Tue Aug 19 03:55:29 2003  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib/gbsearcharray.h: license change, no restrictions are made
        in the new license at all, the implmentation is simply provided
        "as is" to allow copy-pasting the code into any third-party app.
        naturally, the implementation is self-contained within the header
        file to allow this.
        default to non-shrinking behaviour, allow users to request shrinking
        via G_BSEARCH_ARRAY_AUTO_SHRINK.
        creation, deletion functions are now named g_bsearch_array_create()
        and g_bsearch_array_free().
        fixed const in prototypes, removed cruft.
        (g_bsearch_array_insert): take only three arguments, do nothing if the
        node to insert is already there.
        (g_bsearch_array_replace): insert or replace if the node is already
        there.
        (g_bsearch_array_remove): remove nodes by index, the index of a node
        can be found via g_bsearch_array_get_index().
        removed other g_bsearch_array_remove*() variants.
        (g_bsearch_array_lookup): minor optimizations.
        (g_bsearch_array_lookup_sibling): return nodes on mismatches.

        * glib/gbsearcharray.c: removed.

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

This is GLib version 2.2.0. GLib is the low-level core
library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It
provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and
interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads,
dynamic loading, and an object system.

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

See the file 'INSTALL'

Notes about GLib-2.2.0
======================

* GLib changed the seeding algorithm for the pseudo-random number
  generator Mersenne Twister, as used by GRand and GRandom. This was
  necessary, because some seeds would yield very bad pseudo-random
  streams. Further information can be found at:

          http://www.math.keio.ac.jp/~matumoto/emt.html

  Also the pseudo-random integers generated by g_rand_int_range and 
  g_random_int_range will have a slightly better equal distribution
  with the new version of GLib.
 
  The original algorithms, as found in GLib-2.0.x, can be used instead
  of the new ones by setting the environment variable G_RANDOM_VERSION
  to the value of "2.0".

  Use the GLib-2.0 algorithms only if you have sequences of numbers
  generated with Glib-2.0 that you need to reproduce exactly.

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

Bugs should be reported to the GNOME bug tracking system. 
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org, product glib.) You will need
to create an account for yourself.

In the bug report please include:

* Information about your system. For instance:

   - What operating system and version
   - 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 testgtk program that is built 
  in the gtk/ subdirectory, 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 should also be submitted to bugzilla.gnome.org. If the
patch fixes an existing bug, add the patch as an attachment
to that bug report.

Otherwise, enter a new bug report that describes the patch,
and attach the patch to that bug report.

Bug reports containing patches should include the PATCH keyword
in their keyword fields. If the patch adds to or changes the GLib 
programming interface, the API keyword should also be included.

Patches should be in unified diff form. (The -u option to GNU
diff.)
