1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
2 ==============================================
4 * add support for installed tests:
5 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
7 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
8 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
10 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
12 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
14 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
15 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
16 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
18 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
34 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
35 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance
36 695233 Strings require plural forms

49 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
50 ==============================================
52 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
53 and a parser API for them is now provided
55 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
56 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
57 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

105 * Translation updates:
117 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
118 ==============================================
120 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
122 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
125 - fix some 'available since' annotations
127 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
130 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
131 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
133 * Translations updated:
149 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
150 ==============================================
152 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
153 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
154 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
155 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

179 * Translation updates:
209 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
210 ==============================================
212 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
213 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
214 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
215 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
216 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
220 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
221 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
223 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
224 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
225 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
226 * documentation fixes
227 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
230 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
231 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h
232 692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris
233 693285 GDBusObjectManagerClient: won't emit object-added|removed if name-owner arrives later
234 693502 Cross-compiling documentation: typo (np -> no)
235 693673 add g_dbus_address_escape_value()
236 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends
244 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
245 ==============================================
247 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
249 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
250 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
252 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
253 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
255 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
268 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
269 ==============================================
271 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
274 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
275 ready at a specified monotonic time
277 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
279 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
282 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
283 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

381 * Translation updates:
396 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
397 ==============================================
399 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
400 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
401 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
402 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
403 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
405 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
406 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
407 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
408 particular, are incompatible.
410 * Bugs fixed in this release:
411 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

444 * Translation updates:
455 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
456 ==============================================
458 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
459 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
460 causing regressions in applications.
462 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
463 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
464 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
467 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
468 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
469 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
471 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
473 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
475 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
477 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
479 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
481 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
483 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
485 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
487 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
489 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

539 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
540 ==============================================
542 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
543 give feedback if they cause trouble:
545 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
546 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
548 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
550 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
552 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
554 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
556 * GLib version macros updated
558 * Update to Unicode 6.2
560 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
562 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
564 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
566 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
567 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

1383 ==============================================
1386 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1387 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1388 to an overridden property
1389 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1390 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1392 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1393 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

1437 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1438 ==============================================
1440 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1441 moved to GtkApplication.
1443 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1444 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1445 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1446 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1448 * lots of documentation improvements
1450 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1452 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1453 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1455 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1457 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1459 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1461 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1462 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1465 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1466 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1470 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1471 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
1472 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
1473 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
1474 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1475 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1477 * Translations updated:
1481 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1482 ==============================================
1484 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1485 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1486 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1489 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1490 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1491 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1494 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1495 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1496 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1497 through an idle on the context.
1499 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1500 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1501 fixes here and there.
1503 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1504 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1505 API available outside GLib
1507 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1548 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1549 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1550 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1552 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1555 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1556 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

1568 - various GIO file and stream fixes
1569 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1571 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1572 =================================================
1574 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1575 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1577 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1578 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1579 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1580 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1581 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1582 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1583 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1584 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1585 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1586 required (and has been deprecated)
1587 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1588 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1589 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1590 without explicit initialisation.
1591 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1592 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1593 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1595 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1596 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1597 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1598 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1599 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1600 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1601 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1603 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1604 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1605 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1606 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1607 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1608 - other implementation details changed
1610 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1611 deprecated/ directory.
1613 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1614 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1615 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1617 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1618 platform over a year ago).
1620 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1621 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1623 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1624 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1626 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1627 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1628 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1629 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1632 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1633 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1636 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1638 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1639 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1641 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1642 in a multi-threaded program
1644 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1645 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1648 - drop -uninstalled variants
1649 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1651 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1652 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1653 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1655 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1657 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1658 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1661 - many code generation updates and improvements
1662 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1665 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1666 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1668 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1670 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1673 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1674 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1676 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1677 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1679 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1681 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1685 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1686 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

2112 ==============================================
2114 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2115 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2116 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2117 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2118 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2119 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2121 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2122 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
2124 * Access to quarks is now lockless
2126 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
2128 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

2179 * Updated translations:
2188 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2189 ==============================================
2192 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2193 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2194 an 'object manager' pattern:
2195 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2196 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2197 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2198 And server-side implementations:
2199 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2200 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2201 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2205 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2209 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2210 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2211 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2212 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2215 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2216 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2219 * Unix-specific APIs:
2220 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2221 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2222 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2223 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2224 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2225 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2256 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2257 ==============================================
2260 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2261 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2262 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2265 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2266 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2267 situations has been improved
2270 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2271 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2274 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2275 match strcmp() semantics
2276 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2277 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2278 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2280 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2281 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2284 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2286 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2288 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2289 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2290 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2621 - Support environment passing
2624 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2625 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2627 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2628 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2629 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2633 158725 free linked list with data

2646 * Translation updates:
2652 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2653 ==============================================
2655 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2656 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2658 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2659 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2661 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2663 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2665 g_settings_get_range
2666 g_settings_range_check
2667 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2669 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2670 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2672 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2673 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2675 g_main_context_invoke
2676 g_main_context_invoke_full
2678 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2679 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2680 looking for default applications.
2682 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2683 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2684 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2685 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2687 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2688 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2689 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2948 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2950 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2951 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2952 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2953 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2956 There have been many other improvements, however:
2959 - vastly improved test coverage
2960 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2961 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

3083 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3084 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3085 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3086 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3089 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3090 -Bsymbolic-functions
3091 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3092 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3093 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3094 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3095 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3098 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3099 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3100 nobody was doing that.
3101 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3103 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3104 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3106 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3107 have a serial number
3108 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3110 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3112 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3113 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3114 has finished running on GDBus services.
3115 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3116 this due to the obvious race)
3117 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3118 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3121 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3122 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3123 arguments and different behaviour
3124 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3125 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3126 strings instead of utf8 strings
3127 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3128 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3129 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3130 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3131 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3132 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3133 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3134 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3135 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3138 - improved documentation
3139 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3140 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3141 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3142 overridden using <override>.
3143 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3145 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3146 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3147 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3148 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3149 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3150 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3151 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3152 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3153 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3154 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3155 being set due to a premature free
3156 - command line tool: bash completion support
3157 - chain up in _finalize
3158 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3160 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3161 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3162 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3164 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3165 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3166 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3167 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3168 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3172 - always intern GBinding prop names
3173 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3174 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3175 - GNode docs improvements
3176 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3177 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3178 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3182 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3183 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3184 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3185 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3186 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3187 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3188 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3189 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3191 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3192 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3193 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3194 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3195 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3196 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3197 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

3682 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
3683 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
3684 - The parser will be in a future release.
3687 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)

3882 ===================================================
3885 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3886 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3887 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3888 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3889 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3890 while loading or saving it.
3891 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3892 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3893 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3896 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3897 interfaces to dynamic types.
3900 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3901 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

4621 ===================================================
4623 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
4624 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4625 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4626 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4627 also uses less memory overall.
4629 * Make g_poll available as public api
4631 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4632 that a GError is set or unset
4634 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4636 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4637 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4639 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4640 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

6254 =================================================
6256 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
6257 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
6258 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
6260 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
6261 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
6264 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
6265 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
6266 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
6268 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
6270 * Memory management:
6271 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
6272 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
6273 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
6274 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
6275 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
6276 never worked as intended.
6277 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
6278 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
6279 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
6280 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
6281 efficient and scalable implementation.
6282 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
6285 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
6286 unnecessary recursion.

6291 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
6295 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
6298 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
6299 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
6300 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
6304 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
6305 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
6306 since they are in glib.h
