instance when reading from
        pipes. It's the calling code that should loop if it *knows* how
        much the writer has written.

        * tests/gio-test.c: Correct the program's name in the output.
        (recv_message): Loop calling g_io_channel_read() (in a new
        function read_all()) until we have all the bytes we want (that we
        know the writer has written/will write).

Thu Jul 27 05:15:11 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strlcpy, g_strlcat): completed tor's fix
        to cover both #ifdef branches.

2000-07-26  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strlcpy, g_strlcat): Return 0 on error, not NULL.

        * glib.def: Add g_strlcpy, g_strlcat.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Add gsize and gssize.

Wed Jul 26 12:59:31 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * *.[hc]: applied patch from Andreas Persenius <ndap@swipnet.se> that
        updates the license headers to the GNU Lesser General Public License,
        as well as updating the copyright year to 2000.

        * configure.in:
        * testglib.c:
        * gstrfuncs.c:
        * glib.h: added g_strlcat() and g_strlcpy() wrappers, supplied by
        David Wheeler <dwheeler@ida.org>:

        * glib.h, gstrfuncs.c: added g_strlcpy and g_strlcat to support
          safe manipulation of fixed-length string buffers.
          These functions were originally developed by Todd Miller to simplify
          development of security-related programs, and
          are available on many (but not all) Unix-like systems,
          including OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Solaris.  See
          ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/src/lib/libc/string/strlcpy.3
          and http://www.openbsd.org/security.html.
          If there's a strlcpy/strlcat on the system, it's called, otherwise
          an implementation is provided.

        * testglib.c: Added tests for g_strlcpy, g_strlcat.

Wed Jul 26 05:03:24 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * acglib.m4 (GLIB_SIZEOF): include <stdlib.h> and <stddef.h> if
        STDC_HEADERS is defined.

        * glib.h:
        * glibconfig.h: define gsize and gssize in terms of GLIB_SIZEOF_SIZE_T

        * glib.h (g_return_if_reached): applied darin's fix for copy'n
        paste error in the macro implementation.

Wed Jul 26 00:46:03 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: applied patch from Darin Adler <darin@eazel.com> which
        supplies g_return_if_reached(), g_return_val_if_reached() and
        g_critical().

2000-07-22  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * build-dll: Fix resource handling, the resource file got left out
        from the DLL after all... Remove the WIN32APIHEADERS, not needed
        with current windres.

        * glib.def: Add new functions.

2000-07-20  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c, glib.h: Mark the functions g_basename and g_dirname
        deprecated. They will issue an warning once, when compiled with
        G_ENABLE_DEBUG, but continue to work as before. Instead the
        functions g_path_get_basename and g_path_get_dirname should be
        used, which BOTH return newly allocated memory, that has to freed
        by g_free. The new g_path_get_basename now strips trailing slashes
        from the path. This fixes #5097. For discussion see
        http://mail.gnome.org/pipermail/gtk-devel-list/2000-April/003139.html

        * gwin32.c, testglib.c, tests/dirname-test.c: Use the new
        functions instead of the old ones.

        * ghash.c, gscanner.c, glib.h: Mark the functions
        g_hash_table_freeze, g_hash_table_thaw and thus
        g_scanner_freeze_symbol_table and g_scanner_thaw_symbol_table
        deprecated. They will issue an warning once, when compiled with
        G_ENABLE_DEBUG. This fixes Bug #3883. For discussion see
        http://mail.gnome.org/pipermail/gtk-devel-list/2000-April/003139.html

2000-07-19  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, glib.h: glibconfig.h and glib.h now include files
        outside of the extern "C" block. Makes some C++ compiler
        happy. Reported by Denis Vakatov <vakatov@peony.nlm.nih.gov>.

Sat Jul 15 23:49:03 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib/glib.texi: Remove incomplete start of info file -
        real docs are in RDP.   

Sat Jul 15 22:44:22 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in: Add build/Makefile and 
        build/win32/Makefile to AC_OUTPUT() so things build
        again.

Sat Jul 15 09:11:46 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strncasecmp): fixed an off by 0 error (yeah,
        the function went off when the while (n--) loop failed due to
        n==0 ;), reported by Jean-Louis HAMEL <jlhamel@club-internet.fr>.

2000-07-15  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Include the "build" module in GLib, too,
        to make it more self-contained. If your CVS client doesn't
        automatically get it, do a cvs get build in glib.

        * */makefile.mingw.in: Include make.mingw from build in the glib
        source directory.

Fri Jul 14 16:26:35 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Release 1.3.1

Fri Jul 14 12:22:49 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * configure.in Makefile.am glib-config.m4 glib.m4: Move
        glib-config to glib-config-2.0 move glib.m4 to
        glib-2.0.m4

        * Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gmodule/Makefile.am
        gthread/Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Change 
        library names to libglib-1.3.la, etc, so that we
        can distinguish glib-1.2 and glib-2.0 on the linkline.

        * Makefile.am gobject/Makefile.am gmodule/Makefile.am:
        Move include files into /usr/include/glib-2.0.

Thu Jul  6 18:54:49 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * docs/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Remove info files
        from the build.

2000-07-14  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add g_error functions.

        * makefile.mingw.in: Add gbacktrace.o.

        * gbacktrace.c: No need to include <process.h>.

2000-07-12  Havoc Pennington  <hp@redhat.com>

        * glib.h: #include <gerror.h>

        * Makefile.am (include_HEADERS): Add gerror.h
        (libglib_la_SOURCES): Add gbacktrace.c

        * gbacktrace.c: Move g_on_error_query() in here (moved on the 
        server, so history is preserved)

        * gerror.h: GError interface

        * gerror.c: GError implementation replaces stuff that's now in 
        gbacktrace.c

Sun Jul  9 21:20:45 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gunicode.h: Include stddef.h instead of stdlib.h

2000-07-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h (GLIB_VAR): Rename the GUTILS_C_VAR macro to GLIB_VAR.

        * gunicode.h: Mark the g_utf8_skip array with GLIB_VAR.

        * glib.def: Add two missing entry points.

Thu Jul  6 15:35:28 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Release 1.3.1

        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Dist fixes.

        * configure.in: Moderate the warnings just a little bit.

2000-07-05  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Update.

Mon Jul  3 17:58:02 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gutf8.c (g_utf8_get_charset_internal): Fix up
        to correspond to configure.in checks.

Mon Jul  3 17:18:19 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.h: Comment g_get_codeset() out of the header file
        temporarily. (Very similar to g_get_charset(), need
        to resolve the two.)

2000-07-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add new entry points.

        * makefile.{mingw,msc}.in: Add the new Unicode object files.

Thu Jun 29 15:57:28 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * NEWS: updated

        * Makefile.am: added snapcheck target to go along with snapshot

        * gstring.c glib.h (g_string_hash): Add g_string_hash to 
        go along with g_string_equal.

Tue Jun 27 12:40:23 EDT 2000  David A. Wheeler <dwheeler@dwheeler.com>

        * glib.h: Added g_string_equal for comparing GStrings;
        changed g_str_equal so it returns gboolean (instead of gint).

        * gstring.c: Modified GString implementation to support embedded
        ASCII NUL ('\0') characters, and implemented g_string_equal.

        * testglib.c tests/string-test.c: Added tests for g_string_equal
        and tests for proper handling of embedded ASCII NUL characters.

Wed Jun 28 22:52:00 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * Makefile.am (libglib_la_SOURCES): Fix
        gunichartable.h => gunichartables.h. (From Eric Limings)

Fri Jun 23 17:20:26 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: define gstring in terms of gchar*. this typedef reflects
        the type name of the primitive G_TYPE_STRING in the gobject module.

Wed Jun 21 12:09:03 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gunicode.h gutf8.c guniprop.c gunidecomp.[ch] gunichartables.h
        Makefile.am glib.h: Initial pass at adding unicode support
        functions. A few things still need to be implemented, a bit
        of cleanup needs to be done, tests need to be added, and 
        the docs need to be finished, but this should allow replacing
        most or all use of libunicode.

2000-06-06  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * giowin32.c (g_io_channel_win32_pipe_readable): If we are
        watching the same pipe for different conditions (with different
        callbacks), check them all. Only call the callback for G_IO_IN
        from here. (This bug popped up when a watch for G_IO_ERR|G_IO_HUP
        was added to gimplib.)

2000-05-30  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c (g_locale_get_codeset): Implement on Win32.

        * glib.def: Add g_get_codeset.

        * tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): makefile.cygwin* has been
        renamed to makefile.mingw*.

Tue May 30 16:01:32 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.h gutils.c: Move the g_locale_get_codeset() up in the 
        header file to correspond to to comments about memory
        management. Rename to g_get_codeset() to avoid 
        polluting the g_locale_* namespace, which probably
        would have g_locale_get_codeset (GLocale *locale).
        Add a doc comment.

Mon May 29 14:10:35 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gutils.c (g_locale_get_codeset): Add function to get the 
        codeset name for the current locale.

        * configure.in acconfig.h: Add check for nl_langinfo(CODESET);

Fri May 19 11:39:29 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gutils.c (g_snprintf):
        (g_vsnprintf): added argument assertments.

        * gstring.c (g_string_assign): added argument assertments.
        (g_string_truncate): make len a guint.

Fri May 19 09:00:44 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_free): fixed SIZEOF_LONG==4 assumption with
        ENABLE_MEM_CHECK, from Art Haas <ahaas@neosoft.com>.

        * gslist.c (g_slist_reverse): shut up compiler.

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_get_token_ll): removed inline assignment.

        * garray.c: remove index>=0 checks for unsigned indices.

        * gmain.c (g_idle_prepare): timeout assignment fix.

        * gtree.c (g_tree_node_rotate_right): shut up compiler.

2000-05-13  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.mingw.in
        * tests/makefile.mingw.in
        * build-dll: Rename makefile.cygwin(.in) to
        makefile.mingw(.in), which better describes what it is. Move the
        build of gmodule, gthread and gobject DLLs to makefiles in those
        directories. Move resource file handling and build number bump to
        build-dll, where it sits much cleaner.

        * README.win32
        * Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Update accordingly.

        * glib.h: Add G_PI, G_PI_2, G_PI_4, G_E, G_LN2, G_LN10 and
        G_SQRT2. M_PI etc aren't necessarily in <math.h> in strict ISO C
        implementations.

        * glib.def: Add g_strcanon.

        * gtree.c (g_tree_node_rotate_left): Remove unused variables.

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_opendir): Remove unneeded statement.

Thu May  4 02:04:46 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in (STRIP_DUMMY): some Make 3.79 $(strip ) versions are
        broken and require an empty arg, give it to them.

Fri Apr 28 23:54:35 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * setup things for a new sub-library libgobject:

        * Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): added gobject

        * glib-config.in: feature -lgobject.

        * configure.in (AC_OUTPUT): generate gobject/Makefile.

        * glib.m4 (AM_PATH_GLIB): feature gobject module.

        * glib.spec.in: added %{prefix}/lib/libgobject-1.3.so.*

Fri Apr 28 21:41:49 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added G_STRLOC macro.
        G_STRUCT_OFFSET(): signedness corrections.
        (G_CSET_DIGITS): list 0-9.
        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_config_template): use G_CSET_DIGITS.

        * glib.h: 
        * gstrfuncs.c:
        (g_strdown):
        (g_strup):
        (g_strreverse): return the modified string instead of void, so
        calls to these functions can be nested.
        (g_strcanon): new function, canonicalizes string according to
        a given character set.

Fri Apr 28 19:45:16 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gasyncqueue.c (g_async_queue_unref): get rid of an unused variable.

Wed May 10 19:52:44 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.m4: Print found version when test succeeds.

2000-05-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in: Include the common makefile snippet
        from ../build/win32.

        Maybe CVSROOT/modules should be changed so that the 'build' module
        is included within the glib module (and gtk+, and gimp, and maybe
        others later), in the same way as the 'macros' module is included
        in lots of GNOME CVS modules?

2000-05-02  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add new functions.

        * makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in (glib_OBJECTS): Add new object files.

        * tests/makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Add threadpool-test.

2000-04-28  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gasyncqueue.c: New File implementing an asynchronous queue to be
        used for asynchronous inter-thread communication.

        * gthreadpool.c: New File implementing a thread pool to be used
        for distributing work among several threads. 

        * glib.h: Added the type and function declarations for these two
        types.

        * tests/threadpool-test.c: New File implementing a test for the
        thread pool. This also checks the asynchronous queue underlying
        the thread pool.

        * tests/Makefile.am: Changed accordingly.

2000-04-26  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Look for both pthread_create and pthread_join in
        the thread library. Some systems define one of them, but not both
        in libc. Arghh. Now we really start a thread and join it later and
        check, whether the thread to actually ran.

        * glib.h, gcache.c, gtree.c: Changed the 'value' parameter of
        g_cache_remove from gpointer to gconstpointer. Dito for the 'key'
        parameter of g_tree_lookup and g_tree_remove and the 'data'
        parameter of g_tree_search. This function now takes a function of
        type GCompareFunc instead of GSearchFunc. This fixes Bug
        #8267. Thanks to Juan Toledo <toledo@users.sourceforge.net> for
        pointing that out.

        * glib.h: Removed declaration of GSearchFunc.

        * gmem.c: s/GSearchFunc/GCompareFunc/.

2000-04-19  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Update entry point list.

2000-04-19  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h (G_TRYLOCK): Made the debugging G_TRYLOCK call also work
        for compilers with funny G_STMT_(START|END) macros.

        * tests/thread-test.c: Implemented a check for that.

        * gutils.c (g_getenv): Changed the win32 part of this function to
        be thread safe and to make the returned environment string
        persistent to match the UN*X behavior. This is again a response to
        Bug #8983.

        * glib.h (G_LOCK_NAME): Removed parentheses around the lock name,
        as that seems to cause problems for some compilers and really
        isn't necessary.

Wed Apr 19 08:32:32 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_new): make sure that
        scanner->config->cset_skip_characters is "" instead of NULL, so we
        don't segfault further on.

2000-04-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h, glist.h, gslist.h: Changed the 'data' parameters from
        gpointer to gconstpointer for the functions
        g_(list|slist)_(remove|find|find_custom|index), as they do not
        change this parameter. This fixes bug #4836.

        * glib.h: Changed comment for g_getenv to reflect, that the
        returned memory must not be freed. Fixes bug #8983.

2000-04-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, acconfig.h: Add configure test for garbage
        collector friendliness for GLib. If enabled, ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY
        will be defined.

        * garray.c, ghash.c, glist.c, gmain.c, gmem.c, gnode.c, gqueue.c,
        gslist.c, gtree.c: If ENABLE_GC_FRIENDLY is defined, NULLify all
        memory released by the user, but cached by GLib. This lets a
        garbage collector have a more correct view of the actually used
        memory.

        * garray.c, glib.h: Added g_(array|ptr_array|byte_array)_sized_new
        functions, that reserve a certain amount of memeory for the array
        at creation time to avoid reallocation. Fixes bug #6707 from
        Charles Kerr <ckerr@osserver1.nssl.noaa.gov>.

        * glib.h, gqueue.c, tests/queue-test.c (main): Renamed
        g_queue_create to g_queue_new in conformance to all other GLib
        data types.

2000-04-07  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * grand.c (g_rand_new): Fixed bug. Thanks to Marko Kreen
        <marko@l-t.ee> for reporting that.

2000-03-26  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Tell about using the mingw-based gcc, which is
        much easier than modifying the cygwin gcc to product mingw code
        for the msvcrt runtime.

        * makefile.cygwin.in (WIN32APIHEADERS): Kludge to make it work
        with a "pure" mingw gcc, too.

2000-03-24  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * garray.c: Made GArray behave correctly. Now zero_terminated
        really means, that the element array->data[array->len] exists and
        is zeroed, and clear means that any unassigned elements obtained
        through g_array_set_size (the only way to get unassigned elements
        AFAICT) are zeroed. Added some macros to make the code more
        obvoius. Also made GPtrArray zero elements after
        g_ptr_array_set_size. This is done in a portbale way (assignment
        of NULL instead of just memsetting it to zero), though that might
        be more portability than we actually want.

        * Makefile.am, gthread/Makefile.am, gmodule/Makefile.am,
        tests/Makefile.am: Added various win32 related *.in files to
        EXTRA_DIST to let 'make distcheck' procude all the corresponding
        files, which it silently fails to do currently.

2000-03-23  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: After finding the right thread library (containing
        e.g. pthread_create) we now search for the right realtime library
        (containing e.g. sched_get_priority_max). Makes the output of the
        thread related libraries correct. 

        * gtimer.c (g_usleep): The current implementation of g_usleep
        (simply calling select) doesn't work reliable for multi-threaded
        programs on some platforms (bad omen for the main loop....), so I
        changed the implementation for thread-using programs to wait for a
        GCond for the specified amount of time (NB: sleep and usleep are
        not MT-safe in general, because they often use signals).

Wed Mar 22 16:49:57 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_area_compare): Fix indentation.

2000-03-22 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_area_compare): Fix 64-bitness bug in
        comparing two pointers more than 4G apart.

2000-03-22  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c: Move Win32-only includes after inclusion of glib.h, so
        that G_OS_WIN32 is defined.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Add GSystemThread.

2000-03-22  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): Ok, Marcus Brinkmann
        <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de> convinced me, that 128 KB
        path length might not be enough for the HURD. So I changed the
        loop to at least avoid an integer overflow, which could happen at
        beyond 2GB size ;-)

        * configure.in: Test for sched_yield as the native yield function
        first. Corrected typo g_thread_sleep -> g_usleep. Corrected
        message for the pthread_create test. Negative Priorities are
        allowed (and used on Solaris), so consider
        sched_get_priority_min failed only if it returns -1, not <0. Check
        for sched_get_priority_min also in -lrt, if not found in -lpthread
        alone and add -lrt to G_THREAD_LIBS then. Remove special case
        handling of priorities for older solaris versions and posix
        threads. Thanks to Wan-Teh Chang <wtc@netscape.com> for suggesting
        some of those changes.

        * config.guess, config.sub, ltconfig, ltmain.sh:
        Upgrade to libtool 1.3.4.

2000-03-21  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h, configure.in, gutils.h: always define G_GNUC_EXTENSION,
        even when not needed by GLib. That's actually also the way, the
        GLib reference manual describes that macro. Therefore I had to
        remove the lonesome #include <glibconfig.h> in gutils.c, which
        doesn't seem to be needed there however. This change should make
        Ben Gertzfield <che@debian.org> happy.

        * gutils.c: Furthermore two warnings in gutils.c were voided,
        which crept in due to my last change.

        * gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): Allocate only up to 128KB for a
        pathname. While this is an arbitrary value just like 2048, it
        seems to be enough (after all, even 4GB is an arbitrary value).

2000-03-20  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmain.c (g_main_poll): Warn in case of an error during the call
        to poll(2). Closes Bug#7564 as reported by David Helder
        <dhelder@umich.edu>.

        * gutils.c (g_get_current_dir): Make g_get_current_dir work on
        systems with unlimited pathname length like the HURD (It worked
        there before, but only for pathes shorter than 2048). Closes
        Bug#4525 as reported by Marcus Brinkmann
        <Marcus.Brinkmann@ruhr-uni-bochum.de>.

2000-03-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * giounix.c (g_io_unix_write, g_io_unix_read): Interpret EINTR as
        G_IO_ERROR_AGAIN.

2000-03-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Added the missing POSIX_NO_YIELD and
        POSIX_NO_PRIORITIES warning messages.

        * configure.in: Use AC_TRY_RUN instead of AC_TRY_LINK, to test for
        real thread support. On solaris pthread_create can be linked to
        even in -lc, but it doesn't work then.

        * configure.in: Don't use priorities for threads, when the
        minimal/maximal priorities couldn't be determined at configure
        time.

        * configure.in, gthread.c: Always define GSystemThread in
        glibconfig.h to represent a system thread.

        * configure.in: Do not use native recursive threads, when
        possibe. We use some features, that they do not expose (namely the
        depth counter).

        * glib.h, gthread.c: Redefined GStaticRecMutex. The functions are
        now implemented in a different way, which should be way
        faster. Alsothere are now functions g_static_rec_mutex_unlock_full
        and g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full to leave/enter a recursive mutex
        completly.

        * gthread.c (g_thread_self): Do not test the system_thread to be
        non-zero to speed things up.

        * gthread.c (g_mutex_init): Therefore set the system_thread of the
        main thread here.

        * tests/thread-test.c: Rerun all tests once again, but this time
        we fool the system into thinking, that the available thread system
        is not native, but userprovided.

2000-03-13  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gqueue.c (g_queue_push_tail_link, g_queue_push_head_link): We
        want the next and prev pointer of the inserted link to be NULL.

2000-03-06  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Another small change to the pthread_.. search
        pattern. Should work *now* for AIX.

2000-03-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_error_message): New function that returns the
        message string for a Win32 error code.

        * glib.h: Declare it.

        * glib.def: Export it, plus g_node_copy.

2000-03-03  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Make the search for pthread_attr_... prototypes
        find names at the start of a line also, like it is on AIX. Thanks
        to Valdis Kletnieks <Valdis.Kletnieks@vt.edu> for the info.

Wed Mar  1 10:39:39 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gslist.c (g_slist_reverse): minor optimization.

        * testglib.c (g_node_test): added a couple of tests for
        g_node_copy().

        * glib.h:
        * gnode.c (g_node_copy): new function to copy subtrees,
        supplied by dbsears@ix.netcom.com.
        changed iterator to walk the children list backwards, so
        we get down from O(n^2) to O(n).

        * gnode.c (g_node_first_sibling): applied patch from
        dbsears@ix.netcom.com to optimize access if node->parent
        is present.

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): backed out HAVE_PW_GECOS check around
        assignment of g_real_name, sicne HAVE_PW_GECOS is never defined and
        thus breaks the original code.

        * merged changes from 1.2.7.

Fri Jan 28 11:37:41 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        Bug #4156 - Changes vaguely modelled after Scott Gifford's patch

        * gtimer.c (g_timer_elapsed): Never report negative times -
        clip times to 0.

        * gmain.c (g_timeout_prepare): Guard against unexpected
        clock shifts by never setting a timeout of more than
        data->interval msecs.

2000-02-27  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add new functions.

2000-02-23  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Add a missing step to the setup instructions for
        gcc-2.95.2. Thanks to Arnaud Charlet.

        * glib.def: Add missing entry point.

2000-02-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Changed GCC version test to also accept major
        versions > 2. Thanks to Ben Gertzfield <che@debian.org> for
        pointing this out.

Thu Feb 17 12:53:44 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstring.c: changed g_str_hash() to a 31 bit version based on
        a submission by Karl Nelson and hand optimized ad absurdum by
        various people ;)

        * gstring.c: applied patch from havoc for new gstring functions,
        added some more sanity checks, coding style fixups.

2000-02-13  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * tests/string-test.c (main): Add tests for the new GString 
        features

        * testglib.c (main): Add tests for the new GString features

        * gstring.c (g_string_insert_len): New function; insert 
        a given length of string at a given position. 
        (g_string_append): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_len
        (g_string_append_len): new function
        (g_string_insert_c): accept -1 for "pos" arg to mean "append"
        (g_string_append_c): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_c
        (g_string_prepend): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_len
        (g_string_prepend_len): new function
        (g_string_prepend_c): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_c
        (g_string_insert): reimplement in terms of g_string_insert_len

        * glib.h: Declare g_string_insert_len, g_string_append_len,
        g_string_prepend_len

Sun Feb 13 08:16:47 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: wtf??? someone destroyed the configure.in, reverting to
        an older version from Feb 4 which apears to still work.

2000-02-07  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gmodule.rc.in gthread.rc.in: Move to corresponding subdirectories.

        * Makefile.am
        * gmodule/Makefile.am
        * gthread/Makefile.am: Change accordingly.

        * makefile.cygwin: Corresponding changes, some cleanup.

2000-02-05  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.rc.in gmodule.rc.in gthread.rc.in: New files, for putting
        version info in the DLLs on Win32.

        * Makefile.am: Generate corresponding *.rc files and distribute
        them.

        * makefile.cygwin.in: Add rules to automatically bump a "build
        number" in the version info in the rc files each time the DLL is
        built. But do this only for the person who releases binaries. If
        others build the DLLs, the build number is set to zero.

Fri Feb  4 19:36:05 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: 
        * gdataset.c: return stolen data from g_datalist_id_remove_no_notify()
        and g_dataset_id_remove_no_notify() to avoid second lookup for common
        use.

2000-02-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h
        * gstrfuncs.c (g_filename_to_utf8, g_filename_from_utf8): New
        functions for conversion between UTF-8 and the encoding expected
        by C runtime functions like open() and stat(), and returned by
        readdir().

        Implement them on Win32 where we use the system "ANSI" codepage,
        which might be single-byte or double-byte. On Unix, just skip the
        issue for now and provide dummy implementations that return a copy
        of the argument.

        * README.win32
        * build-dll
        * glib.def: Minor updates.

Wed Jan 26 05:24:38 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gmain.c: s/current_time/dispatch_time/ for the dispatch() handlers.
        refetch the current time after invocation of poll() to cover up for
        the time spent in that function call.

Fri Jan 21 10:18:24 2000  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * glib.h (G_N_ELEMENTS): Added G_N_ELEMENTS macro to determine
        the number of elements in an array.

Sun Jan  9 13:28:36 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strtod): correctly fetch the current locale,
        fix from owen.

1999-12-16  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gmodule/gmodule-win32.c: Use FormatMessage to translate system
        error codes into textual messages.

1999-11-25  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h (G_TRYLOCK): This of course should return TRUE in a
        program with a thread-disabled GLib.

1999-11-18  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: g_strjoin was missing.

1999-11-16  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * acconfig.h, config.h.win32.in, configure.in: Renamed
        GLIB_SIZEOF_PTHREAD_T to GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to reflect
        changed meaning.

        * configure.in: Cope with systems, that have a pthread_t type,
        that is not a pointer. Hint from Karl Nelson
        <kenelson@ece.ucdavis.edu>. Define GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD to 4
        for Solaris. Cope with systems, that have no default mutex
        initialize, like obviously most DCE systems.

        * glib.h, gthread.c: Changed the prototype of thread_create and
        thread_self to return the system thread into provided memory
        instead of a return value. This is necessary, as HPUX has a
        pthread_t, that is bigger than the biggest integral type there.

        * gthread.c: system_thread is no longer a pointer, but an memory
        area of size GLIB_SIZEOF_SYSTEM_THREAD. Changed the
        zeroinitialization and the tests for zeroness accordingly.

1999-11-09  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Create docs/glib-config.1 from
        docs/glib-config.1.in. Makes 'make distcheck' happy (and me too).

        * glib-config.1: Removed from CVS, as it is a generated file.

1999-11-08  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Make the test for getpwuid_r work on newer AIX
        versions, too. Still works on Solaris and Linux. Patch from Craig
        Rodrigues <rodrigc@mediaone.net>.

1999-11-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gwin32.c (g_win32_getlocale): Look at env vars LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE
        and LANG first. Some refinements to the sublanguage logic.

1999-11-04  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Add gwin32 object. Add rule to make .i
        (preprocessed source) files.

1999-11-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h
        * glib.def: Rename Win32-only functions from gwin_* to g_win32_*
        to match the GLib naming conventions.

        * gutils.c
        * gwin32.c
        * testglib.c
        * Makefile.am: Move the Win32-only functions to the new
        file gwin32.c

1999-10-31  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gutils.c (gwin_getlocale): New Win32-specific function, returns
        a Unixish current locale string (en, zh_TW etc).

        * glib.h: Declare it.

        * glib.def: Export it.

        * testglib.c: Test it.

        * gmessages.c (Win32: ensure_stdout_valid): Some improvements,
        make sure we don't call AllocConsole several times, which I think
        has happened.

Sun Oct 31 18:55:01 1999  ape@spacetec.no  (Asbjorn Pettersen)

        * gcache.c (g_cache_remove): Test if node is NULL.
        If not tested, GIMP's script-fu will crash. 

Sun Oct 17 18:11:40 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gdataset.c (g_data_set_internal): remove g_dataset_global_lock around
        destroy() notification here as well.

1999-10-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gdataset.c (g_datalist_clear_i): Avoid Freezing, when g_datalist
        is called recursivly. Reported by Ola Andersson <rand@ling.umu.se>.

Tue Oct 12 14:17:12 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: removed useless g_string(x) macro that cluttered the namespace
        and was just a poor wrapper around the cpp '#' symbol, use #x if you
        need to work around this.
        added new macro G_STRINGIFY(arg) that will convert arg to a string,
        no matter whether it contains macros or not.

1999-10-12  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * config.h.win32.in: Define the new GLIB_SIZEOF_* constants here,
        too.

        * glib.h: Small Win32 comments improvement.

Tue Oct 12 12:16:12 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmessages.c (g_printf_string_upper_bound): completly new
        implementation for printf string upper bounds calculation.
        we handle all glibc 2.1 format specifiers now, except for positional
        parameters (%nn$...) and wide char strings, plus some obscure upper
        case variants of the standard conversions. this fixes a lot of
        bugs in the old code, i.e.
        - NULL format strings
        - floats with exponents >+24
        - %G
        - precision specifications in general
        - negative field widths
        - %p for SIZEOF_VOID_P > 4 platforms
        we now issue warnigns in places where the old code would have
        caused buffer overruns anyways. warnings are suppressed when invoked
        from glogv(), to avoid infinite recursions if someone passes a log
        message that comes with really obscure format specifications.

Tue Oct 12 11:49:00 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gstrfuncs.c: nuked old g_printf_string_upper_bound() version.

Tue Oct 12 03:34:40 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added GFloatIEEE754 and GDoubleIEEE754 unions to access sign,
        mantissa and exponent of IEEE floats and doubles (required by the new
        version of g_printf_string_upper_bound). the unions are endian specific,
        we handle G_LITTLE_ENDIAN and G_BIG_ENDIAN as of currently. ieee floats
        and doubles are supported (used for storage) by at least intel, ppc and
        sparc, reference:
        http://twister.ou.edu/workshop.docs/common-tools/numerical_comp_guide/ncg_math.doc.html

Mon Oct 11 18:01:49 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: added additional checks to figure sizes of size_t,
        ptrdiff_t and intmax_t (required by g_printf_string_upper_bound).

Wed Oct  6 12:44:23 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * configure.in: blah. use G_WITH_CYGWIN instead of G_HAVE_CYGWIN

1999-10-05  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h: (Win32) Drop the mapping of POSIX function names to the
        underscored versions, it's unnecessary after all. With MSVC we get
        them from oldnames.lib, with gcc-2.95 and mingw32 from
        -lmoldname-msvc. Add comment about what headers to include for
        prototypes.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Don't define WIN32 and NATIVE_WIN32.

        * gerror.c (g_on_error_query): (Win32) Slightly increased verbosity.

        * build-dll: Don't strip.

        * tests/string-test.c tests/dirname-test.c: Use G_OS_WIN32.

        * glib.def: Add g_thread_use_default_impl.

Sun Oct  3 19:46:55 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * configure.in: use G_HAVE_CYGWIN instead of G_OS_FEATURE_CYGWIN

Sun Oct  3 19:25:42 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * acconfig.h
        * configure.in
        * glibconfig.h.win32: G_OS_FOO #defines. I *think* I got the cygwin
        and beos stuff right, but I haven't tested it. The respective
        porters should fix any screwups

        * glib.h
        * gerror.c
        * gmain.c
        * gmessages.c
        * gscanner.c
        * gthread.c
        * gtimer.c
        * gutils.c
        * testglib.c: use G_OS stuff

Wed Sep 22 01:53:18 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (NULL): define NULL as (0L) if __cplusplus is defined, to
        avoid "ANSI C++ forbids implicit conversion from `void *' in argument
        passing" errors upon NULL usage in C++ programs (gcc-2.95 is on crack
        for erroring out on this, instead of just issueing a warning).

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): use uncasted NULL again.

Fri Sep 17 10:24:45 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_compute_size) (g_mem_chunk_new): applied
        patch from Soeren Sandmann <sandmann@daimi.au.dk>, to force mem
        chunk's area sizes to be a multitiple of atom_size, and to
        eliminate the MAX_MEM_AREA restriction of 65536 bytes. we also
        catch cases where users pass an area size < atom size with a
        return_if_fail statement now (which is ok, because previously this
        lead to memory corruption anyways).

Thu Sep 16 13:19:54 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): add explicit (GTrashStack*) cast for NULL
        pointer to cure ANSI C++ error.

Mon Sep 13 23:25:59 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmessages.c (g_logv): in case we have to abort the program,
        debugging is enabled and we are not called recursively, try
        to abort with raise (SIGTRAP) first, so developers may ignore
        certain failure conditions during debugging stage.

Thu Aug 26 15:09:36 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * Makefile.am:
        * gmodule/Makefile.am:
        * gthread/Makefile.am: added --export-dynamic so we can load dynmic
        modules, (required, according to the libtool 1.3.3 docu).

1999-07-23  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * grand.c (g_rand_new): Use /dev/urandom, as it doesn't block,
        which /dev/random might do. Do not XOR the time, when getting the
        seed form /dev/urandom, as this is good itself. Prevent the
        initial seed from being zero, which causes the PRNG to produce
        only zeros. Hints from Colin Plumb <colin@pgp.com>.

1999-08-17  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_push): Add a cast.

        * gslist.c
        * glist.c: Make the inline functions static inline, and add
        separate extern wrappers. Not all compilers produce callable entry
        points for inline functions, even if gcc does.

Sun Aug 15 02:47:14 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h (g_trash_stack_pop): eliminate memset() call, since string.h
        has not neccessarily been included prior to glib.h.

Mon Aug  2 21:03:10 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: added --enable-msg-prefix option.

        * gmessages.c (g_log_default_handler): feature "prg_name (pid:%u): "
        if --enable-msg-prefix was selected (use "(process:%u): " if
        g_get_prgname () returns NULL, along the lines of g_on_error_query).

1999-08-03  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h
        * gstrfuncs.c
        * tests/strfunc-test.c: Rename g_strccpy to g_strcompress and
        g_strecpy to g_strescape per Tim Janik's suggestion. Dropped the
        destination parameter, always g_malloc a new string.  Fix bug in
        g_strcompress, octal digits were gobbled up without limit, should
        use max three.

        Sources that use g_strescape must have ifdefs to be compilable
        both with GLib 1.2 and 1.3.

Sat Jul 31 17:52:03 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * glib.h
        * gstrfuncs.c: the #define for g_strescape interfered with the
        compilation of the function, so just remove the function and
        note that it's deprecated in the header

1999-08-01  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strccpy, g_strecpy): New functions.

        * glib.h: Declare and document them. Define the deprecated
        g_strescape as a macro that calls g_strecpy.

        * tests/strfunc-test.c (main): Test them.

        * makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in
        * tests/makefile.{cygwin,msc}.in: Remove gstack and its test
        program.

        * glib.def: Additions and removals.

        * README.win32: Improve gcc build instructions.

        * build-dll: Also build import library for MSVC.

Sat Jul 24 20:11:35 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * merged GLib 1.3.0 with glib-1.2.3 from Fri Jul 16 22:18:36.
        * incorporated proposed cleanups from gtk-devel-list.

        * bumped version number to GLib-1.3.1

        * glib.h:
        * gqueue.c:
        * gstring.c:
        * glist.c:
        removed string tokenisation (we got g_strsplit() and g_strjoin()
        already) and readline functions.
        s/g_list_delete/g_list_delete_link.
        implemented g_slist_delete_link.
        removed notion of g_ATEXIT() macro in glib.h, this is an *internal*
        macro, g_atexit() is provided for public consumption.
        added GTrashStack inline utility functions.
        reimplement double eneded queues.
        removed GStack implementation, people can use a queue or a (singly)
        linked list for this task.
        deprecated g_strescape(), we need the SunOS variants here.

        * gdate.c: added DEBUG_MSG() macro to wrap old messages.

        * *.*: CVS merges.

        * upgrade to libtool 1.3.3.

1999-07-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        Win32: With the latest gcc (2.95, pre-release), we can have binary
        compatibility with MSVC by using the switch -fnative-struct. No
        longer build DLLs with .gcc in the name when using gcc.

        * README.win32: Renew gcc build instructions.

        * build-dll: Comments change, handle also .a files.

        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in: Remove .gcc from DLL name.

1999-07-13  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Correct URL for mingw runtime sources.

        * build-dll: Combine commands with &&.

        * glib.h: Map also rmdir() and hypot() for MSVCRT library.

        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in: New DLL naming style. GCC-compiled DLLs are
        now called *.gcc.dll, to avoid binary incompatibilities with
        MSVC-compiled versions.

        * makefile.msc.in: Cosmetics.

1999-07-07  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Test for pthread_join rather than for
        pthread_create to determine the right thread-lib. Makes it work on
        mips-sgi-irix6.5. Hitn from to Jari Vuoksenranta
        <javu@piano.ux.phys.jyu.fi>.

1999-07-02  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Note about need to fix another bug in the mingw32
        headers.

        * makefile.msc.in: Debugging turned on via an nmake variable,
        no need to edit the makefile.

1999-07-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, acconfig.h, gutils.c: Added a g_memmove
        replacement for platforms without memmove, where bcopy can't
        handle overlapping copies and the corresponding checks, which is
        taken form the PERL Configure routine.

        * glib.h: Updated the commentary about g_memmove to be right and
        more GLib-like.

        * configure.in: Removed test for rand_r, as it isn't used anymore.

1999-06-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h, grand.c: Finally removed the g_random_normal and
        g_rand_normal functions.

1999-06-28  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.def: Add missing export of g_strncasecmp.

1999-06-21  Jose Mercado  <jmercado@mit.edu>

        * glib.spec.in: Changed version number (1.1->1.3) in files section
        to allow rpm to build packages again.

1999-06-21  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * README.win32: Update the pthreads snapshot version we want.
        Advice how to hand-expand the makefile.*.in files.

        * config.h.win32.in: Define values needed by Sebastian Wilhelmi's
        new thread stuff.

        * glib.def: Add new functions.

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Update the pthreads snapshot version.
        Fix typo.

        * gthread.c: Include config.h, guard inclusion of unistd.h.  When
        using gcc on Win32, g_thread_functions_for_glib_use must be marked
        for export here, too.

        * gtimer.c: Implement g_usleep on native Win32 using Sleep (which
        only has millisecond granularity, though).

        * makefile.cygwin.in
        * makefile.msc.in: Update pthreads snapshot version. File
        name changes. Remove testgthread.

        * tests/makefile.cygwin.in
        * tests/makefile.msc.in: Add thread-test. Link with gthread lib.

1999-06-18  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        AC_TRY_COMPILE to AC_TRY_LINK.

1999-06-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in, acglib.m4, acconfig.h, glib.h, gthread.c:
        Completed the thread support in GLib. Thread creation,
        prioritizing threads, yielding, joining threads as well as
        reader/writer locks and recursive mutexes are now in place. Please
        test heavily on your platform. It is so far tested on
        Linux/i386/pthreads, Solaris/Sparc/pthreads and
        Solaris/Sparc/solaristhreads.

        * gtimer.c, glib.h: Implement g_usleep (gulong microseconds) for
        thread safe sleeping. (sleep() is not MT-safe at all!)

        * gutils.c: Avoid compiler warning.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/thread-test.c: New program to test some
        aspects of the thread implementation.

        * gthread.c, Makefile.am: Renamed from gmutex.c to reflect the
        change of content.

        * configure.in: Purged all appearances of nspr. 

Wed Jun  2 11:42:46 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * acinclude.m4
        * config.guess
        * config.status
        * ltconfig
        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.3.2 (BeOS changes merged)

1999-05-29  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strescape): Backslashify also '"' characters.

        * glib.h: Document g_strescape.

1999-05-12  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * glib.h (Win32): Map fileno to _fileno for mingw32. Map fstat to
        _fstat.

        * README.win32: Advice also to remove -lmoldname in the
        patch to the egcs-1.1.2 spec file.

Wed May 12 00:23:55 CDT 1999 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * gmodule/Makefile.am: Another small fix.

1999-05-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Correct rules for making the
        win32-related files that are made from corresponding .in files.
        Is there a cleaner way than explicitly writing rules that invoke
        config.status?

Fri Jul 16 22:18:36 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * ltconfig
        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.3.3

1999-06-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gdate.c, gstrfuncs.c, gstring.c: Fixed the use of the
        is..... and to..... macros, which take unsigned chars, not chars!
        Thanks to Morten Welinder <terra@diku.dk> for pointing this out.

Thu Jun  3 16:30:31 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * gerror.c (g_on_error_query): check isatty() before querying so
        we don't loop endlessly

Sat May 29 11:16:29 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * acinclude.m4
        * config.guess
        * config.status
        * ltconfig
        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.3.2

1999-05-26  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmain.c: provide a poll prototype for SunOS, as they do not do
        it self. Hint from Christian Parg <cparg@fs-design.de>.

Tue May 25 12:23:07 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gstrfuncs.c (g_strchug): Use g_memmove() not memmove().
        (Reported by Charles Levert <charles@comm.polymtl.ca>)

Mon May 10 22:03:52 CDT 1999 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * Released GLib 1.2.3

1999-05-08  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am tests/Makefile.am: Correct rules for making the
        win32-related files that are made from corresponding .in files.
        Is there a cleaner way than explicitly writing rules that invoke
        config.status?

Sat May  1 10:18:01 PDT 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.3

1999-04-30  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * Makefile.am: Don't distribute glibconfig.h.win32.in, but
        glibconfig.h.win32. Generate it when making a dist. Also generate
        makefile.msc and config.h.win32 from corresponding .in files when
        making dist.

        * configure.in: Also substitute @GLIB_INTERFACE_AGE@ and
        @GLIB_BINARY_AGE@ (needed in config.h.win32).

        * glibconfig.h.win32.in: Use static mutex structure and initial
        value corresponding to the 1999-04-07 snapshot of pthreads-win32.

        * tests/Makefile.am: Distribute makefile.msc. Generate it when
        making dist.

        * tests/makefile.msc.in: New file.

        * gstrfuncs.c: minor code cleanups.

Tue Apr 27 13:11:29 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_poll): Mask out ERR HUP and NVAL from
        the events field so we don't give IRIX fits.

Tue Apr 20 08:42:22 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): behave conservative with
        G_TOKEN_IDENTIFIER_NULL and always assume scanner->value.v_string
        to be "null" in that case.

1999-04-20  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gutils.c (g_vsnprintf):  When using the vsnprintf()
        implementation, '\0'-terminate the resulting string
        and return its length rather than -1.

Mon Apr 19 13:42:21 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_iterate): Added missing
        #ifdef G_THREADS_ENABLED. (I never liked G_THREADS_ENABLED in
        the first place!)

1999-04-18  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>

        * gutils.c (g_snprintf): When using the vsnprintf()
        implementation, '\0'-terminate the resulting string
        and return its length rather than -1.

Fri Apr 16 06:52:07 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): feature G_TOKEN_EOF as a valid
        expected token as well, so we get "- expected end of file" instead of
        "- expected (unknown) token <0>".

Tue Apr 13 16:16:14 CDT 1999 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

        * Released GLib 1.2.2

1999-04-12  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@mh69.mh.cuc.edu>

        * g_strchug(): s/strcpy/memmove/

1999-04-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Adjusted the test for an unimplemented
        getpwuid_r. Info from Michael Pruett <mikep@ugcs.caltech.edu>.

Sun Apr 11 15:07:34 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: bumped versin number to GLib 1.2.2, interface 2,
        binary 2.

        * NEWS: updates.

Sun Apr 11 14:37:06 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

Sat Apr 10 19:30:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: removed braces around inline strings for the G_GNUC_FUNCTION
        and G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION macros, so the macros can be used for
        compile time string concatenation.

Thu Apr  8 19:53:19 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

        * gmain.c (g_main_iterate): Check for two threads
        calling g_main_iterate at once.

        * gmain.c: If the set of poll file descriptors changes
        during a call to poll(), abort that call, and start
        a new poll. My test program still segfaults
        obscurely on glibc 2.0 (in read()!!!), but now it works on
        glibc 2.1, so I'll blame something else for the other segfault.

1999-03-31  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Fixed slight bug, that made configure hang on some
        systems. Please do not merge this into 1.3 branch. It's taken care
        of differently there. Info from J. Rhett Aultman
        <cuplan@alley.gator.net>

Mon Mar 22 03:54:43 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gmain.c: add user_data to the GSource ->check and ->prepare
        functions, so it can be used to e.g. pass a GPollFd.
        (g_main_poll): only add poll records with an events mask != 0 to the
        fd_array. don't even bother calling poll_func() if fds=timeout=0.
        added debugging printouts around poll_func() invokation that can be
        enabled with #define G_MAIN_POLL_DEBUG.

        GTK_CHECK_VERSION().

Sun Mar 14 17:50:35 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements
        to g_return_if_fail().
        (g_mem_profile): 
        (g_mem_chunk_print): 
        (g_mem_chunk_info): removed some extraneous "\n"s at the end of the log
        messages.

        * gtimer.c (g_timer_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements
        to g_return_if_fail().
        * grel.c (g_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements to
        g_return_if_fail() and added some extra ones to check relation != NULL.

1999-03-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Also accept _Pctime_r instead of ctime_r, while
        seraching for the right `_REENTRANT' flag. This is for Digital
        UNIX 4.0d. Thanks to Sascha Brawer <sb@adasys.ch>.

Tue Mar  9 23:25:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: check for working realloc (NULL,).
        * gmem.c (g_realloc): use malloc() for initial allocation on systems
        where realloc(NULL,) will not work (this is the case on SunOS, reported
        by Tom Geiger).

Mon Mar  8 07:42:08 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghook.c (g_hook_unref): when !hook_list->is_setup, wrap the
        flag around the call to g_hook_free() to avoid spurious
        warnings (happens during destruction phase).

1999-03-03  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glibconfig.h.win32, config.h.win32: Moved G_THREADS_IMPL_POSIX
        from config.h.win32 to glibconfig.h.win32

        * acconfig.h, configure.in, config.h.win32: Added test for DCE
        versions of mutex_trylock and cond_timedwait. The win32 versions
        are posix, aren't they?

1999-03-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmem.c: Fixed a stupid cut'n'paste error of mine. Thanks to
        Friedrich Dominicus <Friedrich.Dominicus@inka.de>

1999-03-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Fixed yet another bloody
        implementation of getpwuid_r on AIX. Thanks to Olaf Dietsche
        <olaf.dietsche+list.gtk@netcologne.de>. I would like a configure
        test better than that, but have no idea, how to do that easily.

        config.h.win32.in tests/makefile.msc.in tests/makefile.cygwin.in:
        New files, used to generate corresponding non-.in files when
        making a dist. This is just so the version numbers will be kept in
        synch automatically.

        * configure.in: Also substitute @GLIB_MAJOR_VERSION@,
        @GLIB_MINOR_VERSION@, and @GLIB_INTERFACE_AGE@.

        explicitly, they are included anyway.

1999-04-24  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        Support added for building using a GNU toolchain on Win32,
        i.e. gcc -mno-cygwin on cygwin (a.k.a. mingw32, using egcs-1.1.2).

        * gmutex.c: Must declare g_thread_functions_for_glib_use as
        exported (using the GUTILS_C_VAR macro).
        * gutils.c gmodule/libgplugin_[ab].c: LibMain not needed.
        * gmodule/gmoduleconf.h.win32: Need underscore with gcc.
        * gthread/gthread.c: With gcc on Win32, must use memcpy to assign
        value of g_thread_functions_for_glib_use (?).
        * makefile.msc tests/makefile.msc: Cosmetics.

Fri Apr 23 14:29:25 BST 1999  Tony Gale <gale@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: Fix typo in g_string_ncasecmp macro (by me).
          Add b_string_strncasecmp macro.

1999-04-22  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): use sysconf (_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) as
        the new initinal bufsize for getpwuid_r on systems, that support
        this. Hint from Holger Duerer <H.Duerer@zait.uni-bremen.de>.

1999-04-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * glib.h: Moved struct declaration up. Style fixes.

        * grand.c: Style fixes. Only try to open /dev/random once.

        * tests/rand-test.c (main): New tests; Slight bug fix. 

1999-04-09  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * grand.c, tests/rand-test.c: New files to implement the Mersenne
        Twister Pseudo Random Number Generator.

        * glib.h, AUTHORS, Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am: Changed

        * Released GLib 1.3.0

1999-03-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Added a check for the right format to printf and
        scanf long longs. It is %qi instead of %lli on FreeBSD for
        whatever reason.

1999-03-28  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * Makefile.am (glibconfig.h): Make sure `glibconfig.h' exists
        after the rule is fired.
        (install-exec-local): Install glibconfig.h only if the contents
        are different from the currently installed glibconfig.h.

1999-03-26  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * Makefile.am (configexecincludedir): Rename from 
        configincludedir so that glibconfig.h will be installed 
        as part of `make install-exec'. 

Thu Mar 25 22:45:47 1999  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

        * config.h.win32: Update version numbers.

        * glibconfig.h.win32: Update version numbers and pthreads-win32-
        related magic values.

        * README.win32: Some improvements.

        * makefile.msc: Add gqueue and gstack. Correct version number.

Fri Mar 19 16:29:50 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

        * acinclude.m4
        * config.guess
        * config.sub

        needed)

1999-03-18  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * glib.def: Add new g_list, g_stack, g_queue functions.

1999-03-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: added new AC_SUBST(GTHREAD_COMPILE_IMPL_DEFINES)
        to hold various defines to get the right thread implementation on
        different platforms. Also look in -ldce for pthread_create. Should
        make it work on HP-UX 10.x. Information from "D. Emilio Grimaldo
        Tunon" <emilio_tunon@nl.compuware.com>.

1999-03-17  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * gstack.c, gqueue.c:
        Add copyright, clean up code a bit.

1999-03-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Added missing values for G_MAXU(SHORT|INT|LONG) on
        platforms with only /usr/include/values.h.

        * acconfig.h: Removed unnecessary macros.

        * glibconfig.h.win32, config.h.win32: Moved G_THREADS_IMPL_POSIX
        from config.h.win32 to glibconfig.h.win32. Taken from glib 1.2
        branch.

        * configure.in: Also accept _Pctime_r instead of ctime_r, while
        seraching for the right `_REENTRANT' flag. This is for Digital
        UNIX 4.0d. Taken from glib 1.2 branch.

Wed Mar 17 03:14:56 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added GLIB_CHECK_VERSION() macro similar to
        GTK_CHECK_VERSION().

Wed Mar 17 01:46:28 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * merges from glib-1-2:

Sun Mar 14 17:50:35 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmem.c (g_mem_chunk_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements
        to g_return_if_fail().
        (g_mem_profile):
        (g_mem_chunk_print):
        (g_mem_chunk_info): removed some extraneous "\n"s at the end of the log
        messages.

        * gtimer.c (g_timer_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements
        to g_return_if_fail().
        * grel.c (g_*): changed a bunch of g_assert() statements to
        g_return_if_fail() and added some extra ones to check relation != NULL.

Tue Mar  9 23:25:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: check for working realloc (NULL,).
        * gmem.c (g_realloc): use malloc() for initial allocation on systems
        where realloc(NULL,) will not work (this is the case on SunOS, reported
        by Tom Geiger).

Mon Mar  8 07:42:08 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ghook.c (g_hook_unref): when !hook_list->is_setup, wrap the
        flag around the call to g_hook_free() to avoid spurious
        warnings (happens during destruction phase).

1999-03-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gmem.c: Fixed a stupid cut'n'paste error of mine. Thanks to
        Friedrich Dominicus <Friedrich.Dominicus@inka.de>

1999-03-16  Timur Bakeyev  <mc@bat.ru>

        * configure.in: Fix problem with pthread_create in libc, as running
        "gcc test.c -l " is not legal.

1999-03-16  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * tests/type-test.c: Added a test for the
        G_(U)?INT(16|32|64)_FORMAT and G_(MIN|MAX|MAXU)(SHORT|INT|LONG)
        macros.

        * configure.in: Removed G_(U)?INT8_FORMAT again, as it can't be
        used for scanf.

        * configure.in: Added the macros G_MAXU(SHORT|INT|LONG). I do not
        know how to handle these on platforms with /usr/include/values.h,
        but without /usr/include/limits.h. Please someone add this.


1999-03-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Added the macros G_(U)?INT(8|16|32|64)_FORMAT to
        use for printf and (much more important) scanf format strings for
        the corresponding GLib types. 

        * glib.h Added G_(U)?(SHORT|INT|LONG)_FORMAT for consistency. It
        however makes no sense to also provide G_(FLOAT|DOUBLE)_FORMAT, as
        they are different for printf (f for both) and scanf (f for float,
        lf for double). Defining G_INT_FORMAT makes sense however, as we
        might want to define gint to something different than int someday
        in the future. Idea from Sascha Brawer <sb@adasys.ch>.

1999-03-14  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * gdate.c:
        Commented out debugging output.

        * tests/Makefile.am, tests/date-test.c:
        Added test of the GDate module, based closely on testgdate.c.

        * tests/Makefile.am:
        Bugfix - compile tests with @GLIB_DEBUG_FLAGS@.

1999-03-14  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

        * configure.in (glibconfig.h): Remove widechar tests and defines.
        (fd_set): Change the grep for `fd_mask' to search for `fd_set'.
        * gerror.c (fd_mask): Remove conditional typedef.  It is not used
        elsewhere in the file.
        * gmain.c (fd_mask): Likewise.

1999-03-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Test for posix threads first, then for dce threads.

1999-03-11  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * configure.in: Revamped the thread configure stuff. Now dce
        threads (old posix draft) are recogniced. This is necessary,
        because dce threads are in fact working quite differently from
        posix threads. Also changed the conditions for checking for MT
        safe functions a bit, because G_THREADS_IMPL_NONE still have to
        compile thread safe. NOTE: Please do not commit my change to
        glib-1-2/{acconfig.h,configure.in,config.h.win32} from 1999-03-03,
        as the current change will take care of that too.

Tue Mar  9 14:37:32 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>

        * Makefile.am, glib.h, gstack.c, gqueue.c,
          tests/Makefile.am, tests/queue-test.c, tests/stack-test.c:
        Added stack, queue ADTs and related tests.

        * glib.h, glist.c:
        New g_list_delete() function.

Sat Mar  6 11:03:08 1999  Asbjorn Pettersen  <ape@lrdpf.spacetec.no>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): add OS/2 changes.
        change '\\' in HOME to '/'.

1999-03-03  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@spin.dsl.pacbell.net>

        * glib.def: g_spaced_primes_closest was omitted here, so I
        couldn't build Xdelta on Windows.

1999-03-01  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

        * gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Fixed yet another bloody
        implementation of getpwuid_r on AIX. Thanks to Olaf Dietsche
        <olaf.dietsche+list.gtk@netcologne.de>. I would like a configure
        test better than that, but have no idea, how to do that easily.

Sat Feb 27 01:18:47 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * ChangeLog: moved old ChangeLog to ChangeLog.pre-1-2, and started
        new one.

        * configure.in: set glib version to 1.3.0.
