286 * Updated translations:
295 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
296 ==============================================
299 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
300 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
301 an 'object manager' pattern:
302 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
303 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
304 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
305 And server-side implementations:
306 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
307 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
308 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
312 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
316 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
317 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
318 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
319 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
322 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
323 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
326 * Unix-specific APIs:
327 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
328 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
329 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
330 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
331 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
332 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

363 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
364 ==============================================
367 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
368 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
369 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
372 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
373 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
374 situations has been improved
377 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
378 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
381 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
382 match strcmp() semantics
383 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
384 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
385 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
387 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
388 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
391 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
393 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
395 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
396 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
397 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

674 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
675 ==============================================
677 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
678 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
685 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
688 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally

727 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
728 - Support environment passing
731 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
732 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
734 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
735 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
736 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
740 158725 free linked list with data

759 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
760 ==============================================
762 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
763 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
765 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
766 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
768 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
770 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
773 g_settings_range_check
774 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
776 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
777 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
779 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
780 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
782 g_main_context_invoke
783 g_main_context_invoke_full
785 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
786 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
787 looking for default applications.
789 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
790 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
791 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
792 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
794 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
795 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
796 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1053 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1054 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1055 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1057 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1058 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1059 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1060 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1063 There have been many other improvements, however:
1066 - vastly improved test coverage
1067 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1068 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1069 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
1072 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
1075 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
1076 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage

1078 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
1080 - sort property names correctly
1081 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
1083 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing

1087 without mapping functions
1088 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
1091 - improve closure support for bindings
1092 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
1095 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

1118 =====================================================
1120 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1121 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1122 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1123 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1124 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1125 | required (and will be along soon). |
1126 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1129 - cleanup automake setup
1130 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1131 - various docs fixups
1132 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

1186 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
1187 =====================================================
1189 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1190 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1191 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1192 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1193 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1196 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1197 -Bsymbolic-functions
1198 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1199 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1200 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1201 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1202 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1205 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1206 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1207 nobody was doing that.
1208 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1210 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1211 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1213 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1214 have a serial number
1215 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1217 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1219 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1220 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1221 has finished running on GDBus services.
1222 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1223 this due to the obvious race)
1224 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1225 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1228 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1229 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1230 arguments and different behaviour
1231 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1232 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1233 strings instead of utf8 strings
1234 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1235 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1236 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1237 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1238 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1239 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1240 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1241 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1242 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1245 - improved documentation
1246 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1247 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1248 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1249 overridden using <override>.
1250 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1252 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1253 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1254 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1255 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1256 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1257 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1258 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1259 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1260 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1261 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1262 being set due to a premature free
1263 - command line tool: bash completion support
1264 - chain up in _finalize

1992 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1993 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1994 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1995 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1996 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1997 while loading or saving it.
1998 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1999 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2000 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2003 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2004 interfaces to dynamic types.
2007 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

2727 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
2728 ===================================================
2730 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2731 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2732 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
2733 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
2734 also uses less memory overall.
2736 * Make g_poll available as public api
2738 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2739 that a GError is set or unset
2741 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2743 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2744 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2746 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2747 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

4361 =================================================
4363 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
4364 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
4365 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
4367 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
4368 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
4371 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
4372 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
4373 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
4375 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
4377 * Memory management:
4378 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
4379 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
4380 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
4381 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
4382 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
4383 never worked as intended.
4384 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
4385 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
4386 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
4387 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
4388 efficient and scalable implementation.
4389 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
4392 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
4393 unnecessary recursion.
4396 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
4397 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
4398 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
4402 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
4405 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
4406 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
4407 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
4411 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
4412 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
4413 since they are in glib.h
