153 ==============================================
156 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
157 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
158 to an overridden property
159 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
160 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
162 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
163 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
165 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

197 * Updated translations
207 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
208 ==============================================
210 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
211 moved to GtkApplication.
213 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
214 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
215 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
216 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
218 * lots of documentation improvements
220 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
222 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
223 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
225 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
227 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
229 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
231 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
232 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
235 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
236 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
237 664699 glib: documentation fixes
238 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
239 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
240 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
241 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
242 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
243 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
244 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
245 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
247 * Translations updated:
251 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
252 ==============================================
254 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
255 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
256 There have also been many related improvements to action group
259 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
260 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
261 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
264 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
265 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
266 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
267 through an idle on the context.
269 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
270 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
271 fixes here and there.
273 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
274 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
275 API available outside GLib
277 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

311 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
312 ==============================================
314 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
316 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
318 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
319 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
320 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
322 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
325 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
326 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
327 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
330 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
331 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
334 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
337 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
338 - various GIO file and stream fixes
339 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
341 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
342 =================================================
344 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
345 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
347 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
348 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
349 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
350 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
351 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
352 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
353 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
354 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
355 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
356 required (and has been deprecated)
357 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
358 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
359 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
360 without explicit initialisation.
361 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
362 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
363 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
365 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
366 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
367 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
368 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
369 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
370 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
371 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
373 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
374 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
375 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
376 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
377 - GThread is now a refcounted type
378 - other implementation details changed
380 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
381 deprecated/ directory.
383 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
384 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
385 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
387 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
388 platform over a year ago).
390 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
391 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
393 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
394 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
396 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
397 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
398 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
399 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
402 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
403 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
406 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
408 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
409 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
411 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
412 in a multi-threaded program
414 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
415 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
418 - drop -uninstalled variants
419 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
421 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
422 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
423 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
425 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
427 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
428 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
431 - many code generation updates and improvements
432 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
435 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
436 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
438 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
440 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
443 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
444 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
446 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
447 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
449 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
451 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
455 * Partial list of bugs closed:
456 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

882 ==============================================
884 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
885 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
886 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
887 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
888 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
889 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
891 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
892 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
894 * Access to quarks is now lockless
896 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
898 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

949 * Updated translations:
958 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
959 ==============================================
962 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
963 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
964 an 'object manager' pattern:
965 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
966 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
967 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
968 And server-side implementations:
969 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
970 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
971 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
975 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
979 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
980 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
981 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
982 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
985 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
986 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
989 * Unix-specific APIs:
990 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
991 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
992 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
993 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
994 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
995 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1019 * Updated translations
1026 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1027 ==============================================
1030 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1031 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1032 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1035 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1036 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1037 situations has been improved
1040 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1041 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1044 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1045 match strcmp() semantics
1046 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1047 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1048 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1050 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1051 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1054 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1056 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1058 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1059 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1060 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1394 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1395 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1397 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1398 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1399 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

1416 * Translation updates:
1422 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1423 ==============================================
1425 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1426 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1428 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1429 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1431 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1433 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1435 g_settings_get_range
1436 g_settings_range_check
1437 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1439 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1440 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1442 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1443 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1445 g_main_context_invoke
1446 g_main_context_invoke_full
1448 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1449 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1450 looking for default applications.
1452 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1453 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1454 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1455 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1457 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1458 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1459 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1718 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1720 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1721 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1722 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1723 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1726 There have been many other improvements, however:
1729 - vastly improved test coverage
1730 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1731 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1732 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

1783 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1784 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1785 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1786 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1787 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1788 | required (and will be along soon). |

1849 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
1850 =====================================================
1852 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1853 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1854 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1855 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1856 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1859 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1860 -Bsymbolic-functions
1861 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1862 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1863 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1864 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1865 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1868 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1869 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1870 nobody was doing that.
1871 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1873 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1874 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1876 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1877 have a serial number
1878 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1880 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1882 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1883 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1884 has finished running on GDBus services.
1885 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1886 this due to the obvious race)
1887 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1888 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1891 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1892 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1893 arguments and different behaviour
1894 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1895 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1896 strings instead of utf8 strings
1897 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1898 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1899 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1900 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1901 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1902 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1903 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1904 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1905 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1908 - improved documentation
1909 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1910 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1911 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1912 overridden using <override>.
1913 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1915 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1916 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1917 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1918 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1919 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1920 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1921 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1922 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1923 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1924 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1925 being set due to a premature free
1926 - command line tool: bash completion support
1927 - chain up in _finalize
1928 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1930 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1931 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1932 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1934 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1935 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1936 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1937 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
1938 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
1942 - always intern GBinding prop names
1943 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
1944 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1945 - GNode docs improvements
1946 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
1947 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1948 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
1952 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
1953 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
1954 - improved tests for GKeyfile
1955 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
1956 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
1957 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
1958 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
1959 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
1961 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
1962 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
1963 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1964 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
1965 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
1966 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
1967 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
1968 610784 array test failing
1969 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1970 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

2655 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
2656 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
2657 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
2658 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
2659 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
2660 while loading or saving it.
2661 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
2662 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2663 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2666 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2667 interfaces to dynamic types.
2670 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
2671 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

3397 also uses less memory overall.

5048 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
5049 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
5050 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
5051 efficient and scalable implementation.
5052 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
5055 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
5056 unnecessary recursion.

5068 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
5069 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
5070 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
5074 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
5075 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,

6037 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
6038 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
6039 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
6040 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
6041 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
6042 * Many documentation improvements.
6047 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
