| Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.4: |
| |
| * Added generic callback maintenance functions (ghook) |
| * New endian defines (G_*_ENDIAN) |
| * New string join/split/free routines |
| * Fixes |
| |
| Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.3: |
| |
| * New GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic |
| object code loading facilities in a portable manner. |
| * glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule" |
| (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also |
| be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro. |
| * Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be |
| sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now. |
| * New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels, |
| associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library). |
| * New inline functions for bit masks tests. |
| * GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node. |
| * New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some |
| platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of |
| a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf(). |
| People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the |
| associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf). |
| * New utility functions: |
| g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(), |
| g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(), |
| g_strnfill(), g_memdup(). |
| * Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible |
| changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c). |
| * The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the |
| new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the |
| keyed data of GtkObjects). |
| * New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged. |
| * Better configure checks for ansi compliance. |
| * Libtool update to version 1.2b. |
| * Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;) |
| |
| Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.2: |
| |
| * Fixed packaging mistake which occured in 1.1.1 |
| * fix 64-bitness in g_prints in glibtest |
| |
| What is new in GLib 1.1.1: |
| |
| * An n-way tree implementation is provided now, based on the GNode structure. |
| * Bugfix for pointer arrays. |
| |
| What is new in GLib 1.1.0: |
| |
| * GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated |
| shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary |
| incompatibilities. |
| * There is a glib-config helper script installed now. |
| * Fixups all over the place. |
| * gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore. |
| * API extensions for GList and GSList. |
| * New g_str*() functions for simple string handling. |
| * GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling. |
| * Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks. |
| * Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data |
| mechansim, but works for generic memory locations). |
| * More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments. |
| * Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type |
| gconstpointer. |
| * Generic functions for TAB completions. |
| * GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data. |
