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

511 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
512 ====================================================
514 * GSettings fixes/improvements
516 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
518 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
519 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
522 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
523 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
526 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
528 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
530 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
533 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
534 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
536 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
538 * Applications/Actions
540 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
541 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
544 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
545 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
547 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
548 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
549 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
550 not itself at fault for the errant call)
554 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
555 accesses that are performed in common situations
557 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
558 are installed/removed
560 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
561 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
563 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
564 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
569 - ignore qualified tags, as above
571 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
572 that test programs don't pick them up
574 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
576 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
577 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
578 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
579 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
581 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
582 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
584 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
585 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
586 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
590 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
592 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
594 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

646 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
647 ====================================================
649 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
653 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
655 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
656 them can restart the application with an action (via
661 - new API for launching subprocesses
663 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
665 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
667 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
668 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
670 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
672 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
674 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
675 actions and listing apps and actions
677 - bash tab completion is supported
679 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
681 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
682 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
684 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
687 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
688 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
693 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
695 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
696 class and inotify backend
698 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
699 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
701 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
706 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
707 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
708 when there are invalid schemas installed
710 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
714 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
715 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
717 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
720 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
721 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
722 semantics of the interface in each case
724 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
725 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
727 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
729 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
730 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
731 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
732 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
736 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
739 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
741 * Portability improvements
743 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
745 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
746 actually support it (like Hurd)
748 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
750 * Other small API changes/additions
752 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
753 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
754 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
756 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
758 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
761 * GMainContext/GSource
763 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
765 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
766 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
767 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
768 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
769 broken and should probably be fixed.
771 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
772 require use of a linked list
776 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
777 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
778 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
780 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
784 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
785 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
786 gphoto, archive, at least).
788 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
790 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
793 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
794 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
795 (which shared exactly the same bug)
797 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
799 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
801 * Many documentation improvements
804 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
805 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART

859 What's new in Glib 2.38
860 ========================
862 * Application support
864 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
865 desktop entry specification
867 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
868 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
869 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
871 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
872 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
873 to launch other applications
875 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
876 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
880 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
881 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
882 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
883 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
884 any problems that this may have caused.
886 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
887 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
888 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
889 (allowing memory savings)
891 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
892 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
893 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
895 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
896 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
899 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
900 without destroying one of the objects involved
904 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
905 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
906 with a finite number of cases
908 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
909 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
911 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
912 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
913 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
914 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
917 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
921 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
922 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
923 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
925 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
927 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
928 and an API to check them
930 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
931 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
933 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
934 with most functions, but this is not recommended
938 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
939 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
940 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
943 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
944 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
945 particular directory (akin to 'du').
947 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
952 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
953 allow for regexp matching on streams
955 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
956 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
957 g_variant_new_printf()
961 - we can now generate TAP output
963 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
964 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
966 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
971 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1098 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1099 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

1233 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
1234 ==============================================
1236 * add support for installed tests:
1237 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
1239 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
1240 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
1242 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
1244 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
1246 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
1247 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
1248 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
1250 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
1266 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
1267 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance
1268 695233 Strings require plural forms

1281 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
1282 ==============================================
1284 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1285 and a parser API for them is now provided
1287 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1288 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1289 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1349 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1350 ==============================================
1352 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1354 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1355 the destination file
1357 - fix some 'available since' annotations
1359 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

1365 * Translations updated:
1381 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1382 ==============================================
1384 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1385 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1386 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1387 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1441 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1442 ==============================================
1444 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1445 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1446 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1447 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1448 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1452 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1453 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

1476 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1477 ==============================================
1479 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1481 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1482 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1484 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1485 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1487 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1500 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1501 ==============================================
1503 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1506 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1507 ready at a specified monotonic time
1509 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1511 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
1514 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
1515 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

1628 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1629 ==============================================
1631 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1632 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1633 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1634 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1635 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1637 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1638 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1639 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1640 particular, are incompatible.
1642 * Bugs fixed in this release:

1687 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1688 ==============================================
1690 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1691 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1692 causing regressions in applications.
1694 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1695 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1696 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1699 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1700 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1701 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1703 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1705 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1707 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1709 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1711 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1713 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1715 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1717 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1719 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1721 * Many other docs and annotations fixes
1734 649302 Add support for GNU/FreeBSD

1771 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
1772 ==============================================
1774 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1775 give feedback if they cause trouble:
1777 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
1778 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
1780 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
1782 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
1784 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
1786 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
1788 * GLib version macros updated
1790 * Update to Unicode 6.2
1792 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts

2465 changed properties even if the propertychanged signal
2466 does not contain the new values.
2468 * GApplication puts non-unique applications on the bus
2470 * GApplication now has g_application_quit()
2472 * g_async_queue_timed_pop has been deprecated in favor of
2473 the new g_async_queue_timeout_pop, which uses relative
2474 delays in microseconds instead of a GTimeVal.
2476 * a huge number of API documentation fixes

2615 ==============================================
2618 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2619 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2620 to an overridden property
2621 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2622 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2624 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
2625 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
2627 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

2669 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2670 ==============================================
2672 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2673 moved to GtkApplication.
2675 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2676 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2677 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2678 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2680 * lots of documentation improvements
2682 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2684 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2685 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2687 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2689 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2691 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2693 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2694 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2697 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2698 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2702 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
2703 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

2705 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
2706 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
2707 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
2709 * Translations updated:
2713 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2714 ==============================================
2716 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2717 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2718 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2721 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2722 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2723 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2726 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2727 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2728 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2729 through an idle on the context.
2731 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2732 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2733 fixes here and there.
2735 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2736 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2737 API available outside GLib
2739 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2780 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
2781 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2782 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2784 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
2787 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
2788 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
2789 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
2792 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
2793 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

2800 - various GIO file and stream fixes
2801 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
2803 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2804 =================================================
2806 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2807 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2809 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2810 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2811 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2812 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2813 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2814 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2815 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2816 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2817 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2818 required (and has been deprecated)
2819 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2820 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2821 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2822 without explicit initialisation.
2823 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2824 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2825 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2827 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2828 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2829 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2830 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2831 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2832 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2833 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2835 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2836 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2837 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2838 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2839 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2840 - other implementation details changed
2842 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2843 deprecated/ directory.
2845 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2846 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2847 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2849 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2850 platform over a year ago).
2852 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2853 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2855 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2856 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2858 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2859 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2860 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2861 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2864 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2865 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2868 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2870 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2871 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2873 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2874 in a multi-threaded program
2876 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2877 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2880 - drop -uninstalled variants
2881 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2883 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2884 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2885 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2887 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2889 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2890 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2893 - many code generation updates and improvements
2894 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2897 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2898 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2900 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2902 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2905 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2906 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2908 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2909 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2911 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2913 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
2917 * Partial list of bugs closed:
2918 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3344 ==============================================
3346 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3347 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3348 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3349 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3350 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3351 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3353 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3354 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3356 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3358 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

3411 * Updated translations:
3420 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3421 ==============================================
3424 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3425 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3426 an 'object manager' pattern:
3427 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3428 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3429 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3430 And server-side implementations:
3431 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3432 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3433 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3437 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3441 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3442 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3443 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3444 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3447 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3448 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3451 * Unix-specific APIs:
3452 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3453 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3454 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3455 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3456 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3457 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3481 * Updated translations
3488 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3489 ==============================================
3492 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3493 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3494 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3497 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3498 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3499 situations has been improved
3502 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3503 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3506 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3507 match strcmp() semantics
3508 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3509 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3510 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3512 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3513 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3516 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3518 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3520 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3521 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3522 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3853 - Support environment passing
3856 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
3857 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3859 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3860 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3861 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3865 158725 free linked list with data

3878 * Translation updates:
3884 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3885 ==============================================
3887 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3888 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3890 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3891 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3893 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3895 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3897 g_settings_get_range
3898 g_settings_range_check
3899 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3901 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3902 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3904 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3905 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3907 g_main_context_invoke
3908 g_main_context_invoke_full
3910 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3911 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3912 looking for default applications.
3914 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3915 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3916 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3917 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3919 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3920 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3921 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4179 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4180 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4182 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4183 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4184 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4185 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4188 There have been many other improvements, however:
4191 - vastly improved test coverage
4192 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4193 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4194 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
4197 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
4200 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
4201 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
4202 - improve debug output, add some extra options
4203 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
4205 - sort property names correctly
4206 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
4208 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
4211 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
4212 without mapping functions
4213 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
4216 - improve closure support for bindings
4217 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
4220 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
4223 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config

4242 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
4243 =====================================================
4245 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4246 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4247 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4248 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4249 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4250 | required (and will be along soon). |
4251 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4254 - cleanup automake setup
4255 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4256 - various docs fixups
4257 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
4258 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
4261 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
4263 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
4264 - add g_settings_reset()
4265 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
4268 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
4269 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
4270 - proper support for file descriptor passing
4271 - new flags parameter for sending messages
4272 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
4273 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
4274 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
4275 - constness fixes for introspection structures
4276 - clean ups to subtree registration API
4279 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
4280 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
4281 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
4282 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
4283 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
4284 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
4287 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
4288 617483 Credentials passing
4289 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property
4290 623293 vendor override files
4291 623810 Message serialization bug
4292 623815 Don't check sender for GDBusProxy objects where name is not set
4293 624473 GDBusSubtreeIntrospectFunc return type

4311 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4312 =====================================================
4314 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4315 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4316 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4317 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4318 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4321 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4322 -Bsymbolic-functions
4323 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4324 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4325 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4326 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4327 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4330 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4331 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4332 nobody was doing that.
4333 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4335 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4336 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4338 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4339 have a serial number
4340 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4342 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4344 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4345 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4346 has finished running on GDBus services.
4347 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4348 this due to the obvious race)
4349 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4350 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4353 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4354 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4355 arguments and different behaviour
4356 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4357 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4358 strings instead of utf8 strings
4359 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4360 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4361 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4362 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4363 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4364 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4365 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4366 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4367 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4370 - improved documentation
4371 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4372 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4373 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4374 overridden using <override>.
4375 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4377 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4378 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4379 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4380 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4381 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4382 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4383 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4384 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4385 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4386 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4387 being set due to a premature free
4388 - command line tool: bash completion support
4389 - chain up in _finalize
4390 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4392 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4393 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4394 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4396 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4397 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4398 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4399 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4400 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4404 - always intern GBinding prop names
4405 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4406 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4407 - GNode docs improvements
4408 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4409 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4410 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4414 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4415 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4416 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4417 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4418 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4419 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4420 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4421 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4423 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4424 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4425 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4426 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4427 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4428 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4429 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4430 610784 array test failing
4431 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4432 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
4433 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
4434 622124 implement flags

4446 623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"
4447 623473 zlib should be checked with pkg-config
4448 623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
4449 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
4450 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty

5030 * Threading changes:
5031 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
5032 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
5034 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
5035 when g_type_init() is called.

5114 ===================================================
5117 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
5118 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
5119 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
5120 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
5121 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
5122 while loading or saving it.
5123 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
5124 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5125 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5128 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5129 interfaces to dynamic types.
5132 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

5856 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

5859 also uses less memory overall.

5868 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
5869 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
5871 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

7532 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
7536 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
7537 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
