695 * Translation updates:
700 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
701 ==============================================
704 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
705 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
706 to an overridden property
707 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
708 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
710 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
711 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
713 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
715 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

755 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
756 ==============================================
758 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
759 moved to GtkApplication.
761 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
762 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
763 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
764 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
766 * lots of documentation improvements
768 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
770 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
771 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
773 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
775 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
777 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
779 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
780 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
783 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
784 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

788 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
789 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

792 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
793 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
795 * Translations updated:
799 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
800 ==============================================
802 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
803 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
804 There have also been many related improvements to action group
807 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
808 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
809 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
812 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
813 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
814 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
815 through an idle on the context.
817 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
818 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
819 fixes here and there.
821 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
822 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
823 API available outside GLib
825 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

866 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
867 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
868 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
870 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
873 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
874 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
875 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
878 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
879 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
882 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
885 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
886 - various GIO file and stream fixes
887 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
889 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
890 =================================================
892 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
893 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
895 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
896 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
897 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
898 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
899 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
900 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
901 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
902 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
903 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
904 required (and has been deprecated)
905 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
906 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
907 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
908 without explicit initialisation.
909 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
910 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
911 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
913 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
914 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
915 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
916 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
917 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
918 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
919 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
921 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
922 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
923 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
924 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
925 - GThread is now a refcounted type
926 - other implementation details changed
928 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
929 deprecated/ directory.
931 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
932 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
933 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
935 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
936 platform over a year ago).
938 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
939 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
941 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
942 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
944 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
945 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
946 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
947 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
950 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
951 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
954 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
956 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
957 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
959 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
960 in a multi-threaded program
962 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
963 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
966 - drop -uninstalled variants
967 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
969 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
970 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
971 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
973 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
975 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
976 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
979 - many code generation updates and improvements
980 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
983 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
984 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
986 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
988 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
991 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
992 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
994 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
995 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
997 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
999 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1003 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1004 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1430 ==============================================
1432 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1433 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1434 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1435 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1436 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1437 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1439 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1440 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1442 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1444 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

1497 * Updated translations:
1506 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1507 ==============================================
1510 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1511 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1512 an 'object manager' pattern:
1513 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1514 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1515 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1516 And server-side implementations:
1517 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1518 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1519 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1523 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1527 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1528 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1529 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1530 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1533 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1534 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1537 * Unix-specific APIs:
1538 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1539 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1540 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1541 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1542 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1543 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1567 * Updated translations
1574 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1575 ==============================================
1578 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1579 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1580 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1583 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1584 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1585 situations has been improved
1588 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1589 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1592 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1593 match strcmp() semantics
1594 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1595 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1596 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1598 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1599 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1602 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1604 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1606 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1607 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1608 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1878 * Updated translations:
1885 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
1886 ==============================================
1888 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1889 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1894 g_get_monotonic_time
1896 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1899 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1901 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
1903 g_simple_async_result_take_error
1904 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
1905 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
1907 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

1911 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
1912 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
1914 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
1915 g_get_user_runtime_dir

1926 * Translation updates:
1934 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
1935 ==============================================
1938 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
1939 - Support environment passing
1942 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1943 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1945 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1946 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1947 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1951 158725 free linked list with data
1952 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
1953 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

1961 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
1962 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
1964 * Translation updates:
1970 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1971 ==============================================
1973 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1974 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1976 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1977 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1979 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1981 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1983 g_settings_get_range
1984 g_settings_range_check
1985 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1987 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1988 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1990 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1991 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1993 g_main_context_invoke
1994 g_main_context_invoke_full
1996 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1997 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1998 looking for default applications.
2000 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2001 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2002 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2003 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2005 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2006 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2007 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2264 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2265 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2266 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2268 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2269 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2270 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2271 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2274 There have been many other improvements, however:
2277 - vastly improved test coverage
2278 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2279 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2280 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2329 =====================================================
2331 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2332 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2333 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2334 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2335 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2336 | required (and will be along soon). |
2337 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2340 - cleanup automake setup
2341 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2342 - various docs fixups

2357 - new flags parameter for sending messages
2358 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
2359 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2360 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2361 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2362 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2365 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2369 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2370 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2373 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

2398 =====================================================
2400 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2401 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2402 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2403 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2404 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2407 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2408 -Bsymbolic-functions
2409 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2410 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2411 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2412 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2413 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2416 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2417 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2418 nobody was doing that.
2419 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2421 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2422 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2424 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2425 have a serial number
2426 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2428 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2430 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2431 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2432 has finished running on GDBus services.
2433 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2434 this due to the obvious race)
2435 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2436 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2439 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2440 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2441 arguments and different behaviour
2442 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2443 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2444 strings instead of utf8 strings
2445 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2446 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2447 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2448 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2449 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2450 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2451 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2452 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type

3105 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
3106 ===================================================
3108 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
3110 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
3112 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
3113 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
3114 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
3116 * Threading changes:
3117 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
3118 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
3120 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
3121 when g_type_init() is called.
3122 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
3125 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
3128 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

3203 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3204 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3205 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3206 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3207 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3208 while loading or saving it.
3209 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3210 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3211 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3214 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3215 interfaces to dynamic types.
3218 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3219 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

3939 ===================================================
3941 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
3942 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
3943 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
3944 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
3945 also uses less memory overall.
3947 * Make g_poll available as public api
3949 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
3950 that a GError is set or unset
3952 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
3954 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
3955 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
3957 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
3958 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

5572 =================================================
5574 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
5575 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
5576 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
5578 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
5579 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
5582 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
5583 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
5584 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
5586 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
5588 * Memory management:
5589 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
5590 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
5591 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
5592 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
5593 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
5594 never worked as intended.
5595 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
5596 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
5597 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
5598 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
5599 efficient and scalable implementation.
5600 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
5603 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
5604 unnecessary recursion.
5607 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
5608 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
5609 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
5613 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
5616 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
5617 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
