787 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
788 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
789 to an overridden property
790 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
791 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
793 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
794 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
796 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

828 * Updated translations
838 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
839 ==============================================
841 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
842 moved to GtkApplication.
844 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
845 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
846 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
847 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
849 * lots of documentation improvements
851 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
853 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
854 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
856 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
858 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
860 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
862 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
863 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
866 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
867 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
868 664699 glib: documentation fixes
869 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
870 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
871 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
872 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
873 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped

875 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
876 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
878 * Translations updated:
882 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
883 ==============================================
885 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
886 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
887 There have also been many related improvements to action group
890 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
891 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
892 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
895 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
896 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
897 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
898 through an idle on the context.
900 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
901 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
902 fixes here and there.
904 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
905 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
906 API available outside GLib
908 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

949 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
950 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
951 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
953 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
956 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
957 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
958 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
961 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
962 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
965 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
968 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
969 - various GIO file and stream fixes
970 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
972 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
973 =================================================
975 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
976 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
978 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
979 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
980 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
981 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
982 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
983 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
984 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
985 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
986 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
987 required (and has been deprecated)
988 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
989 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
990 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
991 without explicit initialisation.
992 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
993 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
994 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
996 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
997 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
998 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
999 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1000 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1001 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1002 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1004 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1005 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1006 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1007 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1008 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1009 - other implementation details changed
1011 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1012 deprecated/ directory.
1014 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1015 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1016 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1018 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1019 platform over a year ago).
1021 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1022 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1024 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1025 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1027 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1028 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1029 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1030 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1033 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1034 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1037 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1039 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1040 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1042 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1043 in a multi-threaded program
1045 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1046 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1049 - drop -uninstalled variants
1050 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1052 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1053 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1054 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1056 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1058 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1059 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1062 - many code generation updates and improvements
1063 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1066 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1067 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1069 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1071 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1074 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1075 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1077 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1078 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1080 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1082 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1086 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1087 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1513 ==============================================
1515 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1516 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1517 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1518 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1519 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1520 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1522 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1523 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1525 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1527 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

1580 * Updated translations:
1589 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1590 ==============================================
1593 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1594 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1595 an 'object manager' pattern:
1596 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1597 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1598 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1599 And server-side implementations:
1600 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1601 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1602 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1606 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1610 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1611 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1612 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1613 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1616 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1617 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1620 * Unix-specific APIs:
1621 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1622 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1623 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1624 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1625 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1626 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1657 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1658 ==============================================
1661 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1662 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1663 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1666 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1667 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1668 situations has been improved
1671 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1672 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1675 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1676 match strcmp() semantics
1677 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1678 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1679 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1681 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1682 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1685 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1687 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1689 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1690 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1691 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2022 - Support environment passing
2025 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2026 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2028 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2029 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2030 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

2047 * Translation updates:
2053 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2054 ==============================================
2056 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2057 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2059 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2060 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2062 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2064 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2066 g_settings_get_range
2067 g_settings_range_check
2068 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2070 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2071 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2073 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2074 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2076 g_main_context_invoke
2077 g_main_context_invoke_full
2079 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2080 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2081 looking for default applications.
2083 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2084 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2085 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2086 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2088 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2089 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2090 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2351 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2352 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2353 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2354 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very

2499 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2500 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2501 nobody was doing that.
2502 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2504 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2505 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2507 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2508 have a serial number
2509 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2511 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2513 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2514 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2515 has finished running on GDBus services.
2516 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2517 this due to the obvious race)
2518 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2519 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2522 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2523 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2524 arguments and different behaviour
2525 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2526 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2527 strings instead of utf8 strings
2528 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2529 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2530 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2531 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2532 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2533 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2534 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2535 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2536 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2539 - improved documentation
2540 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2541 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2542 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2543 overridden using <override>.
2544 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2546 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2547 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2548 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2549 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2550 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2551 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2552 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2553 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2554 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2555 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2556 being set due to a premature free
2557 - command line tool: bash completion support
2558 - chain up in _finalize
2559 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2561 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2562 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2563 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2565 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2566 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2567 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2568 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2569 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2573 - always intern GBinding prop names
2574 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2575 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2576 - GNode docs improvements
2577 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2578 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2579 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2583 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2584 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2585 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2586 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2587 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2588 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2589 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2590 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2592 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2593 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2594 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2595 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2596 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2597 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2598 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

3283 ===================================================
3286 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3287 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3288 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3289 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3290 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3291 while loading or saving it.
3292 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3293 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3294 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3297 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3298 interfaces to dynamic types.
3301 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3302 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

4022 ===================================================
4024 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
4025 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4026 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4027 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4028 also uses less memory overall.
4030 * Make g_poll available as public api
4032 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4033 that a GError is set or unset
4035 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4037 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4038 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4040 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4041 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

5655 =================================================
5657 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
5658 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
5659 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
5661 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
5662 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
5665 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
5666 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
5667 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
5669 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
5671 * Memory management:
5672 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
5673 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
5674 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
5675 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
5676 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
5677 never worked as intended.
5678 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
5679 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
5680 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
5681 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
5682 efficient and scalable implementation.
5683 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
5686 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
5687 unnecessary recursion.
5690 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:

5692 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
5696 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
5699 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
5700 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
5701 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
5705 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
5706 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
5707 since they are in glib.h
