        * gmem.[hc]: got rid of outdated dmalloc support. provide g_try_malloc()
        and g_try_realloc() which _may_ fail and return NULL.
        nuked g_mem_check(), provided GMemVTable for memory function
        virtualization, alterable at program startup with g_mem_set_vtable().
        provided glib_mem_profiler_table and g_mem_profile() to support limited
        profiling information out of the box (uses mprotect() for free()ed areas
        on linux).
        provide globally visible G_MEM_ALIGN.
        buncha cleanups.

        * docs/macros.txt: file to get a clue about the various configuration
        macros.

        * docs/debugging.txt: explain debugging traps.

        * configure.in: got rid of --enable-mem-check and --enable-mem-profile,
        define GLIB_SIZEOF_VOID_P and GLIB_SIZEOF_LONG. check malloc prototypes
        and define SANE_MALLOC_PROTOS is we can use them.
        <boy, is this file a mess>

        * gutils.c, gscanner.c: fix up compatibility warnings, use g_message().


Thu Dec 28 11:36:44 2000  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * gbsearcharray.c (upper_power2): disable G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2
        fucntionality if DISABLE_MEM_POOLS is defined.

        * gtype.c: honour DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.

        * gsignal.c (g_signal_init): flag signal key bsearch array with
        G_BSEARCH_ALIGN_POWER2 to avoid excessive growth time. honour
        DISABLE_MEM_POOLS.

        * gparam.h: added G_PARAM_READWRITE alias for (G_PARAM_READABLE |
                                                       G_PARAM_WRITABLE).

This package contains the reference documentation
for GLib. For more information about Glib,
see:

 http://www.gtk.org

For information about contributing to the
GLib/GTK+ reference documentation project, see:

 http://www.gtk.org/rdp/

The GLib reference documentation is freely redistributable,
see the file COPYING for details.


REQUIREMENTS
============

To build the documentation, you must have the gtk-doc
package installed. To rebuild the template files,
you must have the current version of the GLib
header files installed.


BUILD
=====

First, run configure to generate the makefiles for this
module. There is one option specific to this package

  --with-html-dir=DIR   top of installed HTML documentation tree


The Makefiles for this module define three targets:

 templates:
  
  Scan the headers and merge the results with the current 
  template files

 sgml:

  Generate SGML files using the DocBook DTD from
  the template files

 html:

  Generate HTML from the SGML files.

To build the documentation, do:

 make sgml
 make html

You should only run the 'make templates' step if you
need to regenerate the templates for a more recent
version of the GLib sources.


INSTALLATION
============

 make install
