1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
2 =====================================================
4 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
5 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
6 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
7 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
8 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
9 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

257 * Translations updates:
264 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
265 ====================================================
267 * GSettings fixes/improvements
269 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
271 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
272 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
275 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
276 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
279 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
281 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
283 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
286 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
287 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
289 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
291 * Applications/Actions
293 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
294 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
297 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
298 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
300 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
301 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
302 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
303 not itself at fault for the errant call)
307 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
308 accesses that are performed in common situations
310 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
311 are installed/removed
313 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
314 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
316 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
317 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
322 - ignore qualified tags, as above
324 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
325 that test programs don't pick them up
327 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
329 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
330 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
331 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
332 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
334 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
335 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
337 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
338 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
339 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
343 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
345 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
347 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
349 Translations updated:
357 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
358 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
359 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
360 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
361 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
362 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
363 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
364 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
365 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
366 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names

368 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
369 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
370 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE

399 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
400 ====================================================
402 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
406 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
408 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
409 them can restart the application with an action (via
414 - new API for launching subprocesses
416 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
418 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
420 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
421 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
423 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
425 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
427 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
428 actions and listing apps and actions
430 - bash tab completion is supported
432 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
434 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
435 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
437 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
440 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
441 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
446 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
448 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
449 class and inotify backend
451 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
452 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
454 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
459 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
460 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
461 when there are invalid schemas installed
463 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
467 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
468 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
470 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
473 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
474 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
475 semantics of the interface in each case
477 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
478 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
480 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
482 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
483 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
484 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
485 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
489 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
492 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
494 * Portability improvements
496 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
498 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
499 actually support it (like Hurd)
501 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
503 * Other small API changes/additions
505 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
506 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
507 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
509 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
511 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
514 * GMainContext/GSource
516 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
518 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
519 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
520 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
521 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
522 broken and should probably be fixed.
524 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
525 require use of a linked list
529 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
530 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
531 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
533 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
537 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
538 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
539 gphoto, archive, at least).
541 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
543 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
546 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
547 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
548 (which shared exactly the same bug)
550 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
552 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
554 * Many documentation improvements
557 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
558 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART

612 What's new in Glib 2.38
613 ========================
615 * Application support
617 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
618 desktop entry specification
620 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
621 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
622 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
624 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
625 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
626 to launch other applications
628 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
629 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
633 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
634 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
635 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
636 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
637 any problems that this may have caused.
639 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
640 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
641 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
642 (allowing memory savings)
644 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
645 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
646 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
648 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
649 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
652 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
653 without destroying one of the objects involved
657 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
658 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
659 with a finite number of cases
661 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
662 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
664 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
665 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
666 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
667 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
670 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
674 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
675 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
676 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
678 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
680 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
681 and an API to check them
683 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
684 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
686 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
687 with most functions, but this is not recommended
691 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
692 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
693 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
696 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
697 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
698 particular directory (akin to 'du').
700 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
705 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
706 allow for regexp matching on streams
708 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
709 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
710 g_variant_new_printf()
714 - we can now generate TAP output
716 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
717 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
719 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
724 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1035 ==============================================
1037 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1038 and a parser API for them is now provided

1135 ==============================================
1137 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1138 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1139 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other

1194 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1195 ==============================================
1197 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1198 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1199 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1200 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1201 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1205 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1206 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1208 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1209 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1210 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

1230 ==============================================
1232 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1234 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1235 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1237 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1238 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1240 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1253 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1254 ==============================================
1256 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

1366 * Translation updates:
1381 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1382 ==============================================
1384 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1385 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1386 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1387 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1388 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1390 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1391 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1392 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1393 particular, are incompatible.
1395 * Bugs fixed in this release:
1396 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

1429 * Translation updates:
1440 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1441 ==============================================
1443 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1444 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1445 causing regressions in applications.
1447 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1448 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1449 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1452 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1453 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1454 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1456 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1458 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1460 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1462 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1464 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1466 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1468 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1470 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1472 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1474 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

1524 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
1525 ==============================================
1527 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1528 give feedback if they cause trouble:
1530 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
1531 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
1533 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
1535 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
1537 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
1539 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
1541 * GLib version macros updated
1543 * Update to Unicode 6.2

1894 ==============================================
1896 This release contains mostly bugfixes, cleanups and performance
1897 improvements (including many fixes contributed by Colin on the advice of
1898 Coverity). There are a few notable externally-visible changes:

2371 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2372 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2373 to an overridden property
2374 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2375 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2377 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
2378 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

2422 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2423 ==============================================
2425 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2426 moved to GtkApplication.
2428 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2429 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2430 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2431 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2433 * lots of documentation improvements
2435 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2437 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2438 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2440 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2442 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2444 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2446 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2447 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2450 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2451 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2455 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
2456 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

2462 * Translations updated:
2466 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2467 ==============================================
2469 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2470 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2471 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2474 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2475 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2476 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2479 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2480 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2481 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2482 through an idle on the context.
2484 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2485 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2486 fixes here and there.
2488 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2489 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2490 API available outside GLib

2526 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
2527 ==============================================
2529 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
2531 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
2533 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
2534 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2535 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2537 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
2540 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
2541 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
2542 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
2545 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
2546 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
2549 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
2552 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
2553 - various GIO file and stream fixes
2554 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
2556 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2557 =================================================
2559 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2560 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2562 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2563 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2564 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2565 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2566 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2567 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2568 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2569 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2570 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2571 required (and has been deprecated)
2572 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2573 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2574 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2575 without explicit initialisation.
2576 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2577 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2578 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2580 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2581 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2582 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2583 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2584 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2585 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2586 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2588 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2589 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2590 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2591 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2592 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2593 - other implementation details changed
2595 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2596 deprecated/ directory.
2598 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2599 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2600 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2602 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2603 platform over a year ago).
2605 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2606 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2608 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2609 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2611 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2612 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2613 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2614 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2617 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2618 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2621 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2623 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2624 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2626 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2627 in a multi-threaded program
2629 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2630 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2633 - drop -uninstalled variants
2634 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2636 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2637 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2638 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2640 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2642 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2643 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2646 - many code generation updates and improvements
2647 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2650 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2651 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2653 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2655 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2658 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2659 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2661 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2662 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2664 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2666 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
2670 * Partial list of bugs closed:
2671 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3096 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
3097 ==============================================
3099 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3100 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3101 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3102 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3103 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3104 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3106 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3107 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3109 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3111 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
3113 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
3115 * Introspection improvements:

3164 * Updated translations:
3173 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3174 ==============================================
3177 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3178 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3179 an 'object manager' pattern:
3180 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3181 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3182 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3183 And server-side implementations:
3184 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3185 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3186 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3190 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3194 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3195 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3196 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3197 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3200 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3201 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3204 * Unix-specific APIs:
3205 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3206 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3207 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3208 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3209 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3210 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
3213 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

3227 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
3228 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
3229 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

3232 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
3234 * Updated translations
3241 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3242 ==============================================
3245 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3246 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3247 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3250 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3251 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3252 situations has been improved
3255 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3256 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3259 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3260 match strcmp() semantics
3261 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3262 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3263 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3265 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3266 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3269 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3271 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3273 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3274 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3275 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3641 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3643 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3644 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3646 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3648 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3650 g_settings_get_range
3651 g_settings_range_check
3652 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3654 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3655 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3657 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3658 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3660 g_main_context_invoke
3661 g_main_context_invoke_full
3663 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3664 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3665 looking for default applications.
3667 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3668 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3669 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3670 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3672 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3673 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3674 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3929 =====================================================
3931 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3932 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3933 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3935 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3936 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3937 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3938 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3941 There have been many other improvements, however:
3944 - vastly improved test coverage
3945 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3946 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3947 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

3996 =====================================================
3998 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3999 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4000 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4001 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4002 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4003 | required (and will be along soon). |
4004 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4007 - cleanup automake setup
4008 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4009 - various docs fixups
4010 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
4011 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')

4016 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
4017 - add g_settings_reset()
4018 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
4021 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
4022 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
4023 - proper support for file descriptor passing
4024 - new flags parameter for sending messages
4025 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
4026 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
4027 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
4028 - constness fixes for introspection structures
4029 - clean ups to subtree registration API
4032 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

4035 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
4036 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
4037 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
4040 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
4041 617483 Credentials passing
4042 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

4064 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4065 =====================================================
4067 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4068 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4069 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4070 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4071 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4074 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4075 -Bsymbolic-functions
4076 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4077 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4078 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4079 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4080 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4083 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4084 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4085 nobody was doing that.
4086 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4088 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4089 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4091 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4092 have a serial number
4093 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4095 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4097 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4098 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4099 has finished running on GDBus services.
4100 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4101 this due to the obvious race)
4102 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4103 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4106 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4107 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4108 arguments and different behaviour
4109 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4110 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4111 strings instead of utf8 strings
4112 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4113 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4114 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4115 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4116 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4117 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4118 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4119 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4120 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4123 - improved documentation
4124 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4125 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4126 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4127 overridden using <override>.
4128 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4130 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4131 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4132 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4133 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4134 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4135 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4136 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4137 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4138 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4139 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4140 being set due to a premature free
4141 - command line tool: bash completion support
4142 - chain up in _finalize
4143 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4145 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4146 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4147 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4149 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4150 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4151 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4152 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4153 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4157 - always intern GBinding prop names
4158 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4159 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4160 - GNode docs improvements
4161 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4162 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4163 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4167 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4168 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4169 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4170 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4171 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4172 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4173 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4174 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4176 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4177 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4178 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4179 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4180 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

4867 ===================================================
4870 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
4871 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
4872 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
4873 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
4874 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
4875 while loading or saving it.
4876 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
4877 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4878 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4881 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4882 interfaces to dynamic types.
4885 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
4886 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
4887 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

5605 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
5606 ===================================================
5608 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
5609 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
5610 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
5611 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
5612 also uses less memory overall.
5614 * Make g_poll available as public api
5616 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
5617 that a GError is set or unset
5619 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
5621 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
5622 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
5624 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
5625 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
