2005-11-07  Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>

	* tests/refcount/Makefile.am: Add a missing reference to libglib
	in the LDADD for this test.

2005-11-07  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gmem.c (g_allocator_new): We need to set n_preallocs to a
	nonzero value, otherwise GTK+ 2.8 breaks when compiled against
	GLib 2.9.  (#320755, Luca Ferretti)

2005-11-04  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/Makefile.am: Apply a patch from Behdad Esfahbod to 
	use a faster lookup table for g_unichar_get_mirror_char().
	* glib/gmirroringtable.h: The new table.
	* glib/gunichartables.h: Remove bidi_mirroring_table.

	Vincent Untz)

2005-11-02  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

	* glib/glib.symbols: Remove large amount of trailing whitespace
	from one line. Remove #ifdef G_UNDEFINED from around
	g_hash_table_new and g_hash_table_new_full symbols, what was the
	purpose of that? Add the g_slice functions.

Tue Nov  1 16:24:20 2005  Tim Janik  <timj@imendio.com>

	* glib/gmem.[hc]: prepared deprecation of GMemChunk and GAllocator.
	added g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.
	an actuall allocator implementation for g_slice_*() is still pending.

	* glib/gthread.[hc]: changes from a patch by Matthias Clasen.
	changed GRealThread list to use in-structure *next; fields instead
	of GSList, in order for thread iteration to not depenend on g_slice_*()
	indirectly.
	_g_thread_mem_private_get():
	_g_thread_mem_private_set(): added accessors for private memory,
	needed because the ordinary GPrivate implementation relies on GArray
	and GSList and therefore indirectly on working g_slice_*() allocations.

	* glib/gthread.[hc]:
	g_thread_foreach(): new public API function to loop over all existing threads.

	* glib/gdataset.c:
	* glib/gstring.c:
	* glib/gcache.c:
	* glib/garray.c: 
	* glib/gqueue.c:
	* glib/gslist.c:
	* glib/glist.c:
	* glib/ghash.c:
	* glib/gtree.c:
	* glib/ghook.c:
	* glib/gmain.c:
	* glib/gnode.c:
	removed GAllocator and free list usages and accompanying locks.
	use g_slice_*() API to allocate and cache small bits of memory.

	* glib/ghook.h: removed GMemChunk field from public API.

	* glib/gslist.h:
	* glib/glist.h: deprecate allocator API, provide _free1() for consistency.

	* glib/gnode.h: deprecate allocator API.

	* glib/gmain.c: reordered GPollRec fields so g_slice_free_chain() can
	be used for poll rec lists.

	* glib/grel.c: removed mem chunk usage, and allocated tuples via g_slice_*().
	g_relation_destroy(): free all tuples from the all_tuples hash table,
	this effectively maintains the life time track keeping of tuples.
	g_relation_delete_tuple(): free tuples which are removed from the
	all_tuples hash table. this fixes a temporary leak that was present
	in the memchunk code until the destruction of the relation.

2005-10-29  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
	UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.

	* glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
	of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.

2005-10-27  Erdal Ronahi  <erdal.ronahi@gmail.com>

	* configure.in: Added ku (Kurdish) to ALL_LINGUAS

2005-10-26  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
	in the error case, and add some documentation.  (#319806, Morten
	Welinder)

2005-10-19  Manish Singh  <yosh@gimp.org>

	* configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
	config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.

2005-10-19  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

	* glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
	Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
	so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
	the hash table. (#319232)

2005-10-06  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle
	all-zero sequences correctly.  (#317930, Sebastien Bacher)

2005-10-05  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Doc addition

	* Makefile.am: Add Collation tests.

	* tests/collate/*: Inputs and expected outputs for collation tests.

	* tests/run-collate-tests.sh: Script to run collation tests.

	* tests/unicode-collate.c (main): Rework slightly to make
	it usable in unit tests. Also test g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename().

	* docs/reference/glib/tmpl/unicode.sgml:
	* glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl:
	* glib/gunibreak.h:
	* glib/gunichartables.h:
	* glib/gunicode.h:
	* tests/casefold.txt:
	* tests/casemap.txt: Updated to Unicode 4.1.  There are five new
	GUnicodeBreakType types.  That may break some applications, like
	Pango <= 1.10.

2005-09-26  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strtoull): Add details to the 
	docs.  (#314393, Matthew F. Barnes)

	* glib/glib.symbols:
	* glib/gprintf.h: Remove g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf(), since
	they are already declared in glib.h. This doesn't break documented
	use of gprintf.h, but should probably be pointed out in the 
	release notes for 2.10. (#314232, Behdad Esfahbod)

Tue Sep 20 13:16:04 2005  Tim Janik  <timj@imendio.com>

	* glib/gpattern.c (g_pattern_ph_match): applied significant recursion
	complexity optimization, based on a patch from Matthias Clasen.

2005-09-20  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_insert_sorted): Correct the docs.
	(#316703, Mark Drago)

Mon Sep 19 17:23:23 2005  Tim Janik  <timj@imendio.com>

	* glib/gpattern.c: applied a patch from matthias which checks on the
	upper bound of GPatternSpec length to optimize matches.
	cosmetic fixups.

	* tests/patterntest.c: added more match cases.

2005-09-16  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

	* glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
	warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
	encodings like CP932.

2005-09-14  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.

	* glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
	of length 1.  (#316309)
	
2005-09-12  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.

2005-09-11  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <seppi@seppi.de>

	* tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
	tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
	and #314217.

2005-09-11  Kjartan Maraas  <kmaraas@gnome.org>

	* glib/gmain.c: (g_child_watch_prepare), (g_child_watch_check),
	(child_watch_helper_thread): Remove some dead code. Closes
	bug #315278.

2005-09-07  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

	* glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
	gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
	It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
	as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
	
	* glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
	Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
	the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
	to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
	dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
	make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.

	(g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
	to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.

	(do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
	version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
	avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
	case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
	spawn another console application we would get a separate console
	for the spawned console application).

	* glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.

2005-09-05  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
	if the file is too large.  (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)

	* glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
	of read() is signed.  (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
	
2005-08-31  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

	* glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
	the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.

	#define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
	better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
	gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
	itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
	function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
	the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.

	* glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
	real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
	the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
	atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
	on Unix.

2005-08-31  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/glib.symbols: 
	* glib/gquark.h: 
	* glib/gdataset.c: Add string interning functions.

2005-08-28  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/giochannel.c: Unify some near-duplicate strings. (#314654,
	Clytie Siddall)
	
2005-08-26  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* configure.in: Bump version to 2.9.0

2005-08-25  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

	Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
	file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
	API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
	use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
	have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
	header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
	behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
	stability.
	
	* glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
	g_spawn*() functions.
	
	* glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
	Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
	system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
	spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
	that take parameters in the system codepage.

	* glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
	wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
	change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
	debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
	features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
	need to have them permanently in the source.)

	* glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.

	* glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
	symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.

2005-08-24  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
	guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
	between signed and unsigned.

2005-08-23  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.

2005-08-23  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.

2005-08-23  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

2005-08-18  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@novell.com>

	* configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>

	* glib/gbacktrace.c: Include <sys/wait.h> on if HAVE_SYS_WAIT_H.

	Note copied code.
	
	* tests/string-test.c:
	Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.

2005-08-17  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.

	* glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
	define environ using _NSGetEnviron().  (#313731)

2005-08-16  Stepan Kasal  <kasal@ucw.cz>

	* glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
	(g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
	(g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
	(g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
	Make use of these two throughout the code.

2005-08-15  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
	the child process and then simply return. This makes 
	The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
	(#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)

	* glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
	values.  (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)

	* glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
	a little.  (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)

	* glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the 
	check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up 
	in yet another section.
