675 `free_sized()` function in C23; use these if porting away from `g_slice_free()`
676 (!3231, work by Philip Withnall)
678 * Fix underspecified dependencies on generated headers in `meson.build`, which
679 should reduce spurious build failures (!3260, work by Eli Schwartz)

846 `-Druntime_dir=/some/path` at configure time — the default is `/run`, which
847 should work for all users except distributions where `/run` is not equivalent
848 to `/var/run`. OS distributors should check that this configured path matches
849 the runtime directory configured for their D-Bus daemon. (work by

1320 Christian Hergert) (#2708)
1322 * Support compilation without a C++ toolchain (work by James Hilliard) (!2822)
1324 * GDBus: Use namespace-friendly protocol for Linux message buses, and optionally

1332 (!2818, !2819, #2682)
1334 * Executables that are invoked when installing other software, typically
1335 from packaging system triggers, can now be installed into
1336 architecture-dependent locations. Unix OS distributors who install
1337 GLib for more than one architecture in parallel (multiarch or multilib
1338 installations) should consider building with -Dmultiarch=true, installing
1339 the bin/glib-compile-schemas and bin/gio-querymodules symbolic links in
1340 packages for the primary architecture, and omitting those symlinks from
1341 packages for secondary architectures. (work by Simon McVittie) (!2818)
1343 * Some enumerators introduced in previous releases have been changed, for better
1344 introspection results:
1345 - G_MARKUP_PARSE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_MARKUP_DEFAULT_FLAGS
1346 - G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_NO_FLAGS
1347 - G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE was deprecated, use G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS now

1355 * Improve default value of glib_debug option: G_ENABLE_DEBUG will be defined
1356 only if using `--buildtype=debug` or enabled via `-Dglib_debug`, but it
1357 won't ever be set if an optimized build is requested (specifically if the
1358 optimization level is not `0` or `g`) as it may be the case when using
1359 `--buildtype=debugoptimized` (work by Michael Catanzaro) (!2851)

3031 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
3032 ==================================
3034 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
3035 which makes error checking easier (#553)
3037 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
3038 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
3039 variables, or mostly anything else (see
3040 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
3042 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
3043 Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)
3045 * Add `g_assert_cmpstrv()` test convenience function (work by Niels De Graef) (#2015)

3050 * Add new `--run-prefix` and `--skip-prefix` options to GTest, to allow running
3051 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
3053 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
3054 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
3055 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
3056 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
3057 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
3058 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`
3059 (work by Sebastian Dröge) (!1745)

4018 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
4020 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing

4030 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
4031 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
4033 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
4035 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)

4195 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
4196 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
4198 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
4199 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
4201 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
4202 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
4204 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
4205 third-party code should now be using

4222 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
4224 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
4225 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
4227 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
4229 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
4230 of packaged libraries (!951)
4232 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

4386 * Add pre-allocated link helpers for `GList` and `GQueue`:
4387 - `g_list_insert_before_link()`
4388 - `g_queue_insert_before_link()`
4389 - `g_queue_insert_after_link()`
4391 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
4392 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)
4394 * Add `g_clear_signal_handler()` to allow disconnecting from a `GObject` signal
4395 and clearing the signal handler ID to zero in a single call (!819)
4397 * Add `g_autoptr()` support for `GRWLock` (!825)
4399 * Define `G_OS_UNIX`, not `G_OS_WIN32`, when GLib is built agains Cygwin (!862)

4484 `GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)

4704 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
4705 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
4706 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

4774 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
4775 ==================================
4777 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
4778 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
4779 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
4780 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
4782 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
4783 directory for each unit test. (#538)
4785 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
4787 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
4789 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
4791 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
4792 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
4793 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
4794 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
4796 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
4797 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
4799 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
4800 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
4801 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
4803 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
4805 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
4806 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
4809 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
4810 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
4812 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
4813 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
4814 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
4816 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
4817 portal backends. (!317)
4819 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
4822 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
4824 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
4827 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
4829 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
4832 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
4833 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
4834 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
4836 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
4837 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
4839 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
4840 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
4841 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
4842 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)

5055 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
5056 ==================================
5058 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
5059 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
5060 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
5061 with Meson or autotools. See:
5062 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
5064 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
5066 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
5067 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
5069 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
5071 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
5073 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
5074 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
5075 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
5076 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
5079 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
5080 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
5081 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
5082 !265 Network monitor again
5083 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
5084 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
5085 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
5086 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
5087 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
5088 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
5090 * Translation updates:
5100 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
5101 ==================================
5103 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
5104 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
5105 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
5106 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
5108 * Many minor documentation fixes.
5110 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
5112 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
5114 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
5116 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
5117 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
5119 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
5121 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
5122 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
5123 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
5126 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
5128 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
5131 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
5132 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

6302 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
6303 ==================================
6305 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
6306 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
6307 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
6308 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
6310 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
6311 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
6312 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
6314 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
6315 environment variable.
6317 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
6318 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

6541 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
6542 ==================================
6544 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
6545 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
6546 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
6547 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
6549 This release corrects only this problem.
6551 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
6552 ==================================
6554 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
6555 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
6556 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
6558 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

6647 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
6648 ==================================
6650 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
6651 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
6652 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
6653 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
6654 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
6657 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
6658 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
6659 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
6660 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
6661 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
6662 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
6663 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

6919 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
6920 ==================================
6922 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
6923 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
6924 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
6925 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
6926 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
6927 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
6929 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
6930 have seen major improvements.
6932 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
6933 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
6934 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
6937 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
6939 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
6941 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
6943 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
6944 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
6945 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
6946 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
6947 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
6948 you use the --strict option.
6950 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
6951 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
6952 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
6954 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
6956 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
6957 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
6958 default handlers for a generic supertype.

7003 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
7004 ===================================
7006 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
7007 before the release of 2.44.0.
7009 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
7011 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
7012 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
7013 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
7014 default in the next cycle.
7016 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
7018 * new GTask:completed property
7020 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
7021 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

7061 ===================================
7063 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
7064 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
7065 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
7067 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
7068 effective busy state.
7070 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

7117 ==================================
7119 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
7120 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
7121 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
7123 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
7124 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
7126 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

7496 and NULL pointer dereferences.
7498 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
7499 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
7501 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
7502 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()

7509 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
7510 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).

7575 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
7576 =====================================================
7578 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
7580 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
7581 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
7582 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
7583 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
7584 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
7585 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
7586 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
7587 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
7588 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
7589 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
7590 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
7592 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
7593 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
7595 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
7599 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
7600 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private
7601 724859 Let the test_wait_until() test also run on non-*nix

7606 726046 Recent commit created symbolic icons issues
7618 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
7619 =====================================================
7621 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
7622 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
7623 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
7624 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
7625 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
7626 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
7628 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

7881 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
7882 ====================================================
7884 * GSettings fixes/improvements
7886 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
7888 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
7889 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
7892 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
7893 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
7896 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
7898 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
7900 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
7903 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
7904 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
7906 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
7908 * Applications/Actions
7910 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
7911 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
7914 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
7915 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
7917 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
7918 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
7919 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
7920 not itself at fault for the errant call)
7924 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
7925 accesses that are performed in common situations
7927 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
7928 are installed/removed
7930 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
7931 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
7933 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
7934 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
7939 - ignore qualified tags, as above
7941 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
7942 that test programs don't pick them up
7944 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
7946 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
7947 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
7948 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
7949 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
7951 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
7952 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
7954 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
7955 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
7956 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
7960 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
7962 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails

8016 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
8017 ====================================================
8019 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
8023 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
8025 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
8026 them can restart the application with an action (via
8031 - new API for launching subprocesses
8033 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
8035 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
8037 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
8038 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
8040 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
8042 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
8044 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
8045 actions and listing apps and actions
8047 - bash tab completion is supported
8049 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
8051 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
8052 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
8054 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
8055 DBusActivatable=true
8057 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
8058 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
8063 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
8065 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
8066 class and inotify backend
8068 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
8069 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
8071 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
8076 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
8077 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
8078 when there are invalid schemas installed
8080 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
8084 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
8085 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
8087 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
8090 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
8091 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
8092 semantics of the interface in each case
8094 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
8095 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
8097 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
8099 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
8100 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
8101 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
8102 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
8106 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
8109 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
8111 * Portability improvements
8113 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
8115 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
8116 actually support it (like Hurd)
8118 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
8120 * Other small API changes/additions
8122 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
8123 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
8124 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
8126 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
8128 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
8129 G_LOG_ERROR messages
8131 * GMainContext/GSource
8133 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
8135 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
8136 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
8137 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
8138 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
8139 broken and should probably be fixed.
8141 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
8142 require use of a linked list
8146 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
8147 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
8148 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
8150 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
8154 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
8155 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
8156 gphoto, archive, at least).
8158 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
8160 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
8163 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
8164 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
8165 (which shared exactly the same bug)
8167 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
8169 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
8171 * Many documentation improvements
8174 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
8175 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
8176 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

8223 Brazilian Portuguese
8229 What's new in Glib 2.38
8230 ========================
8232 * Application support
8234 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
8235 desktop entry specification
8237 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
8238 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
8239 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
8241 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
8242 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
8243 to launch other applications
8245 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
8246 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
8250 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
8251 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
8252 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
8253 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
8254 any problems that this may have caused.
8256 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
8257 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
8258 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
8259 (allowing memory savings)
8261 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
8262 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
8263 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
8265 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
8266 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
8269 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
8270 without destroying one of the objects involved
8274 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
8275 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
8276 with a finite number of cases
8278 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
8279 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
8281 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
8282 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
8283 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
8284 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
8287 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
8291 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
8292 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
8293 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
8295 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
8297 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
8298 and an API to check them
8300 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
8301 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
8303 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
8304 with most functions, but this is not recommended
8308 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
8309 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
8310 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
8313 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
8314 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
8315 particular directory (akin to 'du').
8317 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
8322 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
8323 allow for regexp matching on streams
8325 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
8326 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
8327 g_variant_new_printf()
8331 - we can now generate TAP output
8333 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
8334 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
8336 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
8341 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

8463 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
8464 ==============================================
8466 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
8467 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
8468 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
8469 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
8471 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
8472 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
8475 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
8477 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
8478 the key was locked down)

8603 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
8604 ==============================================
8606 * add support for installed tests:
8607 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
8609 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
8610 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
8612 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
8614 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
8616 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
8617 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
8618 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
8620 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
8636 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
8637 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance
8638 695233 Strings require plural forms

8651 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
8652 ==============================================
8654 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
8655 and a parser API for them is now provided
8657 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
8658 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
8659 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
8661 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

8719 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
8720 ==============================================
8722 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
8723 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
8724 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
8725 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
8726 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
8727 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
8728 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
8729 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
8730 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
8732 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
8733 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
8734 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
8735 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
8736 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
8738 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
8739 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
8740 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
8741 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
8742 anyone was using it.
8744 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
8746 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
8747 the destination file
8749 - fix some 'available since' annotations
8751 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

8773 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
8774 ==============================================
8776 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
8777 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
8778 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
8779 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

8833 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
8834 ==============================================
8836 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
8837 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
8838 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
8839 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
8840 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
8844 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris

8868 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
8869 ==============================================
8871 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
8873 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
8874 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
8876 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
8877 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
8879 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
8892 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
8893 ==============================================
8895 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
8898 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
8899 ready at a specified monotonic time
8901 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
8903 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

9079 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
9080 ==============================================
9082 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
9083 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
9084 causing regressions in applications.
9086 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
9087 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
9088 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
9091 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
9092 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
9093 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
9095 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
9097 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
9099 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
9101 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
9103 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
9105 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
9107 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
9109 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
9111 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
9113 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

9163 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
9164 ==============================================
9166 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
9167 give feedback if they cause trouble:
9169 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
9170 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
9172 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
9174 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
9176 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
9178 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
9180 * GLib version macros updated
9182 * Update to Unicode 6.2
9184 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
9186 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)

9724 * Updated translations:
9751 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
9752 ===============================================
9754 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
9755 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
9756 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
9759 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
9760 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
9761 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
9762 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
9763 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
9764 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
9765 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
9767 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
9768 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
9769 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
9770 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
9771 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
9773 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
9775 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
9777 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
9778 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
9779 private). This means that programs got away with calling
9780 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
9783 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
9784 such programs to break.
9786 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
9787 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
9788 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
9790 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
9791 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
9793 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
9795 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

10060 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
10061 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
10062 to an overridden property
10063 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
10064 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
10066 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
10067 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

10111 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
10112 ==============================================
10114 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
10115 moved to GtkApplication.
10117 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
10118 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
10119 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
10120 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
10122 * lots of documentation improvements
10124 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
10126 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
10127 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
10129 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
10131 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
10133 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
10135 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
10136 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
10139 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
10140 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

10151 * Translations updated:
10155 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
10156 ==============================================
10158 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
10159 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
10160 There have also been many related improvements to action group
10163 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
10164 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
10165 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
10168 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
10169 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
10170 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
10171 through an idle on the context.
10173 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
10174 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
10175 fixes here and there.
10177 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
10178 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
10179 API available outside GLib
10181 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

10223 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
10224 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
10226 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

10245 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
10246 =================================================
10248 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
10249 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
10251 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
10252 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
10253 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
10254 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
10255 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
10256 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
10257 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
10258 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
10259 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
10260 required (and has been deprecated)
10261 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
10262 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
10263 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
10264 without explicit initialisation.
10265 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
10266 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
10267 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
10269 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
10270 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
10271 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
10272 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
10273 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
10274 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
10275 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
10277 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
10278 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
10279 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
10280 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
10281 - GThread is now a refcounted type
10282 - other implementation details changed
10284 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
10285 deprecated/ directory.
10287 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
10288 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
10289 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
10291 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
10292 platform over a year ago).
10294 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
10295 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
10297 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
10298 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
10300 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
10301 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
10302 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
10303 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
10306 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
10307 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
10310 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
10312 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
10313 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
10315 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
10316 in a multi-threaded program
10318 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
10319 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
10321 * pkg-config files:
10322 - drop -uninstalled variants
10323 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
10325 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
10326 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
10327 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
10329 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
10331 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
10332 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
10335 - many code generation updates and improvements
10336 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
10339 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
10340 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
10342 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
10344 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
10347 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
10348 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
10350 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
10351 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
10353 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
10355 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
10357 * many docs updates
10359 * Partial list of bugs closed:
10360 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.
10361 320888 optimization for g_main_context_wakeup
10362 398418 GChildWatch race condition?

10368 631413 Add macros for GSourceFunc return values
10369 632049 not immediately clear what g_variant_get_fixed_array expects

10471 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
10472 ================================================
10474 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
10475 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
10476 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
10477 GObject depends on libffi now.

10488 - fix some harmless warnings
10490 * GDateTime improvements:
10491 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
10492 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
10493 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
10494 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
10495 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
10496 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks

10791 ==============================================
10793 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
10794 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
10795 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
10796 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
10797 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
10798 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
10800 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
10801 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
10803 * Access to quarks is now lockless

10867 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
10868 ==============================================
10871 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
10872 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
10873 an 'object manager' pattern:
10874 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
10875 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
10876 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
10877 And server-side implementations:
10878 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
10879 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
10880 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
10881 descriptions in XML
10884 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
10888 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
10889 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:

10894 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
10895 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
10898 * Unix-specific APIs:
10899 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
10900 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
10901 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
10902 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
10903 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
10904 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

10935 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
10936 ==============================================
10939 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
10940 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
10941 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
10944 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
10945 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
10946 situations has been improved
10949 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
10950 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
10953 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
10954 match strcmp() semantics
10955 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
10956 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
10957 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
10959 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
10960 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
10963 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
10965 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
10967 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
10968 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
10969 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

11216 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
11217 and fallback mime handlers
11218 - g_cancellable_create_source: creates a GSource that triggers
11219 when the GCancellable is canceled
11220 - GPollableInput/OutputStream: Interfaces for pollable streams

11251 ==============================================
11253 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
11254 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
11256 Affected functions:
11259 g_get_monotonic_time
11261 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
11264 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
11266 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
11268 g_simple_async_result_take_error
11269 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
11270 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
11272 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

11276 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
11277 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
11279 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:

11303 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
11304 - Support environment passing
11307 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
11308 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
11310 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
11311 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
11312 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
11316 158725 free linked list with data
11317 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

11335 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
11336 ==============================================
11338 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
11339 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
11341 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
11342 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
11344 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
11346 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
11348 g_settings_get_range
11349 g_settings_range_check
11350 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
11352 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
11353 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
11355 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
11356 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
11358 g_main_context_invoke
11359 g_main_context_invoke_full
11361 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
11362 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
11363 looking for default applications.
11365 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
11366 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
11367 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
11368 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
11370 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
11371 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
11372 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

11630 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
11631 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
11633 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
11634 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
11635 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
11636 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
11639 There have been many other improvements, however:
11642 - vastly improved test coverage
11643 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
11644 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

11659 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
11662 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
11663 without mapping functions
11664 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
11667 - improve closure support for bindings
11668 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
11671 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

11694 =====================================================
11696 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
11697 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
11698 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
11699 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
11700 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
11701 | required (and will be along soon). |
11702 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

11763 =====================================================
11765 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
11766 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
11767 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
11768 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
11769 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
11772 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
11773 -Bsymbolic-functions
11774 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
11775 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
11776 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
11777 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
11778 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
11781 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
11782 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
11783 nobody was doing that.
11784 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
11786 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
11787 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
11789 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
11790 have a serial number
11791 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
11793 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
11795 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
11796 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
11797 has finished running on GDBus services.
11798 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
11799 this due to the obvious race)
11800 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
11801 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
11804 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
11805 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
11806 arguments and different behaviour
11807 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
11808 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
11809 strings instead of utf8 strings
11810 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
11811 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
11812 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
11813 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
11814 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
11815 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
11816 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
11817 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
11818 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
11821 - improved documentation
11822 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
11823 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
11824 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
11825 overridden using <override>.
11826 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
11827 - lots of new tests
11828 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
11829 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
11830 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
11831 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
11832 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
11833 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
11834 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
11835 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
11836 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
11837 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
11838 being set due to a premature free
11839 - command line tool: bash completion support
11840 - chain up in _finalize
11841 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
11843 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
11844 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
11845 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
11847 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
11848 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
11849 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
11850 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
11851 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
11855 - always intern GBinding prop names
11856 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
11857 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
11858 - GNode docs improvements
11859 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
11860 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
11861 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
11865 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
11866 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
11867 - improved tests for GKeyfile
11868 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
11869 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
11870 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
11871 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
11872 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
11874 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
11875 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

12281 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
12282 ===================================================
12284 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
12285 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
12286 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
12287 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
12288 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

12300 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
12301 ===================================================
12303 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
12304 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
12305 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
12306 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
12308 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
12309 when g_type_init() is called.
12311 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
12312 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
12313 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
12315 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
12316 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
12317 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
12318 is a bug in application code.

12379 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
12382 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
12383 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
12384 - The parser will be in a future release.
12387 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)

12389 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

12490 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
12492 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
12494 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
12495 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
12496 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
12498 * Threading changes:
12499 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
12500 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
12502 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
12503 when g_type_init() is called.

12582 ===================================================
12585 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
12586 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
12587 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
12588 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
12589 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
12590 while loading or saving it.
12591 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
12592 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
12593 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
12596 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
12597 interfaces to dynamic types.
12600 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
12601 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

12959 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
12960 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on

12964 for actual socket I/O.
12965 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
12966 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
12968 * Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double
12969 types, suitable for use with GHashTable.

13042 ===================================================
13044 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
13045 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
13046 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
13047 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
13048 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
13049 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
13050 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
13051 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
13052 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
13053 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
13054 object with the given URI.
13056 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316

13336 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
13337 ===================================================
13339 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
13340 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
13341 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
13342 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
13343 also uses less memory overall.
13345 * Make g_poll available as public api
13347 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
13348 that a GError is set or unset
13350 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
13352 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
13353 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
13355 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
13356 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

13432 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.7 to GLib 2.18.0
13433 ===================================================
13435 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
13436 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
13437 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
13438 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
13439 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
13440 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

14761 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.10.0 to GLib 2.10.1
14762 ===================================================
14765 314794 Broken pthread detection on Darwin [Gregor Riepl]
14766 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
14767 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
14769 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
14772 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
14773 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
14775 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
14778 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
14779 ==================================================
14781 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
14782 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
14783 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
14784 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
14786 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
14787 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
14789 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
14790 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
14793 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
14794 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
14795 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
14796 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
14797 support ELF visibility attributes.
14799 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
14800 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
14802 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
14803 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
14804 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
14805 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
14806 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
14807 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
14808 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
14809 to help with the transition.

14844 * Memory management:
14845 Runtime debugging support: The slice allocator
14846 can be turned off by setting G_SLICE=always-malloc
14847 in the environment. Zeroing of freed memory can
14848 now be turned on at runtime by setting
14849 G_DEBUG=gc-friendly in the environment. [Tim Janik]

14878 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.2 to GLib 2.9.3
14879 =================================================

14883 a nonrecursive, threaded one [Maurizio Monge]
14885 * Change g_filename_display_name and
14886 g_filename_display_basename to use the Unicode
14887 replacement character U+FFFD instead of a question
14888 mark, and don't append "(invalid encoding)" [Matthias]

14907 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.1 to GLib 2.9.2
14908 =================================================
14910 * Memory management:
14911 - Add tests for cache colorization [Tim Janik]
14912 - Minimize space consumption if small amounts of differently
14913 sized slices are allocated, at a small performance cost. [Tim]
14916 - Add g_atomic_pointer_set() and g_atomic_int_set() [Tim Janik,
14917 Sebastian Wilhelmi]

14921 to exit after a certain time. [Martyn]
14924 - introduce a new type GInitiallyUnowned, which has an initial
14925 floating reference. [Tim]
14926 - Add support for GType parameters. [Matthias]

14962 =================================================
14964 * Memory management
14965 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
14966 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
14967 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
14968 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
14971 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
14974 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
14975 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
14976 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
14977 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
14978 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
14979 variants [Martyn Russell]
14982 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
14983 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
14986 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
14989 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
14990 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
14991 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
14992 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
14993 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
14994 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
14995 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
14996 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]
14998 * $LOGNAME is respected when determining user data. [Laszlo Peter]

15001 Christian Persch, Benedikt Meurer, Andrew Paprocki,
15002 Kazuki Iwamoto, Alexis S. L. Carvalho, Stanislav Brabec,
15003 Andreas Schwab, Kalle Vahlman]
15006 - Deprecation warnings carry version information [Matthias]
15007 - The slice allocator has been documented [Matthias, Tim]
15008 - Other improvements [Morten Welinder]
15010 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
15011 =================================================
15013 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
15014 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
15015 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
15017 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
15018 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
15021 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
15022 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
15023 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
15024 "stutter stepping".
15025 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
15027 * Memory management:
15028 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
15029 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
15030 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
15031 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
15032 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
15033 never worked as intended.
15034 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
15035 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
15036 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
15037 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
15038 efficient and scalable implementation.
15039 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
15041 * Pattern matching:
15042 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
15043 unnecessary recursion.
15046 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
15047 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
15048 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
15051 * g_thread_foreach:
15052 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
15055 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
15056 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
15057 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
15061 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
15062 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
15063 since they are in glib.h

15242 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
15243 =================================================
15245 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
15246 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
15247 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
15248 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
15249 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
15250 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
15251 included through <glib.h>.
15253 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
15254 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
15255 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
15256 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
15257 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
15259 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
15260 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
15261 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
15262 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
15263 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
15265 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
15266 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
15267 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
15268 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
15270 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
15271 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
15272 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
15274 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
15275 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
15276 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
15277 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
15278 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
15279 header files and were never intended to be exported.
15281 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
15282 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
15283 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
15284 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
15286 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
15287 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
15288 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
15289 stderr if you need to see them.
15291 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
15292 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
15293 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
15294 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
15295 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
15296 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
15298 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
15299 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
15300 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
15301 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
15302 work with future versions of GLib.
15305 - GOption, a commandline option parser
15306 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
15307 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
15308 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
15309 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
15311 * Miscellaneous new functions
15312 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
15313 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
15314 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers

15328 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
15331 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
15332 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
15333 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
15334 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
15335 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms

16311 * glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
16312 (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
16313 be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
16314 * Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
16315 sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
16316 * New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
16317 associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).

16320 * New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
16321 platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
16322 a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
16323 People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
16324 associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
16325 * New utility functions:
16326 g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
16327 g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
16328 g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
16329 * Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
16330 changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
16331 * The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
16332 new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
16333 keyed data of GtkObjects).
16334 * New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
16335 * Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
16336 * Libtool update to version 1.2b.
16337 * Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)

16358 shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
16360 * There is a glib-config helper script installed now.
16361 * Fixups all over the place.
16362 * gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore.
16363 * API extensions for GList and GSList.

16365 * GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
16366 * Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
16367 * Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
16368 mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
16369 * More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
16370 * Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
16372 * Generic functions for TAB completions.
16373 * GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.
