14 2006-01-11 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
16 * tests/convert-test.c: Don't test items_read and
17 items_written in error cases where it is not set.
19 2006-01-04 Abel Cheung <maddog@linuxhall.org>
21 * configure.in: Added "ml" "zh_HK" to ALL_LINGUAS.

25 * === Released 2.8.5 ===
29 2006-01-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
31 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (g_spawn_sync_utf8): Set the GIOChannels for
32 stdout and stderr to unbuffered. Otherwise the giochannel layer
33 will try to read from them regardless whether the
34 g_io_channel_win32_poll() call here has indicated
35 readability or not. (#325310)
37 2005-12-29 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
39 * glib/gutils.c (glib_check_version): Fix a copy-and-paste error
40 in the docs. (#325273, Declan Naughton)
42 2005-12-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
44 * AUTHORS: Update my email
46 2005-12-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

49 failure cases. (#324332, Tim-Philipp Müller)
51 2005-12-17 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
53 * glib/gatomic.c: Fix memory barrier position in g_atomic_int_get
54 and g_atomic_pointer_get.
56 2005-12-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
58 * glib-gettextize.in: Look up prefix at run-time on Win32,
59 assuming the standard directory structure with glib-gettextize in
62 2005-12-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
64 * glib/gstdio.c (g_stat): In the Win32 implementation, strip
65 trailing slash(es) for non-root folders. stat() fails if non-root
66 folders are specified with trailing slashes. It's too much hassle
67 to demand that callers strip such slashes themselves, especially
68 as it is easy to get it wrong and strip the slash of a root
70 (g_rename): On NT-based Windows, use MoveFileEx() with
71 MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING to better match Unix behaviour.
73 2005-11-27 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
75 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename):
76 Don't read beyond len. (#322520, Christian Persch)
78 2005-11-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>

119 * tests/convert-test.c: Add some tests for conversions between
120 UTF-8, UCS-4 and UTF-16.
122 * glib/gutf8.c (g_utf8_to_ucs4, g_utf8_to_utf16): Fix handling
123 of len == -1, noticed by Morten Welinder.
125 2005-10-26 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
127 * glib/gutf8.c (g_ucs4_to_utf8): Don't set items_read twice
128 in the error case, and add some documentation. (#319806, Morten
131 2005-10-19 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
133 * configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_FUNCS for _NSGetEnviron, to get the
134 config.h symbol automatically. Fixes bug #313731.
136 2005-10-19 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
138 * glib/gwin32.c (g_win32_get_package_installation_directory):
139 Return a g_strdup()ed copy of the value stored in the hash table,
140 so that it can be g_free()d without leaving a dangling pointer in
141 the hash table. (#319232)
143 2005-10-06 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
145 * glib/gunicollate.c (g_utf8_collate_key_for_filename): Handle

233 (#316703, Mark Drago)
235 2005-09-16 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
237 * glib/gstrfuncs.c (g_ascii_strcasecmp, g_ascii_strncasecmp): Add
238 warning to doc comment that these functions should not be used on
239 encodings like CP932.
241 2005-09-14 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
243 * tests/keyfile-test.c: Add a test for grup names of length 1.
245 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_line_is_group): Accept group names
246 of length 1. (#316309)
248 2005-09-12 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
250 * glib/gmarkup.c (g_markup_escape_text): Clarify docs.
252 2005-09-11 Sebastian Wilhelmi <seppi@seppi.de>
254 * tests/refcount/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Link the the refcount
255 tests to the system thread library $(G_THREAD_LIBS). Fixes #313744
258 2005-09-07 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
260 * glib/Makefile.am: Create also a console version of the
261 gspawn-win32-helper program, gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
262 It's otherwise identical to gspawn-win32-helper.exe, except marked
263 as a console application (linked without the -mwindows option).
265 * glib/gspawn-win32.c (do_spawn_directly, do_spawn_with_pipes):
266 Drop the dont_wait parameter. Its truth value correlated 100% with
267 the NULLness of the exit_status parameter anyway, so it's enough
268 to check whether exit_status is NULL. Invert the sense of the
269 dont_return_handle parameter and rename it to do_return_handle, to
270 make the code easier to read by avoiding double negations.
272 (g_spawn_sync_utf8, g_spawn_async_with_pipes_utf8): Modify calls
273 to do_spawn_with_pipes() accordingly.
275 (do_spawn_with_pipes): If we have a console, use the console
276 version of the helper program, otherwise use the GUI one. This
277 avoids extra console windows opening up in some situations. (In
278 case a console application uses the GUI gspawn-win32-helper.exe to
279 spawn another console application we would get a separate console
280 for the spawned console application).
282 * glib-zip.in: Distribute also gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe.
284 2005-09-05 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
286 * glib/gmappedfile.c (g_mapped_file_new): Report an error
287 if the file is too large. (#315275, Kjartan Maraas)
289 * glib/gkeyfile.c (g_key_file_load_from_fd): The return value
290 of read() is signed. (#315273, Kjartan Maraas)
292 2005-08-31 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
294 * glib/gutils.h: Wrapping atexit() is a bad idea on Windows, where
295 the EXE and each DLL have their own atexit function chains.
297 #define g_atexit as atexit instead. This means it has a
298 better chance of doing what the caller wants. For instance,
299 gtkhtml calls g_atexit() registering a function in gtkhtml
300 itself. This caused a crash when g_atexit() was implemented as a
301 function in the GLib DLL. The gtkhtml DLL was already unloaded by
302 the time the GLib DLL got unloaded.
304 * glib/gutils.c: #undef the #define mentioned above, to also get a
305 real g_atexit() into the DLL for backward compatibility. Document
306 the Windows behaviour of g_atexit(), and document the varying ways
307 atexit() can behave in the context of dynamically loaded modules
310 2005-08-30 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
312 Make also the g_spawn*() functions take parameters in the GLib
313 file name encoding, i.e. UTF-8, on Windows. Has no impact on Unix
314 API or ABI. Like the other GLib API that was earlier changed to
315 use UTF-8 on Windows, the names of the functions that take UTF-8
316 have _utf8 suffixes added by using preprocessor macros in the
317 header file. The old names are kept for functions with the old
318 behaviour, taking parameters in the system codepage, for DLL ABI
321 * NEWS: Mention this.
323 * glib/gspawn.h: On Win32 add the suffix _utf8 to the names of the
324 g_spawn*() functions.
326 * glib/gspawn-win32.c: Use wide-char API on NT-based
327 Windows. Convert parameters from UTF-8 to wide chars (NT) or
328 system codepage (Win9x) and call the C library _wspawn*() or
329 spawn*() functions respectvely. Add DLL ABI stability versions
330 that take parameters in the system codepage.
332 * glib/gspawn-win32-helper.c: On NT-based Windows use the
333 wide-char versions of argv and envp, and use wide-char API to
334 change directory and spawn the program to run. Remove the verbose
335 debugging output, it was too complex to modify for the wide-char
336 features. (Just add temporary debugging printouts if needed, no
337 need to have them permanently in the source.)
339 * glib/gspawn.c: Corresponding documentation updates.
341 * glib/glib.symbols: Corresponding changes: Mark the ABI stability
342 symbols as PRIVATE, add the new _utf8-suffixed ones.
344 2005-08-24 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
346 * glib/gtypes.h (G_MININT64): Cast the constant to gint64; it is
347 guint64 otherwise and that can produce warnings about comparison
348 between signed and unsigned.
350 2005-08-23 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
352 * glib/gutils.c: Fix the crt_externs.h include.
354 2005-08-23 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
356 * NEWS: Fix spelling of my first name.

370 2005-08-18 Tor Lillqvist <tml@novell.com>
372 * configure.in: Check for <sys/wait.h>

376 2005-08-18 Ross Burton <ross@burtonini.com>
379 Optimise single-character insertions.
384 * tests/string-test.c:
385 Add tests for new optimisation, and fix a leak.
387 2005-08-17 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
389 * configure.in: Check for crt_externs.h and _NSGetEnviron.
391 * glib/gutils.c: On Darwin, include crt-externs.h and
392 define environ using _NSGetEnviron(). (#313731)
394 2005-08-16 Stepan Kasal <kasal@ucw.cz>
396 * glib/gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Move the body of the big if...
397 (g_get_any_init_do): ... to this new function.
398 (g_get_any_init): Declare as inline.
399 (g_get_any_init_locked): New inline function, does the locking.
400 Make use of these two throughout the code.
402 2005-08-15 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com>
404 * glib/gbacktrace.c (g_on_error_stack_trace): Wait for
405 the child process and then simply return. This makes
406 The "S" option work as documented in g_on_error_query().
407 (#313125, Matthew F. Barnes)
409 * glib/gunicode.h: Update the link to Unicode category
410 values. (#313369, Behnam Esfahbod)
412 * glib/gqueue.c (g_queue_find_custom): Clarify docs
413 a little. (#311727, Tristan van Berkom)
415 * glib/abicheck.sh, gobject/abicheck.sh: Make the
416 check work on ia64 too, where some symbols ended up
417 in yet another section.
