Tim Janik 30a1e1addb completly new implementation for printf string upper bounds calculation.
Tue Oct 12 12:16:12 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gmessages.c (g_printf_string_upper_bound): completly new implementation
        for printf string upper bounds calculation.
        we handle all glibc 2.1 format specifiers now, except for positional
        parameters (%nn$...) and wide char strings, plus some obscure upper
        case variants of the standard conversions. this fixes a lot of
        bugs in the old code, i.e.
        - NULL format strings
        - floats with exponents >+24
        - %G
        - precision specifications in general
        - negative field widths
        - %p for SIZEOF_VOID_P > 4 platforms
        we now issue warnigns in places where the old code would have
        caused buffer overruns anyways. warnings are suppressed when invoked
        from glogv(), to avoid infinite recursions if someone passes a log
        message that comes with really obscure format specifications.

        * gstrfuncs.c: nuked old g_printf_string_upper_bound() version.

Tue Oct 12 03:34:40 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: added GFloatIEEE754 and GDoubleIEEE754 unions to access sign,
        mantissa and exponent of IEEE floats and doubles (required by the new
        version of g_printf_string_upper_bound). the unions are endian specific,
        we handle G_LITTLE_ENDIAN and G_BIG_ENDIAN as of currently. ieee floats
        and doubles are supported (used for storage) by at least intel, ppc and
        sparc, reference:
        http://twister.ou.edu/workshop.docs/common-tools/numerical_comp_guide/ncg_math.doc.html

Mon Oct 11 18:01:49 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * configure.in: added additional checks to figure sizes of size_t,
        ptrdiff_t and intmax_t (required by g_printf_string_upper_bound).

 *** IMPORTANT *** 

This is a development version of GLib.  You should be using a stable
version, which is available at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/.  This
version is meant for developers of GLib only:

 * You should not base stable software on this version of GLib.
 * GNOME developers should use a stable version of GLib.

Distributions should *NOT* ship a development package of this GLib.
Do not ship the headers and do not ship the glib-config script.  These
things will conflict with the stable 1.2 series.  Package only enough
to satisfy the requirements of some other package.  Package only the
library itself.  Doing otherwise will do no favors to the community.

If you install this version of GLib, we strongly recommend that you
install it in a different prefix than GLib 1.2.  Use --prefix as an
argument to configure to do this.  Otherwise, you will not be able to
do development with GLib 1.2 any longer.

*** You should be using GLib 1.2 instead. ***


General Information
===================

This is GLib version 1.3.1. GLib is a library which includes support
routines for C such as lists, trees, hashes, memory allocation, and
many other things.

Installation
============

See the file 'INSTALL'

How to report bugs
==================

To report a bug, send mail either to gtk-list, as mentioned
above, or to gtk-bugs@gtk.org. If you send mail to gtk-list, you
must be subscribed yourself.

In the mail include:

* The version of GLib

* Information about your system. For instance:

   - What operating system and version
   - What version of X
   - For Linux, what version of the C library

  And anything else you think is relevant.

* How to reproduce the bug. 

  If you can reproduce it with the testglib program that is built 
  in the glib/ directory, that will be most convenient.  Otherwise, 
  please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. 
  As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece 
  of software that can be downloaded.

* If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out
  when the crash occured.

* Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but
  is not necessary.

Patches
=======

Patches can be uploaded to the incoming/ directory on
ftp.gtk.org.  Please follow the instructions there, and include
your name and email address in the README file.

If the patch fixes a bug, it is usually a good idea to include
all the information described in "How to Report Bugs".
