version bump to 1.1.3, binary age 0, interface age 0. Sun Aug 16 20:28:27 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * version bump to 1.1.3, binary age 0, interface age 0. * glib.h: be nice to platforms that don't have gint64 and don't issue #warning on every compilation. since glib doesn't require gint64 itself, packages that need gint64 should test for this themselves. * glib.h: * gutils.c: added a new function g_vsnprintf(). Fri Aug 14 16:41:53 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * glib.h: added static inline functions for bit mask tests: g_bit_nth_lsf, g_bit_nth_msf and g_bit_storage. Fri Aug 13 14:23:37 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * glib.h: * gmessages.c: revised the message handling system, which is now based on a new mechanism g_log*. most of the assertment macros got adapted to feature the new g_log() call with an additional specification of the log level in a preprocessor macro G_LOG_DOMAIN. if G_LOG_DOMAIN is undefined upon the includion of glib.h, it'll be defined with a value of (NULL) and thus preserves the original bahaviour for warning and error messages. the message handler setting functions for g_warning, g_error and g_message are only provided for backwards compatibility and might get removed somewhen. * Makefile.am: feature the G_LOG_DOMAIN macro to set the log domain to "GLib" upon compilation. we currently have to add this definition to the DEFS variable. * testglib.c: we need an ugly #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN at the start of this file currently, since automake doesn't support per target _CFLAGS yet. * glib.h: changed some gints to gbooleans, made a few const corrections, removed some superfluous G_STMT_START{}G_STMT_END wrappers, added some in other required places. * gnode.c: (g_node_prepend): (g_node_insert_before): (g_node_insert): (g_node_append_data): (g_node_prepend_data): (g_node_insert_data_before): (g_node_insert_data): (g_node_append): return (node), so these macros/functions can be usefully chained with g_node_new(). [GModule] Fri Aug 14 02:24:39 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org> * Makefile.am: feature the G_LOG_DOMAIN macro to set the log domain to "GModule" upon compilation. we currently have to add this definition to the DEFS variable. * testgmodule.c: we need an ugly #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN at the start of this file currently, since automake doesn't support per target _CFLAGS yet.

Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.3:
* New library gmodule included which basically wraps dlopen() facilities.
* New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
associated with certain log domains.
Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.2:
* Fixed packaging mistake which occured in 1.1.1
* fix 64-bitness in g_prints in glibtest
What is new in GLib 1.1.1:
* An n-way tree implementation is provided now, based on the GNode structure.
* Bugfix for pointer arrays.
1998-07-27 03:56:45 +02:00
What is new in GLib 1.1.0:
* GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated
shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
incompatibilities.
* There is a glib-config helper script installed now.
* Fixups all over the place.
* gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore.
* API extensions for GList and GSList.
* New g_str*() functions for simple string handling.
* GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
* Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
* Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
* More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
* Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
gconstpointer.
* Generic functions for TAB completions.
* GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.
