1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.73.3, 05-08-2022
2 ==============================================
4 * Revitalize G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE flag and use it to enable PCRE JIT compiler (work
5 by Aleksei Rybalkin) (!2817)
7 * Fix some regressions due to the PCRE2 port (work
8 by Aleksei Rybalkin, Mamoru TASAKA and Marco Trevisan) (!2814, !2827, #2694,
11 * Fix a pidfd leak that was introduced in the previous release (work by
12 Christian Hergert) (#2708)
14 * Support compilation without a C++ toolchain (work by James Hilliard) (!2822)
16 * GDBus: Use namespace-friendly protocol for Linux message buses, and optionally
17 other connections (work by Simon McVittie) (!2832)
19 * Fix potential races in multi-threaded signal connections handling (work by
20 Marco Trevisan) (!2823)
22 * Add back gio-launch-desktop to redirect stdout/stderr of launched
23 GDesktopAppInfo's to the journal with proper parent (work by Simon McVittie)
26 * Executables that are invoked when installing other software, typically
27 from packaging system triggers, can now be installed into
28 architecture-dependent locations. Unix OS distributors who install
29 GLib for more than one architecture in parallel (multiarch or multilib
30 installations) should consider building with -Dmultiarch=true, installing
31 the bin/glib-compile-schemas and bin/gio-querymodules symbolic links in
32 packages for the primary architecture, and omitting those symlinks from
33 packages for secondary architectures. (work by Simon McVittie) (!2818)
35 * Some enumerators introduced in previous releases have been changed, for better
36 introspection results:
37 - G_MARKUP_PARSE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_MARKUP_DEFAULT_FLAGS
38 - G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_NO_FLAGS
39 - G_APPLICATION_FLAGS_NONE was deprecated, use G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS now
40 (work by Emmanuele Bassi) (!2835)
42 * gfileinfo: Implement xattr attribute removal (work by madmurphy) (#1187)
44 * Add support to --delete option to gio set, to unset a file attribute (work by
47 * Improve default value of glib_debug option: G_ENABLE_DEBUG will be defined
48 only if using `--buildtype=debug` or enabled via `-Dglib_debug`, but it
49 won't ever be set if an optimized build is requested (specifically if the
50 optimization level is not `0` or `g`) as it may be the case when using
51 `--buildtype=debugoptimized` (work by Michael Catanzaro) (!2851)

117 dependency and use libpcre2 instead, while preserving the behaviour and API of
118 GRegex. G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE and G_REGEX_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT are now deprecated

1723 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
1724 ==================================
1726 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
1727 which makes error checking easier (#553)
1729 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
1730 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
1731 variables, or mostly anything else (see
1732 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
1734 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
1735 Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)

1743 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
1745 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
1746 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
1747 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
1748 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
1749 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
1750 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

2710 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
2712 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing
2713 `G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS` flag; the destination permissions would be
2714 private rather than following the process’ umask (!1142)
2716 * Several `GDateTime` parsing fixes (!1127)
2718 * Always build the tests if installed-tests are enabled, so that the tests can
2719 actually be installed (!1141)

2722 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
2723 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
2725 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
2727 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)
2729 * Bump Python requirement to ≥ 3.5, which we implicitly relied on anyway through
2730 our Meson dependency (!1132)

2887 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
2888 rather than silently leaking. (#787)

2891 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
2893 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
2894 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
2896 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
2897 third-party code should now be using

2914 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
2916 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything

2919 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
2921 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
2922 of packaged libraries (!951)
2924 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

3176 `GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)

3382 ==================================
3384 * Autotools support is gone. (!580)

3396 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
3397 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
3398 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
3400 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
3402 * Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be

3466 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
3467 ==================================
3469 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
3470 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
3471 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
3472 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
3474 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
3475 directory for each unit test. (#538)
3477 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
3479 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
3481 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
3483 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
3484 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
3485 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
3486 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
3488 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
3489 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
3491 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
3492 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
3493 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
3495 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
3497 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
3498 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
3501 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
3502 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
3504 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
3505 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
3506 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
3508 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
3509 portal backends. (!317)
3511 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
3514 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
3516 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
3519 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
3521 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
3524 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
3525 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
3526 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
3528 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
3529 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
3531 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
3532 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
3533 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
3534 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
3536 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
3538 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

3747 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
3748 ==================================
3750 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
3751 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
3752 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
3753 with Meson or autotools. See:
3754 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
3756 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
3758 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
3759 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
3761 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
3763 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
3765 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
3766 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
3767 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
3768 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
3771 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
3772 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
3773 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
3774 !265 Network monitor again
3775 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
3776 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
3777 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
3778 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
3779 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
3780 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
3782 * Translation updates:
3792 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
3793 ==================================
3795 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
3796 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
3797 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
3798 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
3800 * Many minor documentation fixes.
3802 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
3804 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
3806 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
3808 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
3809 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
3811 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
3813 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
3814 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
3815 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
3818 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
3820 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
3823 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
3824 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
3825 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

3858 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"

4995 ==================================
4997 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
4998 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
4999 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
5000 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

5003 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
5004 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
5006 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
5007 environment variable.
5009 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types

5175 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
5176 is unavailable or undesired.
5178 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

5233 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
5234 ==================================
5236 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
5237 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
5238 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
5239 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
5241 This release corrects only this problem.
5243 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
5244 ==================================
5246 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
5247 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
5248 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
5250 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

5339 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
5340 ==================================
5342 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
5343 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
5344 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
5345 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
5346 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
5349 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
5350 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
5351 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
5352 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
5353 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
5354 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
5355 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

5611 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
5612 ==================================
5614 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
5615 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
5616 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
5617 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
5618 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
5619 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
5621 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
5622 have seen major improvements.
5624 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
5625 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
5626 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
5629 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
5631 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
5633 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
5635 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
5636 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
5637 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
5638 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
5639 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
5640 you use the --strict option.
5642 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
5643 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
5644 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
5646 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
5648 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
5649 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
5650 default handlers for a generic supertype.

5695 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
5696 ===================================
5698 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
5699 before the release of 2.44.0.
5701 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
5703 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
5704 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
5705 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
5706 default in the next cycle.
5708 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
5710 * new GTask:completed property
5712 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
5713 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

5753 ===================================
5755 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
5756 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
5757 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
5759 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
5760 effective busy state.
5762 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

5812 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
5813 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
5815 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
5816 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

6184 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
6185 ===================================
6187 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
6188 and NULL pointer dereferences.
6190 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
6191 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
6193 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
6194 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
6196 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
6197 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
6199 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
6201 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
6202 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
6204 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
6205 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
6206 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
6208 * ... and many other bug fixes.

6267 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
6268 =====================================================
6270 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
6272 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
6273 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
6274 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
6275 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
6276 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
6277 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
6278 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
6279 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
6280 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
6281 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
6282 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
6284 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
6285 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
6287 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
6291 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

6310 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
6311 =====================================================
6313 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
6314 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
6315 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
6316 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
6317 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
6318 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
6320 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

6573 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
6574 ====================================================
6576 * GSettings fixes/improvements
6578 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
6580 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
6581 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
6584 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
6585 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
6588 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
6590 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
6592 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
6595 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
6596 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
6598 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
6600 * Applications/Actions
6602 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
6603 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
6606 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
6607 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
6609 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
6610 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
6611 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
6612 not itself at fault for the errant call)
6616 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
6617 accesses that are performed in common situations
6619 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
6620 are installed/removed
6622 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
6623 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
6625 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
6626 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
6631 - ignore qualified tags, as above
6633 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
6634 that test programs don't pick them up
6636 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
6638 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
6639 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
6640 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
6641 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
6643 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
6644 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
6646 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
6647 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
6648 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
6652 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
6654 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
6656 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

6708 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
6709 ====================================================
6711 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
6715 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
6717 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
6718 them can restart the application with an action (via
6723 - new API for launching subprocesses
6725 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
6727 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
6729 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
6730 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
6732 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
6734 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
6736 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
6737 actions and listing apps and actions
6739 - bash tab completion is supported
6741 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
6743 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
6744 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
6746 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
6747 DBusActivatable=true
6749 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
6750 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
6755 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
6757 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
6758 class and inotify backend
6760 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
6761 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
6763 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
6768 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
6769 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
6770 when there are invalid schemas installed
6772 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
6776 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
6777 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
6779 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
6782 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
6783 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
6784 semantics of the interface in each case
6786 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
6787 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
6789 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
6791 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
6792 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
6793 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
6794 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
6798 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
6801 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
6803 * Portability improvements
6805 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
6807 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
6808 actually support it (like Hurd)
6810 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
6812 * Other small API changes/additions
6814 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
6815 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
6816 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
6818 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
6820 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
6821 G_LOG_ERROR messages
6823 * GMainContext/GSource
6825 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
6827 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
6828 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
6829 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
6830 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
6831 broken and should probably be fixed.
6833 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
6834 require use of a linked list
6838 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
6839 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
6840 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
6842 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
6846 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
6847 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
6848 gphoto, archive, at least).
6850 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
6852 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
6855 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
6856 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
6857 (which shared exactly the same bug)
6859 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
6861 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
6863 * Many documentation improvements
6866 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
6867 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
6868 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

6915 Brazilian Portuguese
6921 What's new in Glib 2.38
6922 ========================
6924 * Application support
6926 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
6927 desktop entry specification
6929 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
6930 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
6931 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
6933 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
6934 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
6935 to launch other applications
6937 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
6938 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
6942 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
6943 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
6944 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
6945 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
6946 any problems that this may have caused.
6948 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
6949 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
6950 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
6951 (allowing memory savings)
6953 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
6954 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
6955 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
6957 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
6958 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
6961 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
6962 without destroying one of the objects involved
6966 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
6967 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
6968 with a finite number of cases
6970 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
6971 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
6973 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
6974 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
6975 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
6976 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
6979 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
6983 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
6984 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
6985 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
6987 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
6989 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
6990 and an API to check them
6992 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
6993 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
6995 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
6996 with most functions, but this is not recommended
7000 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
7001 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
7002 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
7005 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
7006 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
7007 particular directory (akin to 'du').
7009 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
7014 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
7015 allow for regexp matching on streams
7017 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
7018 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
7019 g_variant_new_printf()
7023 - we can now generate TAP output
7025 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
7026 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
7028 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
7033 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

7155 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
7156 ==============================================
7158 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
7159 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
7160 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
7161 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
7163 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
7164 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
7167 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
7169 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
7170 the key was locked down)
7172 * Miscellaneous new api:
7173 - g_variant_new_printf
7174 - g_action_print_detailed_name

7343 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
7344 ==============================================
7346 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
7347 and a parser API for them is now provided
7349 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
7350 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
7351 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
7353 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

7411 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
7412 ==============================================
7414 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
7415 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
7416 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
7417 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
7418 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
7419 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
7420 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
7421 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
7422 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
7424 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
7425 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
7426 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
7427 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
7428 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
7430 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
7431 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
7432 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
7433 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
7434 anyone was using it.
7436 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
7438 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
7439 the destination file
7441 - fix some 'available since' annotations
7443 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

7465 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
7466 ==============================================
7468 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
7469 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
7470 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
7471 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

7525 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
7526 ==============================================
7528 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
7529 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
7530 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
7531 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
7532 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
7536 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
7537 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

7543 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
7546 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

7560 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
7561 ==============================================
7563 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
7565 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
7566 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
7568 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
7569 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
7571 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
7584 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
7585 ==============================================
7587 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
7590 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
7591 ready at a specified monotonic time
7593 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
7595 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
7598 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
7599 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

7718 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the

7721 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
7722 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
7723 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
7724 particular, are incompatible.

7771 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
7772 ==============================================
7774 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
7775 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
7776 causing regressions in applications.
7778 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
7779 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
7780 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
7783 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
7784 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
7785 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
7787 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
7789 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
7791 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
7793 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
7795 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
7797 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
7799 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
7801 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
7803 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
7805 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

7855 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
7856 ==============================================
7858 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
7859 give feedback if they cause trouble:
7861 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
7862 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
7864 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
7866 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
7868 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
7870 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
7872 * GLib version macros updated
7874 * Update to Unicode 6.2
7876 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
7878 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
7880 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
7882 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
7883 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

8416 * Updated translations:
8443 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
8444 ===============================================
8446 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
8447 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
8448 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
8451 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
8452 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
8453 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
8454 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
8455 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
8456 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
8457 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
8459 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
8460 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
8461 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
8462 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
8463 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
8465 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
8467 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
8469 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
8470 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
8471 private). This means that programs got away with calling
8472 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
8475 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
8476 such programs to break.
8478 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
8479 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
8480 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
8482 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
8483 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
8485 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
8487 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

8749 ==============================================
8752 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
8753 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
8754 to an overridden property
8755 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
8756 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
8758 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
8759 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

8803 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
8804 ==============================================
8806 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
8807 moved to GtkApplication.
8809 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
8810 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
8811 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
8812 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
8814 * lots of documentation improvements
8816 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
8818 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
8819 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
8821 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
8823 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
8825 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
8827 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
8828 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
8831 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
8832 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

8836 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
8837 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

8840 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
8841 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
8843 * Translations updated:
8847 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
8848 ==============================================
8850 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
8851 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
8852 There have also been many related improvements to action group
8855 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
8856 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
8857 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
8860 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
8861 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
8862 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
8863 through an idle on the context.
8865 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
8866 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
8867 fixes here and there.
8869 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
8870 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
8871 API available outside GLib
8873 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

8915 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
8916 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
8918 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

8937 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
8938 =================================================
8940 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
8941 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
8943 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
8944 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
8945 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
8946 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
8947 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
8948 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
8949 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
8950 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
8951 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
8952 required (and has been deprecated)
8953 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
8954 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
8955 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
8956 without explicit initialisation.
8957 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
8958 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
8959 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
8961 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
8962 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
8963 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
8964 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
8965 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
8966 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
8967 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
8969 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
8970 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
8971 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
8972 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
8973 - GThread is now a refcounted type
8974 - other implementation details changed
8976 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
8977 deprecated/ directory.
8979 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
8980 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
8981 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
8983 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
8984 platform over a year ago).
8986 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
8987 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
8989 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
8990 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
8992 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
8993 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
8994 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
8995 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
8998 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
8999 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
9002 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
9004 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
9005 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
9007 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
9008 in a multi-threaded program
9010 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
9011 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
9014 - drop -uninstalled variants
9015 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
9017 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
9018 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
9019 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
9021 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
9023 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
9024 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
9027 - many code generation updates and improvements
9028 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
9031 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
9032 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
9034 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
9036 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
9039 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
9040 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
9042 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
9043 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
9045 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
9047 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
9051 * Partial list of bugs closed:
9052 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

9163 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
9164 ================================================
9166 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
9167 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
9168 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
9169 GObject depends on libffi now.
9172 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
9173 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
9175 * networking and other fixes for Solaris

9483 ==============================================
9485 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
9486 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
9487 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
9488 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
9489 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
9490 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
9492 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
9493 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

9550 * Updated translations:
9559 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
9560 ==============================================
9563 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
9564 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
9565 an 'object manager' pattern:
9566 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
9567 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
9568 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
9569 And server-side implementations:
9570 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
9571 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
9572 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
9576 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
9580 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
9581 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
9582 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
9583 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
9586 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
9587 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
9590 * Unix-specific APIs:
9591 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
9592 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
9593 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
9594 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
9595 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
9596 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

9627 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
9628 ==============================================
9631 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
9632 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
9633 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
9636 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
9637 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
9638 situations has been improved
9641 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
9642 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
9645 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
9646 match strcmp() semantics
9647 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
9648 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
9649 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
9651 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
9652 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
9655 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
9657 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
9659 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
9660 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
9661 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

9945 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
9946 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
9951 g_get_monotonic_time
9953 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
9956 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
9958 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
9960 g_simple_async_result_take_error

9996 - Support environment passing
9999 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
10000 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
10002 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
10003 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
10004 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
10008 158725 free linked list with data

10027 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
10028 ==============================================
10030 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
10031 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
10033 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
10034 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
10036 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
10038 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
10040 g_settings_get_range
10041 g_settings_range_check
10042 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
10044 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
10045 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
10047 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
10048 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
10050 g_main_context_invoke
10051 g_main_context_invoke_full
10053 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
10054 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
10055 looking for default applications.
10057 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
10058 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
10059 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
10060 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
10062 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
10063 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
10064 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

10321 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10322 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
10323 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10325 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
10326 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
10327 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
10328 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
10331 There have been many other improvements, however:
10334 - vastly improved test coverage
10335 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
10336 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
10337 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

10348 - sort property names correctly
10349 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
10351 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
10354 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
10355 without mapping functions
10356 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
10359 - improve closure support for bindings

10386 =====================================================
10388 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10389 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
10390 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
10391 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
10392 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
10393 | required (and will be along soon). |

10454 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
10455 =====================================================
10457 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10458 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
10459 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
10460 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
10461 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10464 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
10465 -Bsymbolic-functions
10466 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
10467 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
10468 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
10469 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
10470 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
10473 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
10474 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
10475 nobody was doing that.
10476 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
10478 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
10479 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
10481 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
10482 have a serial number
10483 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
10485 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
10487 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
10488 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
10489 has finished running on GDBus services.
10490 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
10491 this due to the obvious race)
10492 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
10493 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
10496 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
10497 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
10498 arguments and different behaviour
10499 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
10500 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
10501 strings instead of utf8 strings
10502 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
10503 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
10504 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
10505 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
10506 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
10507 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
10508 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
10509 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
10510 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
10513 - improved documentation
10514 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
10515 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
10516 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
10517 overridden using <override>.
10518 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
10519 - lots of new tests
10520 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
10521 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
10522 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
10523 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
10524 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
10525 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
10526 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
10527 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
10528 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
10529 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
10530 being set due to a premature free
10531 - command line tool: bash completion support
10532 - chain up in _finalize
10533 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
10535 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
10536 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
10537 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
10539 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
10540 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
10541 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
10542 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
10543 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
10547 - always intern GBinding prop names
10548 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings

10559 - improved tests for GKeyfile
10560 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
10561 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
10562 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
10563 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
10564 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
10566 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
10567 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

10571 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
10572 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

10885 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.3 to GLib 2.25.4
10886 ===================================================
10888 * GDBus D-Bus support has been merged. This provides an API
10889 to replace dbus-glib
10891 * GVariant no requires strings to be UTF-8. You can use byte
10892 arrays for non-UTF-8 strings.
10894 * GSettings allows to bind string properties to byte arrays
10896 * The schema compiler supports range restrictions

10923 that lets you add replacement information (requires gcc 4.5)
10925 * Rename AM_GSETTINGS autoconf macro to GLIB_GSETTINGS
10927 * Rename gschema-compile utility to glib-compile-schemas
10929 * Add support for timeouts in GSocket

10938 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.0 to GLib 2.25.2
10939 ===================================================
10941 * Include a 'gsettings' utility, for commandline access to GSettings
10943 * Install a AM_GSETTINGS autoconf macro similar to AM_GCONF
10945 * GSettings can bind the writability of a key explicitly

10973 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
10974 ===================================================
10976 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
10977 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
10978 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
10979 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
10980 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
10982 * Translation updates:
10989 Traditional Chinese
10992 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
10993 ===================================================
10995 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
10996 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
10997 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
10998 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
11000 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
11001 when g_type_init() is called.
11003 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
11004 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
11005 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
11007 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
11008 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
11009 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
11010 is a bug in application code.

11071 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
11074 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
11075 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
11076 - The parser will be in a future release.
11079 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
11080 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
11081 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

11182 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
11184 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
11186 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
11187 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
11188 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
11190 * Threading changes:
11191 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
11192 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
11194 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
11195 when g_type_init() is called.

11274 ===================================================
11277 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
11278 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
11279 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
11280 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
11281 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
11282 while loading or saving it.
11283 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
11284 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
11285 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
11288 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
11289 interfaces to dynamic types.
11292 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
11293 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

11648 ===================================================
11651 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
11652 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
11654 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
11655 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
11656 for actual socket I/O.
11657 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
11658 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
11660 * Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double
11661 types, suitable for use with GHashTable.

11733 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.19.9 to GLib 2.20.0
11734 ===================================================
11736 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
11737 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
11738 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
11739 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
11740 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
11741 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
11742 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
11743 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
11744 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
11745 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
11746 object with the given URI.
11748 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316

11781 the destination of a copying operation as if it did not exit before.

12031 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
12032 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
12033 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
12034 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
12035 also uses less memory overall.
12037 * Make g_poll available as public api
12039 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
12040 that a GError is set or unset
12042 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
12044 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
12045 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
12047 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

12129 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
12130 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
12131 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
12132 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

13458 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
13459 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
13461 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
13464 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
13465 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
13467 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
13470 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
13471 ==================================================
13473 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
13474 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
13475 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
13476 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
13478 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
13479 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
13481 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
13482 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
13485 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
13486 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
13487 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
13488 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
13489 support ELF visibility attributes.
13491 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
13492 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
13494 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
13495 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
13496 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
13497 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
13498 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
13499 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
13500 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
13501 to help with the transition.

13670 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
13671 variants [Martyn Russell]
13674 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
13675 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
13678 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
13681 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64

13702 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
13703 =================================================
13705 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
13706 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
13707 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
13709 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
13710 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
13713 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
13714 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
13715 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
13716 "stutter stepping".
13717 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
13719 * Memory management:
13720 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
13721 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
13722 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
13723 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
13724 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
13725 never worked as intended.
13726 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
13727 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
13728 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
13729 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
13730 efficient and scalable implementation.
13731 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
13733 * Pattern matching:
13734 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
13735 unnecessary recursion.
13738 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
13739 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
13740 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
13743 * g_thread_foreach:
13744 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
13747 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
13748 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
13749 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
13753 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
13754 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
13755 since they are in glib.h

13774 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
13776 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
13777 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

13934 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
13935 =================================================
13937 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
13938 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
13939 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
13940 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
13941 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
13942 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
13943 included through <glib.h>.
13945 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
13946 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
13947 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
13948 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
13949 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
13951 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
13952 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
13953 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
13954 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
13955 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
13957 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
13958 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
13959 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
13960 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
13962 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
13963 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
13964 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
13966 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
13967 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
13968 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
13969 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
13970 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
13971 header files and were never intended to be exported.
13973 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
13974 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
13975 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
13976 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
13978 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
13979 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
13980 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
13981 stderr if you need to see them.
13983 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
13984 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
13985 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
13986 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
13987 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
13988 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
13990 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
13991 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
13992 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
13993 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
13994 work with future versions of GLib.
13997 - GOption, a commandline option parser
13998 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
13999 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
14000 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
14001 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
14003 * Miscellaneous new functions
14004 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
14005 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
14006 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
14007 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
14008 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
14009 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
14010 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
14011 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
14012 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
14013 - g_debug() completes the family of logging functions
14015 * Performance improvements

14020 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
14023 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
14024 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
14025 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
14026 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
14027 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms

14966 - g_getenv: expands environment variables that contain references
14967 to other environment variables
14968 - g_scanner_sync_file_offset: rewind the filedescriptor to the current
14969 buffer position and blow the file read ahead buffer
14970 - g_array_remove_index: remove an entry, preserving the order

14993 * New endian defines (G_*_ENDIAN)
14994 * New string join/split/free routines
14998 Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.3
14999 =================================
15001 * New GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic
15002 object code loading facilities in a portable manner.
15003 * glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
15004 (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
15005 be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
15006 * Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
15007 sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
15008 * New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
15009 associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
15010 * New inline functions for bit masks tests.
15011 * GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
15012 * New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
15013 platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
15014 a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
15015 People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
15016 associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
15017 * New utility functions:
15018 g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
15019 g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
15020 g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
15021 * Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
15022 changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
15023 * The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
15024 new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
15025 keyed data of GtkObjects).
15026 * New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
15027 * Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
15028 * Libtool update to version 1.2b.
15029 * Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)

15046 Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.0
15047 =================================
15049 * GLib is distributed seperatedly from Gtk+ now and uses a sophisticated
15050 shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
15052 * There is a glib-config helper script installed now.
15053 * Fixups all over the place.
15054 * gboolean is now a gint, not a gchar anymore.
15055 * API extensions for GList and GSList.
15056 * New g_str*() functions for simple string handling.
15057 * GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
15058 * Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
15059 * Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
15060 mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
15061 * More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
15062 * Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
15064 * Generic functions for TAB completions.
15065 * GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.
