184 build the unmodified source
186 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling

292 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
294 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
295 ==============================================
297 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
298 and a parser API for them is now provided
300 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
301 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
302 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

362 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
363 ==============================================
365 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
367 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
370 - fix some 'available since' annotations
372 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
375 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

378 * Translations updated:
394 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
395 ==============================================
397 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
398 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
399 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
400 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

424 * Translation updates:
454 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
455 ==============================================
457 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
458 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
459 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
460 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
461 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
465 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
466 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
468 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
469 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
470 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
471 * documentation fixes
472 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
475 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

489 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
490 ==============================================
492 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
494 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
495 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
497 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
498 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
500 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
513 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
514 ==============================================
516 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
519 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
520 ready at a specified monotonic time
522 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
524 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
527 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
528 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

626 * Translation updates:
641 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
642 ==============================================
644 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
645 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
646 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
647 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
648 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
650 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
651 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
652 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
653 particular, are incompatible.
655 * Bugs fixed in this release:
656 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
657 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

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

790 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
791 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

1628 ==============================================
1631 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1632 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1633 to an overridden property
1634 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1635 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1637 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1638 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

1682 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1683 ==============================================
1685 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1686 moved to GtkApplication.
1688 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1689 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1690 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1691 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1693 * lots of documentation improvements
1695 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1697 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1698 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1700 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1702 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1704 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1706 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1707 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1710 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1711 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1715 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1716 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
1717 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
1718 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
1719 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1720 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1722 * Translations updated:
1726 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1727 ==============================================
1729 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1730 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1731 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1734 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1735 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1736 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1739 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1740 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1741 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1742 through an idle on the context.
1744 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1745 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1746 fixes here and there.
1748 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1749 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1750 API available outside GLib
1752 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1794 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1795 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1797 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

1816 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1817 =================================================
1819 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1820 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1822 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1823 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1824 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1825 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1826 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1827 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1828 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1829 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1830 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1831 required (and has been deprecated)
1832 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1833 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1834 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1835 without explicit initialisation.
1836 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1837 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1838 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1840 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1841 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1842 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1843 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1844 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1845 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1846 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1848 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1849 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1850 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1851 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1852 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1853 - other implementation details changed
1855 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1856 deprecated/ directory.
1858 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1859 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1860 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1862 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1863 platform over a year ago).
1865 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1866 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1868 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1869 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1871 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1872 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1873 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1874 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1877 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1878 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1881 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1883 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1884 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1886 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1887 in a multi-threaded program
1889 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1890 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1893 - drop -uninstalled variants
1894 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1896 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1897 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1898 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1900 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1902 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1903 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1906 - many code generation updates and improvements
1907 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1910 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API

2357 ==============================================
2359 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2360 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2361 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2362 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2363 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2364 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2366 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2367 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

2433 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2434 ==============================================
2437 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2438 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2439 an 'object manager' pattern:
2440 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2441 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2442 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2443 And server-side implementations:
2444 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2445 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2446 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2450 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2454 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2455 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2456 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2457 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2460 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2461 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2464 * Unix-specific APIs:
2465 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2466 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2467 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2468 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2469 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2470 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2501 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2502 ==============================================
2505 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2506 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2507 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2510 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2511 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2512 situations has been improved
2515 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2516 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2519 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2520 match strcmp() semantics
2521 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2522 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2523 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2525 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2526 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2529 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2531 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2533 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2534 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2535 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2777 that starts with a dot
2778 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
2779 and fallback mime handlers

2813 ==============================================
2815 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2816 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2821 g_get_monotonic_time
2823 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2826 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2828 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2830 g_simple_async_result_take_error

2866 - Support environment passing
2869 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2870 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2872 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2873 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2874 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2878 158725 free linked list with data
2879 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

2889 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
2891 * Translation updates:
2897 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2898 ==============================================
2900 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2901 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2903 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2904 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2906 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2908 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2910 g_settings_get_range
2911 g_settings_range_check
2912 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2914 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2915 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2917 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2918 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2920 g_main_context_invoke
2921 g_main_context_invoke_full
2923 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2924 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2925 looking for default applications.
2927 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2928 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2929 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2930 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2932 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2933 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2934 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3192 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3193 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3195 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3196 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3197 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3198 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3201 There have been many other improvements, however:
3204 - vastly improved test coverage
3205 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3206 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3207 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

3256 =====================================================
3258 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3259 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3260 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3261 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3262 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3263 | required (and will be along soon). |
3264 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3267 - cleanup automake setup
3268 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
3269 - various docs fixups

3288 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3289 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3292 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

3325 =====================================================
3327 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3328 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3329 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3330 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3331 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3334 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3335 -Bsymbolic-functions
3336 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3337 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3338 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3339 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3340 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3343 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3344 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3345 nobody was doing that.
3346 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3348 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3349 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3351 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3352 have a serial number
3353 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3355 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3357 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3358 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3359 has finished running on GDBus services.
3360 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3361 this due to the obvious race)
3362 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3363 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3366 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3367 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3368 arguments and different behaviour
3369 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3370 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3371 strings instead of utf8 strings
3372 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3373 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3374 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3375 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3376 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3377 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3378 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3379 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3380 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3383 - improved documentation
3384 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3385 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3386 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3387 overridden using <override>.
3388 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3390 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3391 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3392 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3393 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3394 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3395 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3396 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3397 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3398 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3399 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3400 being set due to a premature free
3401 - command line tool: bash completion support
3402 - chain up in _finalize
3403 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3405 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3406 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3407 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3409 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3410 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3411 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3412 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3413 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3417 - always intern GBinding prop names
3418 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3419 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3420 - GNode docs improvements
3421 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3422 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3423 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3427 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3428 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3429 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3430 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3431 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3432 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3433 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3434 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3436 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3437 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3438 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3439 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3440 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3441 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3442 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3443 610784 array test failing

4137 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4138 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4141 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4142 interfaces to dynamic types.

4869 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

4877 that a GError is set or unset
4879 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4881 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4882 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4884 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
