Raw Normal View History

2.6.1:
* Interface::add_interface(): Disabled the check for a second call,
introduced in 2.6.0, for now, because it stops some valid uses.
(Bryan Forbes)
2.6.0:
New stable version. Changes compare to glibmm 2.4.x:
* Added Option, OptionContext, OptionGroup for parsing of command-line arguments.
* Added filename_display_basename() and filename_display_name().
* Added setenv() and unsetenv().
* add_interface() methods will no longer give warnings if you
call them twice.
* gmmproc:
- Now reuses C properties documentation.
2.5.6:
* add_interface() methods will no longer give warnings if you
call them twice.
* gmmproc: Output properties documentation taken from the .defs.
* examples now build on AIX.
(Murray Cumming)
* MSVC++ .Net 2003 build fix. (Cedric Gustin)
2.5.5:
* Now builds with the following compilers, in addition to
the existing GNU g++, and Intel compilers:
- SUN Forte CC 5.5
- IBM AIX xlC v7
- Tru64 C++ V6.5-042
- IRIX MIPSpro 7.4.2m
(Older versions of all these compilers might also work.)
(Murray Cumming, www.thewrittenword.com)
* Now builds with MSVC++ .Net 2003 (gtkmm 2.4 already did).
(Cedric Gustin)
2.5.4:
Options:
* Added Option(GOptionGroup* cast_item) constructor,
needed by Gtk::Main.
* Added reference documentation.
(Murray Cumming)
2.5.3:
* Options:
- Allow parsing of boolean arguments (arguments with no value).
- Really use the short names.
(Daniel Holbach, Murray Cumming)
* Added filename_display_basename() and filename_display_name().
(Murray Cumming)
* Added setenv() and unsetenv(). (Murray Cumming)
* Use static keyword to prevent exporting private API.
(Benoît Dejean)
* input example: Improvements and simplification. (Chris Vine)
2.5.2:
* OptionEntry: Remove useless enum. (Murray Cumming)
* Documentation:
- examples: Added iochannel_stream example. (Chris Vine)
- reference: Generate more reference API from the C documentation, and
try to use the libstdc++ doxygen tags file to link to their
documentation. (Murray Cumming)
2.5.1:
* OptionContext, OptionGroup, OptionEntry: Made the add_entry() methods
type-safe and fixed several problems memory-management problems. This
API is now worth looking at.
2.5.0:
* Added OptionContext, OptionGroup, and OptionEntry classes, for
parsing of command-line options. See examples/options/
2.4.4:
* Signals: Avoid crashes when disconnecting a signal when handling that signal.
(Murray Cumming, Martin Schulze)
*
2.4.3:
* Minor improvements to reference documentation. (Daniel Elstner)
* Minor Glib::Dispatcher improvements (Daniel Elstner)
2.4.2:
* Glib::Dispatcher: win32 implementation rewritten, and hopefully, improved.
(Daniel Elstner)
* Glib::ustring:
- Optimization and code-cleanup. (Daniel Elstner)
- Added reference documentation for constuctors. (Murray Cumming)
* Fixed some compiler warnings.
(Daniel Elstner)
* gmmproc: Some improvements for libgdamm. (Murray Cumming)
2.4.1:
* Build fixes for gcc 3.4.0.
* Doxygen not required when building from tarballs.
(Murray Cumming)
2.4.0:
Changes since 2.2.0:
* Now separate from gtkmm, so you can use things like Glib::ustring without depending on gtkmm. This glibmm 2.4 API installs in parallel with gtkmm 2.0/2.2, so you can install applications which use either.
* When using pkg-config, you should check for "glibmm-2.4".
* Glib::ObjectBase inherits virtually from SigC::Object, allowing multiple inheritance with other classes that inherit from SigC::Object.
* RefPtr:
- is_null() was removed, to encourage you to use "== 0" instead.
- operator=(CppObject*) was removed.
* The gtkmmproc code-generator is now gmmproc, and has several improvements to support gtkmm 2.4.
* Now uses improved libsigc++ 2.0 API.
* Added i18n.h and i18n-lib.h, which include the relevant
glib headers, which declare internationalization
macros such as _().
* New methods:
Glib::spawn_close_id(), Glib::MainLoop::depth(),
Glib::Date::clamp_min(), Glib::Date::clamp_max().
* Improved documentation.
2.3.8:
* Fix crash when using Glib::Main signals.
(Martin Schulze)
* Corrected the configure-time SUN compiler check.
(Murray Cumming, Alexander Nedotsukov)
2.3.7:
* Added configure macros to detect SUN compiler oddities.
* Various SUN Forte C+ and g++ 3.4 (cvs) build fixes.
(Murray Cumming)
* gmmproc: Improved parsing of C docs.
(Hagen Moebius)
2.3.6:
* Added i18n.h and i18n-lib.h, which include the relevant
glib headers, which declare internationalization
macros such as _(). (Murray Cumming)
* Added Glib::spawn_close_id(). (Murray Cumming)
* Added Glib::MainLoop::depth(). (Murray Cumming)
* Documentation: corrections to CHANGES (Martin Schulze).
* gmmproc: Can now handle "const const_iterator& iter"
parameter names without getting confused by 2 consts.
(Murray Cumming)
2.3.5:
* glibmm now uses libsigc++ 2 rather than libsigc++ 1.2.
2.3.4:
* ListHandle/SListHandle (intermediate container types):
- Added a const_cast<> to allow lists of const elements.
* gmmproc: _WRAP_SIGNAL(): Added optional custom_c_callback
parameter.
(Murray Cumming)
* WIN32: Build fixes, mostly merged from the 2.2 branch.
(Cedric Gustin)
2.3.3:
* gmmproc (code generator)
- properties: Make read-only properties have const accessors,
and add a second read-only const accessor for normal
properties. Wrap construct-only properties as read-only,
instead of ignoring them.
- vfuncs: Really generate const vfuncs when requested. Put
the method declaration directly into the .h file, so that
the doxygen documentation can be next to it.
- documentation:
- Remove mergecdocs configure option - always
merge the C docs, to avoid any risk of uploading or
releasing empty documentation. Just delete the *_docs.xml
files to make building from cvs faster.
- Install a GLIBMM_CHECK_PERL() macro, for use by gtkmm
and other *mm projects, to get the perl path needed by
doxygen.
- Install beautify_docs.pl so it can be reused in gtkmm
and other *mm projects, instead of having lots of copies.
* Glib::ObjectBase: The default constructor, never before used,
now generates a custom GType, for use when creating new
implementations of Glib::Interfaces - for instance, see the
new custom tree model example in gtkmm.
* Glib::Date: Added clamp_min() and clamp_max().
(Murray Cumming)
* Documentation:
- Added reference documentation for MainLoop, MainContext,
Source, and Date. (Alberto Paro)
2.3.2:
* gmmproc (code generator):
- signal proxies have extra space to avoid << with templates.
- Added WRAP_METHOD_DOCS_ONLY() for reusing documentation even
when the method is hand-coded.
- _WRAP_SIGNAL(): Added optional no_default_handler parameter,
because some of the new GTK+ signals have no public default
handler vfunc.
* Added Glib::init(), for use by non-GUI apps which need to
use Glib::wrap().
* PropertyProxy: Can now be used with Interfaces.
* Documentation improvements, so that gtkmm docs link to glibmm
docs.
(Murray Cumming)
2.3.1:
* gmmproc changes needed by gtkmm 2.3.0
(Murray Cumming)
* examples updated and buildable and working,
without gtkmm code.
(J. Abelardo Gutierrez)
Changes in glibmm 2.3.0:
* Now separate from gtkmm, so you can use things like Glib::ustring without depending on gtkmm.
This glibmm 2.4 API installs in parallel with gtkmm 2.0/2.2, so you can install this unstable library
without the risk of breaking existing application.
* This does not yet require glib 2.3 because there has been no tarball release of that yet. For now, you
can use glibmm 2.3.0 with glib 2.2.x.
* When using pkg-config, you should check for "glibmm-2.4".
* Glib::ObjectBase inherits virtually from SigC::Object, allowing multiple inheritance with other
classes that inherit from SigC::Object.
* RefPtr:
- is_null() was removed, to encourage you to use "== 0" instead.
- operator=(CppObject*) was removed.
* gtkmmproc is now gmmproc.
* All the glibmm bugfixes in gtkmm 2.2.x.
