1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2 =================================================
4 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
8 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
9 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
10 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
11 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
12 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
13 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
14 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
15 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
16 required (and has been deprecated)
17 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
18 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
19 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
20 without explicit initialisation.
21 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
22 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
23 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
25 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
26 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
27 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
28 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
29 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
30 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
31 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
33 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
34 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
35 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
36 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
37 - GThread is now a refcounted type
38 - other implementation details changed
40 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
41 deprecated/ directory.
43 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
44 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
45 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
47 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
48 platform over a year ago).
50 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
51 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
53 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
54 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
56 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
57 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
58 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
59 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
62 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
63 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
66 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
68 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
69 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
71 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
72 in a multi-threaded program
74 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
75 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
78 - drop -uninstalled variants
79 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
81 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
82 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
83 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
85 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
87 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
88 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
91 - many code generation updates and improvements
92 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
95 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
96 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
98 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
100 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
103 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
104 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
106 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
107 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
109 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
111 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
115 * Partial list of bugs closed:

531 * Translation updates:
541 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
542 ==============================================
544 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
545 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
546 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
547 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
548 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
549 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
551 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
552 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
554 * Access to quarks is now lockless
556 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
558 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
560 * Introspection improvements:

618 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
619 ==============================================
622 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
623 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
624 an 'object manager' pattern:
625 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
626 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
627 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
628 And server-side implementations:
629 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
630 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
631 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
635 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
639 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
640 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
641 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
642 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
645 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
646 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
649 * Unix-specific APIs:
650 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
651 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
652 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
653 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
654 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
655 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

679 * Updated translations
686 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
687 ==============================================
690 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
691 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
692 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
695 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
696 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
697 situations has been improved
700 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
701 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
704 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
705 match strcmp() semantics
706 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
707 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
708 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
710 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
711 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
714 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
716 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
718 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
719 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
720 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

998 ==============================================
1000 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1001 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1006 g_get_monotonic_time
1008 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1011 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1013 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
1015 g_simple_async_result_take_error
1016 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
1017 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
1019 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
1022 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
1023 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
1024 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
1026 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
1027 g_get_user_runtime_dir

1050 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
1051 - Support environment passing
1054 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1055 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1057 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1058 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1059 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1063 158725 free linked list with data

1076 * Translation updates:
1082 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1083 ==============================================
1085 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1086 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1088 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1089 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1091 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1093 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1095 g_settings_get_range
1096 g_settings_range_check
1097 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1099 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1100 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1102 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1103 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1105 g_main_context_invoke
1106 g_main_context_invoke_full
1108 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1109 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1110 looking for default applications.
1112 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1113 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1114 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1115 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1117 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1118 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1119 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1377 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1378 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1380 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1381 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1382 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1383 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1386 There have been many other improvements, however:
1389 - vastly improved test coverage
1390 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1391 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1392 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
1395 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

1440 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
1441 =====================================================
1443 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1444 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1445 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1446 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1447 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1448 | required (and will be along soon). |
1449 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1452 - cleanup automake setup
1453 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1454 - various docs fixups
1455 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

1471 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
1472 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
1473 - constness fixes for introspection structures
1474 - clean ups to subtree registration API
1477 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

1509 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
1510 =====================================================
1512 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1513 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1514 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1515 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1516 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1519 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1520 -Bsymbolic-functions
1521 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1522 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1523 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1524 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1525 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1528 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1529 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1530 nobody was doing that.
1531 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1533 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1534 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1536 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1537 have a serial number
1538 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1540 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1542 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1543 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1544 has finished running on GDBus services.
1545 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1546 this due to the obvious race)
1547 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1548 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1551 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1552 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1553 arguments and different behaviour
1554 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1555 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1556 strings instead of utf8 strings
1557 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1558 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1559 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1560 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1561 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1562 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1563 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1564 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1565 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1568 - improved documentation
1569 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1570 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1571 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1572 overridden using <override>.
1573 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1575 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1576 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1577 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1578 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1579 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1580 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1581 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1582 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1583 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1584 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1585 being set due to a premature free
1586 - command line tool: bash completion support
1587 - chain up in _finalize
1588 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1590 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1591 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1592 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1594 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1595 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1596 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1597 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
1598 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
1602 - always intern GBinding prop names
1603 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
1604 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1605 - GNode docs improvements
1606 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
1607 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1608 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
1612 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
1613 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
1614 - improved tests for GKeyfile
1615 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
1616 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
1617 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
1618 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
1619 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
1621 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
1622 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
1623 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1624 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
1625 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
1626 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
1627 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
1628 610784 array test failing

1631 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
1632 622124 implement flags

3054 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

3057 also uses less memory overall.
