780 ==============================================
783 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
784 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
785 to an overridden property
786 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
787 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
789 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
790 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
792 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
794 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

824 * Updated translations
834 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
835 ==============================================
837 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
838 moved to GtkApplication.
840 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
841 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
842 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
843 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
845 * lots of documentation improvements
847 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
849 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
850 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
852 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
854 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
856 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
858 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
859 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
862 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
863 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
864 664699 glib: documentation fixes
865 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
866 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
867 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
868 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
869 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
870 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
871 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
872 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
874 * Translations updated:
878 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
879 ==============================================
881 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
882 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
883 There have also been many related improvements to action group
886 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
887 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
888 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
891 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
892 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
893 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
894 through an idle on the context.
896 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
897 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
898 fixes here and there.
900 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
901 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
902 API available outside GLib
904 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

945 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
946 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
947 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
949 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
952 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
953 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
954 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
957 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
958 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
961 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
964 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
965 - various GIO file and stream fixes
966 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
968 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
969 =================================================
971 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
972 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
974 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
975 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
976 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
977 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
978 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
979 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
980 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
981 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
982 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
983 required (and has been deprecated)
984 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
985 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
986 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
987 without explicit initialisation.
988 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
989 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
990 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
992 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
993 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
994 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
995 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
996 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
997 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
998 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1000 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1001 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1002 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1003 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1004 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1005 - other implementation details changed
1007 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1008 deprecated/ directory.
1010 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1011 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1012 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1014 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1015 platform over a year ago).
1017 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1018 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1020 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1021 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1023 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1024 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1025 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1026 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1029 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1030 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1033 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1035 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1036 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1038 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1039 in a multi-threaded program
1041 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1042 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1045 - drop -uninstalled variants
1046 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1048 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1049 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1050 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1052 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1054 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1055 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1058 - many code generation updates and improvements
1059 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1062 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1063 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1065 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1067 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1070 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1071 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1073 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1074 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1076 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1078 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1082 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1083 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1509 ==============================================
1511 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1512 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1513 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1514 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1515 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1516 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1518 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1519 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1521 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1523 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

1576 * Updated translations:
1585 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1586 ==============================================
1589 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1590 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1591 an 'object manager' pattern:
1592 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1593 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1594 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1595 And server-side implementations:
1596 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1597 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1598 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1602 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1606 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1607 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1608 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1609 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1612 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1613 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1616 * Unix-specific APIs:
1617 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1618 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1619 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1620 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1621 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1622 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1646 * Updated translations
1653 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1654 ==============================================
1657 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1658 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1659 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1662 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1663 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1664 situations has been improved
1667 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1668 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1671 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1672 match strcmp() semantics
1673 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1674 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1675 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1677 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1678 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1681 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1683 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1685 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1686 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1687 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1967 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1968 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1973 g_get_monotonic_time
1975 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1978 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally

2017 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2018 - Support environment passing
2021 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2022 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2024 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2025 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2026 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2030 158725 free linked list with data

2043 * Translation updates:
2049 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2050 ==============================================
2052 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2053 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2055 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2056 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2058 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2060 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2062 g_settings_get_range
2063 g_settings_range_check
2064 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2066 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2067 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2069 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2070 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2072 g_main_context_invoke
2073 g_main_context_invoke_full
2075 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2076 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2077 looking for default applications.
2079 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2080 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2081 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2082 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2084 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2085 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2086 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2344 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2345 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2347 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2348 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2349 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2350 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2353 There have been many other improvements, however:
2356 - vastly improved test coverage
2357 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2358 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

2408 =====================================================
2410 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2411 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2412 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2413 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2414 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2415 | required (and will be along soon). |
2416 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2419 - cleanup automake setup
2420 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2421 - various docs fixups
2422 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2428 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
2429 - add g_settings_reset()
2430 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2433 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

2435 - proper support for file descriptor passing
2436 - new flags parameter for sending messages
2437 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
2438 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2439 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2440 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2441 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2444 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2447 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
2448 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2449 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2452 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
2453 617483 Credentials passing

2477 =====================================================
2479 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2480 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2481 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2482 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2483 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2486 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2487 -Bsymbolic-functions
2488 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2489 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2490 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2491 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2492 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2495 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2496 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2497 nobody was doing that.
2498 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2500 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2501 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2503 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2504 have a serial number
2505 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2507 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2509 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2510 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2511 has finished running on GDBus services.
2512 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2513 this due to the obvious race)
2514 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2515 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2518 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2519 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2520 arguments and different behaviour
2521 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2522 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2523 strings instead of utf8 strings
2524 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2525 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2526 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2527 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2528 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2529 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2530 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2531 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2532 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2535 - improved documentation
2536 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2537 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2538 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2539 overridden using <override>.
2540 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2542 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2543 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2544 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2545 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2546 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2547 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2548 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2549 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2550 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2551 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2552 being set due to a premature free
2553 - command line tool: bash completion support
2554 - chain up in _finalize
2555 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2557 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2558 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2559 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2561 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2562 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2563 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2564 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2565 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2569 - always intern GBinding prop names
2570 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2571 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2572 - GNode docs improvements
2573 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2574 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2575 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2579 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2580 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2581 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2582 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2583 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2584 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2585 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2586 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2588 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2589 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

3279 ===================================================
3282 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3283 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3284 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3285 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3286 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3287 while loading or saving it.
3288 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3289 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3290 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3293 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3294 interfaces to dynamic types.
3297 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3298 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
3299 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

4018 ===================================================
4020 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
4021 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4022 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4023 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4024 also uses less memory overall.
4026 * Make g_poll available as public api
4028 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4029 that a GError is set or unset
4031 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4033 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4034 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4036 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4037 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

5661 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
5662 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
5663 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
5665 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
5667 * Memory management:
5668 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

5671 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
5672 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
5673 never worked as intended.
5674 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
5675 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
5676 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
5677 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
5678 efficient and scalable implementation.

5695 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
5696 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
5697 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
5701 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
5702 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
5703 since they are in glib.h
