	* Released GLib 1.1.2

Wed Aug 05 01:15:36 1998  George Lebl  <jirka@5z.com>

	* testglib.c: fix 64-bitness in g_prints, sizeof doesn't
	  seem to return int so I cast it for printing, probably
	  just cosmetic

Tue Aug  4 19:54:06 PDT 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gkt.org>

	* Released GLib 1.1.1

Tue Aug  4 15:17:54 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* configure.in: version bump to 1.1.1, binary age 1, interface age 0.
	* NEWS: updates.
	* README: updates.
	* INSTALL: updates and fixes.
	* COPYING: include the GNU LGPL, rather than shipping an empty file.
	* AUTHORS: listed original authors here, and added people who made
	significant improvements to glib.

	* glib.h:
	* gutils.c: implement g_get_current_dir() which returns a newly
	allocated string, instead of a g_getcwd() variant that operates
	on a static buffer.
	export glib_interface_age and glib_binary_age.
	as a convenience, macro definitions have been added for
 	g_node_insert_data, g_node_insert_data_before, g_node_append_data and
	g_node_prepend_data.

	* testglib.c: minor cleanups, print current dir.

Mon Aug  3 16:02:26 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* glib.h: 
	* gnode.c: change order of gpointer data; field in struct _GNode to
	be partly binary compatible with GList and GSList.

1998-08-03  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

	* garray.c (g_ptr_array_remove_index): bugfix: index check for
	array has been wrong.

	* Released GLib 1.1.0

Mon Jul 27 01:02:27 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* glib.h: #if 0'ed out the GTime definition, until it is definitively
 	needed. #if 0'ed out the g_getcwd() version, because it is the wrong
 	implementation.

Sat Jul 25 16:09:00 1998  Mark Crichton <crichton@expert.cc.purdue.edu>
	
	* glib.h: gtime changed to g_time.  gtime is used in 
	/usr/include/time.h in NetBSD, causing multiple headaches.
	If this isn't the right way of fixing it.... ;)

Thu Jul 23 00:29:14 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* gutils.c: removed all g_str* functions.
	* gstrfuncs.c: moved the bunch g_str* functions from gutils.c in this
	place. this file shall never include <unistd.h> to avoid clashes for
	some of the g_str* functions on some OSes.

Fri Jul 10 00:29:03 EEST 1998 Lauri Alanko <nether@gimp.org>

	* glib.h:

	* gdataset.c: removed g_dataset_try_key, g_dataset_force_id and
 	g_dataset_retrive_key in favour of GQuarks.
	a GQuark is an numeric id wich is associated with a certain string.
	(g_quark_try_string): try to get the quark associated with this string,
 	if the lookup failed return 0.

 	isn't currently a GQuark associated with this string, then allocate a
 	new quark and return that.
	(g_quark_from_static_string): like the above function, but the string
 	isn't strdup()ed to save memory.
	(g_quark_to_string): get the string that is associated with a certain
	GQuark.

	* gdataset.c (g_dataset_id_set_data_full): invoke the destroy function

Fri Jun 12 15:39:06 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* glib.h (GScanner): cleanups of the structure fields (binary
	incompatible).

Fri Jun 12 00:39:28 1998  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@icw.EECS.Berkeley.EDU>

	* glib.h: add new hash and equal functions g_int_*.  complement
	g_direct_hash with g_direct_equal.

	* grel.c: new file, GRelations implement tuples of N-N mappings.
	A comment in glib.h briefly describes the interface.

	* ghash.c: new function, g_hash_table_size

	* glib.h: new typedefs, gsize, gssize, gtime.

	* garray.c: new functions implementing a simplified GArray.  This

	remove elements, much like java.lang.Vector.

	* garray.c: new functions for the single-byte special case of
	GArray.  The functions g_byte_array* operate on arrays of bytes.
	Internally, a GArray is used.

        sizes, to take up less space on initial allocation.

1998-06-10  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>

	* acinclude.m4: New file.  Contains `libtool.m4' from libtool-1.2,
	the version from which glib's libtool forked.  Needed for people
	who use post-1.2 alphas of libtool.
	* configure.in (enable_mem_check, enable_mem_profile): Replace
	`echo -n' with AC_MSG_CHECKING.
	(fd_set): Explain test for `fd_set' better.

	* glib.h ghash.c gstring.c gdataset.c gutils.c:
	- Added new typedef g_const_pointer; expunged all incorrect
	  uses of 'const gpointer'.
	- Fixed up warnings that that created,
	- Changed GHashFunc and GCompareFunc to take g_const_pointer
	  arguments. (Necessary, but will cause warnings in existing
	  code until fixed)
	- Added other new const in harmless positions.

Mon Jun  8 01:06:47 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* glib.h: added enum-helper macros for code generation.
	added G_BREAKPOINT().

	a hash node's key should not also get replaced when overriding
 	previous entries.

Tue May 26 18:30:06 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* glib.h (g_string_sized_new): new function to controll the preallocated

 	table (GScanner does value-wrapping).

Thu May 14 04:14:12 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* glib.h: typedef gint gboolean;
	this is needed to provide portability with big-endian platforms (e.g.
	try sizeof(bool) for c++ on big-endians - it's 4).
	this is also needed to maintain some_union.d_gint==some_union.d_gboolean.
 	plus, gint to gboolean casts and vice versa need to be possible without
 	loss.

Tue May 12 19:22:58 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

Mon May 11 21:11:54 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

	* gutils.c gmessages.c: Moved g_error, g_warning, g_message and
	g_print from gutils.c to new file gmessages.c, to avoid having to
	include <unistd.h> in gutils.c which was causing problems for the
	g_strsignal implementation on FreeBSD boxes.

Mon May 11 09:53:43 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* configure.in: preserve automake CFLAGS.

	* Makefile.am: fully rename the created library to libglib-1.1.la.
	this means we need to change certain portions of the Makefile.am on
	major/minor version bumps.

	* ltmain.sh: the -release option is not required anymore.

        * glib.h: provide G_GNUC_FUNCTION and G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION to
	avoid conditionals. unconditionally define NULL, TRUE, FALSE, MAX,
	MIN, ABS and CLAMP, these macros might be screwed from other headers.

Mon May 11 01:44:10 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* gdataset.c: new file, gdatasets implement the object data
	mechanism from GtkObject. a generic data pointer is associated with

        * glib/gmem.c: Experimentally restore GMemChunk
        to its primeval state - where mem areas are
        freed incrementally instead of searching the tree
        every time a mem area is completely empty. Also,
        always keep one mem chunk around. (Reduced calls
        to malloc() a lot, but doesn't really improve
        performance significiantly)

Thu May  7 08:17:28 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* glib.h (G_GNUC_PRINTF):
	(G_GNUC_SCANF): macros to facilitate the printf/scanf format argument
	checking of gcc.

	* gstring.c: const corrections, string!=NULL checks at function entry.
	(g_string_down): new function for tolower(3) conversion.
	(g_string_up): new function for toupper(3) conversion.

	* gutils.c: const corrections.
	(g_strdown): g_string_down() counterpart.

	* gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token):
 	(g_scanner_error):
	(g_scanner_warn): new functions to let a scanner put out warnings
 	or errors, especially to react on unexpected tokens.

	* gslist.c:
 	(g_slist_index): find out about about the position of a
	certain data pointer.
 	(g_slist_position): find out about about the position of a
	certain node.

	* glist.c:
 	(g_list_index): find out about about the position of a
	certain data pointer.

Thu May  7 05:14:19 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* ltmain.sh: added a new commandline flag -postfix similar to -release,
	but will immediately change the library name.

	* Makefile.am: specify -postfix and -version-info

	* configure.in: version bump to 1.1.0. added GLIB_INTERFACE_AGE and
	GLIB_BINARY_AGE. calculate LT_* variables for libtool.

Fri May  1 16:36:08 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

	* gutils.c: (g_strcasecmp). Check for isupper before
	taking tolower, and account for macroized tolower.

	* gutils.c (g_error): Check for recursion.

1998-04-27  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@cuc.ml.org>

	* glist.c (g_list_position): New function to find the position of
	a link in a list - should be the inverse of g_list_nth(), but
	haven't tested it so poof.

Thu Apr 30 21:41:30 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

	* gstring.c : Check arguments more carefully, 
	(gtk-draco-980423-1.patch; ramsey@rhrk.uni-kl.de) 

Tue Apr  7 19:36:48 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

	* gutils.c (g_direct_compare): Removed, because that's what
	a NULL comparison function means. And it wasn't 64 bit safe.

Mon Apr  6 18:43:25 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* gscanner.c (g_scanner_get_token_ll): fixed a bug that caused floats
	of the format ".xxx" to be parsed as "xxx".

Fri Apr  3 20:36:35 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

	* gutils.c (g_parse_debug_string): Make debug string
	parsine case-insensitive

	didn't hook the data in! Reworked the routine to reflect the
	functionality of g_list

Wed Jan 21 01:13:25 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

	* Applied patch from (Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>)
	  to add function g_snprintf.
        * configure.in (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Check for vsnprintf.
        * glib.h: Add prototype for g_snprintf.
        * glibconfig.h.in: Add HAVE_VSNPRINTF.
        * gutils.c (g_snprintf): new function.

Sat Jan 17 23:52:40 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

	* gstring.{c,h} gscanner.c:
	   renamed g_string_equal => g_str_equal
	   renamed g_string_hash => g_str_hash
	  And const corrected. Old functions left in for now.
	
Fri Jan  9 20:03:46 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

	* gutils.c (g_strerror): changed message for EAGAIN from
	"no more processes" to "try again" since EAGAIN is used with
	functions else than fork().

	* gscanner.c (g_scanner_get_token_ll): use strtol() instead of
	strtoul() to avoid conflicts with solaris.

	* merged the glib portions from Jan 2 to Jan 7 out of gtk+/ChangeLog
 	into this file.

Wed Jan  7 02:14:30 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

	* glib.h:
	* glist.c:
	* gslist.c:
	* testglib.c: Added g_[s]list_insert_sorted function
	and appropriate tests in testglib

Sat Jan  3 20:23:25 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

	* glib.h: Changed guint32 -> guint for bitfields.
	(Bitfields must be int or unsigned int?)

Fri Jan  2 23:52 PST 1998 Jay Painter <jpaint@serv.net>

	* glib_pre1.h: 
	* glib_pre2.h: 
	* glib.h: reverted glibconfig.h and glib.h files back to the
	way they were before my ugly hack.

	* gscanner.c: removed inlines from clist and gscanner

Tue Dec 23 02:49:51 1997  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

	* gscanner.c: new file for GScanner: Flexible lexical scanner for
 	general purpose.
	* glib_pre2.h: added GScanner includes. added g_strconcat and g_strtod.
	gutils.c (g_strconcat): new function for string concatenation of NULL
 	terminated parameter list.
	(g_strtod): new function to perform best string to double conversion
	with or without consideration of the current locale.

Mon Dec 15 19:33:58 1997  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

	* glist.c: minor optimizations:
 	(g_list_append): `if' optimized for common code path, commented out
 	unneccessary `assert', saved one variable assignment.
	(g_list_prepend): saved two (conditioned) variable assignment.
	(g_list_insert): saved one  (conditioned) variable assignment,
	saved one variable assignment.
	(g_list_remove): `if' optimized for common code path, saved two
	variable assignments by using `g_list_free_1' (which is even
 	faster) instead of `g_list_free'.
	(g_list_reverse): saved allocation of one variable, saved one
	variable assignment.

Wed Dec 10 23:27:20 1997  Tim Janik  <timj@psynet.net>

	* glib_pre1.h: 
	* glib_pre2.h: 
	* glib.h: this file now gets concatenated by makeglib_h from
	glib_pre1.h and glib_pre2.h to merge in glibconfig.h wich got
	created by configure (done by Jay Painter).

	* glib_pre2.h: the g_assert*() and g_return_*_fail() macros
	are wrapped by G_STMT_START and G_STMT_END now, to avoid conflicts
	when used within if (...) g_macro(); else ... conditionals.
	
Tue Dec 17 13:14:07 1996  Peter Mattis  <pmattis@charnley.HIP.Berkeley.EDU>

	* glib.h: Changed 'g_return_if_fail' and 'g_return_val_if_fail' to
	not call 'g_string' but to simply stringify the
	expression. Calling 'g_string' causes the expression to be
	expanded which is undesired.

	* Started ChangeLog
