102 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
103 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
104 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
106 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
107 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
108 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
109 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
112 There have been many other improvements, however:
115 - vastly improved test coverage
116 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
117 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
118 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

167 =====================================================
169 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
170 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
171 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
172 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
173 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
174 | required (and will be along soon). |
175 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

235 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
236 =====================================================
238 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
239 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
240 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
241 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
242 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
245 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
247 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
248 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
249 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
250 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
251 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
254 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
255 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
256 nobody was doing that.
257 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
259 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
260 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
262 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
264 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
266 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
268 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
269 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
270 has finished running on GDBus services.
271 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
272 this due to the obvious race)
273 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
274 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
277 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
278 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
279 arguments and different behaviour
280 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
281 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
282 strings instead of utf8 strings
283 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
284 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
285 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
286 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
287 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
288 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
289 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
290 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
291 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
294 - improved documentation
295 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
296 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
297 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
298 overridden using <override>.
299 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
301 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
302 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
303 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
304 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
305 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
306 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
307 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
308 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
309 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
310 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
311 being set due to a premature free
312 - command line tool: bash completion support
313 - chain up in _finalize
314 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
316 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
317 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
318 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
320 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
321 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
322 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
323 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
324 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
328 - always intern GBinding prop names
329 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
330 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
331 - GNode docs improvements
332 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
333 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
334 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
338 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
339 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
340 - improved tests for GKeyfile
341 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
342 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
343 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
344 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
345 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
347 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
348 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
349 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
350 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
351 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
352 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
353 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
354 610784 array test failing
355 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
356 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

374 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty
375 623720 gschema.dtd does not contain enum definitions
376 623770 quoting of expand_macro in gdesktopappinfo.c
377 623772 gdesktopappinfo.c, function child_setup

1041 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1042 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1043 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

1045 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1046 while loading or saving it.
1047 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1048 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1049 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1052 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1053 interfaces to dynamic types.

1783 also uses less memory overall.
