1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.3 to 2.37.4
2 ==============================================
5 701283 g_source_add_child_source() segfault
6 702147 inconsistency of G_STRFUNC
7 703191 new private macros interact poorly with versioning macros
8 703254 Doc: various fixes
9 703407 g_spawn_async() keeps child_pid_report_pipe open in child process
10 703437 GDBusConnection: be more careful with async GetAll
11 703478 Missing G_BEGIN/END_DECLS in gsettingsschema.h
13 * Translation updates:
16 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.2 to 2.37.3
17 ==============================================
19 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
21 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
22 build the unmodified source
24 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
26 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
27 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
28 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
35 698375 - D-Bus async properties
36 700350 - timestamp issue
37 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
38 700035 - new API for instance private data
40 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
41 ==============================================
43 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
44 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
46 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
47 and will trigger a warning.
50 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation
52 - Set prgname to appid for services
55 549783 gtester lacks framework for tests with data files
56 692848 Fix property example in gobject tutorial
57 698018 Add an explicit g_binding_release()
58 698614 GObject: prevent installing properties after init
59 699259 add org.freedesktop.Application support to GIO

90 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
91 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
93 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
95 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
97 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
98 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
99 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
101 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

130 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
132 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
133 ==============================================
135 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
136 and a parser API for them is now provided
138 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
139 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
140 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
142 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

188 * Translation updates:
200 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
201 ==============================================
203 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
205 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
208 - fix some 'available since' annotations
210 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
213 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
214 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
216 * Translations updated:
232 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
233 ==============================================
235 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
236 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
237 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
238 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

262 * Translation updates:
292 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
293 ==============================================
295 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
296 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
297 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
298 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
299 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
303 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
304 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
306 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
307 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
308 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
309 * documentation fixes
310 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
313 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

319 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends
327 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
328 ==============================================
330 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
332 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
333 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
335 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
336 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
338 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
351 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
352 ==============================================
354 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
357 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
358 ready at a specified monotonic time
360 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
362 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
365 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
366 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

464 * Translation updates:
479 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
480 ==============================================
482 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
483 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
484 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
485 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
486 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
488 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
489 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
490 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
491 particular, are incompatible.
493 * Bugs fixed in this release:
494 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

538 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
539 ==============================================
541 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
542 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
543 causing regressions in applications.
545 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
546 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
547 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
550 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
551 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
552 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
554 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
556 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
558 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
560 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
562 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
564 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
566 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
568 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
570 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
572 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

1466 ==============================================
1469 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1470 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1471 to an overridden property
1472 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1473 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1475 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1476 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

1520 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1521 ==============================================
1523 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1524 moved to GtkApplication.
1526 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1527 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1528 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1529 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1531 * lots of documentation improvements
1533 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1535 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1536 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1538 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1540 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1542 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1544 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1545 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1548 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1549 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1553 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1554 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

1557 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1558 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1560 * Translations updated:
1564 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1565 ==============================================
1567 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1568 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1569 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1572 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1573 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1574 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1577 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1578 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1579 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1580 through an idle on the context.
1582 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1583 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1584 fixes here and there.
1586 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1587 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1588 API available outside GLib
1590 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1631 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1632 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1633 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1635 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

1654 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1655 =================================================
1657 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1658 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1660 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1661 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1662 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1663 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1664 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1665 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1666 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1667 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1668 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1669 required (and has been deprecated)
1670 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1671 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1672 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1673 without explicit initialisation.
1674 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1675 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1676 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1678 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1679 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1680 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1681 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1682 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1683 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1684 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1686 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1687 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1688 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1689 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1690 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1691 - other implementation details changed
1693 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1694 deprecated/ directory.
1696 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1697 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1698 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1700 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1701 platform over a year ago).
1703 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1704 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1706 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1707 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1709 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1710 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1711 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1712 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1715 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1716 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1719 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1721 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1722 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1724 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1725 in a multi-threaded program
1727 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1728 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1731 - drop -uninstalled variants
1732 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1734 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1735 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1736 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1738 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1740 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1741 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1744 - many code generation updates and improvements
1745 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1748 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1749 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1751 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1753 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1756 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1757 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1759 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1760 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1762 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1764 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1768 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1769 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

2195 ==============================================
2197 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2198 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2199 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2200 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2201 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2202 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2204 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2205 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

2262 * Updated translations:
2271 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2272 ==============================================
2275 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2276 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2277 an 'object manager' pattern:
2278 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2279 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2280 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2281 And server-side implementations:
2282 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2283 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2284 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2288 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2292 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2293 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2294 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2295 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2298 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2299 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2302 * Unix-specific APIs:
2303 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2304 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2305 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2306 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2307 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2308 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2332 * Updated translations
2339 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2340 ==============================================
2343 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2344 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2345 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2348 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2349 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2350 situations has been improved
2353 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2354 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2357 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2358 match strcmp() semantics
2359 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2360 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2361 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2363 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2364 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2367 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2369 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2371 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2372 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2373 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2653 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2654 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2659 g_get_monotonic_time
2661 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2664 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2666 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

2704 - Support environment passing
2707 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2708 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2710 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2711 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2712 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2716 158725 free linked list with data

2729 * Translation updates:
2735 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2736 ==============================================
2738 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2739 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2741 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2742 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2744 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2746 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2748 g_settings_get_range
2749 g_settings_range_check
2750 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2752 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2753 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2755 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2756 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2758 g_main_context_invoke
2759 g_main_context_invoke_full
2761 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2762 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2763 looking for default applications.
2765 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2766 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2767 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2768 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2770 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2771 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2772 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3030 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3031 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3033 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3034 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3035 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3036 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3039 There have been many other improvements, however:
3042 - vastly improved test coverage
3043 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3044 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3045 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
3048 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
3051 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
3052 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
3053 - improve debug output, add some extra options
3054 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
3056 - sort property names correctly
3057 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
3059 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
3062 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
3063 without mapping functions
3064 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
3067 - improve closure support for bindings
3068 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
3071 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
3074 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config

3093 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
3094 =====================================================
3096 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3097 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3098 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3099 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3100 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3101 | required (and will be along soon). |
3102 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3105 - cleanup automake setup
3106 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
3107 - various docs fixups
3108 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
3109 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
3112 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
3114 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
3115 - add g_settings_reset()
3116 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
3119 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
3120 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
3121 - proper support for file descriptor passing
3122 - new flags parameter for sending messages
3123 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
3124 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
3125 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
3126 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3127 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3130 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
3131 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
3132 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
3133 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
3134 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
3135 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
3138 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
3139 617483 Credentials passing
3140 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property
3141 623293 vendor override files
3142 623810 Message serialization bug
3143 623815 Don't check sender for GDBusProxy objects where name is not set
3144 624473 GDBusSubtreeIntrospectFunc return type

3162 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3163 =====================================================
3165 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3166 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3167 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3168 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3169 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3172 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3173 -Bsymbolic-functions
3174 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3175 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3176 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3177 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3178 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3181 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3182 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3183 nobody was doing that.
3184 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3186 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3187 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3189 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3190 have a serial number
3191 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3193 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3195 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3196 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3197 has finished running on GDBus services.
3198 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3199 this due to the obvious race)
3200 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3201 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3204 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3205 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3206 arguments and different behaviour
3207 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3208 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3209 strings instead of utf8 strings
3210 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3211 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3212 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3213 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3214 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3215 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3216 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3217 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3218 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3221 - improved documentation
3222 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3223 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3224 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3225 overridden using <override>.
3226 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3228 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3229 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3230 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3231 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3232 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3233 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3234 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3235 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3236 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3237 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3238 being set due to a premature free
3239 - command line tool: bash completion support
3240 - chain up in _finalize
3241 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3243 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3244 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3245 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3247 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3248 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3249 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3250 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3251 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3255 - always intern GBinding prop names
3256 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3257 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3258 - GNode docs improvements
3259 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3260 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3261 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3265 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3266 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3267 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3268 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3269 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3270 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3271 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3272 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3274 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3275 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3276 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3277 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3278 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3279 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3280 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3281 610784 array test failing
3282 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3283 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

3299 623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
3300 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
3301 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty

3975 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3976 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3979 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3980 interfaces to dynamic types.

4707 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

4710 also uses less memory overall.

4715 that a GError is set or unset
4717 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4719 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4720 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4722 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4723 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
