550 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
551 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
552 to an overridden property
553 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref

602 ==============================================
604 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
605 moved to GtkApplication.
607 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
608 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
609 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
610 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
612 * lots of documentation improvements
614 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
616 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
617 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
619 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
621 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
623 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
625 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
626 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)

645 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
646 ==============================================
648 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
649 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
650 There have also been many related improvements to action group
653 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
654 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
655 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
658 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
659 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
660 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these

663 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
664 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
665 fixes here and there.

668 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
669 API available outside GLib

705 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
706 ==============================================
708 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
710 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
712 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
713 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
714 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
716 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
719 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
720 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
721 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
724 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
725 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
728 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
731 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
732 - various GIO file and stream fixes
733 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
735 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
736 =================================================
738 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
739 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
741 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
742 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
743 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
744 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
745 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
746 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
747 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
748 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
749 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
750 required (and has been deprecated)
751 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
752 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
753 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
754 without explicit initialisation.
755 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
756 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
757 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
759 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
760 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
761 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
762 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
763 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
764 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
765 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
767 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
768 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
769 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
770 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
771 - GThread is now a refcounted type
772 - other implementation details changed
774 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
775 deprecated/ directory.
777 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
778 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
779 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
781 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
782 platform over a year ago).
784 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
785 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
787 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
788 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
790 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
791 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
792 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
793 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
796 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
797 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
800 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
802 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
803 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
805 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
806 in a multi-threaded program
808 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
809 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
812 - drop -uninstalled variants
813 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
815 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
816 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
817 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
819 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
821 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
822 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
825 - many code generation updates and improvements
826 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
829 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
830 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
832 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
834 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
837 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
838 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
840 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
841 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
843 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
845 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
849 * Partial list of bugs closed:
850 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1275 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
1276 ==============================================
1278 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1279 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1280 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1281 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1282 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1283 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1285 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1286 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1288 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1290 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
1292 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
1294 * Introspection improvements:

1343 * Updated translations:
1352 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1353 ==============================================
1356 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1357 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1358 an 'object manager' pattern:
1359 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1360 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1361 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1362 And server-side implementations:
1363 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1364 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1365 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1369 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1373 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1374 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1375 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1376 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1379 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1380 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1383 * Unix-specific APIs:
1384 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1385 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1386 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1387 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1388 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1389 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1406 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
1407 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
1408 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

1411 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
1413 * Updated translations
1420 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1421 ==============================================
1424 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1425 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1426 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1429 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1430 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1431 situations has been improved
1434 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1435 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1438 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1439 match strcmp() semantics
1440 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1441 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1442 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1444 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1445 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1448 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1450 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1452 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1453 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1454 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1833 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1834 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1836 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1837 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1839 g_main_context_invoke
1840 g_main_context_invoke_full
1842 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1843 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1844 looking for default applications.
1846 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1847 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1848 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1849 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1851 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1852 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1853 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2107 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.12 to GLib 2.25.13
2108 =====================================================
2110 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2111 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2112 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2114 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2115 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2116 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2117 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2120 There have been many other improvements, however:
2123 - vastly improved test coverage
2124 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2125 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2126 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2174 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2175 =====================================================
2177 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2178 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2179 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2180 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2181 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2182 | required (and will be along soon). |
2183 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2186 - cleanup automake setup
2187 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2188 - various docs fixups
2189 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2195 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
2196 - add g_settings_reset()
2197 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2200 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

2202 - proper support for file descriptor passing
2203 - new flags parameter for sending messages
2204 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
2205 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2206 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2207 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2208 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2211 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2215 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2216 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2219 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
2220 617483 Credentials passing
2221 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

2243 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2244 =====================================================
2246 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2247 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2248 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2249 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2250 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2253 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2254 -Bsymbolic-functions
2255 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2256 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2257 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2258 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2259 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2262 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2263 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2264 nobody was doing that.
2265 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2267 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2268 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2270 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2271 have a serial number
2272 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2274 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2276 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2277 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2278 has finished running on GDBus services.
2279 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2280 this due to the obvious race)
2281 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2282 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2285 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2286 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2287 arguments and different behaviour
2288 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2289 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2290 strings instead of utf8 strings
2291 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2292 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2293 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2294 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2295 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2296 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2297 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2298 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2299 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2302 - improved documentation
2303 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2304 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2305 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2306 overridden using <override>.
2307 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2309 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2310 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2311 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2312 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2313 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2314 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2315 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2316 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2317 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2318 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2319 being set due to a premature free
2320 - command line tool: bash completion support
2321 - chain up in _finalize
2322 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2324 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2325 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2326 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2328 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2329 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2330 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2331 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2332 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2336 - always intern GBinding prop names
2337 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2338 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2339 - GNode docs improvements
2340 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2341 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2342 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2346 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2347 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2348 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2349 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2350 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2351 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2352 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2353 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2355 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2356 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2357 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2358 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2359 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2360 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2361 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

3046 ===================================================
3049 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3050 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3051 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3052 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3053 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3054 while loading or saving it.
3055 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3056 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3057 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3060 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3061 interfaces to dynamic types.
3064 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3065 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
3066 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

5464 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
5468 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
5469 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
