5 storage inside an integer: g_bit_lock()

27 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
28 ===================================================
30 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
32 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
34 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
35 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
36 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
39 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
40 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
42 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
43 when g_type_init() is called.
44 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
47 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
50 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

122 ===================================================
125 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
126 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
127 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
128 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
129 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
130 while loading or saving it.
131 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
132 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
133 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
136 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
137 interfaces to dynamic types.

141 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

860 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
861 ===================================================
863 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
864 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
865 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
866 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
867 also uses less memory overall.
869 * Make g_poll available as public api
871 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
872 that a GError is set or unset
874 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
876 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
877 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
879 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
880 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2494 =================================================
2496 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
2497 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
2498 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
2500 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
2501 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
2504 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
2505 These functions handle negative offsets now, and

2514 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
2515 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
2516 never worked as intended.
2517 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
2518 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
2519 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
2520 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
2521 efficient and scalable implementation.
2522 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
2525 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
2526 unnecessary recursion.

2531 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
2535 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
2538 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
2539 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
2540 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2544 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2545 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
2546 since they are in glib.h

2568 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]
