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

482 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
483 ====================================================
485 * GSettings fixes/improvements
487 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
489 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
490 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
493 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
494 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
497 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
499 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
501 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
504 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
505 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
507 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
509 * Applications/Actions
511 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
512 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
515 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
516 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
518 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
519 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
520 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
521 not itself at fault for the errant call)
525 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
526 accesses that are performed in common situations
528 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
529 are installed/removed
531 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
532 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
534 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
535 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
540 - ignore qualified tags, as above
542 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
543 that test programs don't pick them up
545 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
547 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
548 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
549 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
550 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
552 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
553 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
555 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
556 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
557 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
561 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
563 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
565 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

617 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
618 ====================================================
620 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
624 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
626 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
627 them can restart the application with an action (via
632 - new API for launching subprocesses
634 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
636 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
638 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
639 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
641 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
643 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
645 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
646 actions and listing apps and actions
648 - bash tab completion is supported
650 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
652 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
653 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
655 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
658 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
659 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
664 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
666 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
667 class and inotify backend
669 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
670 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
672 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
677 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
678 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
679 when there are invalid schemas installed
681 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
685 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
686 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
688 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
691 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
692 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
693 semantics of the interface in each case
695 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
696 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
698 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
700 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
701 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
702 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
703 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
707 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
710 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
712 * Portability improvements
714 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
716 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
717 actually support it (like Hurd)
719 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
721 * Other small API changes/additions
723 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
724 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
725 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
727 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
729 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
732 * GMainContext/GSource
734 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
736 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
737 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
738 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
739 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
740 broken and should probably be fixed.
742 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
743 require use of a linked list
747 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
748 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
749 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
751 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
755 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
756 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
757 gphoto, archive, at least).
759 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
761 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
764 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
765 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
766 (which shared exactly the same bug)
768 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
770 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
772 * Many documentation improvements
775 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
776 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
777 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

820 710726 Work around D-Bus bug with path_namespace='/' match rules
830 What's new in Glib 2.38
831 ========================
833 * Application support
835 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
836 desktop entry specification
838 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
839 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
840 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
842 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
843 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
844 to launch other applications
846 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
847 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
851 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
852 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
853 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
854 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
855 any problems that this may have caused.
857 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
858 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
859 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
860 (allowing memory savings)
862 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
863 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
864 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
866 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
867 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
870 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
871 without destroying one of the objects involved
875 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
876 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
877 with a finite number of cases
879 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
880 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
882 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
883 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
884 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
885 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
888 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
892 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
893 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
894 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
896 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
898 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
899 and an API to check them
901 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
902 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
904 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
905 with most functions, but this is not recommended
909 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
910 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
911 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
914 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
915 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
916 particular directory (akin to 'du').
918 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
923 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
924 allow for regexp matching on streams
926 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
927 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
928 g_variant_new_printf()
932 - we can now generate TAP output
934 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
935 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
937 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
942 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1069 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1070 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

1204 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
1205 ==============================================
1207 * add support for installed tests:
1208 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
1210 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
1211 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
1213 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
1215 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
1217 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
1218 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
1219 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
1221 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
1237 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
1238 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance
1239 695233 Strings require plural forms

1250 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
1252 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
1253 ==============================================
1255 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1256 and a parser API for them is now provided
1258 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1259 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1260 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1308 * Translation updates:
1320 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1321 ==============================================
1323 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1325 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1326 the destination file
1328 - fix some 'available since' annotations
1330 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
1333 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

1336 * Translations updated:
1352 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1353 ==============================================
1355 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1356 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1357 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1358 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1412 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1413 ==============================================
1415 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1416 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1417 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1418 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1419 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1423 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1424 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1426 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1427 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1428 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
1429 * documentation fixes
1430 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
1433 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

1447 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1448 ==============================================
1450 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1452 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1453 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1455 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1456 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1458 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1471 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1472 ==============================================
1474 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1477 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1478 ready at a specified monotonic time
1480 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1482 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
1485 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
1486 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

1584 * Translation updates:
1599 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1600 ==============================================
1602 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1603 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1604 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1605 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1606 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1608 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1609 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1610 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1611 particular, are incompatible.
1613 * Bugs fixed in this release:

1658 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1659 ==============================================
1661 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1662 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1663 causing regressions in applications.
1665 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1666 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1667 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1670 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1671 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1672 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1674 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1676 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1678 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1680 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1682 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1684 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1686 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1688 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1690 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1692 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

1742 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
1743 ==============================================
1745 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1746 give feedback if they cause trouble:
1748 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
1749 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
1751 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
1753 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
1755 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
1757 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
1759 * GLib version macros updated
1761 * Update to Unicode 6.2
1763 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
1765 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
1767 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
1769 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
1770 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation
1773 118536 Make g_signal_connect_object'ed handlers disconnect when the data object is destroyed

2586 ==============================================
2589 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2590 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2591 to an overridden property
2592 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2593 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2595 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
2596 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
2598 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

2640 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2641 ==============================================
2643 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2644 moved to GtkApplication.
2646 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2647 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2648 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2649 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2651 * lots of documentation improvements
2653 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2655 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2656 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2658 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2660 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2662 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2664 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2665 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2668 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2669 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2673 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
2674 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

2676 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
2677 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
2678 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
2680 * Translations updated:
2684 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2685 ==============================================
2687 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2688 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2689 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2692 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2693 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2694 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2697 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2698 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2699 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2700 through an idle on the context.
2702 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2703 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2704 fixes here and there.
2706 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2707 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2708 API available outside GLib
2710 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2749 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
2751 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
2752 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2753 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2755 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
2758 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
2759 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

2771 - various GIO file and stream fixes
2772 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
2774 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2775 =================================================
2777 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2778 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2780 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2781 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2782 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2783 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2784 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2785 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2786 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2787 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2788 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2789 required (and has been deprecated)
2790 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2791 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2792 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2793 without explicit initialisation.
2794 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2795 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2796 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2798 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2799 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2800 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2801 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2802 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2803 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2804 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2806 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2807 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2808 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2809 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2810 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2811 - other implementation details changed
2813 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2814 deprecated/ directory.
2816 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2817 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2818 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2820 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2821 platform over a year ago).
2823 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2824 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2826 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2827 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2829 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2830 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2831 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2832 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2835 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2836 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2839 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2841 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2842 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2844 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2845 in a multi-threaded program
2847 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2848 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2851 - drop -uninstalled variants
2852 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2854 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2855 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2856 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2858 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2860 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2861 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2864 - many code generation updates and improvements
2865 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2868 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2869 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2871 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2873 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2876 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2877 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2879 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2880 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2882 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2884 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
2888 * Partial list of bugs closed:
2889 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3315 ==============================================
3317 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3318 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3319 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3320 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3321 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3322 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3324 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3325 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3327 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3329 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

3382 * Updated translations:
3391 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3392 ==============================================
3395 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3396 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3397 an 'object manager' pattern:
3398 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3399 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3400 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3401 And server-side implementations:
3402 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3403 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3404 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3408 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3412 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3413 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3414 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3415 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3418 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3419 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3422 * Unix-specific APIs:
3423 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3424 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3425 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3426 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3427 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3428 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3459 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3460 ==============================================
3463 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3464 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3465 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3468 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3469 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3470 situations has been improved
3473 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3474 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3477 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3478 match strcmp() semantics
3479 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3480 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3481 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3483 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3484 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3487 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3489 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3491 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3492 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3493 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3823 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
3824 - Support environment passing
3827 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
3828 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3830 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3831 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3832 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3836 158725 free linked list with data
3837 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

3849 * Translation updates:
3855 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3856 ==============================================
3858 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3859 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3861 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3862 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3864 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3866 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3868 g_settings_get_range
3869 g_settings_range_check
3870 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3872 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3873 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3875 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3876 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3878 g_main_context_invoke
3879 g_main_context_invoke_full
3881 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3882 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3883 looking for default applications.
3885 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3886 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3887 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3888 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3890 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3891 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3892 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4153 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4154 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4155 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4156 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4159 There have been many other improvements, however:
4162 - vastly improved test coverage
4163 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4164 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4165 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
4168 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
4171 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
4172 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
4173 - improve debug output, add some extra options
4174 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
4176 - sort property names correctly
4177 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
4179 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
4182 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
4183 without mapping functions
4184 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
4187 - improve closure support for bindings
4188 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
4191 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

4282 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4283 =====================================================
4285 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4286 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4287 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4288 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4289 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4292 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4293 -Bsymbolic-functions
4294 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4295 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4296 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4297 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4298 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4301 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4302 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4303 nobody was doing that.
4304 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4306 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4307 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4309 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4310 have a serial number
4311 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4313 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4315 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4316 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4317 has finished running on GDBus services.
4318 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4319 this due to the obvious race)
4320 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4321 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4324 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4325 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4326 arguments and different behaviour
4327 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4328 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4329 strings instead of utf8 strings
4330 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4331 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4332 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4333 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4334 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4335 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4336 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4337 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4338 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4341 - improved documentation
4342 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4343 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4344 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4345 overridden using <override>.
4346 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4348 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4349 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4350 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4351 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4352 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4353 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4354 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4355 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4356 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4357 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4358 being set due to a premature free
4359 - command line tool: bash completion support
4360 - chain up in _finalize
4361 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4363 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4364 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4365 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4367 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4368 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4369 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4370 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4371 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4375 - always intern GBinding prop names
4376 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4377 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4378 - GNode docs improvements
4379 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4380 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4381 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4385 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4386 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4387 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4388 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4389 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4390 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4391 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4392 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4394 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4395 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4396 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4397 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4398 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4399 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4400 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4401 610784 array test failing
4402 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4403 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
4404 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
4405 622124 implement flags

5095 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5096 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5099 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5100 interfaces to dynamic types.

5824 ===================================================
5826 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
5827 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
5828 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

5830 also uses less memory overall.
5832 * Make g_poll available as public api
5834 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
5835 that a GError is set or unset
5837 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
5839 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
5840 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
5842 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
5843 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
