1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2 ====================================================
4 * GSettings fixes/improvements
6 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
8 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
9 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
12 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
13 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
16 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
18 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
20 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
23 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
24 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
26 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
28 * Applications/Actions
30 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
31 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
34 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
35 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
37 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
38 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
39 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
40 not itself at fault for the errant call)
44 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
45 accesses that are performed in common situations
47 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
50 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
51 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
53 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
54 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
59 - ignore qualified tags, as above
61 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
62 that test programs don't pick them up
64 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
66 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
67 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
68 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
69 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
71 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
72 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
74 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
75 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
76 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
80 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
82 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
84 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
94 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
95 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
96 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
97 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
98 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
99 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
100 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
101 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
102 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
103 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
104 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
105 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
106 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
107 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE

136 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
137 ====================================================
139 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
143 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
145 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
146 them can restart the application with an action (via
151 - new API for launching subprocesses
153 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
155 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
157 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
158 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
160 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
162 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
164 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
165 actions and listing apps and actions
167 - bash tab completion is supported
169 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
171 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
172 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
174 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
177 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
178 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
183 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
185 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
186 class and inotify backend
188 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
189 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
191 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
196 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
197 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
198 when there are invalid schemas installed
200 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
204 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
205 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
207 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
210 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
211 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
212 semantics of the interface in each case
214 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
215 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
217 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
219 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
220 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
221 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
222 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
226 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
229 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
231 * Portability improvements
233 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
235 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
236 actually support it (like Hurd)
238 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
240 * Other small API changes/additions
242 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
243 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
244 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
246 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
248 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
251 * GMainContext/GSource
253 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
255 - g_source_remove() will not throw a critical in the case that you
256 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
257 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
258 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
259 broken and should probably be fixed.
261 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
262 require use of a linked list
266 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
267 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
268 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
270 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
274 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
275 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
276 gphoto, archive, at least).
278 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
280 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
283 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
284 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
285 (which shared exactly the same bug)
287 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
289 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
291 * Many documentation improvements
294 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
295 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
296 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

316 708753 gdesktopappinfo: Call g_file_get_path() on demand
317 708793 glib build fails with clang < 3.1: error: expected ';' after top level declarator
318 708828 GDBusProxy: add the ability to call methods on non autostarted proxies
319 708860 glib-2.38.0 doesn't build on Solaris 10
320 708972 gnetworking.h in tarball screws up out-of-source builds

349 What's new in Glib 2.38
350 ========================
352 * Application support
354 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
355 desktop entry specification
357 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
358 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
359 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
361 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
362 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
363 to launch other applications
365 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
366 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
370 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
371 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
372 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
373 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
374 any problems that this may have caused.
376 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
377 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
378 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
379 (allowing memory savings)
381 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
382 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
383 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
385 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
386 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
389 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
390 without destroying one of the objects involved
394 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
395 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
396 with a finite number of cases
398 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
399 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
401 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
402 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
403 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
404 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
407 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
411 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
412 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
413 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
415 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
417 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
418 and an API to check them
420 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
421 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
423 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
424 with most functions, but this is not recommended
428 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
429 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
430 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
433 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
434 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
435 particular directory (akin to 'du').
437 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
442 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
443 allow for regexp matching on streams
445 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
446 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
447 g_variant_new_printf()
451 - we can now generate TAP output
453 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
454 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
456 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
461 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

723 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
724 ==============================================
726 * add support for installed tests:
727 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
729 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
730 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
732 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
734 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
736 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
737 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
738 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
740 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

772 ==============================================
774 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
775 and a parser API for them is now provided
777 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
778 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
779 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

839 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
840 ==============================================
842 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
844 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
847 - fix some 'available since' annotations
849 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

871 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
872 ==============================================
874 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
875 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
876 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
877 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

901 * Translation updates:
931 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
932 ==============================================
934 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
935 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
936 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
937 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
938 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

966 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
967 ==============================================
969 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
971 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
972 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
974 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
975 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
977 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
990 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
991 ==============================================
993 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
996 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
997 ready at a specified monotonic time
999 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1001 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

1103 * Translation updates:
1118 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1119 ==============================================
1121 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1122 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1123 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1124 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1125 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1127 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1128 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1129 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1130 particular, are incompatible.
1132 * Bugs fixed in this release:

1177 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1178 ==============================================
1180 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1181 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1182 causing regressions in applications.
1184 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1185 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1186 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1189 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1190 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1191 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1193 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1195 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1197 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1199 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1201 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1203 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1205 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1207 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1209 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1211 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

1261 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
1262 ==============================================
1264 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1265 give feedback if they cause trouble:
1267 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
1268 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
1270 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
1272 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
1274 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
1276 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
1278 * GLib version macros updated
1280 * Update to Unicode 6.2
1282 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
1284 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
1286 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names

2104 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
2105 ==============================================
2108 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2109 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2110 to an overridden property
2111 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2112 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2114 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
2115 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

2159 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2160 ==============================================
2162 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2163 moved to GtkApplication.
2165 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2166 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2167 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2168 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2170 * lots of documentation improvements
2172 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2174 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2175 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2177 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2179 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2181 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2183 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2184 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2187 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2188 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2192 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
2193 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

2195 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
2196 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
2197 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
2199 * Translations updated:
2203 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2204 ==============================================
2206 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2207 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2208 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2211 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2212 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2213 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2216 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2217 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2218 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2219 through an idle on the context.
2221 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2222 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2223 fixes here and there.
2225 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2226 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2227 API available outside GLib
2229 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2270 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
2271 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2272 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2274 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
2277 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
2278 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

2290 - various GIO file and stream fixes
2291 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
2293 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2294 =================================================
2296 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2297 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2299 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2300 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2301 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2302 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2303 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2304 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2305 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2306 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2307 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2308 required (and has been deprecated)
2309 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2310 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2311 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2312 without explicit initialisation.
2313 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2314 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2315 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2317 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2318 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2319 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2320 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2321 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2322 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2323 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2325 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2326 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2327 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2328 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2329 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2330 - other implementation details changed
2332 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2333 deprecated/ directory.
2335 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2336 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2337 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2339 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2340 platform over a year ago).
2342 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2343 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2345 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2346 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2348 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2349 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2350 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2351 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2354 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2355 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2358 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2360 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2361 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2363 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2364 in a multi-threaded program
2366 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2367 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2370 - drop -uninstalled variants
2371 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2373 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2374 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2375 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2377 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2379 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2380 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2383 - many code generation updates and improvements
2384 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2387 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2388 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2390 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2392 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2395 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2396 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2398 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2399 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2401 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2403 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
2407 * Partial list of bugs closed:
2408 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

2834 ==============================================
2836 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2837 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2838 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2839 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2840 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2841 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2843 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2844 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
2846 * Access to quarks is now lockless
2848 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

2901 * Updated translations:
2910 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2911 ==============================================
2914 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2915 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2916 an 'object manager' pattern:
2917 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2918 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2919 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2920 And server-side implementations:
2921 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2922 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2923 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2927 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2931 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2932 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2933 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2934 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2937 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2938 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2941 * Unix-specific APIs:
2942 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2943 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2944 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2945 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2946 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2947 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2971 * Updated translations
2978 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2979 ==============================================
2982 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2983 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2984 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2987 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2988 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2989 situations has been improved
2992 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2993 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2996 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2997 match strcmp() semantics
2998 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2999 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3000 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3002 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3003 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3006 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3008 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3010 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3011 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3012 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3343 - Support environment passing
3346 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
3347 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3349 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3350 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3351 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3355 158725 free linked list with data

3368 * Translation updates:
3374 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3375 ==============================================
3377 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3378 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3380 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3381 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3383 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3385 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3387 g_settings_get_range
3388 g_settings_range_check
3389 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3391 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3392 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3394 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3395 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3397 g_main_context_invoke
3398 g_main_context_invoke_full
3400 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3401 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3402 looking for default applications.
3404 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3405 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3406 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3407 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3409 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3410 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3411 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3670 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3672 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3673 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3674 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3675 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3678 There have been many other improvements, however:
3681 - vastly improved test coverage
3682 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3683 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3684 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
3687 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
3690 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
3691 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
3692 - improve debug output, add some extra options
3693 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
3695 - sort property names correctly
3696 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
3698 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
3701 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
3702 without mapping functions
3703 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
3706 - improve closure support for bindings
3707 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
3710 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
3713 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config

3732 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
3733 =====================================================
3735 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3736 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3737 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3738 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3739 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3740 | required (and will be along soon). |
3741 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3744 - cleanup automake setup
3745 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
3746 - various docs fixups
3747 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
3748 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
3751 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
3753 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
3754 - add g_settings_reset()
3755 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
3758 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
3759 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
3760 - proper support for file descriptor passing
3761 - new flags parameter for sending messages
3762 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
3763 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
3764 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
3765 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3766 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3769 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
3770 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
3771 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
3772 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
3773 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
3774 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
3777 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
3778 617483 Credentials passing
3779 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property
3780 623293 vendor override files
3781 623810 Message serialization bug
3782 623815 Don't check sender for GDBusProxy objects where name is not set

3801 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3802 =====================================================
3804 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3805 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3806 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3807 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3808 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3811 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3812 -Bsymbolic-functions
3813 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3814 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3815 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3816 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3817 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3820 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3821 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3822 nobody was doing that.
3823 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3825 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3826 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3828 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3829 have a serial number
3830 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3832 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3834 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3835 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3836 has finished running on GDBus services.
3837 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3838 this due to the obvious race)
3839 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3840 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3843 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3844 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3845 arguments and different behaviour
3846 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3847 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3848 strings instead of utf8 strings
3849 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3850 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3851 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3852 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3853 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3854 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3855 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3856 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3857 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3860 - improved documentation
3861 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3862 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3863 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3864 overridden using <override>.
3865 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3867 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3868 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3869 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3870 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3871 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3872 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3873 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3874 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3875 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3876 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3877 being set due to a premature free
3878 - command line tool: bash completion support
3879 - chain up in _finalize
3880 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3882 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3883 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3884 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3886 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3887 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3888 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3889 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3890 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3894 - always intern GBinding prop names
3895 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3896 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3897 - GNode docs improvements
3898 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3899 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3900 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3904 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3905 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3906 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3907 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3908 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3909 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3910 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3911 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3913 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3914 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3915 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3916 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3917 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3918 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3919 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3920 610784 array test failing
3921 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3922 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

4614 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4615 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4618 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4619 interfaces to dynamic types.

5358 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
5359 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
5361 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
