1 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2 ==============================================
4 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5 and a parser API for them is now provided
7 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
8 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
9 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
11 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library
13 * GIcon can now be serialized to a GVariant

57 * Translation updates:
69 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
70 ==============================================
72 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
74 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
77 - fix some 'available since' annotations
79 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
82 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
83 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
85 * Translations updated:
101 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
102 ==============================================
104 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
105 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
106 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
107 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

131 * Translation updates:
161 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
162 ==============================================
164 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
165 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
166 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
167 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
168 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
172 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
173 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
175 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
176 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
177 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
178 * documentation fixes
179 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
182 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

187 693673 add g_dbus_address_escape_value()
188 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends
196 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
197 ==============================================
199 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
201 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
202 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
204 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
205 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
207 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
220 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
221 ==============================================
223 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
226 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
227 ready at a specified monotonic time
229 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
231 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
234 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
235 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

333 * Translation updates:
348 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
349 ==============================================
351 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
352 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
353 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
354 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
355 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
357 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
358 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
359 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
360 particular, are incompatible.
362 * Bugs fixed in this release:
363 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

396 * Translation updates:
407 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
408 ==============================================
410 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
411 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
412 causing regressions in applications.
414 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
415 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
416 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
419 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
420 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
421 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
423 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
425 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
427 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
429 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
431 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
433 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
435 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
437 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
439 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
441 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

491 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
492 ==============================================
494 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
495 give feedback if they cause trouble:
497 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
498 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
500 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
502 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

1335 ==============================================
1338 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1339 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1340 to an overridden property
1341 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1342 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1344 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1345 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
1347 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

1389 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1390 ==============================================
1392 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1393 moved to GtkApplication.
1395 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1396 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1397 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1398 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1400 * lots of documentation improvements
1402 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1404 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1405 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1407 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1409 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1411 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1413 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1414 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1417 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1418 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1422 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1423 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

1429 * Translations updated:
1433 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1434 ==============================================
1436 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1437 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1438 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1441 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1442 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1443 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1446 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1447 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1448 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1449 through an idle on the context.
1451 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1452 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1453 fixes here and there.
1455 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1456 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1457 API available outside GLib
1459 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1501 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1502 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1504 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1507 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1508 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

1523 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1524 =================================================
1526 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1527 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1529 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1530 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1531 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1532 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1533 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1534 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1535 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1536 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1537 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1538 required (and has been deprecated)
1539 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1540 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1541 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1542 without explicit initialisation.
1543 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1544 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1545 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1547 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1548 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1549 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1550 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1551 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1552 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1553 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1555 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1556 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1557 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1558 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1559 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1560 - other implementation details changed
1562 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1563 deprecated/ directory.
1565 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1566 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1567 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1569 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1570 platform over a year ago).
1572 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1573 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1575 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1576 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1578 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1579 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1580 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1581 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1584 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1585 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1588 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1590 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1591 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1593 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1594 in a multi-threaded program
1596 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1597 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1600 - drop -uninstalled variants
1601 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1603 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1604 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1605 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1607 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1609 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1610 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1613 - many code generation updates and improvements
1614 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1617 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1618 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1620 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1622 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1625 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1626 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1628 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1629 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1631 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1633 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1637 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1638 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

2064 ==============================================
2066 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2067 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2068 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2069 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2070 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2071 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2073 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2074 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
2076 * Access to quarks is now lockless
2078 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

2131 * Updated translations:
2140 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2141 ==============================================
2144 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2145 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2146 an 'object manager' pattern:
2147 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2148 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2149 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2150 And server-side implementations:
2151 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2152 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2153 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2157 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2161 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2162 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2163 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2164 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2167 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2168 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2171 * Unix-specific APIs:
2172 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2173 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2174 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2175 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2176 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2177 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2201 * Updated translations
2208 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2209 ==============================================
2212 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2213 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2214 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2217 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2218 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2219 situations has been improved
2222 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2223 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2226 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2227 match strcmp() semantics
2228 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2229 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2230 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2232 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2233 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2236 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2238 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2240 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2241 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2242 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2520 ==============================================
2522 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2523 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2528 g_get_monotonic_time
2530 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2533 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2535 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2537 g_simple_async_result_take_error

2568 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
2569 ==============================================
2572 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2573 - Support environment passing
2576 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2577 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2579 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2580 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2581 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2585 158725 free linked list with data
2586 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
2587 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

2596 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
2598 * Translation updates:
2604 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2605 ==============================================
2607 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2608 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2610 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2611 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2613 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2615 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2617 g_settings_get_range
2618 g_settings_range_check
2619 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2621 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2622 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2624 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2625 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2627 g_main_context_invoke
2628 g_main_context_invoke_full
2630 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2631 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2632 looking for default applications.
2634 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2635 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2636 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2637 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2639 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2640 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2641 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2896 =====================================================
2898 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2899 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2900 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2902 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2903 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2904 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2905 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2908 There have been many other improvements, however:
2911 - vastly improved test coverage
2912 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2913 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2914 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2932 without mapping functions
2933 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
2936 - improve closure support for bindings
2937 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

2963 =====================================================
2965 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2966 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2967 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2968 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2969 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2970 | required (and will be along soon). |
2971 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2974 - cleanup automake setup
2975 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2976 - various docs fixups
2977 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
2978 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
2981 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
2983 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
2984 - add g_settings_reset()
2985 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2988 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
2989 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
2990 - proper support for file descriptor passing
2991 - new flags parameter for sending messages
2992 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
2993 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2994 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2995 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2996 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2999 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
3000 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
3001 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
3002 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
3003 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
3004 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
3007 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
3008 617483 Credentials passing

3032 =====================================================
3034 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3035 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3036 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3037 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3038 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3041 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3042 -Bsymbolic-functions
3043 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3044 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3045 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3046 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3047 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3050 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3051 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3052 nobody was doing that.
3053 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3055 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3056 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3058 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3059 have a serial number
3060 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3062 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3064 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3065 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3066 has finished running on GDBus services.
3067 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3068 this due to the obvious race)
3069 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3070 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3073 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3074 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3075 arguments and different behaviour
3076 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3077 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3078 strings instead of utf8 strings
3079 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3080 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3081 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised

3092 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3093 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3094 overridden using <override>.
3095 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3097 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3098 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3099 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3100 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3101 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3102 enums and flags in the specified .h files.

3110 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3112 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3113 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3114 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3116 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3117 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3118 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference

3120 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3124 - always intern GBinding prop names

3837 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3838 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3839 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3840 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3841 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3842 while loading or saving it.
3843 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3844 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3845 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3848 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3849 interfaces to dynamic types.
3852 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3853 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

4573 ===================================================
4575 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
4576 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4577 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4578 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4579 also uses less memory overall.
4581 * Make g_poll available as public api
4583 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4584 that a GError is set or unset
4586 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4588 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4589 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4591 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4592 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
