Tim Janik d5803865b4 version bump to 1.1.3, binary age 0, interface age 0.
Sun Aug 16 20:28:27 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * version bump to 1.1.3, binary age 0, interface age 0.

        * glib.h: be nice to platforms that don't have gint64 and don't
        issue #warning on every compilation. since glib doesn't require
        gint64 itself, packages that need gint64 should test for this
        themselves.

        * glib.h:
        * gutils.c: added a new function g_vsnprintf().

        * glib.h: added static inline functions for bit mask tests:
        g_bit_nth_lsf, g_bit_nth_msf and g_bit_storage.

Fri Aug 13 14:23:37 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h:
        * gmessages.c:
        revised the message handling system, which is now based on a new
        mechanism g_log*. most of the assertment macros got adapted to
        feature the new g_log() call with an additional specification of
        the log level in a preprocessor macro G_LOG_DOMAIN. if G_LOG_DOMAIN
        is undefined upon the includion of glib.h, it'll be defined with a
        value of (NULL) and thus preserves the original bahaviour for
        warning and error messages. the message handler setting functions
        for g_warning, g_error and g_message are only provided for backwards
        compatibility and might get removed somewhen.

        * Makefile.am: feature the G_LOG_DOMAIN macro to set the log domain
        to "GLib" upon compilation. we currently have to add this definition
        to the DEFS variable.
        * testglib.c: we need an ugly #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN at the start
        of this file currently, since automake doesn't support per target
        _CFLAGS yet.

        * glib.h: changed some gints to gbooleans, made a few const corrections,
        removed some superfluous G_STMT_START{}G_STMT_END wrappers, added some
        in other required places.

        * gnode.c:
        (g_node_prepend):
        (g_node_insert_before):
        (g_node_insert):
        (g_node_append_data):
        (g_node_prepend_data):
        (g_node_insert_data_before):
        (g_node_insert_data):
        (g_node_append):
        return (node), so these macros/functions can be usefully chained with
        g_node_new().

[GModule]
Fri Aug 14 02:24:39 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * Makefile.am: feature the G_LOG_DOMAIN macro to set the log domain
        to "GModule" upon compilation. we currently have to add this definition
        to the DEFS variable.
        * testgmodule.c: we need an ugly #undef G_LOG_DOMAIN at the start
        of this file currently, since automake doesn't support per target
        _CFLAGS yet.

Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.3:
* New library gmodule included which basically wraps dlopen() facilities.
* New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
associated with certain log domains.
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.
