GLib has a specific type for byte arrays: `GBytes` (and it's underlying
GType `G_TYPE_BYTES`).
By using this type, we can avoid having a `GimpUint8Array` which is a
bit cumbersome to use for both the C API, as well as bindings. By using
`GBytes`, we allow other languages to pass on byte arrays as they are
used to, while the bindings will make sure to do the right thing.
In the end, it makes the API a little bit simpler for everyone, and
reduces confusion for people who are used to working with byte arrays
in other C/GLib based code (and not having 2 different types to denote
the same thing).

Plug-ins are not prepared to handle high-precision brushes/
patterns, even when they're otherwise aware of high-precision
drawables, so make sure to always use compat formats when
communicating brush/pattern data to plug-ins.
Allowing plug-ins to handle high-precision brush/pattern data would
require some additional API.
Begin to consider GimpObject::name as private and always use
gimp_object_get_name(). Change gimp_object_get_name() to take an
untyped pointer so we don't have to do so awfully many casts. There is
a runtime check for the type inside the function anyway.

* all files with a GPL header and all COPYING files:
Change licence to GPLv3 (and to LGPLv3 for libgimp).
Cleaned up some copyright headers and regenerated the parsers in

* app/pdb/Makefile.am

pointers to register the internal procedures with. Changed some
newlines in the generated code.
* app/pdb/*_cmds.c
* app/pdb/internal_procs.[ch]: regenerated.
* app/core/gimppdbprogress.[ch]
* app/widgets/gimppdbdialog.[ch]: added "pdb" CONSTRUCT_ONLY
properties.
* app/plug-in/plug-in-progress.c
* app/gui/gui-vtable.c: pass gimp->pdb when creating them.

instead of some foo->bar->gimp->pdb overkill.
2006-04-03 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
* app/core/gimpparamspecs.[ch]: added a shitload of new GTypes and
corresponding GParamSpecs to use them as PDB arguments.
Each GimpPDBArgType has one or more corresponding GTypes in the
core now.
* app/pdb/gimpargument.[ch] (struct GimpArgument)
(struct GimpArgumentSpec): removed "value" member because the
GValue's/GParamSpec's GType carries just as much information now.
(gimp_argument_type_to_pdb_arg_type): new function which maps
GTypes to GimpPDBArgType.
(gimp_pdb_arg_type_to_string): formerly known as
procedural_db_type_name().
* app/pdb/gimpprocedure.[ch]
* app/pdb/procedural_db.[ch]: completely switch to GValue. Use the
new GParamSpecs for procedure arguments. GimpPDBArgType is only
used for adding compat args/values of plug-in procedures.
(procedural_db_run_proc): the va_list expects a sequence of
(GType, value, GType, value, ..., G_TYPE_NONE) now.
* app/plug-in/plug-in-params.[ch]: changed accordingly.
(plug_in_param_defs_check): removed this function.
* app/plug-in/plug-in-message.c (plug_in_handle_proc_install): use
plug_in_proc_args_check() instead and initialize the GimpProcedure
before doing so.
* tools/pdbgen/app.pl
* tools/pdbgen/pdb.pl: use the new param spec types and their
utility functions. Changed argument/value registration
accordingly.

2004-12-13 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
* app/widgets/gimppdbdialog.[ch]: don't forget the context we
were created with but rmember it as pdb_dialog->caller_context.
* app/widgets/gimpbrushselect.c
* app/widgets/gimpfontselect.c
* app/widgets/gimpgradientselect.c
* app/widgets/gimppaletteselect.c
* app/widgets/gimppatternselect.c: use the caller_context when
calling the temp_proc so the temp_proc's stack frame doesn't
contain the dialog's private context (which is just a scratch
model for the container views) but the plug-in's real context
which is fully initialized. Fixes bug #161114.
2004-09-27 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
* app/actions/brushes-actions.c
* app/actions/gradients-actions.c
* app/actions/palettes-actions.c
* app/actions/patterns-actions.c: made the "foo-edit" actions
GimpStringActions and pass the identifier of the editor dialog
to the callback.
* app/actions/data-commands.[ch] (data_edit_data_cmd_callback):
show the editor dialog here instead of calling view->edit_func().
* app/dialogs/dialogs-constructors.[ch]: removed the brush,
gradient and palette edit_funcs.
* app/widgets/widgets-types.h: removed typedef GimpDataEditFunc.
* app/widgets/gimpdatafactoryview.[ch]: removed the edit_func
member and parameters and create the edit button unconditionally.
* app/widgets/gimpbrushfactoryview.[ch]
* app/widgets/gimppatternfactoryview.[ch]: changed accordingly.
* app/widgets/Makefile.am
* app/widgets/gimpdataselect.[ch]: removed this class, it's not
needed any longer.
* app/widgets/gimpbrushselect.[ch]
* app/widgets/gimpgradientselect.[ch]
* app/widgets/gimppaletteselect.[ch]
* app/widgets/gimppatternselect.[ch]: derive them from GimpPdbDialog
and follow the edit_func removal.
* app/gui/gui-vtable.c (gui_pdb_dialog_new): removed edit_func
stuff.
* app/widgets/gimpcontainereditor.c: minor unrelated cleanup.
2004-08-10 Michael Natterer <mitch@gimp.org>
