102 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
103 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
104 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
105 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

177 build the unmodified source
179 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
181 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
182 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
183 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.

248 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
250 * performance improvements for signal argument handling

285 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
287 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
288 ==============================================
290 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
291 and a parser API for them is now provided
293 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
294 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
295 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
297 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

343 * Translation updates:
355 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
356 ==============================================
358 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
360 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
363 - fix some 'available since' annotations
365 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
368 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
369 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
371 * Translations updated:
387 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
388 ==============================================
390 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
391 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
392 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
393 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

417 * Translation updates:
447 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
448 ==============================================
450 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
451 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
452 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
453 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
454 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
458 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
459 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
461 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
462 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
463 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
464 * documentation fixes
465 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
468 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

474 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends
482 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
483 ==============================================
485 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
487 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
488 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
490 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
491 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
493 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
506 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
507 ==============================================
509 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
512 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
513 ready at a specified monotonic time
515 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
517 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
520 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
521 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

619 * Translation updates:
634 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
635 ==============================================
637 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
638 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
639 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
640 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
641 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
643 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
644 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
645 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
646 particular, are incompatible.
648 * Bugs fixed in this release:
649 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
650 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

693 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
694 ==============================================
696 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
697 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
698 causing regressions in applications.
700 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
701 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
702 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
705 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
706 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
707 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
709 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
711 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
713 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
715 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
717 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
719 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
721 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
723 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
725 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
727 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

781 give feedback if they cause trouble:
783 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
784 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
786 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
788 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

1615 * Translation updates:
1620 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
1621 ==============================================
1624 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1625 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1626 to an overridden property
1627 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1628 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1630 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1631 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

1675 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1676 ==============================================
1678 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1679 moved to GtkApplication.
1681 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1682 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1683 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1684 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1686 * lots of documentation improvements
1688 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1690 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1691 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1693 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1695 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1697 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1699 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1700 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1703 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1704 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1708 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1709 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
1710 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
1711 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
1712 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1713 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1715 * Translations updated:
1719 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1720 ==============================================
1722 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1723 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1724 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1727 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1728 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1729 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1732 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1733 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1734 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1735 through an idle on the context.
1737 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1738 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1739 fixes here and there.
1741 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1742 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1743 API available outside GLib
1745 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1787 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1788 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1790 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1793 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1794 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

1809 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1810 =================================================
1812 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1813 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1815 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1816 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1817 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1818 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1819 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1820 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1821 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1822 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1823 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1824 required (and has been deprecated)
1825 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1826 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1827 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1828 without explicit initialisation.
1829 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1830 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1831 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1833 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1834 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1835 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1836 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1837 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1838 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1839 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1841 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1842 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1843 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1844 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1845 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1846 - other implementation details changed
1848 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1849 deprecated/ directory.
1851 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1852 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1853 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1855 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1856 platform over a year ago).
1858 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1859 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1861 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1862 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1864 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1865 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1866 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1867 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1870 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1871 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1874 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1876 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1877 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1879 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1880 in a multi-threaded program
1882 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1883 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1886 - drop -uninstalled variants
1887 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1889 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1890 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1891 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1893 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1895 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1896 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1899 - many code generation updates and improvements
1900 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1903 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1904 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1906 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1908 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)

2350 ==============================================
2352 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2353 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2354 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2355 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2356 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2357 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2359 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2360 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

2426 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2427 ==============================================
2430 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2431 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2432 an 'object manager' pattern:
2433 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2434 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2435 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2436 And server-side implementations:
2437 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2438 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2439 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2443 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2447 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2448 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2449 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2450 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2453 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2454 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2457 * Unix-specific APIs:
2458 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2459 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2460 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2461 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2462 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2463 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2494 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2495 ==============================================
2498 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2499 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2500 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2503 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2504 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2505 situations has been improved
2508 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2509 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2512 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2513 match strcmp() semantics
2514 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2515 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2516 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2518 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2519 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2522 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2524 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2526 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2527 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2528 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2770 that starts with a dot
2771 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended

2806 ==============================================
2808 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2809 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2814 g_get_monotonic_time
2816 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2819 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2821 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2823 g_simple_async_result_take_error

2859 - Support environment passing
2862 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2863 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2865 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2866 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2867 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2871 158725 free linked list with data
2872 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

2884 * Translation updates:
2890 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2891 ==============================================
2893 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2894 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2896 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2897 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2899 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2901 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2903 g_settings_get_range
2904 g_settings_range_check
2905 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2907 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2908 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2910 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2911 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2913 g_main_context_invoke
2914 g_main_context_invoke_full
2916 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2917 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2918 looking for default applications.
2920 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2921 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2922 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2923 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2925 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2926 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2927 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3093 - There are GAction and GActionGroup interfaces now, which will
3094 be used in GApplication in the near future.
3097 - There are now convenience macros for defining boxed and
3102 - GDBusProxy for well-known names can now auto-restart
3103 the service if the name owner disapperas

3185 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3186 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3188 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3189 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3190 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3191 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3194 There have been many other improvements, however:
3197 - vastly improved test coverage
3198 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3199 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3200 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

3249 =====================================================
3251 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3252 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3253 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3254 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3255 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3256 | required (and will be along soon). |
3257 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3260 - cleanup automake setup
3261 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
3262 - various docs fixups
3263 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

3280 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
3281 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3282 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3285 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

3317 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3318 =====================================================
3320 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3321 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3322 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3323 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3324 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3327 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3328 -Bsymbolic-functions
3329 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3330 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3331 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3332 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3333 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3336 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3337 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3338 nobody was doing that.
3339 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3341 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3342 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3344 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3345 have a serial number
3346 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3348 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3350 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3351 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3352 has finished running on GDBus services.
3353 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3354 this due to the obvious race)
3355 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3356 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3359 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3360 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3361 arguments and different behaviour
3362 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3363 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3364 strings instead of utf8 strings
3365 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3366 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3367 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3368 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3369 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3370 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3371 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3372 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3373 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3376 - improved documentation
3377 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3378 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3379 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3380 overridden using <override>.
3381 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3383 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3384 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3385 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3386 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3387 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3388 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3389 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3390 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3391 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3392 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3393 being set due to a premature free
3394 - command line tool: bash completion support
3395 - chain up in _finalize
3396 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3398 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3399 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3400 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3402 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3403 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3404 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3405 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3406 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3410 - always intern GBinding prop names
3411 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3412 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3413 - GNode docs improvements
3414 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3415 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3416 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3420 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3421 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3422 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3423 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3424 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3425 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3426 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3427 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3429 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3430 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3431 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3432 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3433 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3434 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3435 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3436 610784 array test failing
3437 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3438 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
3439 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
3440 622124 implement flags

3451 623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
3452 623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"

4130 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4131 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4134 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4135 interfaces to dynamic types.

4859 ===================================================

4862 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

4865 also uses less memory overall.

4870 that a GError is set or unset
4872 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4874 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4875 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4877 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
