89 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
90 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
91 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
93 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
94 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
95 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
96 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
99 There have been many other improvements, however:
102 - vastly improved test coverage
103 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
104 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
105 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

154 =====================================================
156 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
157 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
158 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
159 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
160 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |

222 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
223 =====================================================
225 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
226 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
227 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
228 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
229 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
232 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
234 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
235 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
236 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
237 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
238 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
241 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
242 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
243 nobody was doing that.
244 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
246 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
247 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
249 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
251 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
253 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
255 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
256 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
257 has finished running on GDBus services.
258 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
259 this due to the obvious race)
260 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
261 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
264 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
265 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
266 arguments and different behaviour
267 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
268 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
269 strings instead of utf8 strings
270 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
271 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
272 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
273 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
274 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
275 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
276 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
277 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
278 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
281 - improved documentation
282 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
283 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
284 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
285 overridden using <override>.
286 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
288 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
289 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
290 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
291 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
292 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
293 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
294 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
295 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
296 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
297 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
298 being set due to a premature free
299 - command line tool: bash completion support
300 - chain up in _finalize
301 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
303 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
304 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
305 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
307 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
308 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
309 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
310 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
311 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
315 - always intern GBinding prop names
316 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
317 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
318 - GNode docs improvements
319 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
320 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
321 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
325 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check

327 - improved tests for GKeyfile
328 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
329 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
330 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
331 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
332 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
334 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
335 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
336 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
337 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
338 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
339 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
340 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
341 610784 array test failing
342 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
343 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

1025 ===================================================
1028 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1029 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1030 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1031 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1032 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1033 while loading or saving it.
1034 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1035 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1036 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1039 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1040 interfaces to dynamic types.
