184 - Support environment passing
187 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
188 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
190 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
191 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
192 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
196 158725 free linked list with data

216 ==============================================
218 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
219 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
221 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
222 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
224 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
226 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
229 g_settings_range_check
230 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
232 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
233 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
235 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
236 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
238 g_main_context_invoke
239 g_main_context_invoke_full
241 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
242 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
243 looking for default applications.
245 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
246 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
247 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
248 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
250 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
251 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
252 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
255 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
256 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality

509 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
510 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
511 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
513 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
514 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
515 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
516 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
519 There have been many other improvements, however:
522 - vastly improved test coverage
523 - old tests moved to the gtester framework

576 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
577 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
578 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
579 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
580 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
581 | required (and will be along soon). |
582 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
585 - cleanup automake setup
586 - rename configure.in to configure.ac

642 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
643 =====================================================
645 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
646 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
647 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
648 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
649 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
652 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
654 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
655 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
656 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
657 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
658 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
661 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
662 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
663 nobody was doing that.
664 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
666 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
667 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
669 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
671 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
673 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
675 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
676 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
677 has finished running on GDBus services.
678 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
679 this due to the obvious race)
680 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
681 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
684 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
685 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
686 arguments and different behaviour
687 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
688 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
689 strings instead of utf8 strings
690 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and

1351 ===================================================
1353 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
1355 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
1357 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
1358 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
1359 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
1361 * Threading changes:
1362 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
1363 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
1365 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
1366 when g_type_init() is called.
1367 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
1370 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
1373 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

1445 ===================================================
1448 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1449 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1450 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1451 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1452 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1453 while loading or saving it.
1454 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1455 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1456 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1459 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1460 interfaces to dynamic types.
1463 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
1464 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

2184 ===================================================
2186 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2187 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2188 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
2189 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
2190 also uses less memory overall.
2192 * Make g_poll available as public api
2194 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2195 that a GError is set or unset
2197 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2199 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2200 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2202 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2203 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3817 =================================================
3819 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
3820 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
3821 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
3823 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
3824 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
3827 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
3828 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
3829 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
3831 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
3833 * Memory management:
3834 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
3835 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
3836 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
3837 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
3838 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
3839 never worked as intended.
3840 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
3841 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3842 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3843 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3844 efficient and scalable implementation.
3845 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
3848 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
3849 unnecessary recursion.
3852 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
3853 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
3854 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
3858 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
3861 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
3862 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
3863 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3867 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3868 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
