5 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
9 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
10 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
11 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
14 There have been many other improvements, however:
17 - vastly improved test coverage
18 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
19 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
20 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
23 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
26 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
27 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
28 - improve debug output, add some extra options
29 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message

32 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
34 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
37 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
38 without mapping functions

71 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
72 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
73 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
74 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
75 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
76 | required (and will be along soon). |

137 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
138 =====================================================
140 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
141 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
142 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
143 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
144 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
147 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
149 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
150 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
151 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
152 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
153 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
156 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
157 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
158 nobody was doing that.
159 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
161 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
162 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
164 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
166 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
168 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
170 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
171 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
172 has finished running on GDBus services.
173 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
174 this due to the obvious race)
175 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
176 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
179 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
180 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
181 arguments and different behaviour
182 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
183 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
184 strings instead of utf8 strings
185 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
186 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
187 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
188 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
189 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
190 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
191 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
192 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
193 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
196 - improved documentation
197 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
198 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
199 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
200 overridden using <override>.
201 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
203 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
204 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
205 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
206 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
207 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
208 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
209 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
210 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
211 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
212 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
213 being set due to a premature free
214 - command line tool: bash completion support
215 - chain up in _finalize
216 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
218 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
219 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
220 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
222 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
223 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
224 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
225 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
226 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
230 - always intern GBinding prop names
231 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
232 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
233 - GNode docs improvements
234 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
235 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
236 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
240 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check

242 - improved tests for GKeyfile
243 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
244 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
245 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
246 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
247 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
249 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
250 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
251 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
252 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
253 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
254 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
255 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
256 610784 array test failing
257 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

943 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
944 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
945 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
946 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
947 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
948 while loading or saving it.
949 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
950 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
951 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
954 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
955 interfaces to dynamic types.

1697 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1698 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
