383 ==============================================
386 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
387 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
388 to an overridden property
389 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
390 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
392 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
393 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
395 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

437 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
438 ==============================================
440 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
441 moved to GtkApplication.
443 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
444 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
445 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
446 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
448 * lots of documentation improvements
450 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
452 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
453 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
455 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
457 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
459 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
461 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
462 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
465 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
466 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
467 664699 glib: documentation fixes
468 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
469 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
470 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
471 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
472 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
473 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
474 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
475 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
477 * Translations updated:
481 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
482 ==============================================
484 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
485 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
486 There have also been many related improvements to action group
489 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
490 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
491 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
494 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
495 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
496 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
497 through an idle on the context.
499 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
500 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
501 fixes here and there.
503 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
504 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
505 API available outside GLib
507 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

548 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
549 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
550 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
552 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
555 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
556 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
557 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
560 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

569 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
571 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
572 =================================================
574 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
575 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
577 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
578 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
579 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
580 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
581 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
582 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
583 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
584 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
585 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
586 required (and has been deprecated)
587 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
588 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
589 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
590 without explicit initialisation.
591 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
592 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
593 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
595 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
596 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
597 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
598 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
599 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
600 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
601 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
603 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
604 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
605 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
606 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
607 - GThread is now a refcounted type
608 - other implementation details changed
610 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
611 deprecated/ directory.
613 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
614 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
615 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
617 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
618 platform over a year ago).
620 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
621 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
623 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
624 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
626 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
627 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
628 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
629 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
632 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
633 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
636 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
638 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
639 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
641 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
642 in a multi-threaded program
644 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
645 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
648 - drop -uninstalled variants
649 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
651 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
652 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
653 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
655 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
657 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
658 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.

1112 ==============================================
1114 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1115 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1116 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1117 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1118 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1119 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1121 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1122 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

1179 * Updated translations:
1188 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1189 ==============================================
1192 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1193 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1194 an 'object manager' pattern:
1195 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1196 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1197 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1198 And server-side implementations:
1199 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1200 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1201 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1205 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1209 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1210 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1211 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1212 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1215 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1216 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1219 * Unix-specific APIs:
1220 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1221 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1222 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1223 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop

1256 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1257 ==============================================
1260 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1261 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1262 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1265 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1266 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1267 situations has been improved
1270 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1271 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1274 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1275 match strcmp() semantics
1276 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1277 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1278 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1280 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1281 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1284 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1286 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1288 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1289 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1290 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1567 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
1568 ==============================================
1570 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1571 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1576 g_get_monotonic_time
1578 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1581 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1583 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

1621 - Support environment passing
1624 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1625 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1627 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1628 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1629 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1633 158725 free linked list with data
1634 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

1646 * Translation updates:
1652 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1653 ==============================================
1655 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1656 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1658 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1659 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1661 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1663 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1665 g_settings_get_range
1666 g_settings_range_check
1667 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1669 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1670 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1672 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1673 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1675 g_main_context_invoke
1676 g_main_context_invoke_full
1678 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1679 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1680 looking for default applications.
1682 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1683 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1684 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1685 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1687 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1688 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1689 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1947 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1948 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1950 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1951 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1952 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1953 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1956 There have been many other improvements, however:
1959 - vastly improved test coverage
1960 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1961 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

2010 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2011 =====================================================
2013 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2014 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2015 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2016 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2017 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2018 | required (and will be along soon). |
2019 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2022 - cleanup automake setup
2023 - rename configure.in to configure.ac

2079 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2080 =====================================================
2082 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2083 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2084 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2085 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2086 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2089 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2090 -Bsymbolic-functions
2091 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2092 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2093 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2094 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2095 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2098 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2099 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2100 nobody was doing that.
2101 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2103 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2104 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2106 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2107 have a serial number
2108 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2110 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2112 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2113 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2114 has finished running on GDBus services.
2115 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2116 this due to the obvious race)
2117 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2118 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2121 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2122 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2123 arguments and different behaviour
2124 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2125 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2126 strings instead of utf8 strings
2127 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2128 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2129 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2130 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2131 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2132 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2133 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2134 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2135 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2138 - improved documentation
2139 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2140 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2141 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2142 overridden using <override>.
2143 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2145 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2146 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2147 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2148 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2149 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2150 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2151 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2152 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2153 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2154 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2155 being set due to a premature free
2156 - command line tool: bash completion support
2157 - chain up in _finalize
2158 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2160 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2161 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2162 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2164 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2165 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2166 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2167 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2168 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2172 - always intern GBinding prop names
2173 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2174 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2175 - GNode docs improvements
2176 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2177 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2178 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2182 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2183 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2184 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2185 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2186 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2187 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2188 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2189 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2191 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2192 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2193 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2194 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2195 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2196 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2197 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
2198 610784 array test failing
2199 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2200 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
2201 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
2202 622124 implement flags

2213 623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
2214 623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"

3621 ===================================================

3624 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

3627 also uses less memory overall.

3632 that a GError is set or unset
3634 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
3636 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
3637 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
3639 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
