Overview of Changes in GLib 1.2.9:
* Move include files into a glib-1-2/ subdir to support parallel
installation with GLib-2.0. If you are installing from source
on top of a previous version, you should to remove $(includedir)/glib.h
$(includedir)/module.h manually before installing the new version.
* Fix warnings about varargs macros with recent GCC versions
* Miscellaneous important bug fixes
(g_strncasecmp, some g_printf_string_upper_bound fixes)
* Addition of .pc files
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
* GArray zero initialization bug fixed
* Fix for upper bound calculation of formatted strings
* Improved GCC detection
* AIX dynamic modules fix to retrive symbols from shared libraries
for the main program.
* Miscellaneous other minor bug fixes
"pth" package. Changes since version 1.2.6:
- gstring.c: changed g_str_hash() to a 31 bit version based on
a submission by Karl Nelson and hand optimized ad absurdum by
various people ;)
- gmain.c: removed spurious non-commented #endif suffix
- gtimer.c (g_timer_elapsed): Never report negative times -
clip times to 0.
- gmain.c (g_timeout_prepare): Guard against unexpected
clock shifts by never setting a timeout of more than
data->interval msecs.
- gmain.c: s/current_time/dispatch_time/ for the dispatch() handlers.
refetch the current time after invocation of poll() to cover up for
the time spent in that function call.
- gstrfuncs.c (g_strtod): correctly fetch the current locale,
fix from owen.
- configure.in: Make the test for getpwuid_r work on newer AIX
versions, too. Still works on Solaris and Linux. Patch from Craig
Rodrigues <rodrigc@mediaone.net>.
- glib.h (G_DIR_SEPARATOR): Add defines for EMX/OS2.
- gcache.c (g_cache_remove): Test if node is NULL.
If not tested, GIMP's script-fu will crash.
- gdataset.c (g_data_set_internal): remove g_dataset_global_lock around
destroy() notification here as well.
- gdataset.c (g_datalist_clear_i): Avoid Freezing, when g_datalist
is called recursivly. Reported by Ola Andersson <rand@ling.umu.se>.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
