1 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2 =====================================================
4 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
11 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
13 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
14 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
15 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
16 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
17 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
20 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
21 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
22 nobody was doing that.
23 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
25 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
26 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
28 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
30 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
32 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
34 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
35 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
36 has finished running on GDBus services.
37 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
38 this due to the obvious race)
39 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
40 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
43 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
44 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
45 arguments and different behaviour
46 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
47 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
48 strings instead of utf8 strings
49 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
50 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
51 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
52 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
53 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
54 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
55 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
56 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
57 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
60 - improved documentation
61 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
62 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
63 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
64 overridden using <override>.
65 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
67 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
68 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
69 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
70 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
71 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
72 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
73 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
74 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
75 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
76 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
77 being set due to a premature free
78 - command line tool: bash completion support
79 - chain up in _finalize
80 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
82 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
83 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
84 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
86 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
87 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
88 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
89 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
90 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
94 - always intern GBinding prop names
95 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
96 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
97 - GNode docs improvements
98 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
99 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
100 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
104 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
105 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
106 - improved tests for GKeyfile
107 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
108 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
109 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
110 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
111 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
113 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
114 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
115 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
116 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
117 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
118 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
119 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
120 610784 array test failing

807 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
808 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
809 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
810 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
811 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
812 while loading or saving it.
813 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
814 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
815 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
818 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
819 interfaces to dynamic types.
822 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
823 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
824 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

1543 ===================================================
1545 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
1546 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
1547 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
1548 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
1549 also uses less memory overall.
1551 * Make g_poll available as public api
1553 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
1554 that a GError is set or unset
1556 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
1558 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1559 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1561 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1562 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3175 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
3176 =================================================
3178 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
3179 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
3180 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
3182 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
3183 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
3186 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
3187 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
3188 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
3190 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
3192 * Memory management:
3193 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
3194 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
3195 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
3196 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
3197 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
3198 never worked as intended.
3199 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
3200 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3201 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3202 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3203 efficient and scalable implementation.
3204 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
3207 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
3208 unnecessary recursion.
3211 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
3212 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
3213 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
3217 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
