* 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.
* gthread/gthread-posix.c, gthread-solaris.c: Added the native
implementations for the GLib's extended thread support.
* gthread/gthread-nspr.c: Removed for good. NSPR is nothing we
would want to build upon.
* gthread/gthread.c: Renamed to gthread-impl.c to avoid
confusion with ../gthread.c (Formerly known as the file called
gmutex.c)
* gthread/testgthread.c: Removed. The new and much extended
tests are in ../tests/thread-test.c.
* gthread/Makefile.am: Changed to reflect the changes above.

* 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
accordingly.
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.
* gthread/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Added @GTHREAD_COMPILE_IMPL_DEFINES@.

* Makefile.am: -DG_LOG_DOMAIN="GThread", we don't need an extern
variable for that (noticed by Joel Becker <jlbec@ocala.cs.miami.edu>)
Wed Dec 16 03:16:58 1998 Tim Janik <timj@gtk.org>
* configure.in: version bump to 1.1.8, binary age 0, interface age 0.
* glib.h: changed g_lock() to G_LOCK(), g_unlock() to G_UNLOCK() and
g_trylock() to G_TRYLOCK(), since these are macros that expand to
nothing with --disable-threads.
changed G_LOCK_DEFINE() to G_LOCK_DECLARE() and introduced
G_LOCK_DECLARE_STATIC() to achive the results of static G_LOCK_DECLARE().
changed semantics of g_thread_supported to g_thread_supported() so it
can be used as a function like g_module_supported(). the actuall
definition is still a macro that expands into a variable for
performance reasons though.
various indentation and coding style cleanups.
* configure.in: added --enable-threads that defaults to yes.
* gmutex.c: changed tests g_thread_supported to g_thread_supported (),
changed variable settings of g_thread_supported
to g_threads_got_initialized.

* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): updated.
* testgthread.c, gthread-*.c: Changed private to private_key to
avoid problems when compiling with under C++.
branch. See the ChangeLog for details of the changes.
In brief overview:
- The set of threading functions can be set
- A default implementation is provided in -lgthread
- All static data structures are locked using these
functions if g_thread_init() is called.
