Wed Jun 10 12:56:07 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

	* glib.h: renamed g_const_pointer => gconstpointer

Tue Jun  9 17:47:33 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

	* glib.h: Remove #error - HP/UX.

Sat May 23 19:00:01 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>
  [ Combination of:
     gtk-rrh-980412-0.patch (Raja R Harinath <harinath@cs.umn.edu>)
     gtk-jbuhler-980516-0 (Jeremy Buhler <jbuhler@cs.washington.edu>) ]
	
	* 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().

Sat Jun  6 14:09:22 PDT 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

	problems

Wed Jun  3 06:19:42 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* glib.h (g_chunk_new0): convenience macro, for allocating small chunks 
	like g_chunk_new() with additional 0 initialization.

Mon Jun  1 04:43:27 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* ghash.c (g_hash_table_insert): wrote a comment describing why
	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
	size of a GString.

	* glib.h (g_strreversed): new function to reverse a string.

Mon May 18 22:14:39 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>
(Yasuhiro SHIRASAKI <joke@awa.tohoku.ac.jp> : gtk-joke-980517-0.patch)
	
	* gutils.c: Restored a missing prototype for g_vsprintf.

Wed May 20 05:02:26 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

        * glib.h: conditionally define NULL, FALSE and TRUE.
        (g_mem_chunk_create): new convenience macro as a short hand for
        g_mem_chunk_new().
        (g_chunk_free): new convenience macro to be consistent with g_chunk_new.

Tue, 19 May 1998 09:00:02 +0200  §Paolo Molaro <lupus@debian.org>

	* gcompletion.c: generic functions for com<TAB>pletion...

 	the data of the nth element in the list.

Fri May 15 22:31:49 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	* gscanner.c (g_scanner_unexp_token): removed spurious va_end(args)
 	that for some reason didn't produce a compiler wrning on my machine
 	(is va_end undefined for i386?).

Fri May 15 12:32:08 1998  rodo  <doulik@karlin.mff.cuni.cz>

	* gscanner.c: replaced some snprintf with g_snprintf

Fri May 15 00:56:59 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gtk.org>

	(g_scanner_msg_handler): "\n" at end of line!
	(g_scanner_foreach_symbol): new function to iterate over the symbol
 	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>

 	* glib/glib.h: Added macros G[U]INT_TO_POINTER() and
	GPOINTER_TO_[U]INT for storing small integers integers
	inside pointers. 
	
	* glib/testglib.c: Print sizeof() results
	as g_print("%ld", (glong)sizeof(foo)), to deal with
	size_t being long on Alpha's.

Tue May 12 16:54:15 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>
	(James A <jamesa@demon.net> : gtk-jamesa-980511-4.patch)
	
	* glib.h gstring.c gmessages.c: Added some missing
	const to arguments.

	* gutils.c (g_strsignal.c): Added missing return statements.

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
	a certain location and a key id.

Sat May  9 20:08:12 1998  Owen Taylor  <otaylor@gtk.org>

        * 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.
	(g_strup): g_string_up() 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

Fri Apr  3 17:03:18 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

	* gstring.c: corrected possible overrun when inserting into
	GStrings (thanks Elrond)

Thu Mar 26 20:47:21 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

	* configure.in glib glibconfig.h.in: Add test for atexit/on_exit -

Sun Mar 15 07:13:34 1998  Tim Janik  <timj@gimp.org>

	* gutils.c: changed *_handler variables to be named glib_*_handler,
	so you can easily access them from gdb.

Sat Mar 14 17:47:43 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

	* Makefile.am: Don't refer to current directory as $(top_builddir)
	to avoid confusing non-gmakes

	* Makefile.am (configincludedir): Moved glibconfig.h to
          $(pkglibdir)/include

	  From: Stefan Wille  <1wille@vsys1.informatik.uni-hamburg.de>

Mon Feb 16 23:05:06 1998  Owen Taylor  <owt1@cornell.edu>

	* glist.c (g_list_insert_sorted): Changed function
	  so elements are always inserted, even if they compare

	interchanged src and dest parameters for g_memmove. Fixed.

Tue Jan 27 01:38:52 PST 1998 Manish Singh <yosh@gimp.org>

	* gslist.c: fixed a really, really lame error. g_slist_insert

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

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

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
