2004-08-05  Rodrigo Moya <rodrigo@novell.com>

    Fixes #62030

    * e-icon-factory.c (load_icon): get the icon_key as a new argument
    and use that in the call to icon_new().
    (e_icon_factory_get_icon): pass icon_key to load_icon().
    (e_icon_factory_get_icon_list): ditto.

2004-08-01  JP Rosevear  <jpr@novell.com>

    * e-pilot-util.c (e_pilot_get_sync_source): find the source with
    the pilot-sync property
    (e_pilot_set_sync_source): give the source the pilot-sync property
    and make sure its the only one

    * e-pilot-util.h: add prototypes

    * Makefile.am (eutilincludedir): don't build pilot settings

2004-07-20  Not Zed  <NotZed@Ximian.com>

    * e-dialog-utils.c: include config.h.  See #61395.

2004-07-12  Dan Winship  <danw@novell.com>

    * e-mktemp.c (e_mktemp, e_mkdtemp): un-const the return values,
    since they need to be freed
    (d): turn off debugging
    (expire_dir_rec): remove debug printfs

2004-07-02  Chris Toshok  <toshok@ximian.com>

    [ fixes #60691 ]
    
    * e-iterator.h: rename the "delete" member to
    "remove", to fix c++ build.

    * e-iterator.c (e_iterator_delete): same.
    (e_iterator_class_init): same.

    (e_list_iterator_remove): same.

2004-06-03  Dan Winship  <danw@novell.com>

    * e-icon-factory.c (load_icon): If the icon_name is an abolute
    path, just load it.
    (e_icon_factory_get_icon): Update the docs to reflect that

2004-06-01  Not Zed  <NotZed@Ximian.com>

    * e-fsutils.c (e_fsutils_avail): use statvfs if available.  Should
    make it actually work, if not portable.  This is for a bug but I
    can't recall the number.

2004-05-27  Rodney Dawes  <dobey@novell.com>

    * Makefile.am (dist-hook): Require e-error-tool

2004-05-19  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

    * e-icon-factory.c: Lots of re-working action. We no longer load a
    pixbuf for each and every available size when requesting the icon
    for the first time, instead we simply load the requested icon of
    the requested size and cache only that.
    (e_icon_factory_get_icon): Always return a broken image icon if we
    fail to load the requested icon.
    (e_icon_factory_get_icon_list): Only bother with adding icons of
    the sizes that are suggested by ghe gtk documentation for
    gtk_window_set_icon_list rather than the sizes of the standard
    icons (since it isn't the same list of sizes).
    (load_icon): Fall back to EVOLUTION_ICONSDIR/WWxHH/icon_name if
    the icon-theme lookup fails. Also now takes a 'scale' argument
    which, if non-zero, allows us to look for images of the same name
    with a larger size in order to scale them back down to what we
    need.

2004-05-19  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

    * e-gui-utils.c (e_icon_for_mime_type): We always have
    GnomeIconTheme nowadays, get rid of the old unused code.
    (e_create_image_widget): Use E_ICON_SIZE_DIALOG

2004-05-17  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

    * e-icon-factory.h (E_ICON_SIZE_LIST/STATUS): New #define aliases
    for common icon usage cases where it may not be obvious that they
    are the same size as menu icons.

2004-05-12  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@novell.com>

    * e-icon-factory.c (e_icon_factory_shutdown): New function to
    clean up the cached icons.

2004-05-12  Not Zed  <NotZed@Ximian.com>

    * e-error-tool.c: Tool to do i18n string extraction for error xml
    files.

2004-05-10  Not Zed  <NotZed@Ximian.com>

    * e-fsutils.c (e_fsutils_usage): new file/function, get disk usage
    of a path, in 1024 byte blocks.
    (e_fsutils_avail): new file/function, get disk space available for
    a given path, in 1024 byte blocks.

    * e-meta.[ch]: Removed.  Poor idea badly executed, and no longer used.

    * e-path.h: add a fixme about deprecation.

2004-04-30  Not Zed  <NotZed@Ximian.com>

    * e-lang-utils.[ch]: Removed.  This is covered by
    gnome_i18n_get_language_list, which is more complete.

2004-04-30  Dan Winship  <danw@ximian.com>

    * e-icon-factory.c (load_icon): Make this work for non-stock icons
    too.

2004-04-22  Not Zed  <NotZed@Ximian.com>

    * e-icon-factory.c (e_icon_factory_get_icon_list): make sure we
    unlock if we fail to find an icon.

2004-04-21  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    * e-icon-factory.c: Remove the warnings about using E_ICON_SIZE
    enums.

2004-04-20  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    * e-icon-factory.c (e_icon_factory_get_icon): Make
    thread-safe. Fixes a crash I encountered this morning.
    (e_icon_factory_get_icon_filename): Same.
    (e_icon_factory_get_icon_list): Here too.

2004-04-19  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    * e-icon-factory.h: Add an enum for icon sizes (temporarily has
    absolute pixel sizes assigned to it until I commit
    e-icon-factory.c changes - but only after all other code has been
    updated to use the enums).

2004-04-16  Michael Terry  <mike@mterry.name>

    * Makefile.am: Add e-icon-factory.[ch]
    * e-gui-utils.c: Use the icon theme via EIconFactory
    * e-icon-factory.[ch]: Move EIconFactory to e-util, and add icon theme
    support to the object so evolution uses them

    * e-signature-list.c (gconf_signatures_changed): Don't add an
    autogen signature if the new signature is the autogen signature.

2004-04-13  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    * e-host-utils.c (e_gethostbyname_r): Implemented a similar
    workaround to the one I did for a gethostbyaddr_r() glibc bug
    here. Glibc will apparently return success for addresses such as
    "192..168.1.1" (note the double dot) and yet not have filled in
    the hostent properly.

2004-04-12  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    Really fixes bug #56623

    * e-signature-list.c (gconf_signatures_changed): If we've had to
    "fix" any signatures by adding a uid, set the resave state on the
    list (only cared about if this is at initial load time).
    (e_signature_list_construct): If we've set any uids in
    signatures_changed(), then save the signature list back out.

2004-04-09  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    * e-account.c (xml_set_identity): If we fail to set a sig_uid then
    try to extract the old style signature id and assume the migration
    code will fix us up (if not, nothing bad will happen anyway).

    * e-signature-list.c (gconf_signatures_changed): If the autogen
    signature isn't in the list (or isn't the first in the list), add
    it to the head of the list.

2004-04-07  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    Probably fixes bug #56623 and others?

    * e-signature-list.c (gconf_signatures_changed): Fixed to not use
    free'd iter memory. Also reverse the new_sigs list before adding
    them to the signature list (so they are in the same order they
    appeared in the gconf key).

2004-04-05  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    * e-signature-list.c (gconf_signatures_changed): Fixed to not
    ignore signatures without uids (e.g. signatures that were from
    prior versions).

2004-04-02  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    * e-signature.c (e_signature_to_xml): Always set a format prop so
    that 1.4 and older 1.5 versions won't strcmp() on a NULL value.

2004-04-01  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    * e-account.c: Reference signatures by their UID rather than by an
    integer id. Also removed the need to have 2 signature settings (no
    need for the "auto" signature boolean anymore).

2004-03-31  Jeffrey Stedfast  <fejj@ximian.com>

    * e-signature.[c,h]: New class similar to EAccount but for
    signatures.

    * e-signature-list.[c,h]: New class similar to EAccountList only
    for signatures.

2004-03-31  Not Zed  <NotZed@Ximian.com>

    * e-account-list.h: similar to below.

    * e-account.h: define struct _EAccount* so you can properly forward
    declare it.

2004-03-18  Not Zed  <NotZed@Ximian.com>

    * e-account.c: Added options for transport_url and source_url
    permissions.
