49 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
50 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
51 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
52 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

124 build the unmodified source
126 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
128 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
129 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation

232 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
234 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
235 ==============================================
237 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
238 and a parser API for them is now provided
240 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
241 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
242 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
244 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

290 * Translation updates:
302 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
303 ==============================================
305 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
307 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
310 - fix some 'available since' annotations
312 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
315 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
316 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
318 * Translations updated:
334 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
335 ==============================================
337 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
338 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
339 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
340 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

364 * Translation updates:
394 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
395 ==============================================
397 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
398 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
399 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
400 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
401 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
405 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
406 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
408 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
409 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
410 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
411 * documentation fixes
412 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
415 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

421 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends
429 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
430 ==============================================
432 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
434 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
435 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
437 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
438 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
440 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
453 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
454 ==============================================
456 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
459 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
460 ready at a specified monotonic time
462 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
464 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
467 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
468 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

566 * Translation updates:
581 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
582 ==============================================
584 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
585 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
586 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
587 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
588 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
590 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
591 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
592 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
593 particular, are incompatible.
595 * Bugs fixed in this release:
596 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

640 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
641 ==============================================
643 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
644 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
645 causing regressions in applications.
647 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
648 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
649 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
652 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
653 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
654 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
656 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
658 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
660 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
662 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
664 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
666 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
668 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
670 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
672 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
674 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

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

1571 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1572 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1573 to an overridden property
1574 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1575 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

1622 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1623 ==============================================
1625 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1626 moved to GtkApplication.
1628 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1629 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1630 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1631 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1633 * lots of documentation improvements
1635 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1637 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1638 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1640 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1642 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1644 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1646 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1647 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1650 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1651 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1655 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1656 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

1659 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1660 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1662 * Translations updated:
1666 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1667 ==============================================
1669 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1670 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1671 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1674 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1675 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1676 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1679 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1680 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1681 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1682 through an idle on the context.
1684 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1685 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1686 fixes here and there.
1688 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1689 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1690 API available outside GLib
1692 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1734 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1735 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1737 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1740 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1741 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

1756 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1757 =================================================
1759 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1760 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1762 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1763 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1764 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1765 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1766 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1767 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1768 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1769 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1770 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1771 required (and has been deprecated)
1772 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1773 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1774 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1775 without explicit initialisation.
1776 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1777 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1778 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1780 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1781 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1782 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1783 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1784 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1785 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1786 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1788 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1789 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1790 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1791 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1792 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1793 - other implementation details changed
1795 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1796 deprecated/ directory.
1798 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1799 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1800 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1802 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1803 platform over a year ago).
1805 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1806 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1808 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1809 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1811 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1812 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1813 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1814 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1817 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1818 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1821 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1823 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1824 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1826 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1827 in a multi-threaded program
1829 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1830 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1833 - drop -uninstalled variants
1834 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1836 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1837 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1838 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1840 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1842 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1843 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1846 - many code generation updates and improvements
1847 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1850 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1851 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1853 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1855 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1858 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1859 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1861 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1862 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1864 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1866 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1870 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1871 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.
1872 320888 optimization for g_main_context_wakeup

2297 ==============================================
2299 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2300 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2301 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2302 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2303 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2304 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2306 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2307 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

2364 * Updated translations:
2373 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2374 ==============================================
2377 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2378 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2379 an 'object manager' pattern:
2380 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2381 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2382 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2383 And server-side implementations:
2384 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2385 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2386 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2390 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2394 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2395 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2396 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2397 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2400 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2401 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2404 * Unix-specific APIs:
2405 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2406 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2407 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2408 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2409 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2410 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2441 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2442 ==============================================
2445 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2446 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2447 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2450 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2451 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2452 situations has been improved
2455 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2456 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2459 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2460 match strcmp() semantics
2461 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2462 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2463 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2465 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2466 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2469 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2471 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2473 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2474 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2475 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2717 that starts with a dot
2718 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended

2753 ==============================================
2755 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2756 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2761 g_get_monotonic_time
2763 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2766 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2768 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2770 g_simple_async_result_take_error

2806 - Support environment passing
2809 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2810 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2812 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2813 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2814 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2818 158725 free linked list with data

2831 * Translation updates:
2837 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2838 ==============================================
2840 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2841 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2843 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2844 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2846 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2848 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2850 g_settings_get_range
2851 g_settings_range_check
2852 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2854 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2855 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2857 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2858 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2860 g_main_context_invoke
2861 g_main_context_invoke_full
2863 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2864 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2865 looking for default applications.
2867 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2868 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2869 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2870 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2872 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2873 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2874 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3132 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3133 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3135 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3136 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3137 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3138 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3141 There have been many other improvements, however:
3144 - vastly improved test coverage
3145 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3146 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3147 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

3196 =====================================================
3198 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3199 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3200 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3201 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3202 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3203 | required (and will be along soon). |
3204 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3207 - cleanup automake setup
3208 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
3209 - various docs fixups

3228 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3229 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3232 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

3264 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3265 =====================================================
3267 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3268 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3269 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3270 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3271 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3274 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3275 -Bsymbolic-functions
3276 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3277 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3278 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3279 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3280 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3283 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3284 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3285 nobody was doing that.
3286 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3288 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3289 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3291 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3292 have a serial number
3293 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3295 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3297 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3298 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3299 has finished running on GDBus services.
3300 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3301 this due to the obvious race)
3302 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3303 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3306 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3307 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3308 arguments and different behaviour
3309 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3310 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3311 strings instead of utf8 strings
3312 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3313 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3314 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3315 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3316 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3317 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3318 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3319 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3320 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3323 - improved documentation
3324 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3325 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3326 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3327 overridden using <override>.
3328 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3330 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3331 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3332 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3333 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3334 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3335 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3336 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3337 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3338 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3339 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3340 being set due to a premature free
3341 - command line tool: bash completion support
3342 - chain up in _finalize
3343 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3345 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3346 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3347 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3349 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3350 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3351 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3352 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3353 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3357 - always intern GBinding prop names
3358 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3359 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3360 - GNode docs improvements
3361 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3362 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3363 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3367 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3368 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3369 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3370 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3371 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3372 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3373 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3374 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3376 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3377 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3378 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3379 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3380 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3381 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3382 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3383 610784 array test failing
3384 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3385 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

3398 623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
3399 623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"

4077 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4078 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4081 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4082 interfaces to dynamic types.

4821 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4822 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4824 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
