173 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
174 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
175 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
176 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

244 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
245 ==================================
247 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
248 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
249 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
250 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
252 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
253 directory for each unit test. (#538)
255 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
257 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
259 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
261 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
262 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
263 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
264 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
266 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
267 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
269 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
270 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
271 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
273 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
275 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
276 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
279 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
280 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
282 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
283 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
284 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
286 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
287 portal backends. (!317)
289 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
292 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
294 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
297 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
299 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
302 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
303 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
304 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
306 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
307 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
309 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
310 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
311 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
312 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
314 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
316 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

525 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
526 ==================================
528 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
529 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
530 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
531 with Meson or autotools. See:
532 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
534 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
536 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
537 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
539 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
541 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
543 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
544 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
545 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
546 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
549 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
550 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
551 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
552 !265 Network monitor again
553 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
554 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
555 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
556 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
557 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
558 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
560 * Translation updates:
570 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
571 ==================================
573 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
574 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
575 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
576 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
578 * Many minor documentation fixes.
580 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
582 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
584 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
586 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
587 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
589 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
591 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
592 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
593 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
596 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
598 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
601 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
602 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

1773 ==================================
1775 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1776 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1777 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1778 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1780 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1781 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1782 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1784 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1785 environment variable.
1787 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1788 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1950 is unavailable or undesired.
1952 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

2007 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2008 ==================================
2010 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2011 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2012 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2013 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2015 This release corrects only this problem.
2017 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2018 ==================================
2020 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2021 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around

2370 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2371 ==================================
2373 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2374 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2375 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2376 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2377 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2378 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2380 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2381 have seen major improvements.
2383 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2384 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2385 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2388 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2390 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2392 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2394 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2395 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2396 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2397 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2398 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2399 you use the --strict option.
2401 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2402 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2403 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2405 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2407 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2408 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2409 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2549 ===================================
2551 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro

3098 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3099 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

3347 * Translations updates:
3354 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3355 ====================================================
3357 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3359 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3361 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3362 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3365 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3366 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3369 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3371 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3373 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3376 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3377 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3379 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3381 * Applications/Actions
3383 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3384 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3387 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3388 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3390 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3391 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3392 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3393 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3397 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3398 accesses that are performed in common situations
3400 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3401 are installed/removed
3403 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3404 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3406 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3407 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3412 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3414 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3415 that test programs don't pick them up
3417 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3419 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3420 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3421 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3422 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3424 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3425 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3427 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3428 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3429 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3433 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3435 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3437 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3439 Translations updated:
3447 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3450 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
3451 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
3452 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
3453 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is

3455 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
3456 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
3457 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3458 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3459 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3489 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3490 ====================================================
3492 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3496 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3498 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3499 them can restart the application with an action (via
3504 - new API for launching subprocesses
3506 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3508 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3510 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3511 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3513 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3515 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3517 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3518 actions and listing apps and actions
3520 - bash tab completion is supported
3522 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3524 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3525 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3527 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3528 DBusActivatable=true
3530 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3531 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3536 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3538 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3539 class and inotify backend
3541 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3542 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3544 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3549 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3550 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3551 when there are invalid schemas installed
3553 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3557 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3558 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3560 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3563 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3564 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3565 semantics of the interface in each case
3567 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3568 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3570 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3572 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3573 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3574 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3575 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3579 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3582 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3584 * Portability improvements
3586 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3588 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3589 actually support it (like Hurd)
3591 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3593 * Other small API changes/additions
3595 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3596 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3597 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3599 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3601 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3602 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3604 * GMainContext/GSource
3606 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3608 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3609 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3610 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3611 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3612 broken and should probably be fixed.
3614 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3615 require use of a linked list
3619 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3620 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3621 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3623 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3627 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3628 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3629 gphoto, archive, at least).
3631 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3633 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3636 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3637 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3638 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3640 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3642 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3644 * Many documentation improvements
3647 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3648 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3649 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3702 What's new in Glib 2.38
3703 ========================
3705 * Application support
3707 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3708 desktop entry specification
3710 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3711 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3712 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3714 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3715 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3716 to launch other applications
3718 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3719 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3723 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3724 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3725 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3726 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3727 any problems that this may have caused.
3729 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3730 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3731 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3732 (allowing memory savings)
3734 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3735 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3736 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3738 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3739 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3742 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3743 without destroying one of the objects involved
3747 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3748 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3749 with a finite number of cases
3751 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3752 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3754 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3755 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3756 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3757 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3760 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3764 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3765 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3766 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3768 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3770 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3771 and an API to check them
3773 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3774 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3776 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3777 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3781 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3782 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3783 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3786 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3787 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3788 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3790 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3795 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3796 allow for regexp matching on streams
3798 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3799 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3800 g_variant_new_printf()
3804 - we can now generate TAP output
3806 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3807 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3809 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3814 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4036 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
4038 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
4039 and will trigger a warning.

4083 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
4085 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
4087 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
4089 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

4124 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
4125 ==============================================
4127 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4128 and a parser API for them is now provided
4130 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4131 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4132 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4224 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
4225 ==============================================
4227 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4228 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4229 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4230 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4284 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4285 ==============================================
4287 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4288 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4289 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4290 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4291 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4295 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4296 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4298 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4299 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4300 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4301 * documentation fixes
4302 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4305 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

4319 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4320 ==============================================
4322 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4324 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4325 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4327 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4328 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4330 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4343 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4344 ==============================================
4346 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
4349 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
4350 ready at a specified monotonic time
4352 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4354 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
4357 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
4358 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

4456 * Translation updates:
4471 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4472 ==============================================
4474 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4475 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4476 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4477 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4478 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4480 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4481 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4482 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4483 particular, are incompatible.
4485 * Bugs fixed in this release:
4486 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

4530 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4531 ==============================================
4533 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4534 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4535 causing regressions in applications.
4537 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4538 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4539 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4542 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4543 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4544 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4546 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4548 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4550 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4552 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4554 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4556 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4558 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4560 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4562 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4564 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4614 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
4615 ==============================================
4617 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4618 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4620 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4621 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4623 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4625 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
4627 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
4629 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
4631 * GLib version macros updated
4633 * Update to Unicode 6.2

5307 which can be set to make GDBus automatically reload
5308 changed properties even if the propertychanged signal
5309 does not contain the new values.

5452 * Translation updates:
5457 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
5458 ==============================================
5461 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5462 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5463 to an overridden property
5464 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5465 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5467 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5468 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

5512 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5513 ==============================================
5515 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5516 moved to GtkApplication.
5518 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5519 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5520 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5521 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5523 * lots of documentation improvements
5525 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5527 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5528 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5530 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5532 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5534 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5536 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5537 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5540 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5541 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5543 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
5544 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
5545 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5546 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
5547 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
5548 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
5549 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
5550 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
5552 * Translations updated:
5556 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5557 ==============================================
5559 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5560 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5561 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5564 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5565 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5566 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5569 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5570 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5571 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5572 through an idle on the context.
5574 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5575 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5576 fixes here and there.
5578 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5579 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5580 API available outside GLib
5582 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5616 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
5617 ==============================================
5619 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
5621 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
5623 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
5624 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5625 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5627 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5630 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5631 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
5632 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
5635 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
5636 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
5639 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
5642 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
5643 - various GIO file and stream fixes
5644 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
5646 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5647 =================================================
5649 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5650 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5652 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5653 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5654 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5655 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5656 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5657 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5658 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5659 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5660 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5661 required (and has been deprecated)
5662 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5663 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5664 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5665 without explicit initialisation.
5666 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5667 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5668 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5670 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5671 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5672 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5673 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5674 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5675 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5676 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5678 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5679 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5680 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5681 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5682 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5683 - other implementation details changed
5685 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5686 deprecated/ directory.
5688 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5689 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5690 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5692 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5693 platform over a year ago).
5695 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5696 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5698 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5699 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5701 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5702 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5703 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5704 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5707 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5708 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5711 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5713 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5714 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5716 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5717 in a multi-threaded program
5719 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5720 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5723 - drop -uninstalled variants
5724 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5726 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5727 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5728 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5730 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5732 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5733 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5736 - many code generation updates and improvements
5737 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5740 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5741 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5743 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5745 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5748 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5749 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5751 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5752 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5754 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5756 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5760 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5761 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6186 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6187 ==============================================
6189 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6190 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6191 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6192 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6193 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6194 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6196 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6197 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6199 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6201 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6203 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
6205 * Introspection improvements:
6206 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder
6207 - Annotation fixes in GDBus, GVariant, g_base64_

6254 * Updated translations:
6263 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6264 ==============================================
6267 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6268 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6269 an 'object manager' pattern:
6270 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6271 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6272 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6273 And server-side implementations:
6274 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6275 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6276 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6280 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6284 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6285 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6286 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6287 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6290 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6291 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6294 * Unix-specific APIs:
6295 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6296 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6297 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6298 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6299 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6300 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
6303 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
6304 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

6308 643134 g_dbus_message_copy
6309 644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
6310 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
6311 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
6312 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
6313 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
6314 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
6315 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
6316 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
6317 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
6318 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
6319 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
6320 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
6321 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
6322 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6324 * Updated translations
6331 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6332 ==============================================
6335 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6336 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6337 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6340 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6341 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6342 situations has been improved
6345 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6346 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6349 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6350 match strcmp() semantics
6351 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6352 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6353 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6355 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6356 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6359 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6361 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6363 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6364 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6365 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6643 ==============================================
6645 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6646 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6651 g_get_monotonic_time
6653 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6656 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6658 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
6660 g_simple_async_result_take_error
6661 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
6662 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
6664 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
6667 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
6668 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
6669 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE

6695 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6696 - Support environment passing
6699 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6700 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6702 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6703 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6704 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6708 158725 free linked list with data
6709 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

6718 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
6719 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
6721 * Translation updates:
6727 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6728 ==============================================
6730 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6731 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6733 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6734 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6736 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6738 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6740 g_settings_get_range
6741 g_settings_range_check
6742 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6744 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6745 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6747 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6748 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6750 g_main_context_invoke
6751 g_main_context_invoke_full
6753 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6754 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6755 looking for default applications.
6757 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6758 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,

6760 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.

7019 =====================================================
7021 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7022 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7023 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7025 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7026 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7027 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7028 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7031 There have been many other improvements, however:
7034 - vastly improved test coverage
7035 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7036 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7037 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

7086 =====================================================
7088 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7089 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7090 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7091 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7092 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7093 | required (and will be along soon). |
7094 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7097 - cleanup automake setup
7098 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7099 - various docs fixups
7100 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7106 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
7107 - add g_settings_reset()
7108 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
7111 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

7117 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7118 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7119 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7122 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7126 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
7127 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
7130 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
7131 617483 Credentials passing

7154 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7155 =====================================================
7157 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7158 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7159 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7160 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7161 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7164 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7165 -Bsymbolic-functions
7166 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7167 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7168 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7169 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7170 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7173 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7174 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7175 nobody was doing that.
7176 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7178 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7179 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7181 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7182 have a serial number
7183 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7185 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7187 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7188 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7189 has finished running on GDBus services.
7190 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7191 this due to the obvious race)
7192 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7193 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7196 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7197 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7198 arguments and different behaviour
7199 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7200 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7201 strings instead of utf8 strings
7202 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7203 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7204 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7205 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7206 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7207 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7208 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7209 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7210 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7213 - improved documentation
7214 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7215 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7216 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7217 overridden using <override>.
7218 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7220 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7221 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7222 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7223 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7224 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7225 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7226 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7227 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7228 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7229 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7230 being set due to a premature free
7231 - command line tool: bash completion support
7232 - chain up in _finalize
7233 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7235 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7236 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7237 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7239 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7240 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7241 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7242 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7243 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7247 - always intern GBinding prop names
7248 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7249 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7250 - GNode docs improvements
7251 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7252 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7253 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7257 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7258 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7259 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7260 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7261 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7262 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7263 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7264 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7266 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7267 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7268 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7269 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7270 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7271 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7272 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

7957 ===================================================
7960 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7961 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7962 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7963 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7964 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7965 while loading or saving it.
7966 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7967 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7968 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7971 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7972 interfaces to dynamic types.
7975 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7976 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
7977 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10329 =================================================
10331 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10332 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10333 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10335 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10336 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10339 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10340 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10341 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10342 "stutter stepping".
10343 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10345 * Memory management:
10346 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10347 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10348 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10349 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10350 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10351 never worked as intended.
10352 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10353 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10354 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10355 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10356 efficient and scalable implementation.
10357 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10359 * Pattern matching:
10360 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10361 unnecessary recursion.
10364 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10365 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10366 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10369 * g_thread_foreach:
10370 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10373 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10374 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10375 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10379 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10380 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10381 since they are in glib.h
