1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2 ==============================================
4 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
7 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
8 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
10 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
11 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
12 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
13 particular, are incompatible.
15 * Bugs fixed in this release:

65 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
66 ==============================================
68 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
69 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
70 causing regressions in applications.
72 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
73 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
74 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
77 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
78 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
79 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
81 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
83 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
85 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
87 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
89 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
91 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
93 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
95 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
97 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
99 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

153 give feedback if they cause trouble:
155 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
156 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

993 ==============================================
996 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
997 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
998 to an overridden property
999 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1000 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1002 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1003 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

1047 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1048 ==============================================
1050 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1051 moved to GtkApplication.
1053 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1054 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1055 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1056 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1058 * lots of documentation improvements
1060 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1062 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1063 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1065 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1067 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1069 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1071 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1072 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1075 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1076 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1080 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1081 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
1082 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
1083 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
1084 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1085 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1087 * Translations updated:
1091 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1092 ==============================================
1094 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1095 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1096 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1099 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1100 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1101 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1104 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1105 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1106 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1107 through an idle on the context.
1109 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1110 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1111 fixes here and there.
1113 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1114 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1115 API available outside GLib
1117 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1159 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1160 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1162 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

1181 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1182 =================================================
1184 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1185 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1187 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1188 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1189 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1190 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1191 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1192 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1193 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1194 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1195 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1196 required (and has been deprecated)
1197 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1198 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1199 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1200 without explicit initialisation.
1201 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1202 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1203 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1205 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1206 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1207 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1208 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1209 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1210 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1211 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1213 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1214 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1215 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1216 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1217 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1218 - other implementation details changed
1220 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1221 deprecated/ directory.
1223 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1224 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1225 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1227 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1228 platform over a year ago).
1230 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1231 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1233 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1234 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1236 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1237 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1238 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1239 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1242 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1243 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1246 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1248 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1249 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1251 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1252 in a multi-threaded program
1254 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1255 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).

1722 ==============================================
1724 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1725 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1726 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1727 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1728 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1729 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1731 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1732 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1734 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1736 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

1805 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1806 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1807 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1808 And server-side implementations:
1809 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1810 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1811 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1815 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1819 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1820 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1821 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1822 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1825 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1826 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1829 * Unix-specific APIs:
1830 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1831 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1832 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1833 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1834 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1835 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1866 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1867 ==============================================
1870 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1871 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1872 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1875 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1876 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1877 situations has been improved
1880 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1881 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1884 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1885 match strcmp() semantics
1886 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1887 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1888 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1890 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1891 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1894 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1896 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1898 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1899 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1900 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2141 - Mounts are treated as hidden if they have a path element
2142 that starts with a dot
2143 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
2144 and fallback mime handlers
2145 - g_cancellable_create_source: creates a GSource that triggers

2177 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
2178 ==============================================
2180 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2181 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2186 g_get_monotonic_time
2188 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2191 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2193 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2195 g_simple_async_result_take_error

2231 - Support environment passing
2234 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2235 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2237 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2238 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2239 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2243 158725 free linked list with data
2244 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

2253 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
2254 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
2256 * Translation updates:
2262 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2263 ==============================================
2265 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2266 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2268 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2269 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2271 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2273 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2275 g_settings_get_range
2276 g_settings_range_check
2277 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2279 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2280 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2282 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2283 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2285 g_main_context_invoke
2286 g_main_context_invoke_full
2288 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2289 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2290 looking for default applications.
2292 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2293 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2294 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2295 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2297 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2298 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2299 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2556 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2557 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2558 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2560 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2561 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2562 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2563 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2566 There have been many other improvements, however:
2569 - vastly improved test coverage
2570 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2571 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2572 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2621 =====================================================
2623 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2624 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2625 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2626 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2627 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2628 | required (and will be along soon). |
2629 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2632 - cleanup automake setup
2633 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2634 - various docs fixups

2652 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2653 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2654 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2657 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2689 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2690 =====================================================
2692 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2693 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2694 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2695 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2696 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2699 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2700 -Bsymbolic-functions
2701 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2702 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2703 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2704 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2705 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2708 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2709 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2710 nobody was doing that.
2711 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2713 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2714 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2716 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2717 have a serial number
2718 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2720 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2722 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2723 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2724 has finished running on GDBus services.
2725 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2726 this due to the obvious race)
2727 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2728 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2731 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2732 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2733 arguments and different behaviour
2734 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2735 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2736 strings instead of utf8 strings
2737 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2738 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2739 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2740 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2741 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2742 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2743 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2744 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2745 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2748 - improved documentation
2749 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2750 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2751 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2752 overridden using <override>.
2753 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2755 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2756 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2757 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2758 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2759 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2760 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2761 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2762 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2763 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2764 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2765 being set due to a premature free
2766 - command line tool: bash completion support
2767 - chain up in _finalize
2768 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2770 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2771 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2772 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2774 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2775 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2776 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2777 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2778 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2782 - always intern GBinding prop names
2783 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2784 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2785 - GNode docs improvements
2786 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2787 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2788 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2792 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2793 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2794 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2795 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2796 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2797 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2798 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2799 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2801 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2802 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2803 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2804 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2805 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2806 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2807 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
2808 610784 array test failing
2809 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2810 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
2811 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
2812 622124 implement flags
2813 622127 GSettings extended key validation
2814 622128 retry with default value for failed mapping
2815 622294 More annotations for GVariant
2816 622565 glib-compile-schemas fails when no schemas

3502 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3503 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3506 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3507 interfaces to dynamic types.

4234 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4235 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4236 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4237 also uses less memory overall.
4239 * Make g_poll available as public api
4241 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4242 that a GError is set or unset
4244 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4246 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4247 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4249 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
