102 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
103 ===================================================
105 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
106 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
107 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
108 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
109 also uses less memory overall.
111 * Make g_poll available as public api
113 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
114 that a GError is set or unset
116 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
118 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
119 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
121 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
122 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

1746 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

1760 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
1761 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
1762 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
1763 efficient and scalable implementation.
1764 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
1767 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
1768 unnecessary recursion.

1777 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
1780 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
1781 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
1782 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
1786 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
1787 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
1788 since they are in glib.h
