1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2 ==============================================
5 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7 an 'object manager' pattern:
8 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
9 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
10 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
11 And server-side implementations:
12 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
13 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
14 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
18 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
22 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
23 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
24 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
25 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
28 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
29 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
33 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
34 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
35 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
36 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
37 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
38 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

69 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
70 ==============================================
73 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
74 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
75 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
78 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
79 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
80 situations has been improved
83 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
84 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
87 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
88 match strcmp() semantics
89 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
90 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
91 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
93 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
94 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
97 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
99 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
101 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
102 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
103 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

466 ==============================================
468 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
469 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
471 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
472 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
474 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
476 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
479 g_settings_range_check
480 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
482 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
483 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
485 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
486 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
488 g_main_context_invoke
489 g_main_context_invoke_full
491 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
492 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
493 looking for default applications.
495 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
496 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
497 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
498 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
500 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
501 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
502 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

760 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
761 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
763 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
764 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
765 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
766 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
769 There have been many other improvements, however:
772 - vastly improved test coverage
773 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
774 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
775 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

826 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
827 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
828 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |

893 =====================================================
895 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
896 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
897 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
898 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
899 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
902 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
904 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
905 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
906 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
907 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
908 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
911 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
912 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
913 nobody was doing that.
914 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
916 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
917 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
919 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
921 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
923 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
925 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
926 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
927 has finished running on GDBus services.
928 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
929 this due to the obvious race)
930 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
931 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
934 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
935 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
936 arguments and different behaviour
937 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
938 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
939 strings instead of utf8 strings
940 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
941 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
942 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
943 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
944 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
945 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
946 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
947 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
948 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
951 - improved documentation
952 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
953 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
954 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
955 overridden using <override>.
956 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
958 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
959 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
960 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
961 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
962 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
963 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
964 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
965 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
966 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
967 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
968 being set due to a premature free
969 - command line tool: bash completion support
970 - chain up in _finalize
971 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
973 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
974 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
975 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
977 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
978 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
979 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
980 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
981 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
985 - always intern GBinding prop names
986 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
987 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
988 - GNode docs improvements
989 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
990 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
991 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
995 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check

999 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
1000 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
1001 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
1002 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
1004 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
1005 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
1006 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1007 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
1008 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
1009 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
1010 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
1011 610784 array test failing
1012 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1013 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

1705 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1706 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1709 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1710 interfaces to dynamic types.

2450 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2452 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
