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: * 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. 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.
