138 * Translation updates:
153 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
154 ==============================================
156 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
157 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
158 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
159 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
160 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
162 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
163 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
164 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
165 particular, are incompatible.
167 * Bugs fixed in this release:

212 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
213 ==============================================
215 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
216 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
217 causing regressions in applications.
219 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
220 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
221 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
224 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
225 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
226 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
228 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
230 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
232 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
234 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
236 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
238 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
240 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
242 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
244 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
246 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

296 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
297 ==============================================
299 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
300 give feedback if they cause trouble:
302 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
303 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

989 which can be set to make GDBus automatically reload
990 changed properties even if the propertychanged signal
991 does not contain the new values.

1139 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
1140 ==============================================
1143 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1144 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1145 to an overridden property
1146 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1147 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1149 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1150 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
1152 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

1194 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1195 ==============================================
1197 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1198 moved to GtkApplication.
1200 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1201 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1202 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1203 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1205 * lots of documentation improvements
1207 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1209 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1210 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1212 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1214 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1216 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1218 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1219 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1222 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1223 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1227 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1228 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

1234 * Translations updated:
1238 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1239 ==============================================
1241 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1242 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1243 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1246 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1247 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1248 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1251 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1252 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1253 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1254 through an idle on the context.
1256 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1257 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1258 fixes here and there.
1260 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1261 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1262 API available outside GLib
1264 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1298 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
1299 ==============================================
1301 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
1303 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
1305 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1306 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1307 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1309 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1312 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1313 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
1314 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
1317 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
1318 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
1321 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
1324 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
1325 - various GIO file and stream fixes
1326 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1328 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1329 =================================================
1331 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1332 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1334 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1335 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1336 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1337 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1338 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1339 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1340 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1341 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1342 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1343 required (and has been deprecated)
1344 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1345 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1346 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1347 without explicit initialisation.
1348 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1349 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1350 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1352 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1353 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1354 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1355 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1356 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1357 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1358 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1360 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1361 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1362 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1363 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1364 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1365 - other implementation details changed
1367 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1368 deprecated/ directory.
1370 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1371 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1372 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1374 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1375 platform over a year ago).
1377 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1378 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1380 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1381 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1383 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1384 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1385 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1386 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1389 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1390 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1393 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1395 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1396 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1398 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1399 in a multi-threaded program
1401 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1402 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1405 - drop -uninstalled variants
1406 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1408 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1409 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1410 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1412 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1414 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1415 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1418 - many code generation updates and improvements
1419 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1422 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1423 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1425 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1427 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1430 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1431 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1433 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1434 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1436 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1438 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1442 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1443 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1868 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
1869 ==============================================
1871 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1872 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1873 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1874 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1875 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1876 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1878 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1879 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1881 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1883 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
1885 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
1887 * Introspection improvements:

1936 * Updated translations:
1945 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1946 ==============================================
1949 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1950 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1951 an 'object manager' pattern:
1952 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1953 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1954 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1955 And server-side implementations:
1956 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1957 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1958 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1962 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1966 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1967 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1968 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1969 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1972 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1973 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1976 * Unix-specific APIs:
1977 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1978 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1979 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1980 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1981 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1982 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
1985 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

1998 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
1999 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
2000 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
2001 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

2004 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
2006 * Updated translations
2013 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2014 ==============================================
2017 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2018 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2019 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2022 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2023 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2024 situations has been improved
2027 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2028 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2031 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2032 match strcmp() semantics
2033 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2034 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2035 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2037 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2038 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2041 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2043 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2045 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2046 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2047 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2424 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2426 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2427 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2429 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2430 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2432 g_main_context_invoke
2433 g_main_context_invoke_full
2435 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2436 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2437 looking for default applications.
2439 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2440 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2441 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2442 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2444 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2445 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2446 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2701 =====================================================
2703 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2704 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2705 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2707 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2708 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2709 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2710 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2713 There have been many other improvements, however:
2716 - vastly improved test coverage
2717 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2718 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2719 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
2722 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
2725 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
2726 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage

2728 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
2730 - sort property names correctly
2731 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
2733 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing

2737 without mapping functions
2738 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
2741 - improve closure support for bindings
2742 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

2768 =====================================================
2770 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2771 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2772 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2773 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2774 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2775 | required (and will be along soon). |
2776 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2779 - cleanup automake setup
2780 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2781 - various docs fixups
2782 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2788 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
2789 - add g_settings_reset()
2790 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2793 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

2795 - proper support for file descriptor passing
2796 - new flags parameter for sending messages
2797 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
2798 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2799 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2800 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2801 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2804 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2807 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
2808 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2809 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2812 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
2813 617483 Credentials passing
2814 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

2836 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2837 =====================================================
2839 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2840 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2841 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2842 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2843 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2846 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2847 -Bsymbolic-functions
2848 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2849 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2850 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2851 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2852 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2855 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2856 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2857 nobody was doing that.
2858 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2860 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2861 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2863 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2864 have a serial number
2865 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2867 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2869 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2870 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2871 has finished running on GDBus services.
2872 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2873 this due to the obvious race)
2874 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2875 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2878 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2879 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2880 arguments and different behaviour
2881 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2882 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2883 strings instead of utf8 strings
2884 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2885 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2886 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2887 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2888 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2889 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2890 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2891 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2892 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2895 - improved documentation
2896 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2897 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2898 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2899 overridden using <override>.
2900 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2902 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2903 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2904 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2905 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2906 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2907 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2908 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2909 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2910 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2911 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2912 being set due to a premature free
2913 - command line tool: bash completion support
2914 - chain up in _finalize
2915 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2917 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2918 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2919 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2921 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2922 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2923 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2924 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2925 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2929 - always intern GBinding prop names
2930 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2931 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2932 - GNode docs improvements
2933 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2934 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2935 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2939 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2940 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2941 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2942 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2943 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2944 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2945 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2946 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2948 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2949 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2950 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2951 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2952 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

3639 ===================================================
3642 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3643 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3644 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3645 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3646 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3647 while loading or saving it.
3648 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3649 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3650 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3653 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3654 interfaces to dynamic types.
3657 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3658 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
3659 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

6057 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
6061 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
6062 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
