Owen Taylor 8951f96c50 Make some changes to the way that GMainContext works:
Sat Jun 30 15:49:10 2001  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

	* glib/gmain.[ch]: (Mostly patch from Sebastian Wilhemi)
	Make some changes to the way that GMainContext works:

	 - a GMainContext is no longer associated with a single
	   thread, but any thread can acquire ownership
	   of thread and iterate.

	 - There is a facility g_main_context_wait() for
	   non-owner-threads to wait either for ownership
	   or for a condition to be broadcast.

	 - For efficiency, GMainLoop just piggybacks of
	   of the loops mutex / condition instead of
	   having a separate mutex/condition for each
	   GMainLoop.

	* glib/gthread.[ch]: Remove hacks to store the thread's
	GMainContext in the GThread structures, since we
	no longer have the GMainContext <=> GThread correspondence.

        * glib/gmain.[ch]: Make g_main_context_wakeup() public
	so someone could completely duplicate GMainLoop
	with the public API.

	* tests/mainloop-test: Fix up to the new API. Decidedly
	doesn't work at the moment, but that may be the IO
	channel changes, or preexisting locking problems.

 *** 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.

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


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

This is GLib version 1.3.6. 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
==================

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.)
