+
+1999-02-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* glib.h, glibconfig.h.win32, configure.in: Changed signature of
+	all g_static_mutex_* functions to take a pointer rather than the
+	struct itself. This is not an issue at the moment, because those
+	funcs are really macros, but is it un'G'ish and might fall on our
+	feet in the future.
+
+Mon Feb 15 07:45:54 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in (--enable-debug): default to yes for development trees.
+
+Mon Feb 15 06:18:58 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h: return guints instead of gints for g_hash_table_size
+	and g_hash_table_foreach_remove.
+
+Wed Feb 10 12:01:42 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in: don't reset G_MODULE_IMPL, so it can be overridden
+	from the command line.
+
+1999-02-10  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* glib.h: s/G_LOCK_DECLARE/G_LOCK_DEFINE/ throuhout glib. Added
+	G_LOCK_EXTERN macro to declare a lock externally.
+
+Wed Feb 10 06:20:30 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gmutex.c (g_static_private_set): invoke destroy notifier when
+	overwriting values, initialize new array fields with NULL.
+	(g_static_private_free_data): do not skip destroy notification for
+	data == NULL.
+
+	* gutils.c (g_direct_equal): compare pointer values directly instead
+	of just their guint values which is a loosing conversion for
+	sizeof(gpointer)==8 systems.
+	(g_get_any_init): restructured code so we don't use endless loops like
+	while (1), which boil down to an ugly alias for goto.
+	strip ,.* from the real name.
+
+February 9, 1999 sopwith@redhat.com
+
+	. glist.c, gnode.c, gslist.c: allocate pools of 128 items instead
+	of 1024 items.
+
+1999-02-08  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* configure.in, acconfig.h: Changed the test for getpwuid_r to
+	exclude those systems (i.e. IRIX), that set ENOSYS after the call.
+	Test, if pthread_getspecific is posix like or something different,
+	as on PCThreads.	
+
+Sun Feb  7 21:56:00 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* gmem.c (g_mem_profile): Copy all elements
+	of the allocations[] array, including the last.
+	(Pointed out by "Matthew W. Samsonoff" <mws7323@osfmail.isc.rit.edu>)
+	
+1999-02-05  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* configure.in: Make the error message in case of a broken thread
+	system a bit more informative.
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Changed the error logic again, now
+	only leaving the memory doubling loop, when success is reached or
+	when the user isn't found or when the buffer is 32k big,
+	additionally now getpwuid will be run, if getpwuid_r didn't work
+	out properly. A warning is issued however.
+
+Thu Feb 04 20:42:24 1999  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>

+
+	* gmessages.c (g_log_default_handler): (Win32:) Don't call
+ 	ensure_stdout_valid (which would open an unneeded console window)
+ 	if we're calling a logging function.  Define ensure_stdout_valid
+ 	as an empty macro on Unix.
+

+	 over user code.
+
+1999-01-30  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

+

+	systems, that provide /usr/include/pthread.h should also have the
+	posix thread library. This is to avoid writing down all the tests
+	twice. New test for thread system on HPUX 11. Info from Matt
+	Nottingham <matt@sar.dera.gov.uk>.
+
+Wed Jan 27 20:39:49 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* acinclude.m4: Xsed isn't valid here, don't use it
+
+	* ltmain.sh
+	* ltconfig: better file magic regexp for Linux libs
+
+	* gmodule/Makefile.am: arg, noinst_LTLIBRARIES doesn't make shared
+	libs, revert my previous change to this file
+
+	* docs/texinfo.tex: add it so automake doesn't whine
+
+Wed Jan 27 01:57:19 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in (G_MODULE_HAVE_DLERROR): applied patch from Andrej
+	Borsenkow <borsenkow.msk@sni.de> to also check for dlsym() in system
+	libraries and -ldl, to catch systems that provide dlopen() in libc
+	and dlsym() in libdl. this is at least the case for Reliant UNIX
+	5.44 (labeling itself as SINIX).
+
+Tue Jan 26 13:39:22 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* configure.in: don't use backquotes in warning text
+
+1999-01-26  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* gdate.c (g_date_set_time): Removed the #warning about MT
+	unsafety without localtime_r.
+
+	* configure.in: Moved it here.
+
+Mon Jan 25 10:07:53 1999  Raph Levien  <raph@gimp.org>
+
+	* configure.in: (#define G_THREADS_IMPL...) Changed the #define,
+	adding the G_THREADS_IMPL_ prefix to $g_threads_impl_def because
+	it looked wrong to me and was breaking gimp compile.
+
+Mon Jan 25 15:34:43 1999  Timur Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>
+
+	* configure.in, gstrfuncs.c: Inverted logic of NO_SYS_SYGLIST_DECL -
+	now it's normal (see 1999-01-19 Josh MacDonald). Also, remove from
+	#include <signal.h> wrapper NO_SYS_SYGLIST - *sys_syglist[] declara-
+	tion hides there.
+
+1999-01-25  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* configure.in: Do not use the thread libs, when searching for
+	some functions, as this might require glib to always be linked
+	with the thread libs on some platforms.
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Don't set errno to zero and use it
+	only as the error code, if the function returned a value less
+	0. It might happen, that the call succeeds, even though the errno
+	is set during the call (i.e. it first looks for a passwd file,
+	which is not found). Submitted by Michael Natterer
+	<mitschel@cs.tu-berlin.de>. BTW: Sorry for all the mess with that
+	`getpwuid_r' change, but it had to be done once.
+
+Sun Jan 24 10:33:30 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): reverted raja's changes, since they leaked
+	a struct passwd contents buffer and for the rest mostly substituted a
+	while loop with a bunch of gotos.
+	restored the getpwuid() code to what we had after my recent clean ups
+	("Sat Jan 23 02:14:28 1999 Tim Janik"), module yosh's recent changes.
+	to feature solaris behaviour of directly returning errno, we don't
+	modify error anymore if it's > 0 and simply reset errno.
+	don't reset g_home_dir for !NATIVE_WIN32 && !NATIVE_WIN32.
+
+1999-01-24  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
+
+	* gutils.c 
+	(g_get_any_init) [HAVE_GETPWUID_R && HAVE_GETPWUID_R_POSIX]: 
+	Hopefully got the error handling for `getpwuid_r' right.
+	(g_get_any_init) [HAVE_GETPWUID_R && !HAVE_GETPWUID_R_POSIX]:
+	Fix typo (change `pw == NULL' to `pw != NULL').
+	
+Sun Jan 24 00:36:22 EST 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* ghash.c:
+	- Revert previous "fix" (which really just did things a
+	  different way).
+	- (g_hash_table_remove): Don't need to support multiple values
+	  for a single key.
+
+	* tests/hash-test.c:
+	Add test where hash function always returns a single value.
+	Add beginnings of tests for g_hash_table_foreach[_remove] and
+	g_hash_table_remove.
+
+Sat Jan 23 20:40:06 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* gutils.c: removed the #warning about MT without getpwuid_r
+
+	* configure.in: and moved it here
+
+Sat Jan 23 22:45:59 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* ghash.c (g_hash_table_lookup_node, g_hash_table_lookup,
+		   g_hash_table_insert, g_hash_table_remove,
+		   g_hash_table_lookup_extended):
+	  - Fixed bug that overwrote nodes in hash buckets instead of
+	    adding them to the hash bucket node list.
+	    Hash tables now work as advertised.
+
+	(g_hash_table_resize):
+	  - Use g_new0 instead of manual init.
+	  - Space out code a bit for readability.
+
+	(g_hash_nodes_destroy):
+	  - Replaced "if (!hash_node) return;" with
+	    "if (hash_node) {do stuff}".
+	    Testing takes up less code space than explicit call to
+	    'return' before end of function.  (look at gcc -S)
+
+	Updated module header copyright to 1999.
+	New module macro G_HASH_BUCKET for (table,key)->bucket lookups.
+
+	* tests/hash-test.c:
+	- Add two new tests, one with strings as the keys and values, and
+	  one with ints as the keys and values.  Tests indirect (strings)
+	  and direct (ints) hashing.
+	- Cleanup unused junk left over from testglib.c.
+	- Converted a g_print call to g_assert_not_reached.
+	- Updated copyright to 1999.
+
+	* testglib.c, tests/string-test.c:
+	- Init 'tmp_string' var to NULL, silencing uninit-var warning.
+
+1999-01-23  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init) [HAVE_GETPWUID_R]:
+	Rewrite not to look at `errno' if library call succeeds, since
+	`errno' is not reset to 0.
+	
+Sat Jan 23 16:17:04 1999  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>
+
+	* glibconfig.h.win32: Update the magic values for
+	pthread_mutex_t size and initializer bytes to match the
+	latest version of pthreads for Win32.
+
+Sat Jan 23 02:14:28 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): cleaned up the errno mess for
+	GETPWUID. we especially don't want to g_error() out here!
+	the warning for G_THREADS_ENABLED and !HAVE_GETPWUID_R isn't
+	gcc related.
+	if !HAVE_PWD_H and !NATIVE_WIN32, g_free the home dir before
+	resetting it to NULL, why are we doing this anyways?
+	reordered code a bit so we always provide defaults (except
+	for g_home_dir).
+
+Thu Jan 21 12:40:11 EST 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* tests/{Makefile.am, string-test.c, strfunc-test.c}:
+	Separate string and strfunc tests, working towards goal of
+	having separate test for each of the GLib modules.
+	Add a couple GString length tests.
+
+Thu Jan 21 09:36:05 EST 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* configure.in:
+	Use AC_PREREQ not AC_REQUIRE for autoconf version test.
+
+1999-01-21  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Changed error handling again, as the
+	error is not always set in errno, it is the return value on some
+	systems. What an evil world.
+
+Thu Jan 21 05:35:20 1999  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>
+
+	* gstrfuncs.c: Include signal.h only when the signal names will be
+	needed.
+
+Wed Jan 20 22:09:59 EST 1999 Mandrake <mandrake@mandrake.net>
+
+	* configure.in / Makefile.am : made some adjustments for automake 1.4
+	and autoconf 2.13 (per suggestions made by  Raja R Harinath
+	<harinath@cs.umn.edu>)
+
+Wed Jan 20 20:33:14 EST 1999 Mandrake <mandrake@mandrake.net>
+
+	* autogen.sh: automake 1.4 and libtool 1.2d notices.
+	(maybe I'll write an actual test for automake 1.4 later)
+
+Wed Jan 20 15:05:25 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* HACKING: new file
+
+	* Makefile.am: since we require automake 1.4 now, ditch the build
+	top-level first and just use SUBDIRS
+
+	* gmodule/Makefile.am: use noinst_LTLIBRARIES instead of overriding
+	the install rule
+
+Wed Jan 20 16:16:01 EST 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init):
+	Revert previous patch, move error value set line down to proper
+	place.  Caught by Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>.
+
+Wed Jan 20 20:48:58 GMT 1999  Adam D. Moss  <adam@gimp.org>
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): All gtk apps were broken
+	here on my setup.  I changed the error to a warning to at
+	least get things limping.
+
+1999-01-20  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Use getpwuid_r with the right
+	signature, if available.
+
+	* configure.in, acconfig.h: Test for existance of getpwuid_r and
+	its signature.
+
+Tue Jan 19 20:52:43 1999  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>
+	
+	* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add new Win32 files.
+
+	* README.win32: Describe the conditional compilation macros.
+
+	* makefile.lcc: Removed.
+
+1999-01-19  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* configure.in: Moved test for localtime_r and rand_r to a place
+	after the determination of the G_THREAD_LIBS and use them for
+	finding those functions, necessary on systems with a different C
+	library libc_r for threaded progs, like FreeBSD 2.2.x. Info from
+	Timur Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>.
+
+Tue Jan 19 00:44:24 1999  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@axis.hip.berkeley.edu>
+
+	* gstrfuncs.c (g_strsignal): The "extern char* sys_siglist"
+	declaration breaks systems with different declarations, like
+	mine (FreeBSD).  So, I added a configuration variable to decide
+	whether the declaration is neccesary.  Change also appears on
+	line 275 of configure.in.
+
+Sun Jan 17 17:13:54 CST 1999 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
+
+	* Released GLib 1.1.13
+
+	* README:
+	  INSTALL:
+	  docs/glib-config: ver=1.1.13
+
+Mon Jan 18 00:02:46 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* NEWS: updates for 1.1.13.
+
+Sun Jan 17 17:15:59 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gtree.c (g_tree_traverse): removed assertion about rtree->root being
+	NULL, so this function can be applied to unpopulated trees as well, fix
+	provided by Simon Kagedal <sika8225@csd.uu.se>.
+
+Sun Jan 17 11:17:19 1999 Christopher Blizzard  <blizzard@appliedtheory.com>
+
+	* glib.spec: add packager address
+
+Sun Jan 17 11:10:05 1999 Christopher Blizzard  <blizzard@appliedtheory.com>
+
+	* glib.spec: increment version number to 1.1.13
+
+Sun Jan 17 16:14:03 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h (g_error): if !defined (G_LOG_DOMAIN) define G_LOG_DOMAIN as
+	((gchar*) 0) instead of ((void*) 0) to silence egcs C++ mode, reported
+	by Seth Alves <alves@hungry.com>.
+
+Sun Jan 17 14:13:52 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h: added a define G_HOOK_DEFERRED_DESTROY, to substitute a noop
+	GHookList.hook_destroy function.
+
+	* ghook.c (g_hook_destroy_link): don't really call hook_destroy if it
+	is G_HOOK_DEFERRED_DESTROY. for the case where we invoke hook->destroy()
+	we now clean up the hook completely afterwards, i.e. data, func and
+	destroy are immediately set to NULL and hook_free can't play with that
+	values anymore.
+
+	* gmain.c (g_source_add): set hook_destroy to G_HOOK_DEFERRED_DESTROY,
+	instead of using an ugly _noop() hack, this is to avoid an uneccessary
+	function invokation. set hook_free to g_source_destroy_func, this way
+	we always invoke the destroy notifiers for user_data and source_data
+	after execution of dispatch(). thus, g_source_destroy_func() will always
+	be called within the main_loop lock (this wasn't really assured
+	before), and can release and reaquire the look around destroy notifier
+	invokation.
+
+Sun Jan 17 11:01:40 1999  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>
+
+	* config.h.win32 glibconfig.h.win32: Increment version number here
+ 	also.
+
+Sun Jan 17 05:12:17 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in: incremented version number to 1.1.13, bin age 0,
+	interface age 0.
+
+	* glib.h: added hook_destroy member to struct _GHookList.
+
+	* ghook.c (g_hook_destroy_link): if the hook_list defines a hook_destroy
+	function, use that to marshal hook destruction notifiers.
+
+	* gmain.c: removed g_source_free_func and added g_source_destroy_func,
+	which marshalls the user_data and source_data destructors of sources
+	outside of the main_loop lock.
+	removed GIdleData struct since its sole member callback can be passed
+	as source_data directly.
+	added a gboolean return value to all g_source_remove* functions,
+	indicating whether the source could be removed, because these functions
+	don't issue warnings upon unseccessful removals themselves. this way at
+	least the caller gets a chance to warn upon failing removals.
+	(g_main_iterate): set in_check_or_prepare around calls to check() or
+	prepare().
+	(g_main_pending): simply return FALSE if called from within check() or
+	prepare().
+	(g_main_iteration): issue a warning if called from within check() or
+	prepare() and bail out with FALSE.
+	(g_main_run): likewise.
+	(g_source_remove_by_funcs_user_data): new function to remove sources by
+	user data and function table.
+	(g_idle_remove_by_data): new function to really remove idles only, since
+	g_source_remove_by_user_data would remove timeouts or other sources as
+	well.
+
+1999-01-16  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>
+
+	* Merge in current Win32 version:
+
+	* README.win32: More text.
+
+	* config.h.win32 glibconfig.h.win32: Update to match the
+	corresponding generated files on Unix.
+
+	* makefile.msc: Update with new source files, and gthread
+ 	library. Use the compiler flag -MD instead of using -D_DLL and
+	/nodefaultlib:libc msvcrt.lib in the link phase.
+
+	* glib.def: Update to include new functions, drop removed ones.
+
+	* glib.h: Add comments about main loop and polling on Win32. (In
+	general, it's only for the GIMP's use.) Add Win32 IO Channel
+	functions. Remove the obsoleted old IO Channel stuff (which was
+	in #if 0 already).
+
+	* giowin32.c: New file.
+
+	* gmain.c: Include config.h, conditionalize <sys/time.h>
+ 	inclusion.  Add g_poll implementation for Win32 (only for the
+ 	GIMP's needs for now, it's hard or even impossible to be as clean
+ 	and generic as on Unix). Implement g_get_current_time on Win32. If
+ 	threads aren't supported, don't try to wake up main thread's
+ 	loop. On Win32, use a semaphore and not a pipe to wake up the main
+ 	loop.
+
+	* gmessages.c: On Win32, allocate a console window if the standard
+	output handle is invalid before writing to stdout, and reopen stdout
+	to that console window.
+
+	* giochannel.c: Conditionalize unistd.h inclusion. Some indentation
+	cleanup.
+
+	* gstrfuncs.c: Include <signal.h>.
+
+	* gutils.c: On Win32, also check the HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
+	environment variables.
+
+Sun Jan 17 01:06:38 1999 Timur Bakeyev <mc@bat.ru>
+
+	* configure.in: Add support for FreeBSD 2.2.x macro _THREAD_SAFE.
+
+Wed Jan 13 11:27:24 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glib.h: don't use inline for !__GNUC__ case with g_warning,
+	g_error, and g_message wrappers since some compilers throw
+	away arguments in this case
+
+Tue Jan 12 21:59:14 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* acinclude.m4
+	* ltconfig
+	* ltmain.sh: upgrade to libtool 1.2d (with fixes for irix6 and osf)
+
+	* testglib.c: removed unused cruft
+
+Tue Jan 12 09:57:06 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* gdate.c: #warning isn't portable, check for gcc
+
+1999-01-12  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+        * gdate.c: Include config.h to get HAVE_LOCALTIME_R macro.
+
+        * configure.in: Moved function check back to the place, they've
+        been before.
+
+1999-01-11  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* gstrfuncs.c:
+	Do not use vasprintf.
+
+	* configure.in, glib.h, testglib.c, tests/.cvsignore,
+	  tests/Makefile.am, tests/alloca-test.c:
+	Do not use alloca.
+
+1999-01-11  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* configure.in: Test for localtime_r only after including the
+	right MT enabling CFLAGS (i.e. -D_REENTRANT on most systems).
+
+	* configure.in: Find right thread system on DG/UX. Thanks to Marc
+	J. Fraioli <fraioli@dg-rtp.dg.com> for hint. Finally removed the
+	stuff for -fstack-check, that didnt work anyway.
+
+	* gdate.c (g_date_set_time): Emit warning, if no localtime_r
+	function is available on thread enabled systems. Define ptm only,
+	if really needed, and assert on it.
+
+Sat Jan  9 15:08:44 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* testglib.c:
+	Make all aux functions static.
+
+	* tests/Makefile.am, tests/dirname-test.c, tests/type-test.c:
+	New tests dirname-test and type-test, from testglib.
+
+Sat Jan  9 13:53:00 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* configure.in:
+	Add checks for vasprintf, localtime_r.
+
+	* gdate.c (g_date_set_time):
+	Use localtime if localtime_r is not available.
+
+	* gstrfuncs.c (g_strdup_vprintf):
+	Use glibc vasprintf if possible; it's a bit faster than using
+	GLib routines, and makes output code a bit smaller.
+
+	* acconfig.h:
+	Remove HAVE_VSNPRINTF and HAVE_VPRINTF.  autoheader picks these
+	up automatically and puts them in config.h.in.
+
+Thu Jan  7 15:14:08 1999  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* gmain.c (g_source_free_func): Call the source-specific
+	free function when the hook is freed not when it
+	is destroyed; this fixes a bug where a timeout destroyed
+	from itself would access already freed data.
+
+1999-01-07  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* gutils.c (g_get_any_init): Here we must replace getpwuid by
+	getpwuid_r, but as I do not know how for now, I just made a FIXME
+	note ;-)
+
+	* gdate.c (g_date_set_time): localtime --> localtime_r to make it
+	thread safe.
+
+	* configure.in: We do not need to check for broken solaris mutex
+	intitializer any longer. Provide a macro to show the used thread
+	implementation. Not nice, but this is needed until thread support
+	is completed here inside glib.
+
+Tue Jan  5 12:23:52 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* configure.in: ditch whitespace before GLIB_SYSDEFS #includes,
+	the # needs to be in column 1
+
+	* gthread/testgthread.c: cleanups
+
+	* tests/node-test.c: #include unistd.h for exit()
+
+1999-01-04  Andrew T. Veliath  <andrewtv@usa.net>
+
+	* glib.h (g_array_insert_val): fix macro to be shorthand of
+	g_array_insert_vals.
+
+Mon Jan  4 15:35:29 PST 1999 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* acglib.m4: some echos interpret \n's and some don't. Deal with
+	accordingly.
+
+Mon Jan  4 20:58:50 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gscanner.c: eliminated extraneous "register" qualifiers in variable
+	declarations.
+
+	* gmain.c: #undef events and revents which may have been defined in
+ 	sys/poll.h for SVR3,4 compatibility on some AIX systems. fix been
+	provided by Philippe Defert <Philippe.Defert@cern.ch>.
+
+Mon Jan  4 14:38:11 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h: adjusted the g_strdup_a, g_strndup_a and g_strconcat3_a macros
+	so their arguments get only evaluated once. changed g_strconcat3_a to
+	have the same semantics as g_strconcat, i.e. if a certain argument is
+ 	NULL, the rest of the parameter list is skipped.
+
+	* tests/alloca-test.c: removed #if/#endif G_HAVE_ALLOCA, we need to be
+ 	able to compile on all systems. added test for g_strconcat() semantics.
+
+	* we need a alloca() replacement for !G_HAVE_ALLOCA rsn!

+
+Fri Jan  1 20:43:19 EST 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* glib.h: added g_strndup_a macro

+	Reformatted a couple strings.
+
+Sat Jan  2 02:20:59 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* ghook.c:
+	(g_hook_list_invoke):
+	(g_hook_list_invoke_check):
+	(g_hook_list_marshal_check):
+	(g_hook_list_marshal): avoid unneccessary extra hook referencing (the
+	explicit hook referencing became unneccessarry with my changes from
+	Mon Dec 21 21:48:29 1998).
+
+	* gmain.c (g_main_iterate): fixed reference counting leaks with
+ 	premature loop aborts.
+
+Fri Jan  1 22:47:44 1999  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): handle G_TOKEN_IDENTIFIER_NULL
+	as G_TOKEN_IDENTIFIER.
+
+Fri Jan  1 17:09:19 EST 1999  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* configure.in, glib.h:
+	Added two new alloca-based function macros, g_strdup_a and
+	g_strconcat_a.	These are stack-based and much faster than
+	their g_malloc-based counterparts.  Kudos to Ulrich Drepper
+	for help on this one.

+
+Fri Dec 25 19:56:33 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+

+Wed Dec 23 04:18:11 1998  George Lebl  <jirka@5z.com>
+
+	* gmain.c: (g_get_current_time) don't cast to timeval since
+	  timeval is for some reason not always a struct of longs, weird
+
+Tue Dec 22 10:32:11 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* ghook.c (g_hook_first_valid): fixed buglet that could cause bogus
+	warnings.
+
+Mon Dec 21 21:48:29 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gmain.c: there was a reference count race for hooks during invocation
+	loops. since all (known) hook loop implementations, do currently start
+	out with g_hook_first_valid() and iterate with g_hook_next_valid(),
+	g_hook_first_valid() will now return a referenced hook, and
+	g_hook_next_valid() will "eat" that, and eventually transfer it to
+	the next hook. <sigh> unfortunately this requires g_hook_next_valid()
+ 	to take the hook_list as additional argument.
+
+	* gmain.c (g_main_iterate): adjusted callers of g_hook_next_valid().
+
+Mon Dec 21 03:48:04 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gmain.c (g_main_iterate): default initialize source_timeout with -1
+	so we have a sane timeout value if (*prpare) doesn't set it.
+
+Sat Dec 19 16:56:02 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* glib.h gmain.c (G_PRIORITY_LOW): Add #defines defining
+	scale of priorities.
+
+Sat Dec 19 16:56:02 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* gmain.c (g_main_poll): Allocate space for pollfd's
+	_after_ adding poll wake-up-pipe record.
+
+	* gmain.c (g_main_add_poll): Changed name
+	of internal function g_main_add_poll_unlocked()
+	back from the non-sensical g_main_add_unlocking_poll().
+
+Sat Dec 19 06:25:55 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.m4: fixed a minor bug that would let configures bail out
+	if the MODULES argument contained newlines.
+
+	* acglib.m4: new file to be included by configure.in. it holds
+	special GLIB_ autoconfiguration macros, eventually some of the
+	easier ones should be moved into glib.m4, e.g. GLIB_IF_VAR_EQ,
+	GLIB_STR_CONTAINS or GLIB_ADD_TO_VAR.
+
+Sat Dec 19 04:27:17 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

+
+Sat Dec 19 03:10:50 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

+
+Fri Dec 18 12:51:39 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>

+	expiration times > 1sec.
+
+1998-12-18  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* configure.in (have_threads): Changed the last pthread_cond_init
+	to pthread_attr_init.
+
+Fri Dec 18 00:03:17 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gmain.c:
+	(g_main_is_running): new function to check whether a main loop has been
+	quitted.
+	(g_main_new): added a gboolean argument to determine whether the loop
+	should be considered initially running or not. however, g_main_run ()
+ 	will still reset the main loops running state to TRUE upon initial
+ 	entrance.
+
+	* gmain.c:
+ 	(g_main_iterate): documented this function's purpose in 5 steps.
+ 	for step 2), flag sources as G_SOURCE_READY even if !dispatch and
+	check G_SOURCE_READY prior to (*prepare), so we don't call (*prepare)
+ 	on them multiple times.
+
+Thu Dec 17 23:43:47 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gmain.c (g_main_add_poll): reordered arguments, so GPollFD* comes
+	first, <sigh> (sorry Snorfle, i should have let you know in the first
+ 	place).
+	(g_main_dispatch): stack G_HOOK_FLAG_IN_CALL flags. call source's
+	destructor when destroying a source.
+
+1998-12-17  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* garray.c (g_ptr_array_remove_index): Fixed size in g_memmove,
+	reported by Alexander Larsson <alla@lysator.liu.se>.
+
+	* gmem.c: Fixed bug, that made compile fail for -DENABLE_MEM_PROFILE.

+
+Thu Dec 17 04:10:49 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+

+
+Wed Dec 16 07:49:16 PST 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>

+
+1998-12-16  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+

+
+	* docs/glib-config.1: Updated to reflect the existence of gthread.
+
+	* gmain.c (g_main_poll_add_unlocking): Changed
+	g_main_poll_add_unlocked to g_main_poll_add_unlocking to match

+Wed Dec 16 03:16:58 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+        * configure.in: version bump to 1.1.8, binary age 0, interface age 0.
+
+	* glib.h: changed g_lock() to G_LOCK(), g_unlock() to G_UNLOCK() and
+	g_trylock() to G_TRYLOCK(), since these are macros that expand to
+	nothing with --disable-threads.
+	changed G_LOCK_DEFINE() to G_LOCK_DECLARE() and introduced
+ 	G_LOCK_DECLARE_STATIC() to achive the results of static G_LOCK_DECLARE().
+	changed semantics of g_thread_supported to g_thread_supported() so it
+	can be used as a function like g_module_supported(). the actuall
+	definition is still a macro that expands into a variable for
+ 	performance reasons though.
+	various indentation and coding style cleanups.
+

+
+Tue Dec 15 17:17:46 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+

+
+1998-12-15  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>
+
+	* gdate.c (g_date_prepare_to_parse): Solaris has a broken strftime
+	that produced garbage output for the test date I was using to

+	to like.
+
+1998-12-15  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

+	on that point. (Should not really matter,
+	but this way we match the comments)
+
+	* glist.c (g_list_free_1): Removed some lines

+	debugging)
+
+1998-12-11  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>

+	into GMutex and GPrivate resp. to make error reporting and use of
+	gmem possible in most (not all, though) gthread functions. Also
+	initialized the modules via new init functions.
+
+	* configure.in: Fixed syntax bug in definition of type
+	GStaticMutex.
+
+	* gthread/testgthread.c: Updated to work with nspr, but see note
+	there for remaining problems.
+
+1998-12-10  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* gmutex.c, glib.h: Now abort, if a mutex/cond/private is
+	allocated before the thread system is set up.
+
+	* gthread/gthread.c (g_thread_init): Removed g_thread_try_init(),
+	as it is not necessary. Changed the error message. Corrected logic
+	for g_thread_use_default_impl.
+
+	* gmutex.c (g_mutex_init): Keep the thread private data array
+	after calling g_thread_init().
+
+1998-12-09  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* gthread/testgthread.c (new_thread): Now also working for posix
+	threads; (wait_thread): Now a better implementation, that does not
+	use 100% CPU.
+
+	* Made the thread related code follow GNU coding standard.
+
+	* Made a comment (HOLDS:) above each function, that expects the
+	given locks to be held.
+
+	* Changed try_lock to trylock throughout.
+
+	* glib.c: Eventually removed the #if 0'ed code for old GStaticMutex.
+
+	* glib.c: Corrected g_trylock macro for G_DEBUG_LOCKS.
+
+	* gmain.c (g_main_poll_add_unlocked): first take a new poll record
+	form the poll_free_list.
+
+	* gmem.c, gstrfuncs.c, gutils.c: Made it MT safe.
+
+	* gthraed/*.c: Added copyright headers.
+
+	* gthread/gthread-solaris.c: do not use g_log for errors, as g_log
+	uses these module and endless recursions might happen, just use a
+	plain fprintf(stderr,...).
+
+	* gthread/gthread.c (g_thread_try_init): Call g_mutex_init().
+
+	* gthread/testgthread.c: updated test program.
+
+Tue Dec  8 18:49:56 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* Start at adding thread-safety. (mostly work
+	of Sebastian Wilhelmi <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>)
+
+	- configure.in now looks for a system thread implementation.
+	Currently support is included for POSIX threads
+	and Solaris threads. The default support is built
+	into a separate library -lgthread.
+
+	- The thread implementation can be modified by passing
+	a vector of functions g_thread_init().
+
+	- The default or supplied functions are used to
+	implement a small set of thread functions for
+	mutexes, condition variables, and thread-private
+	data.
+
+	- GLib now uses these functions to provide thread
+	safety. (In the sense that all global static
+	data is locked... individual structures must still
+	be locked by the caller.)
+
+Sat Dec 12 19:08:59 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in: always define G_HAVE_INLINE if __cplusplus is
+ 	defined, reported by Wan-Teh Chang <wtc@netscape.com>.
+
+Thu Dec 10 21:49:39 CST 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
+
+	* Released GLib 1.1.7
+
+	* INSTALL:
+	  NEWS:
+	  README:
+	  configure.in:
+	  glib.spec:
+	  docs/glib-config.1: Increased version to 1.1.7
+
+Wed Dec  9 22:44:44 EST 1998 Joel Becker <jlbec@ocala.cs.miami.edu>
+
+	* Removed #define of G_COMPILED_WITH_DEBUGGING from glibconfig.h
+	It shouldn't be there, and it was causing a double #define.
+        (config.h defines it also)
+
+Tue Dec  8 12:18:38 CST 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
+
+	* Released GLib 1.1.6
+
+	* NEWS: updated
+
+Mon Dec  7 23:10:41 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* gmain.c: fixes to #undef HAVE_POLL case
+
+1998-12-02  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>
+
+	* gdate.c (g_date_set_month): If Julian is valid, we have to
+	update the dmy representation before setting the components
+	of it.
+	(g_date_set_day): Same.
+	(g_date_set_year): Same.
+
+1998-12-02  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>
+
+	* testgdate.c, testgdateparser.c: Two new files. This is kind of
+	ugly code, but I want to go ahead and make the tests available.
+	It isn't contaminating any other code. :-) Since one of these
+	is interactive and the other takes a while to run, I've kept
+	them separate from testglib for now.
+	* Makefile.am: Build gdate test programs.
+
+1998-12-02  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>
+
+	* gdate.c (g_date_valid): Rely on GDate::dmy and GDate::Julian
+	flags, rather than re-checking the validity of the actual
+	values. This should be the correct behavior, the old way was
+	leftover cruft.
+
+	* glib.h, gdate.c: Changed MDY to DMY throughout.
+
+Sat Nov 28 12:53:47 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* Makefile.am configure.in acconfig.h giochannel.c
+	  glib.h glist.c gmain.c gutils.c:
+
+        - Revised GIOChannel to provide a generic virtual-function
+  	  based interface.
+	- Added unix fd-based GIOChannel's
+	- Added generic main-loop abstraction
+	- Added timeouts and idle functions using main-loop abstraction.
+
+1998-12-02  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gdate.c: changed `gpointer struct_tm_p' parameter of
+	g_date_to_struct_tm back to `struct tm *tm' and forward declared
+	`struct tm' in glib.h; yes, this is nice, we still need not
+	include time.h.
+
+Tue Dec  1 23:01:44 CST 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
+
+	* INSTALL:
+          NEWS:
+	  README:
+	  glib.spec:
+	  docs/glib-config.1: Incremented versions to 1.1.6.
+
+Wed Dec  2 02:10:59 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gdate.c: s/time_t/GTime/ and s/g_print/g_message/
+	include time.h.
+
+	* glib.h: removed #include <time.h>, changed time_t paramter of
+ 	g_date_set_time() to time_t, changed struct tm parameter of
+	g_date_to_struct_tm to `gpointer struct_tm_p'. yes, this is not
+	nice, but including time.h actually breaks a bunch of code.
+
+	* incremented GLib version to 1.1.6.
+
+1998-11-30  Havoc Pennington  <hp@pobox.com>
+
+	* gdate.c: New file, implements calendrical calculations.
+
+	* glib.h: Added declarations for GDate module.
+
+Mon Nov 30 07:12:10 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* ghook.c: added g_hook_list_marshal_check() to eventually destroy
+	hooks after they got marshalled.
+
+Sun Nov 29 17:31:43 EST 1998  Jeff Garzik  <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* configure.in, Makefile.am, gmodule/Makefile.am:
+	Put -DFOO stuff into Makefile.am INCLUDES.
+
+Sun Nov 29 14:17:09 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* configure.in: put debug -DFOO stuff into CPPFLAGS, not CFLAGS,
+	so CFLAGS can be overridden at make time properly
+
+Sat Nov 28 01:23:25 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* ghash.c: implemented incremental freezing facility.
+
+Thu Nov 26 01:36:20 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* ghash.c: reverted the g_hash_table_set_key_freefunc() addition,
+	since it's to specialized and needs to be resolved in a generic
+	fashion.
+
+Tue Nov 24 18:57:59 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* applied glib-tml-981120-0, change log appended below.
+
+	* glibconfig.h.win32: passthrough 64-bit constants unchanged, VC++
+	infers them
+
+Fri Nov 20 22:26:43 1998  Tor Lillqvist  <tml@iki.fi>
+
+        * glib.h: Moved MSC pragmas from glib.h to glibconfig.h.win32.
+        peer_offset field in WIN32 part of GIOChannel removed, need_wakeups
+        added. Added "extern" to __declspec(dllimport).
+
+        * gutils.c: Initialise need_wakeups.
+
+        * glibconfig.h.win32: Pragmas moved here. Define G_GINT64_CONSTANT.
+
+        * gmodule/gmodule.def: Added g_module_build_path.
+
+        * gscanner.c: (g_scanner_cur_value) Move initailisation of v
+        to before its use.
+
+        * glib.def: Added g_(s)list_sort.
+
+        * makefile.msc: A few more comments.
+
+Tue Nov 24 14:05:47 EST 1998	Michael K. Johnson <johnsonm@redhat.com>
+
+	* glib.h: added GFreeFunc and g_hash_table_set_key_freefunc()
+	prototype.
+	* ghash.c: added g_hash_table_set_key_freefunc() implementation.
+	Modified the prototypes of the functions g_hash_node_destroy() and
+	g_hash_nodes_destroy(), and changed the functions that call them
+	to match the new definitions.
+	This changes no external interfaces, and should create no binary
+	or source incompatibilities.  It does add a member to the
+	GHashTable structure.
+
+Tue Nov 24 09:40:00 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h: removed the GListAllocator type and its g_*_allocator_*()
+ 	function variants (which weren't working anyways) in favour of a
+ 	generic GAllocator type. new functions:
+	g_allocator_new, g_allocator_free, g_slist_push_allocator,
+	g_slist_pop_allocator, g_list_push_allocator, g_list_pop_allocator,
+	g_node_push_allocator and g_node_pop_allocator.
+
+	* gstring.c: removed bogus slist allocator code.
+	* gtree.c: maintain own list of free tree nodes and don't waste
+	GSLists for that, removed bogus slist allocator code.
+	* glist.c: use GAllocators for node allocation.
+	* gslist.c: use GAllocators for node allocation.
+	* gnode.c: use GAllocators for node allocation.
+
+	* gdataset.c: cleanups wrt automatic initialization.
+
+Mon Nov 23 10:03:58 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h garray.[ch]: added g_array_insert_vals() to
+	insert elements at an arbitrary index, and
+	g_array_insert_val() macro.
+
+Sun Nov 22 17:07:03 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gslist.c: new function g_slist_copy() to duplicate a list with all its
+	data pointers.
+	* glist.c: new function g_list_copy.
+
+Sat Nov 21 14:57:39 CST 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
+
+	* INSTALL:
+	  NEWS:
+	  README:
+	  configure.in:
+	  glib.spec: Updated to version 1.1.5
+
+	* Released GLib 1.1.5
+
+Wed Nov 18 1998 Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
+
+	* gdataset.c: There was a code path into g_data_set_internal
+	  through a function (g_datalist_id_set_full). Neither function
+	  checked for g_dataset_init having been run, but
+	  g_data_set_internal used the memchunk. I added
+	  a check into g_data_set_internal so it will do the
+	  initialization if needed. (There's probably a better way.)
+
+Mon Nov 16 07:48:06 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h (g_bit_nth_msf): fixed off-by-one error, so we don't waste
+	a loop iteration if (-1) was passed, reported by Andreas Bombe
+ 	<andreas.bombe@munich.netsurf.de>.
+
+Fri Nov 13 15:17:34 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* glist.c gslist.c glib.h: Added g_list_sort() and
+	g_slist_sort() to merge sort GLists and GSLists.
+	Submitted by Sven Over <sven.over@ob.kamp.net>
+	over a year ago!
+
+	* testglib.c: Test the new sort functions.
+
+Wed Nov 11 23:23:22 EST 1998 Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
+
+	* Makefile.am : INCLUDES is the right way to add to CFLAGS, not
+	DEFS.  Also there are bugs with '+=' in makefiles.
+	Got rid of DEFS line by moving G_LOG_DOMAIN setting into INCLUDES.
+	Removed redundant -I from INCLUDES.
+
+Wed Nov 11 18:11:24 EST 1998 Gregory McLean <gregm@comstar.net>
+
+	* docs/*.sgml : Batch of new documentation that should be easier
+	to maintain and extend. Plus generate whatever sort of doc file
+	you would like. I didn't change the Makefile stuff as I'm not sure
+	what default doc type people want. Oh and this is all DocBook format.
+	Enjoy!
+
+Tue Nov 10 17:12:45 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* configure.in: use __extension__ for long long on gcc >= 2.8 and
+	egcs, and provide a G_GINT64_CONSTANT wrapper so -ansi -pedantic
+	compiles clean.
+
+	* glib.h: make the endian x86 asm __const__ so the compiler can do
+	better optimizations. Also remove the cc clobber, these shouldn't
+	be changing condition codes. Ditch some redundant casts. Add an
+	optimization for 64-bit endian conversions in x86. Use constant
+	wrapper for the generic method.
+
+	* testglib.c: use constant wrappers for 64-bit constants
+
+1998-11-04  Phil Schwan  <pschwan@cmu.edu>
+
+	* configure.in: Added 'strncasecmp' to the list of functions to be
+	searched for.
+	* glib.h: Added a prototype for 'g_strncasecmp'
+	* gstrfuncs.c: (g_strncasecmp) new function modeled closely after
+	'g_strcasecmp'
+
+Wed Nov  4 15:06:44 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* config.h.win32 (new file)
+	* glibconfig.h.win32
+	* glib.def
+	* makefile.msc: applied glib-tml-981104, win32 sync
+
+1998-11-03  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* garray.c:
+	(g_array_remove_index): new function for removing an entry from an
+	array while preserving the order
+	(g_array_remove_index_fast): new function for removing an entry
+	from an array. the order might be distorted
+	(g_ptr_array_remove_index_fast, g_ptr_array_remove_fast): new
+	functions; working similiar to the above. (they have the semantic
+	of the old g_ptr_array_remove[_index] functions)
+	(g_ptr_array_remove_index, g_ptr_array_remove): new semantic. now
+	the order of the elements in the array is not changed
+	(g_byte_array_remove_index, g_byte_array_remove_index_fast): new
+	functions; byte_array wrapper for g_array_remove_index[_fast]
+
+Sun Nov  1 23:00:18 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glib.h
+	* configure.in: endian macros defined using the glibconfig.h
+	mechanism now
+
+	* ghook.c: casts for GHookFunc and GHookCheckFunc to avoid warnings
+
+Sat Oct 31 20:14:22 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* applied glib-tml-981101-1 patch from Tor Lillqvist (ChangeLog
+	entry appended below)
+
+	* testglib.c
+	* gstrfuncs.c
+	* glib.h: use G_HAVE_GINT64, since HAVE_GINT64 is gone
+
+	* gmessages.c
+	* gscanner.c: #include <config.h> in here too, for HAVE_UNISTD_H
+
+1998-11-01 Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
+
+	* glib.def: Added the new functions.
+
+	* gutils.c:
+	(g_getenv): Better implementation on Win32. No loop necessary.
+	(g_get_any_init): Use P_tmpdir if defined as tmp directory. Don't
+	set home dir always to NULL on Win32.  Don't use tmp directory as
+	last resort home directory, but return NULL if no home
+	directory is known (application must check).
+
+	* makefile.msc: Better touch command, just COPYing a single file
+	sets the timestamp from that file, which isn't what touching should
+	do.
+
+1998-10-31  Raja R Harinath  <harinath@cs.umn.edu>
+
+	Land glib-rrh-19981025-0.patch.
+	* Makefile.am (glibconfig.h): New rule.
+	(stamp-gc-h): New rule.  Generate `glibconfig.h'.
+	* configure.in (AM_CONFIG_HEADER): It is now `config.h'.
+	(HAVE_BROKEN_WCTYPE): On Solaris, look for iswalnum in -lw before
+	concluding "broken wctype".
+	(glibconfig.h): Use AC_OUTPUT_COMMANDS to put generation code into
+	config.status.
+	* glib.h: Remove a lot of tests and defines.  All these have been
+	moved to `configure.in (glibconfig.h)'.
+	* gerror.c: Include <config.h>.
+	* gmem.c: Likewise.
+	* gstrfuncs.c: Likewise.
+	* gutils.c: Likewise.
+
+Sat Oct 31 05:08:26 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h: removed old G_ENUM(), G_FLAGS(), G_NV() and G_SV() macros.
+	added macros G_STRUCT_OFFSET(), G_STRUCT_MEMBER_P() and
+ 	G_STRUCT_MEMBER() for handling structure fields through their offsets.
+	(struct _GHookList): added a hook_free function member, that can be used
+	to free additional fields in derived hook structures.
+	g_hook_free(): if hook_list->hook_free != NULL, call this function prior
+	to freeing the hook. (this functionality should have been there in the
+	first place, it just got forgotten as an implementation detail).
+
+Wed Oct 28 00:49:32 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glib.h: G_BREAKPOINT for alpha from Robert Wilhelm
+	<robert@physiol.med.tu-muenchen.de>
+
+Tue Oct 27 07:25:53 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gscanner.c:
+	(g_scanner_sync_file_offset): new function for file input.
+	rewind the filedescriptor to the current buffer position and blow
+ 	the file read ahead buffer. usefull for third party uses of our
+ 	filedescriptor, which hooks onto the current scanning position.
+	(this became neccessary with the implementation of buffered
+	reads).
+	(g_scanner_input_file):
+	(g_scanner_input_text): automatically blow the read ahead buffer.
+	(g_scanner_get_char): blow the read ahead buffer when the end of
+	input is reached, i.e. a '\000' char is read.
+
+Tue Oct 27 00:27:31 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glib.h: get rid of duplicate #g_htonl and friends in the
+	NATIVE_WIN32 part
+
+Mon Oct 26 22:42:01 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glibconfig.h.win32
+	* gutils.c
+	* makefile.msc: win32 patch from Tor Lillqvist (glib-tml-981027-0),
+	fixes some minor win32 buglets
+
+Mon Oct 26 22:12:03 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glib.h: reimplemented the endian stuff, using inline asm
+	for x86. #define g_htonl and friends.
+
+	* testglib.c: new tests for the endian stuff
+
+	* configure.in: care for AIX in gmodule linker flags test (from
+	Joel Becker <jlbec@raleigh.ibm.com>). Check $host_os for linux
+	instead of existance of /usr/include/linux
+
+	* gutils.c: buh-bye evil warning. Thou hast been #ifdef'd out
+	of thine existance!
+
+Tue Oct 27 03:00:50 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h: removed dummy structure definitions for struct _GCache,
+ 	_GTree, _GTimer, _GMemChunk, _GListAllocator and _GStringChunk.
+
+	* gutils.c: implement glib's inline functions _after_ all include
+ 	statements have been processed.
+	removed Tor's MAXPATHLEN check since there already was one supplied
+	further down in this file.
+	(LibMain): special cased the #ifdef __LCC__ case for NATIVE_WIN32,
+ 	since lcc maybe used on other platforms as well. why in hell is this
+	stuff required?
+	(g_get_any_init): for windows, if the user name is supplied, use it as
+	realname also.
+	in general, if there is no homedir specified, use the tmpdir that
+	we already figured.
+
+	* gtimer.c (g_timer_elapsed): changed a g_assert() statement to
+ 	g_return_if_fail().
+
+	* applied glib-tml-981020-0.patch for WIN32 portability, added some
+	comments and g_return_if_fail() statements, minor indentation fixes.
+	ChangeLog entry from Tor Lillqvist is appended.
+
+	* glib.h (struct dirent): use lower case structure members.
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* makefile.lcc:
+	* makefile.msc:
+	s/COMPILING_GLIB/GLIB_COMPILATION/
+
+1998-10-20: Tor Lillqvist <tml@iki.fi>
+
+	* README.win32 glib.def gmodule.def
+	* glibconfig.h.win32 gmodule/gmoduleconf.h.win32:
+	New files for the Windows port. The .def files list exported
+	symbols for the Microsoft linker and compatibles.
+
+	* configure.in:
+	Added checks for some platform-dependent headers: pwd.h sys/param.h
+	sys/select.h sys/time.h sys/times.h unistd.h, and the function lstat.
+
+	* gerror.c:
+	Conditionalized inclusion of system-dependent headers. Changes
+	for Windows: no gdb to do a stack trace. Just call abort().
+
+	* glib.h:
+	Changes for Windows:
+
+	Added macros G_DIR_SEPARATOR, G_DIR_SEPARATOR_S for
+	platform-dependent file name syntax elements. Added macros
+	G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR, G_SEARCHPATH_SEPARATOR_S for
+	platform-dependent search path syntax conventions.
+
+	Added pragmas for Microsoft C to make it more pedantic.
+
+	Marked GLib's global variables for export from DLL.
+
+	Added the function g_strescape that escapes backslashes.
+
+	Added functions g_path_is_absolute and g_path_skip_root to
+	handle platform-dependent file name syntax.
+
+	Added the function g_getenv that expands environment variables
+	that contain references to other environment variables, as is
+	typical on Windows NT.
+
+	Added the GIOChannel structure which is used to encapsulate the
+	IPC mechanism used by the GIMP's plug-ins, and possibly other
+	things later. On Unix a GIOChannel encapsulates just a file
+	descriptor. On Windows it contains a file handle from _pipe() and a
+	few other things related to the implementation of gdk_input_add
+	and GIMP plug-in communication. Subject to change.
+
+	Removed duplicate declarations of the version variables.
+
+	For the Microsoft compiler, declare own implementation of
+	ftruncate and the <dirent.h> functions.
+
+	* gmem.c:
+	Define a symbolic name  for the profiling table size.
+
+	* gmessages.c:
+	Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h. On Windows, output using
+	stdio to stdout.
+
+	* gscanner.c:
+	Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h. Added changes for
+	Microsoft C. Added CR to the skipped character set. Added small
+	workaround for MSC compiler bug in g_scanner_cur_value.
+
+	* gstrfuncs.c:
+	Added the function g_strescape, which escapes the backslash
+	character. Needed especially when printing Windows filenames.
+
+	* gtimer.c:
+	Conditionalized inclusion of unistd.h and sys/time.h. Added
+	implementations for Windows.
+
+	* gutils.c:
+	Conditionalized inclusion of platform-dependent headers. Use
+	the platform-independent file name syntax macros.
+	Conditionalize code on platform-dependent features. Added the
+	functions g_path_is_absolute g_path_skip_root and g_getenv.
+	Added the GIOChannel-related functions. Added
+	compiler-dependent Unix compatibility functions for Windows.
+
+	* makefile.lcc makefile.msc:
+	New files. Compiler-specific makefiles for LCC-Win32 and
+	Microsoft C. Only Microsoft C is actually supported currently.
+
+	* testglib.c:
+	Added pathname check cases for Windows. Added workaround for
+	bug in the Microsoft runtime library. Improved some tests a bit.
+
+Sun Oct 25 01:24:01 CST 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
+
+	* Released GLib 1.1.4
+
+	* docs/Makefile.am:
+	* docs/.cvsignore
+	* docs/glib-config.1:
+	* docs/glib.texi: Moved docs from gtk and created glib-config.1
+	from gtk-config.1 in gtk
+
+	* configure.in:
+	* Makefile.am:
+	* sanity_check: added in docs directory, change rule 'release'
+	to 'snapshot' and created a new 'release' rule for doing the
+	distribution.  Added in a 'sanity' rule.
+
+	* NEWS:
+	* README:
+	* INSTALL: Updated for the release
+
+Sun Oct 25 07:30:10 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gscanner.c:
+	(g_scanner_peek_next_char):
+ 	(g_scanner_get_char): no more characters are available if read() returns
+ 	anything less than 1, not only on 0 return.
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gstrfuncs.c: final API cleanup of string arrays to suit sopwith's
+	argument order requirements.
+ 	(g_strsplit): renamed from g_str_array_split().
+	(g_strjoinv): renamed from g_str_array_joinv(), string array is
+	now passed as last parameter. removed `const' qualifier from string
+	array pointer (again).
+	(g_strjoin): new function from sopwith to concatenate strings with
+	an additional seperator.
+	(g_strfreev): renamed from g_str_array_free.
+
+Sat Oct 24 22:23:04 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* gnode.c: small fix to g_node_children_foreach to make it work right.
+	From Paco Moya <paco@cadnotebk17.eecs.berkeley.edu>
+
+Wed Oct 21 19:22:58 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in (G_MODULE_HAVE_DLERROR): reverted part of the changes
+ 	from Sebastian Wilhelmi (1998-10-20). don't specify a specific loading
+	behaviour (i.e. RTLD_NOW) when we are not sure whether it is supplied.
+	changed the return value from (!f2 && f1) to (!f2 || f1) so we default
+	to not needing an underscore. reverted the extra plugin.c building,
+	because .lo files are not ELF libraries, this can't work. This needs
+	further investigation on Solaris...
+
+Wed Oct 21 17:03:05 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gstrfuncs.c: API cleanups of the new g_str* functions for consistency
+ 	with the existing naming scheme for g_str* functions. grouped the g_str*
+	functions that will return a newly allocated string seperatedly. all of
+	the in_place arguments were skipped, the caller is supposed to pass a
+	g_strdup()ed string if he wants to retrive a new copy. indentation and
+	coding style fixups. added some g_return_if_fail() statements.
+	string array functions are prefixed with g_str_array_.
+	(g_strdelimit): return the modified string like all other g_str*
+ 	functions, that operate in place.
+	(g_strchug): renamed from g_str_chug(), removed in_place argument.
+	(g_strchomp): renamed from g_str_chomp(), removed in_place argument.
+	(g_strstrip): renamed from g_str_strip(), removed in_place argument.
+	(g_str_array_join): renamed from g_strconcatv(), since it actually
+ 	operates on a string array and has totaly different semantics from
+	g_strconcat(). check for separator != NULL, don't segfault if the first
+ 	string is NULL. removed the `const' from the string array that's passed,
+	so users can operate on gchar** string arrays.
+	(g_str_array_split): renamed from g_str_split() because we actually
+ 	produce a string array. reimplemented this function for efficiency.
+	removed macro aliases g_str_joinv and g_str_join.
+
+1998-10-20  Elliot Lee  <sopwith@redhat.com>
+
+	* glib.h, gstrfuncs.c: Move string join/split/free routines from
+ 	libgnome/gnome-string, rename, and add g_str_chug.
+
+1998-10-20  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* configure.in: made the check for needed _ in module's func-names
+	work on solaris. (G_MODULE_NEED_USCORE must be set outside
+	AC_CACHE_VAL, dlopen(0,0) refused to work on solaris).
+
+Tue Oct 20 03:32:58 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* configure.in
+	* acconfig.h: added test for endianness
+
+	* glib.h: #define endian macros for system and some conversions
+	between byte order
+
+Thu Oct  8 06:47:27 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gdataset.c: removed functions g_dataset_id_set_destroy and
+	g_datalist_id_set_destroy and macros g_dataset_set_destroy and
+	g_datalist_set_destroy.
+	added new functions g_dataset_id_remove_no_notify and
+	g_datalist_id_remove_no_notify plus associated macros
+	g_dataset_remove_no_notify and g_datalist_remove_no_notify, which
+ 	will remove a certain data portion without invokation of its destroy
+ 	notifier, this should only be used in very controled circumstances.
+
+Wed Oct  7 05:31:24 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	removed the #pragma } statement after extern "C" {. use
+ 	(c-set-offset 'inextern-lang 0) to fixup emacs cc-mode indentation.
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* ghook.c: API and code cleanups. changed the G_HOOK_ACTIVE and
+ 	G_HOOK_IN_CALL enum vals to G_HOOK_FLAG_ACTIVE and G_HOOK_FLAG_IN_CALL.
+	changed the G_HOOK_IS_ACTIVE() and G_HOOK_IS_IN_CALL() macros to
+	G_HOOK_ACTIVE() and G_HOOK_IN_CALL().
+	fixed the g_hook_find* functions, so they iterate over non-active
+	hooks as well.
+	(g_hook_first_valid):
+	(g_hook_next_valid): added an extra argument gboolean may_be_in_call,
+	which indicates whether G_HOOK_IN_CALL() hooks are considered valid
+	or not. these two functions are meant as iterators for the hook list
+	invocation, so they need to a) provide functionality to implement
+	may_recurse bahaviour and b) only walk active hooks.
+
+Tue Oct  6 14:29:47 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gmem.c (g_malloc0): fixed memory offsett when ENABLE_MEM_CHECK is
+	defined and ENABLE_MEM_PROFILE is not (patch from Martin Pool
+ 	<mbp@wistful.humbug.org.au>).
+
+Sat Oct  3 01:18:10 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* ghook.c:
+	(g_hook_list_invoke):
+	(g_hook_list_invoke):
+	(g_hook_list_marshal): properly handle the first valid hook to call,
+	it maybe IN_CALL already.
+	(g_hook_list_marshal): minor name change.
+
+Fri Oct  2 23:21:21 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* ghook.c: renamed GHook.id to GHook.hook_id so we don't get troubles
+	with ObjC which reserves "id" as a keyword (Raja R Harinath
+ 	<harinath@cs.umn.edu>).
+
+Wed Sep 30 10:53:03 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* Makefile.am: added ghook.c.
+
+	* glib.h:
+ 	* ghook.c: generic callback maintenance functions.
+
+	* glib.h: define G_GNUC_UNUSED.
+
+Fri Sep 25 00:04:37 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in: version bump to 1.1.4, binary age 0, interface age 0.
+
+	* glib.h (struct _GScanner): dumped peeked_char and text_len in favour
+ 	of *text_end and *buffer for buffered read()s.
+
+	* gscanner.c: changed peeking and retrival of next character so we
+	have buffered reads. fixed minor bug with number parsing error
+	reporting. made some static!!! variables local ones (why did we use
+ 	static temporary variables in the lowlevel tokenization code anyways?).
+
+Mon Sep 21 23:23:10 CDT 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
+
+	* Released GLib 1.1.3
+
+Mon Sep 21 07:43:13 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h: added g_renew() which works as g_new() for g_realloc().
+
+Mon Sep 21 02:22:12 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* NEWS file update for upcoming release of GLib + GModule
+	version 1.1.3, binary age 0, interface age 0. (GModule uses
+	the same version numbers as GLib.)
+
+	* glib.h: swap the inclusion of of float.h and limits.h to work
+	around a egcs 1.1 oddity on Solaris 2.5.1 (fix provided by
+	Per Abrahamsen  <abraham@dina.kvl.dk>).
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gscanner.c: renamed the GValue union to GTokenValue, this should
+	not affect source compatibility in most cases.
+
+	* ghash.c: added some g_return_if_fail() statements. make
+ 	g_hash_table_lookup_node() an inline function so we save an extra
+	function invokation on lookups.
+
+Sun Sep 20 18:21:46 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* ltmain.sh: Patch to libtool-1.2b to make --disable-static
+	work.
+
+Sun Sep 20 02:09:44 1998  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@axis.hip.berkeley.edu>
+
+	* glib.h: New function g_hash_table_foreach_remove is similar to
+ 	g_hash_table_foreach, but the callback's return value indicates
+ 	whether to remove the element (if TRUE) or not (if FALSE).
+	Returns the number of elements deleted.
+
+Fri Sep 18 11:31:50 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glib.h
+	* gstrfuncs.c: added g_memdup implementation
+
+Fri Sep 18 18:46:14 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gdataset.c: make the datalists a safe type (not using a generic
+	gpointer) by expecting a GData* argument in the g_datalist functions.
+	provide g_dataset_foreach() and g_datalist_foreach() functions that
+ 	allow a GDataForeachFunc function to walk the data lists.
+	(g_dataset_destroy_internal): made this function truely reentrant (i.e.
+	can be called from within destroy notifiers as well).
+	the *_foreach functions are _not_ reentrant (unless all the other
+	dataset and datalist functions).
+
+Fri Sep 18 03:41:20 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gtree.c (g_tree_new): check for key_compare_func != NULL (reported
+	by Michal Kara).
+
+Thu Sep 17 18:55:46 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* config.h.in: removed from repository
+
+	* install-sh
+	* missing
+	* mkinstalldirs: updated to latest automake version
+
+Thu Sep 17 06:36:25 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gdataset.c: implemented g_datalist_* along the lines of g_dataset,
+	but operates on an opaque gpointer *datalist; pointer, e.g. for the
+	implementation of GtkObject named data.
+	we cache a certain portion of the already freed data entries now, to
+ 	gain a slight performance improve with data reallocation.
+
+Tue Sep 15 14:57:30 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* Makefile.am glib-config.in l*: Update to libtool-1.2b,
+	change library versioning scheme to drop LT_RELEASE
+	from the -l line, while keeping it in the soname.
+
+Fri Sep 11 02:11:46 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h: explicitely include the prototypes for inline functions
+	to cure gcc warnings for -Wmissing-prototypes.
+
+Wed Sep  9 02:52:04 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* configure.in: added -posix check for NeXTStep
+
+Tue Sep  8 05:04:06 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h: abandon the use of ATEXIT(), we keep the fallback
+	macros for backwards compatibility. people ought to use g_atexit().
+
+	* gutils.c (g_atexit): new function to take over the implementation
+	of ATEXIT. this function is guarranteed to succeed, similar to
+	g_malloc().
+
+Mon Sep  7 20:07:38 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* configure.in: comment the -std1 check and save LIBS properly
+
+Mon Sep  7 07:53:21 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in: check for all three inline keywords individually.
+
+	* glib.h: inlining hassle. for compilers that don't allow the `inline'
+ 	keyword, mostly because of strict ANSI C compliance or dumbness, we try
+ 	to fall back to either `__inline__' or `__inline'.
+	we define G_CAN_INLINE, if the compiler seems to be actually *capable*
+ 	to do function inlining, in which case inline function bodys do make
+ 	sense. we also define G_INLINE_FUNC to properly export the function
+ 	prototypes if no inlinig can be performed. we special case most of the
+ 	stuff, so inline functions can have a normal implementation by defining
+ 	G_INLINE_FUNC to extern and G_CAN_INLINE to 1.
+
+	* ltconfig: (compiler PIC flag test): special case linux for non
+	aout systems to honour lcc's position independant code (cases
+	"linux*aout)" and "linux*)" got added). (this needs to go into
+	libtool which does an advanced test, checking for __LCC__).
+
+	* autogen.sh: take $CC=lcc into account by invoking automake with
+	--include-deps so lcc isn't scared by gcc's auto-dependancy
+	generation code. care about $ACLOCAL_FLAGS. optionally feature
+	autoheader.
+
+	* minor fixups in other places to cure some of lcc's warnings.
+
+Sun Sep  6 19:08:53 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* configure.in: added -std1 check for ANSI compliance (from gtk)
+
+Sun Sep  6 12:31:50 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glib.h: provide proper ATEXIT behavior on NeXTStep by !atexit
+
+Sat Sep  5 18:03:36 1998  Tom Tromey  <tromey@cygnus.com>
+
+	* gutils.c (GLIB_INLINE): Define.
+	* glib.h (GLIB_INLINE): New define.
+	(g_bit_nth_msf): Use it.  Also, add prototype.
+	(g_bit_storage): Likewise.
+	(g_bit_storage): Likewise.
+
+Sat Sep  5 04:40:02 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	(g_chunk_new0): use g_mem_chunk_alloc0() to allocate the memchunk,
+	so the correct size of the memchunk is allocated with 0's and not
+	a memory portion of the size of the desired type.
+
+	* gmem.c: new function g_mem_chunk_alloc0() which will initialize
+	a memory area allocated with g_mem_chunk_alloc() with 0's.
+
+Wed Sep  2 19:13:28 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@redhat.com>
+
+	* garray.c glib.h (g_array_[ap/pre]pend_vals): make
+	data argument const.
+
+Wed Aug 26 06:32:40 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gstrfuncs.c: new function g_strnfill() to return a new string
+	of specified length, filled with a specific character.
+
+Tue Sep  1 23:46:31 1998  Josh MacDonald  <jmacd@axis.hip.berkeley.edu>
+
+	* testglib.c (main): Update the array tests.  Reduce the number of
+	iterations for the prepend test from 10000 to 100 since it is
+	O(n^2) and was taking longer than I would like to wait.
+
+	* garray.c: I've worked on the GArray interface, mostly.  It was
+ 	seriously broken before and I hate to do it, but this is going to
+ 	break some code.  It is important to do this now, because more and
+ 	more people are starting to use glib and the interface was both
+ 	broken and inconsistent.  First, rename the _truncate functions of
+ 	both the GArray and GPtrArray classes to _set_size, since this
+ 	function can also be used to extend the arrays.  GArray now
+ 	accepts two more initialization arguments: clear and element_size.
+  	Instead of providing the type to each access function, the array
+ 	now stores the element size.  Clear, if set, causes the library to
+ 	zero element's memory as the array expands.  The major broken-ness
+ 	here was that array->len was in bytes, not elements.  Now, since
+ 	the array knows its element size, array->len is correct and I have
+ 	removed the g_array_length macro.  The only macro which now
+ 	accepts the type as an argument is g_array_index, which casts the
+ 	element to the right type--this interface does not change.  The
+ 	append and prepend functions simply need the types removed.
+  	g_ptr_array_remove_index now returns the removed element.
+
+	* gprimes.c (g_spaced_primes_closest): Move this function out of
+ 	ghash.c and rename it from g_hash_closest_prime.  Fix the primes
+ 	so that they are actually prime (they weren't all -- isn't that
+ 	nice?).
+
+Mon Aug 24 02:08:56 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+ 	* gstring.c:
+	* gstrfuncs.c:
+ 	(g_vsprintf): removed this function which was not publically
+	exported in glib.h. to export it, it should have been named
+ 	differently in the first place, since its semantics differ from
+ 	vsprintf(). apart from that, it was a possible cause for
+	problems since it worked on a previously allocated memory area and
+	was used in a lot places of glib. exporting it would have been a
+	guararant for problems with threaded programs.
+	(g_printf_string_upper_bound): exported this function to return
+	a string size, guarranteed to be big enough to hold the fully
+ 	expanded format+args string. added 'q', 'L' and 'll' flag handling.
+ 	in fact, the newly allocated area is in most cases much bigger than
+ 	required.
+	(g_strdup_vprintf()): new function returning a newly allocated string
+ 	containing the contents of *format and associated args (size is
+	calculated with g_printf_string_upper_bound()).
+	(g_strdup_printf): new function which wraps g_strdup_vprintf().
+
+	* configure.in: check for va_copy() or __va_copy() alternatively.
+	check whether va_lists can be copyied by value.
+
+	* glib.h: provide a definition for G_VA_COPY.
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gmessages.c:
+ 	(g_logv):
+	(g_vsnprintf):
+	pass va_lists by value, not by reference, since this causes problems
+	on platforms that implement va_list as as arrays. internaly, use
+	G_VA_COPY (new_arg, org_arg); va_end (new_arg); to produce a second
+	va_list variable, if multiple passes are required. changed all
+	callers.
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gerror.h:
+	renamed g_debug() to g_on_error_query(), cleaned up a bit.
+	renamed g_stack_trace() to g_on_error_stack_trace() since both
+	functions cluttered different namespaces.
+	there is an appropriate comment in glib.h now that explains the
+	unix and gdb specific dependencies of both functions.
+	removed g_attach_process().
+	g_on_error_stack_trace() should probably be handled with caution,
+	i've seem several different linux versions (2.0.x) become unstable
+	after invokation of this function.
+
+1998-08-18: Elliot Lee <sopwith@redhat.com>
+
+	* In gmem.c, add the ability to exclude memory chunks from the
+ 	  memory profiling information.
+
+Tue Aug 18 18:23:09 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glib.h
+	* gstrfuncs.c: added g_strndup
+
+Tue Aug 18 04:40:17 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gmessages.c: new function g_log_set_always_fatal() to set an
+	additional fatal_mask for log levels that are considered to be fatal
+	globally (required by gtk). since this mask is not domain-associated,
+	it is restricted to the log levels, introduced by glib itself.
+
+	* gmem.c:
+	* grel.c:
+	* gtree.c (g_tree_node_check):
+	don't use g_print() calls for informational/debugging output,
+	but log all this stuff through g_log() with G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO.
+	libraries shouldn't use printf(), g_print() or g_printerr() at all.
+
+Tue Aug 18 02:46:44 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+
+	* glib.h (__STRICT_ANSI__): if __STRICT_ANSI__ is defined, make
+	`inline' a noop, since strict ANSI rules don't permit `inline'.
+
+Mon Aug 17 15:21:42 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* grel.c: made private functions static.
+
+Sun Aug 16 23:23:46 CDT 1998 Shawn T. Amundson <amundson@gtk.org>
+
+	* gmodule/Makefile.am: added gmodule-dl.c and gmodule-dld.c to
+	  EXTRA_DIST
+	* glib.spec: version = 1.1.3
+
+Mon Aug 17 01:46:14 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* glib.m4: feature an extra MODULES parameter, so glib-config can
+	be invoked with the "gmodule" argument.
+
+	* glib.h: changed the log level to G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL for all
+ 	g_return*_if_fail statements, and made them issue a message
+	like "assertion `%s' failed".
+
+	* gmessages.c (g_logv): ugh, don't pass log_domain as NULL to
+ 	g_log_find_domain.
+
+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().
+
+Sun Aug 16 Elliot Lee
+
+	glib.h: #error out if we don't recognize the SIZEOF_VOID_P
+	        #warning if no gint64
+
+Fri Aug 14 16:41:53 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* 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().
+
+Mon Aug 10 17:56:11 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* glib.h: it's GTime now, and it's back!
+
+Mon Aug 10 02:17:19 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* Makefile.am: minor hack to cause SUBDIRS (gmodule) to be build
+	last. we do this by making all-recursive-am depend on all-am.
+
+Sun Aug  9 15:56:11 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in: added GModule checks. generate files in gmodule/.

+
+1998-08-03  Sebastian Wilhelmi  <wilhelmi@ira.uka.de>
+
+	* garray.c (g_ptr_array_remove_index): bugfix: index check for

+	* 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.

+
+	* glib.h:
+	* gutils.h: added a bunch of utility/wrapper functions:
+	g_basename(), g_getcwd(), g_get_user_name(), g_get_real_name(),

+
+	* glib.h:
+	* ghash.c: Generic cleanup, added a function:
+	(g_hash_table_lookup_full): Return whether the lookup succeeded,
+	and also retrieve the key and value. This allows one to
+	distinguish between failed lookup and finding a NULL, and also
+	allows one to free a key in the hash.
+
+Mon Jul  6 10:12:05 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>
+
+	* ltconfig: fix for properly detecting shared lib support on

+	ours. ;)
+
+Fri Jun 19 03:11:02 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* gdataset.c: removed g_dataset_try_key, g_dataset_force_id and

+ 	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
+	_after_ the new data has been setup.

+
+	* ghash.c: new function, g_hash_table_size
+
+	* glib.h: new typedefs, gsize, gssize, gtime.
+
+	* garray.c: new functions implementing a simplified GArray.  This
+	GPtrArray is an array of gpointers and has functions to add and
+	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.
+
+	* testglib.c: tests for g_ptr_array, g_byte_array, and g_relation...
+
+1998-06-11  Federico Mena Quintero  <federico@nuclecu.unam.mx>

+
+	* acinclude.m4: New file.  Contains `libtool.m4' from libtool-1.2,

+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).

+
+	* 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

+
+Mon May 11 09:53:43 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>
+
+	* configure.in: preserve automake CFLAGS.
+

+
+	* ltmain.sh: the -release option is not required anymore.
+
+        * glib.h: provide G_GNUC_FUNCTION and G_GNUC_PRETTY_FUNCTION to

+
+        * 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):

+	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

+
+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

+Fri Apr  3 20:36:35 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>
+
+	* gutils.c (g_parse_debug_string): Make debug string

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

+
+	* glib_pre1.h:
+	* glib_pre2.h:
+	* glib.h: reverted glibconfig.h and glib.h files back to the

+
+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.
+
+Sun Dec  1 01:30:48 1996  Peter Mattis  <pmattis@charnley.HIP.Berkeley.EDU>
+
+	* Started ChangeLog
