1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2 ==============================================
4 * Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are
8 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
9 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
12 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
13 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
14 API available outside GLib

50 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
51 ==============================================
53 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
55 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
57 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
58 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
59 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
61 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
64 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
65 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
66 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
69 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
70 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
73 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
76 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
77 - various GIO file and stream fixes
78 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
80 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
81 =================================================
83 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
84 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
86 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
87 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
88 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
89 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
90 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
91 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
92 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
93 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
94 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
95 required (and has been deprecated)
96 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
97 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
98 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
99 without explicit initialisation.
100 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
101 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
102 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
104 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
105 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
106 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
107 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
108 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
109 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
110 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
112 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
113 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
114 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
115 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
116 - GThread is now a refcounted type
117 - other implementation details changed
119 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
120 deprecated/ directory.
122 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
123 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
124 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
126 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
127 platform over a year ago).
129 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
130 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
132 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
133 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
135 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
136 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
137 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
138 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
141 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
142 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
145 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
147 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
148 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
150 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
151 in a multi-threaded program
153 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
154 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
157 - drop -uninstalled variants
158 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
160 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
161 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
162 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
164 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
166 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
167 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
170 - many code generation updates and improvements
171 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
174 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
175 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
177 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
179 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
182 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
183 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
185 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
186 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
188 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
190 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
194 * Partial list of bugs closed:
195 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

620 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
621 ==============================================
623 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
624 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
625 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
626 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
627 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
628 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
630 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
631 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
633 * Access to quarks is now lockless
635 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
637 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
639 * Introspection improvements:
640 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder

688 * Updated translations:
697 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
698 ==============================================
701 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
702 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
703 an 'object manager' pattern:
704 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
705 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
706 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
707 And server-side implementations:
708 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
709 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
710 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
714 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
718 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
719 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
720 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
721 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
724 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
725 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
728 * Unix-specific APIs:
729 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
730 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
731 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
732 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
733 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
734 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
737 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
738 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

742 643134 g_dbus_message_copy
743 644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
744 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
745 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
746 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
747 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
748 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
749 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
750 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
751 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
752 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
753 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
754 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
755 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
756 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
758 * Updated translations
765 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
766 ==============================================
769 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
770 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
771 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
774 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
775 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
776 situations has been improved
779 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
780 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
783 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
784 match strcmp() semantics
785 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
786 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
787 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
789 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
790 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
793 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
795 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
797 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
798 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
799 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1077 ==============================================
1079 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1080 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1085 g_get_monotonic_time
1087 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1090 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1092 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

1125 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
1126 ==============================================
1129 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
1130 - Support environment passing
1133 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1134 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1136 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1137 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1138 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1142 158725 free linked list with data
1143 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

1153 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
1155 * Translation updates:
1161 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1162 ==============================================
1164 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1165 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1167 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1168 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1170 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1172 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1174 g_settings_get_range
1175 g_settings_range_check
1176 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1178 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1179 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1181 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1182 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1184 g_main_context_invoke
1185 g_main_context_invoke_full
1187 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1188 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1189 looking for default applications.
1191 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1192 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1193 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1194 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1196 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1197 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1198 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
1201 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
1202 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality
1203 620710 g_get_user_data_dir() uses CSIDL_PERSONAL and not CSIDL_APPDATA

1453 =====================================================
1455 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1456 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1457 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1459 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1460 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1461 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1462 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1465 There have been many other improvements, however:
1468 - vastly improved test coverage
1469 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1470 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1471 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

1520 =====================================================
1522 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1523 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1524 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1525 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1526 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1527 | required (and will be along soon). |
1528 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1531 - cleanup automake setup
1532 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1533 - various docs fixups
1534 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

1540 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
1541 - add g_settings_reset()
1542 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
1545 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

1551 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
1552 - constness fixes for introspection structures
1553 - clean ups to subtree registration API
1556 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

1560 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
1561 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
1564 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
1565 617483 Credentials passing

1589 =====================================================
1591 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1592 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1593 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1594 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1595 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1598 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1599 -Bsymbolic-functions
1600 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1601 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1602 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1603 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1604 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1607 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1608 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1609 nobody was doing that.
1610 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1612 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1613 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1615 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1616 have a serial number
1617 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1619 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1621 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1622 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1623 has finished running on GDBus services.
1624 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1625 this due to the obvious race)
1626 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1627 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1630 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1631 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1632 arguments and different behaviour
1633 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1634 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1635 strings instead of utf8 strings
1636 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1637 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1638 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1639 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1640 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1641 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1642 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1643 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1644 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1647 - improved documentation
1648 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1649 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1650 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1651 overridden using <override>.
1652 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1654 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1655 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1656 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1657 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1658 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1659 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1660 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1661 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1662 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1663 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1664 being set due to a premature free
1665 - command line tool: bash completion support
1666 - chain up in _finalize
1667 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1669 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1670 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1671 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1673 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1674 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1675 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1676 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
1677 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
1681 - always intern GBinding prop names
1682 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
1683 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1684 - GNode docs improvements
1685 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
1686 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1687 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
1691 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
1692 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
1693 - improved tests for GKeyfile
1694 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
1695 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
1696 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
1697 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
1698 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
1700 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
1701 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
1702 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1703 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
1704 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
1705 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
1706 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

2391 ===================================================
2394 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
2395 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
2396 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
2397 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
2398 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
2399 while loading or saving it.
2400 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
2401 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2402 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2405 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2406 interfaces to dynamic types.
2409 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
2410 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
2411 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
