25 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
26 ==============================================
29 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
30 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
31 to an overridden property
32 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
33 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
35 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
36 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
38 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
40 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

70 * Updated translations
80 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
81 ==============================================
83 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
84 moved to GtkApplication.
86 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
87 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
88 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
89 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
91 * lots of documentation improvements
93 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
95 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
96 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
98 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
100 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
102 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
104 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
105 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
108 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
109 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
110 664699 glib: documentation fixes
111 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
112 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
113 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
114 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
115 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
116 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
117 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
118 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
120 * Translations updated:
124 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
125 ==============================================
127 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
128 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
129 There have also been many related improvements to action group
132 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
133 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
134 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
137 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
138 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
139 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
140 through an idle on the context.
142 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
143 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
144 fixes here and there.
146 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
147 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
148 API available outside GLib
150 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

185 ==============================================
187 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
189 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
191 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
192 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
193 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
195 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
198 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
199 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
200 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
203 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
204 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
207 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
210 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
211 - various GIO file and stream fixes
212 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
214 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
215 =================================================
217 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
218 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
220 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
221 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
222 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
223 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
224 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
225 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
226 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
227 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
228 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
229 required (and has been deprecated)
230 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
231 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
232 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
233 without explicit initialisation.
234 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
235 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
236 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
238 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
239 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
240 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
241 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
242 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
243 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
244 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
246 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
247 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
248 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
249 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
250 - GThread is now a refcounted type
251 - other implementation details changed
253 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
254 deprecated/ directory.
256 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
257 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
258 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
260 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
261 platform over a year ago).
263 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
264 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
266 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
267 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
269 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
270 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
271 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
272 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
275 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
276 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
279 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
281 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
282 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
284 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
285 in a multi-threaded program
287 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
288 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
291 - drop -uninstalled variants
292 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
294 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
295 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
296 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
298 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
300 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
301 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
304 - many code generation updates and improvements
305 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
308 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
309 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
311 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
313 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
316 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
317 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
319 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
320 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
322 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
324 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
328 * Partial list of bugs closed:

754 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
755 ==============================================
757 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
758 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
759 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
760 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
761 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
762 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
764 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
765 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
767 * Access to quarks is now lockless
769 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
771 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
773 * Introspection improvements:

822 * Updated translations:
831 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
832 ==============================================
835 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
836 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
837 an 'object manager' pattern:
838 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
839 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
840 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
841 And server-side implementations:
842 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
843 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
844 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
848 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
852 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
853 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
854 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
855 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
858 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
859 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
862 * Unix-specific APIs:
863 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
864 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
865 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
866 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
867 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
868 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

892 * Updated translations
899 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
900 ==============================================
903 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
904 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
905 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
908 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
909 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
910 situations has been improved
913 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
914 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
917 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
918 match strcmp() semantics
919 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
920 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
921 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
923 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
924 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
927 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
929 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
931 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
932 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
933 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1210 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
1211 ==============================================
1213 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1214 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1219 g_get_monotonic_time
1221 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1224 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1226 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
1228 g_simple_async_result_take_error
1229 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
1230 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
1232 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
1235 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
1236 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
1237 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
1239 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
1240 g_get_user_runtime_dir
1242 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
1245 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
1246 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

1248 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error
1249 633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
1251 * Translation updates:
1259 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
1260 ==============================================
1263 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
1264 - Support environment passing
1267 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1268 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1270 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1271 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1272 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1276 158725 free linked list with data
1277 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
1278 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

1286 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
1287 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
1289 * Translation updates:
1295 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1296 ==============================================
1298 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1299 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1301 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1302 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1304 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1306 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1308 g_settings_get_range
1309 g_settings_range_check
1310 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1312 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1313 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1315 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1316 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1318 g_main_context_invoke
1319 g_main_context_invoke_full
1321 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1322 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1323 looking for default applications.
1325 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1326 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1327 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1328 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1330 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1331 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1332 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1587 =====================================================
1589 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1590 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1591 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1593 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1594 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1595 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1596 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1599 There have been many other improvements, however:
1602 - vastly improved test coverage
1603 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1604 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1605 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

1654 =====================================================
1656 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1657 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1658 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1659 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1660 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1661 | required (and will be along soon). |
1662 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1665 - cleanup automake setup
1666 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1667 - various docs fixups
1668 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

1684 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
1685 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
1686 - constness fixes for introspection structures
1687 - clean ups to subtree registration API
1690 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

1694 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
1695 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
1698 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

1723 =====================================================
1725 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1726 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1727 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1728 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1729 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1732 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1733 -Bsymbolic-functions
1734 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1735 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1736 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1737 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1738 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1741 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1742 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1743 nobody was doing that.
1744 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1746 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1747 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1749 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1750 have a serial number
1751 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1753 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1755 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1756 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1757 has finished running on GDBus services.
1758 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1759 this due to the obvious race)
1760 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1761 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1764 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1765 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1766 arguments and different behaviour
1767 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1768 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1769 strings instead of utf8 strings
1770 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1771 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1772 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1773 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1774 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1775 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1776 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1777 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1778 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1781 - improved documentation
1782 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1783 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1784 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1785 overridden using <override>.
1786 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1788 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1789 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1790 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1791 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1792 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1793 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1794 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1795 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1796 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1797 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1798 being set due to a premature free
1799 - command line tool: bash completion support
1800 - chain up in _finalize
1801 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1803 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1804 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1805 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1807 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1808 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1809 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1810 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
1811 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
1815 - always intern GBinding prop names
1816 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
1817 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1818 - GNode docs improvements
1819 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts

2528 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
2529 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
2530 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
2531 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
2532 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
2533 while loading or saving it.
2534 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
2535 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2536 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2539 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2540 interfaces to dynamic types.
2543 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
2544 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

3263 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
3264 ===================================================
3266 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
3267 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
3268 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
3269 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
3270 also uses less memory overall.
3272 * Make g_poll available as public api
3274 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
3275 that a GError is set or unset
3277 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
3279 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
3280 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
3282 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
3283 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

4897 =================================================
4899 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
4900 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
4901 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
4903 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
4904 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
4907 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
4908 These functions handle negative offsets now, and

4911 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
4913 * Memory management:
4914 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

4916 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
4917 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
4918 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
4919 never worked as intended.
4920 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
4921 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
4922 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
4923 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
4924 efficient and scalable implementation.
4925 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
4928 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
4929 unnecessary recursion.
4932 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:

4934 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
4938 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
4941 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
4942 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
4943 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
4947 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
4948 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
4949 since they are in glib.h
