36  
37 * HPUX 11 thread system detection should now work
38 * Release the main loop lock around calls to prepare() and
39 check() so it is not held over user code
40 * A few Win32 fixups
41  
42 Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.14:
43  
44 * Check for dlsym() in system libraries and -dl

119 * New functions:
120 - g_strescape: escapes backslashes
121 - g_path_is_absolute and g_path_skip_root
122 - g_getenv: expands environment variables that contain references
123 to other environment variables
124 - g_scanner_sync_file_offset: rewind the filedescriptor to the current
125 buffer position and blow the file read ahead buffer
126 - g_array_remove_index: remove an entry, preserving the order
127 - g_array_remove_index_fast: remove an entry, order might be distorted

144 Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.4:
145  
146 * Added generic callback maintenance functions (ghook)
147 * New endian defines (G_*_ENDIAN)
148 * New string join/split/free routines
149 * Fixes
150  
151 Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.3:
152  
153 * New GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic
154 object code loading facilities in a portable manner.
155 * glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
156 (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
157 be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
158 * Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
159 sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
160 * New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
161 associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
162 * New inline functions for bit masks tests.
163 * GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
164 * New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
165 platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
166 a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
167 People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
168 associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
169 * New utility functions:
170 g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
171 g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
172 g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
173 * Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
174 changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
175 * The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
176 new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
177 keyed data of GtkObjects).
178 * New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
179 * Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
180 * Libtool update to version 1.2b.
181 * Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)
182  
183 Overview of Changes in GLib 1.1.2:
184  
185 * Fixed packaging mistake which occured in 1.1.1
186 * fix 64-bitness in g_prints in glibtest
187  
188 What is new in GLib 1.1.1:
189  
190 * An n-way tree implementation is provided now, based on the GNode structure.
191 * Bugfix for pointer arrays.
192  
193 What is new in GLib 1.1.0:
194  
195 * GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated
196 shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
197 incompatibilities.
198 * There is a glib-config helper script installed now.
199 * Fixups all over the place.
200 * gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore.
201 * API extensions for GList and GSList.
202 * New g_str*() functions for simple string handling.
203 * GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
204 * Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
205 * Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
206 mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
207 * More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
208 * Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
209 gconstpointer.
210 * Generic functions for TAB completions.
211 * GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.
