|
||||
- g_getenv: expands environment variables that contain references

|
||||
buffer position and blow the file read ahead buffer
|
||||
- g_array_remove_index: remove an entry, preserving the order
|
||||
- g_array_remove_index_fast: remove an entry, order might be distorted
|
||||
- g_ptr_array_remove: remove an entry, preserving the order
|
||||
- g_ptr_array_remove_fast: remove an entry, order might be distorted
|
||||
- g_byte_array_remove_index: wrapper for g_array_remove_index

|
||||
|
||||
Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.3
|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
* New GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic
|
||||
object code loading facilities in a portable manner.
|
||||
* glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
|
||||
(add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
|
||||
be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
|
||||
* Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
|
||||
sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
|
||||
* New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
|
||||
associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
|
||||
* New inline functions for bit masks tests.
|
||||
* GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
|
||||
* New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
|
||||
platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
|
||||
a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
|
||||
People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
|
||||
associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
|
||||
* New utility functions:
|
||||
g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
|
||||
g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
|
||||
g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
|
||||
* Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
|
||||
changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
|
||||
* The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
|
||||
new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
|
||||
keyed data of GtkObjects).
|
||||
* New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
|
||||
* Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
|
||||
* Libtool update to version 1.2b.
|
||||
* Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.2
|
||||
=================================
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
=================================
|
||||
|
||||
* An n-way tree implementation is provided now, based on the GNode structure.
|
||||
* Bugfix for pointer arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Overview of changes 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.

* Bugfix for pointer arrays.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
