208 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
212 158725 free linked list with data

234 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
235 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
237 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
238 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
240 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
242 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
245 g_settings_range_check
246 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
248 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
249 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
251 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
252 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
254 g_main_context_invoke
255 g_main_context_invoke_full
257 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
258 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
259 looking for default applications.
261 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
262 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
263 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
264 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
266 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
267 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
268 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

526 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
527 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
529 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
530 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
531 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
532 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
535 There have been many other improvements, however:

661 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
662 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
663 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
664 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
665 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

673 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
674 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am

678 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
679 nobody was doing that.

687 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
689 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
691 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
692 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
693 has finished running on GDBus services.
694 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
695 this due to the obvious race)
696 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
697 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
700 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
701 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
702 arguments and different behaviour
703 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
704 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
705 strings instead of utf8 strings
706 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
707 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
708 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
709 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped

722 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
724 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
725 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
726 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
727 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
728 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
729 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
730 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
731 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
732 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
733 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
734 being set due to a premature free
735 - command line tool: bash completion support
736 - chain up in _finalize
737 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
739 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
740 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
741 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
743 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
744 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
745 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
746 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
747 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in

1464 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1465 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1466 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1467 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1468 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1469 while loading or saving it.
1470 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1471 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1472 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1475 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1476 interfaces to dynamic types.

2200 ===================================================
2202 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2203 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2204 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
2205 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
2206 also uses less memory overall.
2208 * Make g_poll available as public api
2210 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2211 that a GError is set or unset
2213 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2215 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2216 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2218 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2219 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3832 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
3833 =================================================
3835 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
3836 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
3837 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
3839 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
3840 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
3843 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
3844 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
3845 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
3847 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
3849 * Memory management:
3850 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
3851 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
3852 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
3853 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
3854 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
3855 never worked as intended.
3856 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
3857 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3858 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3859 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3860 efficient and scalable implementation.
3861 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
3864 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
3865 unnecessary recursion.
3868 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
3869 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
