3 * Interface::add_interface(): Disabled the check for a second call,
4 introduced in 2.6.0, for now, because it stops some valid uses.
9 New stable version. Changes compare to glibmm 2.4.x:
11 * Added Option, OptionContext, OptionGroup for parsing of command-line arguments.
12 * Added filename_display_basename() and filename_display_name().
13 * Added setenv() and unsetenv().
14 * add_interface() methods will no longer give warnings if you
17 - Now reuses C properties documentation.
21 * add_interface() methods will no longer give warnings if you
23 * gmmproc: Output properties documentation taken from the .defs.
24 * examples now build on AIX.
26 * MSVC++ .Net 2003 build fix. (Cedric Gustin)
30 * Now builds with the following compilers, in addition to
31 the existing GNU g++, and Intel compilers:
36 (Older versions of all these compilers might also work.)
37 (Murray Cumming, www.thewrittenword.com)
38 * Now builds with MSVC++ .Net 2003 (gtkmm 2.4 already did).
44 * Added Option(GOptionGroup* cast_item) constructor,
46 * Added reference documentation.
52 - Allow parsing of boolean arguments (arguments with no value).
53 - Really use the short names.
54 (Daniel Holbach, Murray Cumming)
55 * Added filename_display_basename() and filename_display_name().
57 * Added setenv() and unsetenv(). (Murray Cumming)
58 * Use static keyword to prevent exporting private API.
60 * input example: Improvements and simplification. (Chris Vine)
64 * OptionEntry: Remove useless enum. (Murray Cumming)
66 - examples: Added iochannel_stream example. (Chris Vine)
67 - reference: Generate more reference API from the C documentation, and
68 try to use the libstdc++ doxygen tags file to link to their
69 documentation. (Murray Cumming)
73 * OptionContext, OptionGroup, OptionEntry: Made the add_entry() methods
74 type-safe and fixed several problems memory-management problems. This
75 API is now worth looking at.
79 * Added OptionContext, OptionGroup, and OptionEntry classes, for
80 parsing of command-line options. See examples/options/
84 * Signals: Avoid crashes when disconnecting a signal when handling that signal.
85 (Murray Cumming, Martin Schulze)
89 * Minor improvements to reference documentation. (Daniel Elstner)
90 * Minor Glib::Dispatcher improvements (Daniel Elstner)
94 * Glib::Dispatcher: win32 implementation rewritten, and hopefully, improved.
97 - Optimization and code-cleanup. (Daniel Elstner)
98 - Added reference documentation for constuctors. (Murray Cumming)
99 * Fixed some compiler warnings.
101 * gmmproc: Some improvements for libgdamm. (Murray Cumming)
106 * Build fixes for gcc 3.4.0.
107 * Doxygen not required when building from tarballs.
115 * 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.
116 * When using pkg-config, you should check for "glibmm-2.4".
117 * Glib::ObjectBase inherits virtually from SigC::Object, allowing multiple inheritance with other classes that inherit from SigC::Object.
119 - is_null() was removed, to encourage you to use "== 0" instead.
120 - operator=(CppObject*) was removed.
121 * The gtkmmproc code-generator is now gmmproc, and has several improvements to support gtkmm 2.4.
122 * Now uses improved libsigc++ 2.0 API.
123 * Added i18n.h and i18n-lib.h, which include the relevant
124 glib headers, which declare internationalization
127 Glib::spawn_close_id(), Glib::MainLoop::depth(),
128 Glib::Date::clamp_min(), Glib::Date::clamp_max().
129 * Improved documentation.
134 * Fix crash when using Glib::Main signals.
136 * Corrected the configure-time SUN compiler check.
137 (Murray Cumming, Alexander Nedotsukov)
141 * Added configure macros to detect SUN compiler oddities.
142 * Various SUN Forte C+ and g++ 3.4 (cvs) build fixes.
144 * gmmproc: Improved parsing of C docs.
149 * Added i18n.h and i18n-lib.h, which include the relevant
150 glib headers, which declare internationalization
151 macros such as _(). (Murray Cumming)
152 * Added Glib::spawn_close_id(). (Murray Cumming)
153 * Added Glib::MainLoop::depth(). (Murray Cumming)
154 * Documentation: corrections to CHANGES (Martin Schulze).
155 * gmmproc: Can now handle "const const_iterator& iter"
156 parameter names without getting confused by 2 consts.
161 * glibmm now uses libsigc++ 2 rather than libsigc++ 1.2.
165 * ListHandle/SListHandle (intermediate container types):
166 - Added a const_cast<> to allow lists of const elements.
167 * gmmproc: _WRAP_SIGNAL(): Added optional custom_c_callback
170 * WIN32: Build fixes, mostly merged from the 2.2 branch.
175 * gmmproc (code generator)
176 - properties: Make read-only properties have const accessors,
177 and add a second read-only const accessor for normal
178 properties. Wrap construct-only properties as read-only,
179 instead of ignoring them.
180 - vfuncs: Really generate const vfuncs when requested. Put
181 the method declaration directly into the .h file, so that
182 the doxygen documentation can be next to it.
184 - Remove mergecdocs configure option - always
185 merge the C docs, to avoid any risk of uploading or
186 releasing empty documentation. Just delete the *_docs.xml
187 files to make building from cvs faster.
188 - Install a GLIBMM_CHECK_PERL() macro, for use by gtkmm
189 and other *mm projects, to get the perl path needed by
191 - Install beautify_docs.pl so it can be reused in gtkmm
192 and other *mm projects, instead of having lots of copies.
193 * Glib::ObjectBase: The default constructor, never before used,
194 now generates a custom GType, for use when creating new
195 implementations of Glib::Interfaces - for instance, see the
196 new custom tree model example in gtkmm.
197 * Glib::Date: Added clamp_min() and clamp_max().
201 - Added reference documentation for MainLoop, MainContext,
202 Source, and Date. (Alberto Paro)
206 * gmmproc (code generator):
207 - signal proxies have extra space to avoid << with templates.
208 - Added WRAP_METHOD_DOCS_ONLY() for reusing documentation even
209 when the method is hand-coded.
210 - _WRAP_SIGNAL(): Added optional no_default_handler parameter,
211 because some of the new GTK+ signals have no public default
213 * Added Glib::init(), for use by non-GUI apps which need to
215 * PropertyProxy: Can now be used with Interfaces.
216 * Documentation improvements, so that gtkmm docs link to glibmm
222 * gmmproc changes needed by gtkmm 2.3.0
224 * examples updated and buildable and working,
226 (J. Abelardo Gutierrez)
228 Changes in glibmm 2.3.0:
230 * Now separate from gtkmm, so you can use things like Glib::ustring without depending on gtkmm.
231 This glibmm 2.4 API installs in parallel with gtkmm 2.0/2.2, so you can install this unstable library
232 without the risk of breaking existing application.
233 * This does not yet require glib 2.3 because there has been no tarball release of that yet. For now, you
234 can use glibmm 2.3.0 with glib 2.2.x.
235 * When using pkg-config, you should check for "glibmm-2.4".
236 * Glib::ObjectBase inherits virtually from SigC::Object, allowing multiple inheritance with other
237 classes that inherit from SigC::Object.
239 - is_null() was removed, to encourage you to use "== 0" instead.
240 - operator=(CppObject*) was removed.
241 * gtkmmproc is now gmmproc.
242 * All the glibmm bugfixes in gtkmm 2.2.x.
