295 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
296 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
300 158725 free linked list with data

320 ==============================================
322 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
323 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
325 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
326 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
328 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
330 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
333 g_settings_range_check
334 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
336 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
337 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
339 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
340 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
342 g_main_context_invoke
343 g_main_context_invoke_full
345 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
346 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
347 looking for default applications.
349 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
350 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
351 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
352 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
354 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
355 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
356 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

613 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
614 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
615 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
617 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
618 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
619 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
620 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
623 There have been many other improvements, however:
626 - vastly improved test coverage
627 - old tests moved to the gtester framework

746 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
747 =====================================================
749 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
750 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
751 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
752 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
753 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
756 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
758 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
759 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
760 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
761 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
762 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
765 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
766 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
767 nobody was doing that.
768 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
770 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
771 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
773 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
775 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
777 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
779 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
780 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
781 has finished running on GDBus services.
782 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
783 this due to the obvious race)
784 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
785 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
788 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
789 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
790 arguments and different behaviour
791 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
792 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
793 strings instead of utf8 strings
794 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
795 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
796 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
797 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
798 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
799 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
800 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
801 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
802 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
805 - improved documentation
806 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
807 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
808 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
809 overridden using <override>.
810 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
812 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
813 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
814 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
815 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
816 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
817 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
818 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
819 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
820 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
821 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
822 being set due to a premature free
823 - command line tool: bash completion support
824 - chain up in _finalize
825 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
827 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
828 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
829 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
831 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
832 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
833 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
834 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
835 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
839 - always intern GBinding prop names
840 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
841 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
842 - GNode docs improvements
843 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
844 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
845 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
849 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check

851 - improved tests for GKeyfile
852 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
853 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
854 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
855 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
856 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
858 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
859 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
860 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
861 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
862 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
863 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
864 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
865 610784 array test failing
866 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

1552 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1553 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1554 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1555 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1556 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1557 while loading or saving it.
1558 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1559 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1560 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1563 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1564 interfaces to dynamic types.
1567 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

3945 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3946 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3947 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3948 efficient and scalable implementation.

3967 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3971 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3972 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,

4932 and shell quoting/unquoting functions. [Havoc]
4933 * Split glib.h into many headers. [Sebastian]
4934 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
4935 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
4936 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
4937 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
4938 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
4939 * Many documentation improvements.
4944 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
