125 #1506 error: redefinition of typedef 'GKqueueFileMonitor'
127 * Translation updates:
137 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
138 ==================================
140 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
141 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
142 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
143 with Meson or autotools. See:
144 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
146 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
148 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
149 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
151 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
153 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
155 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
156 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
157 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
158 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
161 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
162 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
163 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
164 !265 Network monitor again
165 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file

168 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
169 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
170 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
172 * Translation updates:
182 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
183 ==================================
185 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
186 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
187 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
188 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
190 * Many minor documentation fixes.
192 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
194 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
196 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
198 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
199 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
201 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
203 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
204 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
205 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
208 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
210 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
213 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
214 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
215 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
216 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
217 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback

219 !251 gtestdbus: Fix watcher crash on FreeBSD
220 #1492 gcc-8: -Wcast-function-type: new warnings for g_list_copy_deep()

229 #1488 ‘O_CLOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
230 !241 glib-mkenums: forbid @filename@/@basename@ in fhead and ftail
231 !240 gtimer: Ensure arithmetic is correctly signed for ISO 8601 parsing

233 !234 DOC: Documentation fix in GTask description
234 #1363 Meson: Review cross compilation properties

236 !230 gbookmarkfile: Fix some more minor leaks when metadata elements are repeated
237 !229 Fix up g_bytes_compare() documentation
238 #1476 g_stat - possbile memory corruption causing SEGFAULT
239 !199 Update TLS documentation
240 #1474 g_test_incomplete() makes test_case_run() return FALSE
241 #1475 glib/tests/atomic.c test_types() trips -Werror=bad-function-cast on Debian armel
242 #1472 Test for BROKEN_IP_MREQ_SOURCE_STRUCT is broken on Windows / Mingw
243 !220 date test: Use g_test_skip(), not g_test_incomplete()
244 #1467 malloc difference causes refstring test to fail on FreeBSD
245 !230 gbookmarkfile: Fix some more minor leaks when metadata elements are repeated
246 #1466 Not Able to Build glib 2.57.2 in Mingw-w64 x64 bits
247 #1433 test_posix_parse: assertion failed (g_time_zone_get_abbreviation (tz, 0) == "UTC"): ("LMT" == "UTC")
248 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
249 !206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
250 #1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error
251 !72 gio: icons should fallback to non-preferred style appropriately.

1397 environment variable.

1619 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1620 ==================================
1622 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1623 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1624 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1625 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1627 This release corrects only this problem.
1629 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1630 ==================================
1632 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1633 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1634 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1636 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1982 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1983 ==================================
1985 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1986 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1987 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1988 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1989 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1990 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1992 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1993 have seen major improvements.
1995 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1996 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1997 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2000 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2002 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2004 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2006 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2007 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2008 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2009 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2010 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2011 you use the --strict option.
2013 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2014 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2015 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2017 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2019 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2020 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2021 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2107 before the release of 2.44.0.
2109 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2111 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2112 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2113 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2114 default in the next cycle.

2167 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
2168 effective busy state.

2708 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
2709 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2710 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2711 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2959 * Translations updates:
2966 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2967 ====================================================
2969 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2971 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2973 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2974 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2977 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2978 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2981 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2983 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2985 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2988 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2989 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2991 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2993 * Applications/Actions
2995 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2996 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2999 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3000 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3002 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3003 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3004 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3005 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3009 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3010 accesses that are performed in common situations
3012 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3013 are installed/removed
3015 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3016 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3018 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3019 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3024 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3026 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3027 that test programs don't pick them up
3029 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3031 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3032 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3033 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3034 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3036 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3037 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3039 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3040 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3041 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3045 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3047 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3049 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3051 Translations updated:

3070 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3071 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3101 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3102 ====================================================
3104 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3108 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3110 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3111 them can restart the application with an action (via
3116 - new API for launching subprocesses
3118 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3120 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3122 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3123 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3125 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3127 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3129 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3130 actions and listing apps and actions
3132 - bash tab completion is supported
3134 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3136 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3137 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3139 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3140 DBusActivatable=true
3142 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3143 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3148 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3150 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3151 class and inotify backend
3153 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3154 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3156 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3161 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3162 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3163 when there are invalid schemas installed
3165 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3169 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3170 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3172 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3175 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3176 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3177 semantics of the interface in each case
3179 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3180 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3182 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3184 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3185 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3186 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3187 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3191 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3194 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3196 * Portability improvements
3198 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3200 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3201 actually support it (like Hurd)
3203 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3205 * Other small API changes/additions
3207 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3208 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3209 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3211 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3213 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3214 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3216 * GMainContext/GSource
3218 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3220 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3221 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3222 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3223 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3224 broken and should probably be fixed.
3226 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3227 require use of a linked list
3231 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3232 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3233 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3235 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3239 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3240 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3241 gphoto, archive, at least).
3243 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3245 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3248 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3249 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3250 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3252 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3254 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3256 * Many documentation improvements
3259 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

3315 ========================
3317 * Application support
3319 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3320 desktop entry specification
3322 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3323 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3324 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3326 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3327 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3328 to launch other applications
3330 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3331 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3335 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3336 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3337 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3338 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3339 any problems that this may have caused.
3341 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3342 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3343 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3344 (allowing memory savings)
3346 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3347 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3348 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3350 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3351 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3354 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3355 without destroying one of the objects involved
3359 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3360 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3361 with a finite number of cases
3363 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3364 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3366 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3367 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3368 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3369 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3372 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3376 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3377 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3378 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3380 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3382 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3383 and an API to check them
3385 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3386 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3388 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3389 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3393 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3394 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3395 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3398 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3399 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3400 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3402 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3407 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3408 allow for regexp matching on streams
3410 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3411 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3412 g_variant_new_printf()
3416 - we can now generate TAP output
3418 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3419 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3421 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3426 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3552 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3553 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3554 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

3695 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3697 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3699 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3701 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

3736 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3737 ==============================================
3739 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3740 and a parser API for them is now provided
3742 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3743 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3744 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3837 ==============================================
3839 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3840 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3841 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3842 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3896 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3897 ==============================================
3899 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3900 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3901 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3902 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3903 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3907 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3908 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3910 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3911 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3912 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3913 * documentation fixes
3914 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3917 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3931 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3932 ==============================================
3934 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3936 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3937 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3939 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3940 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3942 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3955 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3956 ==============================================
3958 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3961 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3962 ready at a specified monotonic time
3964 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3966 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3969 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3970 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

4068 * Translation updates:
4083 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4084 ==============================================
4086 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4087 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4088 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4089 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4090 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4092 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4093 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4094 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4095 particular, are incompatible.
4097 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4142 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4143 ==============================================
4145 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4146 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4147 causing regressions in applications.
4149 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4150 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4151 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4154 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4155 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4156 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4158 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4160 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4162 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4164 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4166 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4168 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4170 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4172 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4174 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4176 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4226 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
4227 ==============================================
4229 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4230 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4232 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4233 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4235 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4237 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
4239 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
4241 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
4243 * GLib version macros updated
4245 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4595 Overview of changes from GLib 2.33.2 to 2.33.3
4596 ==============================================
4598 This release contains mostly bugfixes, cleanups and performance
4599 improvements (including many fixes contributed by Colin on the advice of
4600 Coverity). There are a few notable externally-visible changes:
4602 * Thumbnails are now in XDG_CACHE_HOME

5070 ==============================================
5073 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5074 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5075 to an overridden property
5076 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5077 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5079 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5080 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

5124 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5125 ==============================================
5127 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5128 moved to GtkApplication.
5130 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5131 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5132 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5133 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5135 * lots of documentation improvements
5137 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5139 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5140 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5142 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5144 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5146 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5148 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5149 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5152 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5153 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5157 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5158 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
5159 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped

5164 * Translations updated:
5168 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5169 ==============================================
5171 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5172 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5173 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5176 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5177 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5178 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5181 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5182 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5183 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5184 through an idle on the context.
5186 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5187 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5188 fixes here and there.
5190 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5191 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5192 API available outside GLib
5194 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5228 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
5229 ==============================================
5231 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
5233 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
5235 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
5236 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5237 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5239 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5242 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5243 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
5244 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
5247 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
5248 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
5251 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
5254 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
5255 - various GIO file and stream fixes
5256 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
5258 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5259 =================================================
5261 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5262 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5264 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5265 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5266 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5267 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5268 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5269 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5270 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5271 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5272 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5273 required (and has been deprecated)
5274 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5275 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5276 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5277 without explicit initialisation.
5278 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5279 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5280 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5282 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5283 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5284 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5285 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5286 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5287 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5288 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5290 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5291 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5292 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5293 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5294 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5295 - other implementation details changed
5297 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5298 deprecated/ directory.
5300 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5301 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5302 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5304 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5305 platform over a year ago).
5307 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5308 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5310 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5311 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5313 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5314 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5315 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5316 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5319 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5320 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5323 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5325 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5326 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5328 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5329 in a multi-threaded program
5331 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5332 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5335 - drop -uninstalled variants
5336 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5338 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5339 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5340 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5342 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5344 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5345 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5348 - many code generation updates and improvements
5349 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5352 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5353 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5355 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5357 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5360 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5361 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5363 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5364 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5366 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5368 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5372 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5373 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5798 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5799 ==============================================
5801 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5802 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5803 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5804 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5805 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5806 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5808 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5809 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5811 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5813 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5815 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
5817 * Introspection improvements:

5866 * Updated translations:
5875 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5876 ==============================================
5879 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5880 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5881 an 'object manager' pattern:
5882 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5883 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5884 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5885 And server-side implementations:
5886 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5887 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5888 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5892 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5896 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5897 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5898 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5899 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5902 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5903 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5906 * Unix-specific APIs:
5907 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5908 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5909 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5910 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5911 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5912 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
5915 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
5916 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

5926 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
5927 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
5928 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
5929 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
5930 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
5931 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
5932 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
5933 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
5934 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
5936 * Updated translations
5943 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5944 ==============================================
5947 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5948 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5949 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5952 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5953 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5954 situations has been improved
5957 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5958 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5961 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5962 match strcmp() semantics
5963 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5964 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5965 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5967 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5968 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5971 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5973 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5975 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5976 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5977 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6357 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6359 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6360 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6362 g_main_context_invoke
6363 g_main_context_invoke_full
6365 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6366 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6367 looking for default applications.
6369 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6370 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6371 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6372 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6374 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6375 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6376 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6631 =====================================================
6633 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6634 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6635 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6637 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6638 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6639 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6640 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6643 There have been many other improvements, however:
6646 - vastly improved test coverage
6647 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6648 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6649 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

6698 =====================================================
6700 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6701 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6702 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6703 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6704 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6705 | required (and will be along soon). |
6706 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6709 - cleanup automake setup
6710 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6711 - various docs fixups
6712 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
6713 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')

6718 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
6719 - add g_settings_reset()
6720 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
6723 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

6725 - proper support for file descriptor passing
6726 - new flags parameter for sending messages
6727 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
6728 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
6729 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6730 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6731 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6734 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6737 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
6738 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
6739 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
6742 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
6743 617483 Credentials passing
6744 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

6766 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6767 =====================================================
6769 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6770 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6771 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6772 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6773 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6776 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6777 -Bsymbolic-functions
6778 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6779 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6780 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6781 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6782 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6785 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6786 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6787 nobody was doing that.
6788 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6790 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6791 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6793 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6794 have a serial number
6795 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6797 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6799 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6800 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6801 has finished running on GDBus services.
6802 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6803 this due to the obvious race)
6804 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6805 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6808 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6809 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6810 arguments and different behaviour
6811 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6812 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6813 strings instead of utf8 strings
6814 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6815 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6816 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6817 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6818 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6819 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6820 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6821 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6822 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6825 - improved documentation
6826 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6827 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6828 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6829 overridden using <override>.
6830 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6832 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6833 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6834 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6835 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6836 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6837 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6838 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6839 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6840 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6841 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6842 being set due to a premature free
6843 - command line tool: bash completion support
6844 - chain up in _finalize
6845 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6847 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6848 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6849 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6851 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6852 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6853 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6854 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6855 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6859 - always intern GBinding prop names
6860 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6861 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6862 - GNode docs improvements
6863 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6864 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6865 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6869 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6870 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6871 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6872 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6873 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6874 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6875 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6876 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6878 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6879 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6880 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6881 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6882 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

7569 ===================================================
7572 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7573 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7574 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7575 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7576 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7577 while loading or saving it.
7578 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7579 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7580 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7583 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7584 interfaces to dynamic types.
7587 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7588 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
7589 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
