15 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
16 ==============================================
18 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
20 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
23 - fix some 'available since' annotations
25 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

31 * Translations updated:
47 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
48 ==============================================
50 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
51 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
52 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
53 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

107 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
108 ==============================================
110 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
111 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
112 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
113 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
114 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
118 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
119 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
121 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
122 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
123 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
124 * documentation fixes
125 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
128 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

134 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends
142 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
143 ==============================================
145 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
147 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
148 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
150 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
151 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
153 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
166 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
167 ==============================================
169 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
172 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
173 ready at a specified monotonic time
175 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
177 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
180 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
181 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

279 * Translation updates:
294 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
295 ==============================================
297 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
298 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
299 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
300 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
301 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
303 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
304 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
305 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
306 particular, are incompatible.
308 * Bugs fixed in this release:

342 * Translation updates:
353 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
354 ==============================================
356 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
357 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
358 causing regressions in applications.
360 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
361 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
362 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
365 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
366 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
367 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
369 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
371 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
373 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
375 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
377 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
379 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
381 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
383 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
385 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
387 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

437 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
438 ==============================================
440 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
441 give feedback if they cause trouble:
443 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
444 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
446 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
448 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

1325 * Updated translations
1335 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1336 ==============================================
1338 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1339 moved to GtkApplication.
1341 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1342 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1343 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1344 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1346 * lots of documentation improvements
1348 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1350 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1351 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1353 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1355 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1357 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1359 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1360 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1363 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1364 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
1365 664699 glib: documentation fixes
1366 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
1367 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
1368 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1369 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
1370 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
1371 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
1372 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1373 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1375 * Translations updated:
1379 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1380 ==============================================
1382 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1383 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1384 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1387 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1388 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1389 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1392 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1393 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1394 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1395 through an idle on the context.
1397 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1398 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1399 fixes here and there.
1401 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1402 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1403 API available outside GLib
1405 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1440 ==============================================
1442 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
1444 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
1446 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1447 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1448 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1450 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1453 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1454 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
1455 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
1458 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
1459 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

1466 - various GIO file and stream fixes
1467 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1469 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1470 =================================================
1472 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1473 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1475 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1476 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1477 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1478 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1479 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1480 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1481 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1482 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1483 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1484 required (and has been deprecated)
1485 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1486 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1487 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1488 without explicit initialisation.
1489 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1490 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1491 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1493 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1494 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1495 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1496 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1497 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1498 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1499 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1501 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1502 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1503 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1504 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1505 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1506 - other implementation details changed
1508 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1509 deprecated/ directory.
1511 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1512 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1513 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1515 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1516 platform over a year ago).
1518 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1519 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1521 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1522 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1524 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1525 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1526 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1527 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1530 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1531 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1534 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1536 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1537 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1539 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1540 in a multi-threaded program
1542 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1543 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1546 - drop -uninstalled variants
1547 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1549 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1550 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1551 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1553 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1555 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1556 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1559 - many code generation updates and improvements
1560 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1563 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1564 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1566 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1568 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1571 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1572 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1574 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1575 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1577 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1579 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1583 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1584 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1867 help avoid future problems caused by bad hacks
1869 * Merge some (modified) patches from Debian:
1870 - 03_blacklist-directories.patch
1871 - add some blacklisted mount directories
1872 - 60_wait-longer-for-threads-to-die.patch
1873 - sleep longer in a test case, if needed to avoid failing
1875 * Units policy change: prefer use of SI units
1876 - deprecate g_format_size_for_display, add g_format_size(_full)
1878 * GSettings: don't call g_error() when the schema is missing
1880 * GVariant support for arrays of object paths:
1881 - new g_variant_{new,get,dup}_objv API
1882 - support for g_variant_{new,get} '^ao' and '^a&o' similar to '^as'
1885 - use new improved array-of-objects support and pass 'ao' as char**
1886 instead of GVariant*

2010 ==============================================
2012 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2013 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2014 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2015 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2016 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2017 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2019 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2020 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
2022 * Access to quarks is now lockless
2024 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

2077 * Updated translations:
2086 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2087 ==============================================
2090 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2091 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2092 an 'object manager' pattern:
2093 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2094 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2095 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2096 And server-side implementations:
2097 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2098 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2099 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2103 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2107 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2108 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2109 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2110 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2113 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2114 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2117 * Unix-specific APIs:
2118 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2119 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2120 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2121 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2122 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2123 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
2126 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

2145 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
2147 * Updated translations
2154 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2155 ==============================================
2158 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2159 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2160 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2163 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2164 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2165 situations has been improved
2168 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2169 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2172 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2173 match strcmp() semantics
2174 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2175 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2176 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2178 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2179 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2182 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2184 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2186 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2187 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2188 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2465 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
2466 ==============================================
2468 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2469 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2474 g_get_monotonic_time
2476 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2479 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2481 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2483 g_simple_async_result_take_error
2484 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
2485 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
2487 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
2490 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
2491 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
2492 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
2494 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
2495 g_get_user_runtime_dir
2497 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
2500 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
2501 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

2506 * Translation updates:
2514 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
2515 ==============================================
2518 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2519 - Support environment passing
2522 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2523 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2525 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2526 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2527 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2531 158725 free linked list with data
2532 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
2533 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

2541 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
2542 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
2544 * Translation updates:
2550 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2551 ==============================================
2553 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2554 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2556 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2557 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2559 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2561 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2563 g_settings_get_range
2564 g_settings_range_check
2565 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2567 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2568 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2570 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2571 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2573 g_main_context_invoke
2574 g_main_context_invoke_full
2576 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2577 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2578 looking for default applications.
2580 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2581 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2582 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2583 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2585 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2586 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2587 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2842 =====================================================
2844 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2845 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2846 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2848 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2849 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2850 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2851 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2854 There have been many other improvements, however:
2857 - vastly improved test coverage
2858 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2859 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2860 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
2863 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

2878 without mapping functions
2879 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
2882 - improve closure support for bindings
2883 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

2908 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2909 =====================================================
2911 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2912 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2913 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2914 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2915 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2916 | required (and will be along soon). |
2917 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2920 - cleanup automake setup
2921 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2922 - various docs fixups
2923 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2930 - add g_settings_reset()
2931 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2934 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
2935 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
2936 - proper support for file descriptor passing
2937 - new flags parameter for sending messages
2938 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
2939 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2940 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2941 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2942 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2945 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2948 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
2949 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2950 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2953 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
2954 617483 Credentials passing
2955 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

2977 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2978 =====================================================
2980 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2981 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2982 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2983 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2984 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2987 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2988 -Bsymbolic-functions
2989 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2990 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2991 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2992 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2993 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2996 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2997 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2998 nobody was doing that.
2999 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3001 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3002 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3004 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3005 have a serial number
3006 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3008 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3010 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3011 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3012 has finished running on GDBus services.
3013 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3014 this due to the obvious race)
3015 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3016 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3019 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3020 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3021 arguments and different behaviour
3022 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3023 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3024 strings instead of utf8 strings
3025 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3026 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3027 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3028 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3029 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3030 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3031 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3032 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3033 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3036 - improved documentation
3037 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3038 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3039 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3040 overridden using <override>.
3041 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3043 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3044 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3045 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3046 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3047 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3048 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3049 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3050 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3051 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3052 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3053 being set due to a premature free
3054 - command line tool: bash completion support
3055 - chain up in _finalize
3056 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3058 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3059 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3060 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3062 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3063 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3064 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3065 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3066 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3070 - always intern GBinding prop names
3071 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3072 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3073 - GNode docs improvements
3074 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts

3783 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3784 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3785 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3786 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3787 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3788 while loading or saving it.
3789 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3790 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3791 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3794 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3795 interfaces to dynamic types.
3798 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3799 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

4518 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
4519 ===================================================
4521 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
4522 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4523 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4524 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4525 also uses less memory overall.
4527 * Make g_poll available as public api
4529 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4530 that a GError is set or unset
4532 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4534 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4535 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4537 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4538 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

6152 =================================================
6154 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
6155 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
6156 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
6158 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
6159 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
6162 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
6163 These functions handle negative offsets now, and

6166 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
6168 * Memory management:
6169 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

6171 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
6172 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
6173 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
6174 never worked as intended.
6175 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
6176 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
6177 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
6178 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
6179 efficient and scalable implementation.
6180 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
6183 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
6184 unnecessary recursion.
6187 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:

6189 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
6193 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
6196 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
6197 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
6198 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
6202 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
6203 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
6204 since they are in glib.h
