4 * GObject gained a debug option to provide instance counts. To use it,
5 set GOBJECT_DEBUG=instance-count and call g_type_get_instance_count().
7 * GOption now has a strict POSIX mode in which it stops parsing arguments
8 as soon as a non-option argument is encountered.

352 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
353 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
354 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
355 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

610 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
611 ====================================================
613 * GSettings fixes/improvements
615 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
617 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
618 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
621 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
622 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
625 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
627 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
629 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
632 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
633 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
635 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
637 * Applications/Actions
639 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
640 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
643 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
644 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
646 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
647 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
648 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
649 not itself at fault for the errant call)
653 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
654 accesses that are performed in common situations
656 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
657 are installed/removed
659 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
660 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
662 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
663 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
668 - ignore qualified tags, as above
670 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
671 that test programs don't pick them up
673 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
675 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
676 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
677 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
678 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
680 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
681 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
683 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
684 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
685 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
689 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
691 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
693 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
695 Translations updated:
703 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
704 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
705 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
706 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
707 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
708 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
709 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
710 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
711 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
712 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
713 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
714 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
715 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
716 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
717 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
718 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake

745 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
746 ====================================================
748 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
752 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
754 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
755 them can restart the application with an action (via
760 - new API for launching subprocesses
762 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
764 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
766 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
767 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
769 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
771 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
773 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
774 actions and listing apps and actions
776 - bash tab completion is supported
778 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
780 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
781 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
783 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
786 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
787 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
792 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
794 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
795 class and inotify backend
797 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
798 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
800 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
805 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
806 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
807 when there are invalid schemas installed
809 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
813 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
814 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
816 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
819 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
820 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
821 semantics of the interface in each case
823 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
824 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
826 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
828 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
829 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
830 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
831 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
835 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
838 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
840 * Portability improvements
842 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
844 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
845 actually support it (like Hurd)
847 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
849 * Other small API changes/additions
851 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
852 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
853 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
855 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
857 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
860 * GMainContext/GSource
862 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
864 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
865 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
866 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
867 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
868 broken and should probably be fixed.
870 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
871 require use of a linked list
875 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
876 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
877 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
879 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
883 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
884 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
885 gphoto, archive, at least).
887 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
889 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
892 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
893 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
894 (which shared exactly the same bug)
896 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
898 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
900 * Many documentation improvements
903 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
904 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART

958 What's new in Glib 2.38
959 ========================
961 * Application support
963 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
964 desktop entry specification
966 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
967 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
968 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
970 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
971 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
972 to launch other applications
974 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
975 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
979 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
980 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
981 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
982 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
983 any problems that this may have caused.
985 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
986 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
987 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
988 (allowing memory savings)
990 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
991 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
992 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
994 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
995 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
998 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
999 without destroying one of the objects involved
1003 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1004 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1005 with a finite number of cases
1007 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1008 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1010 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1011 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1012 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1013 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1016 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1020 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1021 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1022 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1024 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1026 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1027 and an API to check them
1029 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1030 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1032 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1033 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1037 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1038 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1039 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1042 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1043 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1044 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1046 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1051 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1052 allow for regexp matching on streams
1054 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1055 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1056 g_variant_new_printf()
1060 - we can now generate TAP output
1062 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1063 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1065 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1070 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1195 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1196 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1197 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1198 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
1200 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
1201 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
1204 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
1206 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
1207 the key was locked down)

1264 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.2 to 2.37.3
1265 ==============================================
1267 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
1269 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
1270 build the unmodified source
1272 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
1274 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
1275 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
1276 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
1283 698375 - D-Bus async properties

1289 ==============================================
1291 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
1292 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
1294 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
1295 and will trigger a warning.

1333 ==============================================
1335 * add support for installed tests:
1336 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
1338 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
1339 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
1341 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
1343 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
1345 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
1346 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
1347 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
1349 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

1381 ==============================================
1383 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1384 and a parser API for them is now provided
1386 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1387 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1388 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1454 the destination file
1456 - fix some 'available since' annotations

1480 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1481 ==============================================
1483 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1484 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1485 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1486 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1540 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1541 ==============================================
1543 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1544 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1545 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1546 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1547 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1551 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1552 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1554 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

1556 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

1558 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
1561 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

1575 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1576 ==============================================
1578 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1580 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1581 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1583 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1584 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1586 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1599 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1600 ==============================================
1602 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1605 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1606 ready at a specified monotonic time
1608 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1610 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

1712 * Translation updates:
1727 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1728 ==============================================
1730 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1731 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1732 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1733 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1734 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1736 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1737 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1738 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1739 particular, are incompatible.
1741 * Bugs fixed in this release:
1742 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

1786 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1787 ==============================================
1789 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1790 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1791 causing regressions in applications.
1793 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1794 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1795 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1798 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1799 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1800 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1802 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1804 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1806 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1808 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1810 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1812 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1814 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1816 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1818 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files

2714 ==============================================
2717 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2718 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2719 to an overridden property
2720 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2721 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2723 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
2724 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

2768 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2769 ==============================================
2771 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2772 moved to GtkApplication.
2774 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2775 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2776 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2777 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2779 * lots of documentation improvements
2781 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2783 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2784 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2786 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2788 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2790 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2792 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2793 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2796 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2797 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2801 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
2802 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

2808 * Translations updated:
2812 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2813 ==============================================
2815 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2816 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2817 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2820 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2821 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2822 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2825 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2826 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2827 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2828 through an idle on the context.
2830 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2831 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2832 fixes here and there.
2834 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2835 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2836 API available outside GLib
2838 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2880 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2881 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2883 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

2902 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2903 =================================================
2905 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2906 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2908 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2909 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2910 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2911 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2912 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2913 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2914 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2915 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2916 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2917 required (and has been deprecated)
2918 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2919 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2920 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2921 without explicit initialisation.
2922 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2923 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2924 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2926 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2927 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2928 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2929 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2930 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2931 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2932 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2934 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2935 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2936 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2937 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2938 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2939 - other implementation details changed
2941 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2942 deprecated/ directory.
2944 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2945 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2946 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2948 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2949 platform over a year ago).
2951 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2952 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2954 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2955 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2957 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2958 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2959 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2960 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2963 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2964 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2967 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2969 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2970 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2972 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2973 in a multi-threaded program
2975 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2976 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2979 - drop -uninstalled variants
2980 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2982 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2983 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2984 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2986 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2988 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2989 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2992 - many code generation updates and improvements
2993 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2996 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2997 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2999 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3001 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3004 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3005 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3007 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3008 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3010 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3012 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3016 * Partial list of bugs closed:
3017 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3443 ==============================================
3445 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3446 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3447 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3448 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3449 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3450 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3452 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3453 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

3510 * Updated translations:
3519 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3520 ==============================================
3523 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3524 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3525 an 'object manager' pattern:
3526 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3527 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3528 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3529 And server-side implementations:
3530 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3531 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3532 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3536 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3540 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3541 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3542 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3543 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3546 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3547 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3550 * Unix-specific APIs:
3551 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3552 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3553 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3554 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3555 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3556 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3587 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3588 ==============================================
3591 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3592 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3593 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3596 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3597 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3598 situations has been improved
3601 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3602 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3605 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3606 match strcmp() semantics
3607 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3608 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3609 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3611 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3612 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3615 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3617 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3619 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3620 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3621 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3898 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
3899 ==============================================
3901 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
3902 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
3907 g_get_monotonic_time
3909 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
3912 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
3914 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

3951 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
3952 - Support environment passing
3955 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
3956 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3958 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3959 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3960 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3964 158725 free linked list with data
3965 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

3977 * Translation updates:
3983 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3984 ==============================================
3986 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3987 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3989 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3990 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3992 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3994 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3996 g_settings_get_range
3997 g_settings_range_check
3998 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4000 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4001 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4003 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4004 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4006 g_main_context_invoke
4007 g_main_context_invoke_full
4009 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4010 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4011 looking for default applications.
4013 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4014 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4015 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4016 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4018 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4019 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4020 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4278 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4279 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4281 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4282 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4283 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4284 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4287 There have been many other improvements, however:
4290 - vastly improved test coverage
4291 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4292 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4293 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

4342 =====================================================
4344 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4345 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4346 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4347 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4348 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4349 | required (and will be along soon). |
4350 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4353 - cleanup automake setup
4354 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4355 - various docs fixups

4410 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4411 =====================================================
4413 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4414 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4415 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4416 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4417 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4420 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4421 -Bsymbolic-functions
4422 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4423 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4424 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4425 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4426 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4429 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4430 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4431 nobody was doing that.
4432 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4434 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4435 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4437 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4438 have a serial number
4439 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4441 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4443 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4444 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4445 has finished running on GDBus services.
4446 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4447 this due to the obvious race)
4448 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4449 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4452 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4453 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4454 arguments and different behaviour
4455 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4456 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4457 strings instead of utf8 strings
4458 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4459 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4460 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4461 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4462 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4463 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4464 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4465 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4466 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4469 - improved documentation
4470 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4471 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4472 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4473 overridden using <override>.
4474 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4476 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4477 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4478 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4479 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4480 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4481 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4482 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4483 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4484 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4485 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4486 being set due to a premature free
4487 - command line tool: bash completion support
4488 - chain up in _finalize
4489 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4491 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4492 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4493 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4495 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4496 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4497 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4498 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4499 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4503 - always intern GBinding prop names
4504 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4505 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4506 - GNode docs improvements
4507 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4508 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4509 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4513 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4514 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4515 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4516 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4517 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4518 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4519 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4520 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4522 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4523 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4524 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4525 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4526 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4527 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4528 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4529 610784 array test failing
4530 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

5223 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5224 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5227 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5228 interfaces to dynamic types.
