307 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
308 =====================================================
310 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning

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

570 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
571 ====================================================
573 * GSettings fixes/improvements
575 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
577 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
578 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
581 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
582 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
585 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
587 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
589 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
592 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
593 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
595 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
597 * Applications/Actions
599 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
600 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
603 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
604 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
606 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
607 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
608 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
609 not itself at fault for the errant call)
613 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
614 accesses that are performed in common situations
616 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
617 are installed/removed
619 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
620 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
622 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
623 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
628 - ignore qualified tags, as above
630 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
631 that test programs don't pick them up
633 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
635 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
636 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
637 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
638 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
640 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
641 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
643 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
644 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
645 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
649 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
651 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
653 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
655 Translations updated:
663 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
664 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
665 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
666 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
667 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
668 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
669 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
670 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
671 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
672 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
673 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
674 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
675 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
676 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE

705 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
706 ====================================================
708 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
712 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
714 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
715 them can restart the application with an action (via
720 - new API for launching subprocesses
722 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
724 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
726 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
727 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
729 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
731 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
733 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
734 actions and listing apps and actions
736 - bash tab completion is supported
738 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
740 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
741 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
743 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
746 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
747 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
752 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
754 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
755 class and inotify backend
757 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
758 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
760 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
765 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
766 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
767 when there are invalid schemas installed
769 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
773 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
774 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
776 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
779 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
780 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
781 semantics of the interface in each case
783 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
784 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
786 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
788 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
789 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
790 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
791 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
795 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
798 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
800 * Portability improvements
802 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
804 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
805 actually support it (like Hurd)
807 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
809 * Other small API changes/additions
811 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
812 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
813 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
815 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
817 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
820 * GMainContext/GSource
822 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
824 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
825 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
826 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
827 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
828 broken and should probably be fixed.
830 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
831 require use of a linked list
835 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
836 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
837 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
839 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
843 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
844 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
845 gphoto, archive, at least).
847 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
849 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
852 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
853 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
854 (which shared exactly the same bug)
856 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
858 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
860 * Many documentation improvements
863 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
864 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
865 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

918 What's new in Glib 2.38
919 ========================
921 * Application support
923 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
924 desktop entry specification
926 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
927 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
928 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
930 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
931 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
932 to launch other applications
934 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
935 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
939 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
940 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
941 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
942 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
943 any problems that this may have caused.
945 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
946 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
947 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
948 (allowing memory savings)
950 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
951 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
952 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
954 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
955 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
958 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
959 without destroying one of the objects involved
963 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
964 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
965 with a finite number of cases
967 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
968 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
970 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
971 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
972 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
973 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
976 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
980 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
981 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
982 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
984 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
986 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
987 and an API to check them
989 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
990 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
992 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
993 with most functions, but this is not recommended
997 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
998 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
999 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1002 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1003 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1004 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1006 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1011 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1012 allow for regexp matching on streams
1014 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1015 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1016 g_variant_new_printf()
1020 - we can now generate TAP output
1022 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1023 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1025 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1030 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1157 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1158 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

1224 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.2 to 2.37.3
1225 ==============================================
1227 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
1229 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
1230 build the unmodified source
1232 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
1234 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
1235 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
1236 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
1243 698375 - D-Bus async properties
1244 700350 - timestamp issue
1245 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
1246 700035 - new API for instance private data
1248 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
1249 ==============================================
1251 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
1252 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
1254 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
1255 and will trigger a warning.
1258 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation
1260 - Set prgname to appid for services
1263 549783 gtester lacks framework for tests with data files
1264 692848 Fix property example in gobject tutorial
1265 698018 Add an explicit g_binding_release()

1276 701878 Check wakeup() before iteration(TRUE) doesn't block
1292 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
1293 ==============================================
1295 * add support for installed tests:
1296 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
1298 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
1299 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
1301 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
1303 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
1305 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
1306 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
1307 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
1309 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
1325 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
1326 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance

1340 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
1341 ==============================================
1343 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1344 and a parser API for them is now provided
1346 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1347 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1348 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1408 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1409 ==============================================
1411 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1413 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1414 the destination file
1416 - fix some 'available since' annotations
1418 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

1424 * Translations updated:
1440 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1441 ==============================================
1443 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1444 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1445 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1446 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1500 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1501 ==============================================
1503 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1504 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1505 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1506 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1507 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1511 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1512 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1514 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1515 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1516 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
1517 * documentation fixes
1518 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
1521 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

1535 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1536 ==============================================
1538 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1540 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1541 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1543 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1544 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1546 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1559 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1560 ==============================================
1562 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1565 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1566 ready at a specified monotonic time
1568 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1570 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
1573 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
1574 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

1687 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1688 ==============================================
1690 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1691 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1692 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1693 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1694 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1696 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1697 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1698 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1699 particular, are incompatible.

1746 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1747 ==============================================
1749 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1750 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1751 causing regressions in applications.
1753 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1754 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1755 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1758 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1759 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1760 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1762 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1764 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1766 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1768 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1770 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1772 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1774 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1776 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1778 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1780 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2677 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2678 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2679 to an overridden property
2680 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2681 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

2729 ==============================================
2731 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2732 moved to GtkApplication.
2734 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2735 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2736 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2737 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2739 * lots of documentation improvements
2741 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2743 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2744 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2746 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2748 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2750 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2752 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2753 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2756 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2757 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2768 * Translations updated:
2772 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2773 ==============================================
2775 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2776 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2777 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2780 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2781 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2782 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2785 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2786 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2787 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2788 through an idle on the context.
2790 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2791 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2792 fixes here and there.
2794 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2795 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2796 API available outside GLib
2798 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2840 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2841 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2843 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

2862 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2863 =================================================
2865 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2866 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2868 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2869 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2870 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2871 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2872 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2873 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2874 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2875 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2876 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2877 required (and has been deprecated)
2878 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2879 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2880 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2881 without explicit initialisation.
2882 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2883 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2884 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2886 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2887 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2888 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2889 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2890 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2891 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2892 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2894 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2895 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2896 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2897 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2898 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2899 - other implementation details changed
2901 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2902 deprecated/ directory.
2904 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2905 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2906 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2908 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2909 platform over a year ago).
2911 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2912 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2914 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2915 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2917 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2918 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2919 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2920 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2923 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2924 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2927 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2929 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2930 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2932 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2933 in a multi-threaded program
2935 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2936 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2939 - drop -uninstalled variants
2940 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2942 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2943 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2944 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2946 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2948 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2949 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2952 - many code generation updates and improvements
2953 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2956 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2957 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2959 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2961 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2964 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2965 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2967 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2968 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2970 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2972 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
2976 * Partial list of bugs closed:
2977 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3403 ==============================================
3405 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3406 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3407 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3408 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3409 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3410 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3412 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3413 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

3470 * Updated translations:
3479 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3480 ==============================================
3483 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3484 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3485 an 'object manager' pattern:
3486 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3487 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3488 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3489 And server-side implementations:
3490 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3491 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3492 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3496 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3500 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3501 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3502 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3503 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3506 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3507 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3510 * Unix-specific APIs:
3511 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3512 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3513 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3514 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3515 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3516 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3540 * Updated translations
3547 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3548 ==============================================
3551 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3552 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3553 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3556 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3557 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3558 situations has been improved
3561 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3562 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3565 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3566 match strcmp() semantics
3567 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3568 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3569 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3571 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3572 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3575 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3577 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3579 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3580 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3581 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3859 ==============================================
3861 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
3862 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
3867 g_get_monotonic_time
3869 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
3872 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
3874 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
3876 g_simple_async_result_take_error

3911 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
3912 - Support environment passing
3915 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
3916 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3918 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3919 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3920 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3924 158725 free linked list with data

3937 * Translation updates:
3943 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3944 ==============================================
3946 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3947 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3949 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3950 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3952 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3954 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3956 g_settings_get_range
3957 g_settings_range_check
3958 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3960 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3961 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3963 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3964 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3966 g_main_context_invoke
3967 g_main_context_invoke_full
3969 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3970 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3971 looking for default applications.
3973 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3974 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3975 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3976 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3978 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3979 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3980 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4241 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4242 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4243 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4244 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4247 There have been many other improvements, however:
4250 - vastly improved test coverage
4251 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4252 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4253 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
4256 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
4259 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
4260 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
4261 - improve debug output, add some extra options
4262 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
4264 - sort property names correctly
4265 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
4267 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing

4302 =====================================================
4304 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4305 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4306 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4307 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4308 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4309 | required (and will be along soon). |
4310 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4313 - cleanup automake setup
4314 - rename configure.in to configure.ac

4370 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4371 =====================================================
4373 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4374 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4375 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4376 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4377 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4380 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4381 -Bsymbolic-functions
4382 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4383 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4384 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4385 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4386 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4389 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4390 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4391 nobody was doing that.
4392 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4394 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4395 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4397 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4398 have a serial number
4399 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4401 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4403 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4404 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4405 has finished running on GDBus services.
4406 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4407 this due to the obvious race)
4408 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4409 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4412 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4413 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4414 arguments and different behaviour
4415 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4416 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4417 strings instead of utf8 strings
4418 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4419 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4420 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4421 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4422 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4423 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4424 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4425 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4426 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4429 - improved documentation
4430 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4431 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4432 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4433 overridden using <override>.
4434 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4436 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4437 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4438 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4439 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4440 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4441 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4442 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4443 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4444 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4445 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4446 being set due to a premature free
4447 - command line tool: bash completion support
4448 - chain up in _finalize
4449 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4451 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4452 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4453 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4455 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4456 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4457 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4458 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4459 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4463 - always intern GBinding prop names
4464 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4465 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4466 - GNode docs improvements
4467 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4468 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

4473 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4474 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4475 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4476 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4477 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4478 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4479 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4480 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4482 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4483 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4484 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4485 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4486 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4487 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4488 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4489 610784 array test failing
4490 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

5183 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5184 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5187 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5188 interfaces to dynamic types.

5918 also uses less memory overall.

5923 that a GError is set or unset
5925 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
5927 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
5928 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
5930 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
