Back in the far-off twentieth century, it was normal on unix
workstations for U+0060 GRAVE ACCENT to be drawn as "‛" and for U+0027
APOSTROPHE to be drawn as "’". This led to the convention of using
them as poor-man's ‛smart quotes’ in ASCII-only text.
However, "'" is now universally drawn as a vertical line, and "`" at a
45-degree angle, making them an `odd couple' when used together.
Unfortunately, there are lots of very old strings in glib, and also
lots of new strings in which people have kept up the old tradition,
perhaps entirely unaware that it used to not look stupid.
Fix this by just using 'dumb quotes' everywhere.

* glib/gdate.c (win32_strftime_helper): New Win32-only
function. Use the wide character Win32 API to do the work of
strftime(): GetThreadLocale(), GetLocaleInfoW(), GetDateFormatW()
and GetTimeFormatW().
(g_date_strftime): On Windows use win32_strftime_helper()
instead of strftime() to avoid codepage issues with strftime().
Unfortunately using wcsftime() would not help either. (#404832)

* glib/glib.symbols:
* glib/gdate.h:
* glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time_t):
(g_date_set_time_val): Add functions to set a date from
a time_t and from a GTimeVal.
(g_date_set_time): Deprecate. (#314067, Roger Leigh)
2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
* glib/gbacktrace.c:
* glib/gdate.c:
* glib/gthread.c: const correctness fixes, found
by Arjan van de Ven and gcc.
2005-03-13 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
Make PLT-reduction work with gcc4, and don't include
everything in galias.h:
* glib/glib.symbols: Group symbols by header and source file.
* glib/makegalias.pl: Protect definitions by the same
preprocessor symbols used to guard the headers. Move
the alias declarations to a separate file which is
produced when calling makegalias.pl -def
* glib/Makefile.am (galiasdef.c): Add a rule to generate this
file.
* glib/*.c: Include galias.h after the other GLib headers,
include galiasdef.c at the bottom.
2005-01-22 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
* glib/gdate.c (g_date_set_time): Don't g_assert that localtime()
returns non-NULL. It does return NULL at least on Win32 if you
pass it a negative time_t, which although wrong, shouldn't cause
an application to abort. Instead return 2000-01-01 as a default
date. Print a warning unless G_DISABLE_CHECKS. (#164622)
Wed Sep 1 20:22:39 2004 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* glib/gdate.h:
* glib/gdate.c (g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year): Add
a function to calculate the ISO 8601 week number of
a date. (#92579, Niklas Lundell)
Fri Feb 27 01:44:41 2004 Matthias Clasen <maclas@gmx.de>
* glib/gdate.c: Translate from locale era to AD in
g_date_set_parse(). (#133400, Theppitak Karoonboonyanan)
2002-02-27 Daniel Elstner <daniel.elstner@gmx.net>
* glib/gdate.c (g_date_strftime): Remove the shortcut for UTF-8 locales to ensure consistent behaviour. Fix handling of the strftime return value, and avoid looping if strftime is buggy and constantly returns 0. Always return 0 if the output buffer was to small. (#72544)
* glib/gconvert.h: Make hostname parameter const char *.
* glib/gconvert.c: (g_unescape_uri_string): Added a new
"ASCII must not be escaped" feature, and some missing error
checking.
(is_escalphanum): New.
(is_escalpha): New.
(hostname_validate): New.
(g_filename_from_uri): Don't allow hostnames to include
escaped ASCII, validate hostnames with the new
hostname_validate.
(g_filename_to_uri): Validate hostnames with the new
hostname_validate.
* tests/uri-test.c: Updated tests to reflect the hostname
validation changes above.
* glib/gdate.c: (g_date_fill_parse_tokens): Remove the
<ctype.h> include and do isdigit -> g_ascii_isdigit.
Sun Jul 1 20:16:25 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>

g_utf8_casefold, g_utf8_strup, g_utf8_strdown.
* tests/unicode-caseconv.c tests/gen-casefold-txt.pl
tests/gen-casemap-txt.pl tests/casefold.txt
tests/casemap.txt: Test cases for case conversion.
* glib/gunicode.h glib/gunidecomp.[ch] glib/gunicomp.h
glib/gen-unicode-tables.pl: Add function to do Unicode
normalization g_utf8_normalize().
* tests/unicode-normalize.c: Test program for case conversion.
* glib/gunicode.h glib/gunicollate.c: Add collation functions
g_utf8_collate, g_utf8_collate_key.
* test/unicode-collate.c: Test program for collation.
* glib/gdate.c (g_date_fill_parse_tokens): Fix uninitialized
variable.
* glib/gdate.c (g_date_strftime) docs/Changes-2.0.txt:
Make work with UTF-8 even if the locale isn't UTF-8 based.
Still somewhat of broken, if the format string contains
characters not representable in the current locale, will warn
and not work.
* glib/gdate.c: Use UTF-8 normalization and casefolding.
Wed Jun 20 12:00:54 2001 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
Changes for 64-bit cleanliness, loosely based on patch
from Mark Murnane.
* gconvert.c (g_convert/g_convert_with_fallback): Remove
workarounds for since-fixed GNU libc bugs. Minor
doc fix.
* gconvert.[ch]: Change gint to gsize/gssize as
appropriate.
* gconvert.c (g_locale/filename_to/from_utf8): Fix incorrect
computation of bytes_read / bytes_written.
* gfileutils.[ch] (g_file_get_contents): Make length
out parameter 'gsize *len'.
* ghook.c (g_hook_compare_ids): Don't compare a
and b as 'a - b'.
* gmacros.h (GSIZE_TO_POINTER): Add GPOINTER_TO_SIZE,
GSIZE_TO_POINTER.
* gmain.c (g_timeout_prepare): Rewrite to avoid
overflows. (Fixes bug when system clock skews
backwards more than 24 days.)
* gmarkup.[ch]: Make lengths passed to callbacks
gsize, length for g_markup_parse-context_parse(),
g_markup_escape_text() gssize.
* gmessages.[ch] (g_printf_string_upper_bound): Change
return value to gsize.
* gmessages.c (printf_string_upper_bound): Remove
a ridiculous use of 'inline' on a 300 line function.
* gstring.[ch]: Represent size of string as a gsize,
not gint. Make parameters to functions take gsize,
or gssize where -1 is allowed.
* gstring.c (g_string_erase): Make
g_string_erase (string, pos, -1) a synonym for
g_string_truncate for consistency with other G*
APIs.
* gstrfuncs.[ch]: Make all functions taking a string
length, take a gsize, or gssize if -1 is allowed.
(g_strstr_len, g_strrstr_len). Also fix some boundary
conditions in g_str[r]str[_len].
* gutf8.c tests/unicode-encoding.c: Make parameters that
are byte lengths gsize, gssize as appropriate. Make
character offsets, other counts, glong.
* gasyncqueue.c gcompletion.c
timeloop.c timeloop-basic.c gutils.c gspawn.c.
Small 64 bit cleanliness fixups.

between two dates.
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.
2001-03-13 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
From Edward M. Lee <tailbert@yahoo.com>:
* gmodule-win32.c (_g_module_build_path): use (cygwin friendly) dir
separator.
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.
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.
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.
