564
[Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
565

566
been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
567
queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
568
variants [Martyn Russell]
571

572
moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]

578
- G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
579
constants [Andrew Paprocki]

581
compiler to emit a warning if the value returned

584
extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
600
=================================================
602
- The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
603
adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
604
enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
606
- The various Unicode character predicate functions
607
(g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
610
- g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
611
These functions handle negative offsets now, and
612
going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
614
[Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
617
- Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
618
GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
619
- All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
620
and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
621
data structures) have been deprecated, since they
622
never worked as intended.
623
- The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
624
new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
625
The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
626
wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
627
efficient and scalable implementation.
628
[Tim Janik, Matthias]
631
- g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
632
unnecessary recursion.
635
* g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
636
- New functions to intern strings. These are now used
637
by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
641
- New function to iterate over all GThreads
644
* g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
645
- New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
646
GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
650
* g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
651
- These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
652
since they are in glib.h
