| Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1 |
| ================================================= |
| |
| * Memory management |

| - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to |
| g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod] |
| - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen] |
| |
| * Data structures |
| - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim] |
| |
| * Thread support |
| - Support for Solaris threads has been removed |
| [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki] |
| - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have |
| been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority |
| queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked |
| variants [Martyn Russell] |
| |
| * GObject: |
| - The concept of a floating initial reference has been |
| moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim] |
| |
| * Win32 changes: |
| - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist] |
| |
| * Misc new API: |
| - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64 |
| constants [Andrew Paprocki] |
| - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the |
| compiler to emit a warning if the value returned |
| by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson] |
| - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an |
| extra user data argument [Martyn Russell] |
| - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim] |
| |
| * $LOGNAME is respected when determining user data. [Laszlo Peter] |
| |

| Christian Persch, Benedikt Meurer, Andrew Paprocki, |
| Kazuki Iwamoto, Alexis S. L. Carvalho, Stanislav Brabec, |

| |
| Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0 |
| ================================================= |
| * Unicode support: |
| - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1, |
| adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType |
| enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10 |
| [Behdad Esfahbod] |
| - The various Unicode character predicate functions |
| (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have |
| been optimized |
| [Behdad] |
| - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer: |
| These functions handle negative offsets now, and |
| going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses |
| "stutter stepping". |
| [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen] |
| |
| * Memory management: |
| - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and |
| GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10 |
| - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator, |
| and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other |
| data structures) have been deprecated, since they |
| never worked as intended. |
| - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a |
| new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks. |
| The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple |
| wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an |
| efficient and scalable implementation. |
| [Tim Janik, Matthias] |
| |
| * Pattern matching: |
| - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid |
| unnecessary recursion. |
| [Tim, Matthias] |
| |
| * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string: |
| - New functions to intern strings. These are now used |
| by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings |
| [Matthias] |
| |
| * g_thread_foreach: |
| - New function to iterate over all GThreads |
| [Tim, Matthias] |
| |
| * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val: |
| - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or |
| GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated |
| in favor of these. |
| [Roger Leigh] |
| |
| * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf: |
| - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h, |
| since they are in glib.h |
| [Matthias] |
