261 ==============================================
263 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
264 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
265 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
266 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
267 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
268 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.

328 * Updated translations:
337 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
338 ==============================================
341 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
342 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
343 an 'object manager' pattern:
344 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
345 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
346 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
347 And server-side implementations:
348 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
349 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
350 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
354 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
358 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
359 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
360 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
361 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
364 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
365 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
368 * Unix-specific APIs:
369 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
370 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
371 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
372 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
373 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
374 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

405 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
406 ==============================================
409 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
410 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
411 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
414 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
415 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
416 situations has been improved

420 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
423 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
424 match strcmp() semantics
425 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
426 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
427 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
429 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
430 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
433 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
435 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
437 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
438 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
439 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

769 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
770 - Support environment passing
773 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
774 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
776 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
777 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
778 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
782 158725 free linked list with data

807 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
808 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether

812 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
815 g_settings_range_check
816 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
818 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
819 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
821 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
822 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
824 g_main_context_invoke
825 g_main_context_invoke_full
827 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
828 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
829 looking for default applications.
831 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
832 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
833 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
834 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
836 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
837 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
838 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1093 =====================================================
1095 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1096 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1097 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1099 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1100 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1101 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1102 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1105 There have been many other improvements, however:
1108 - vastly improved test coverage
1109 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1110 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1111 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

1129 without mapping functions
1130 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
1133 - improve closure support for bindings
1134 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
1137 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

1160 =====================================================
1162 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1163 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1164 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1165 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1166 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1167 | required (and will be along soon). |
1168 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1171 - cleanup automake setup
1172 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1173 - various docs fixups
1174 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

1191 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
1192 - constness fixes for introspection structures
1193 - clean ups to subtree registration API
1196 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

1229 =====================================================
1231 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1232 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1233 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1234 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1235 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1238 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1239 -Bsymbolic-functions
1240 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1241 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1242 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1243 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1244 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1247 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1248 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1249 nobody was doing that.
1250 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1252 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1253 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1255 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1256 have a serial number
1257 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1259 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1261 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1262 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1263 has finished running on GDBus services.
1264 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1265 this due to the obvious race)
1266 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1267 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1270 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1271 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1272 arguments and different behaviour
1273 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1274 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1275 strings instead of utf8 strings
1276 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1277 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1278 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1279 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1280 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1281 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1282 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1283 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1284 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser

1288 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1289 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1290 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1291 overridden using <override>.
1292 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1294 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1295 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1296 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1297 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1298 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1299 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1300 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1301 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1302 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1303 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1304 being set due to a premature free
1305 - command line tool: bash completion support
1306 - chain up in _finalize
1307 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1309 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1310 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1311 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1313 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1314 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1315 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1316 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
1317 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
1321 - always intern GBinding prop names
1322 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
1323 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1324 - GNode docs improvements
1325 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts

2038 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
2039 while loading or saving it.
2040 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
2041 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2042 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2045 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2046 interfaces to dynamic types.
2049 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
2050 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

2770 ===================================================
2772 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2773 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2774 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
2775 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
2776 also uses less memory overall.
2778 * Make g_poll available as public api
2780 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2781 that a GError is set or unset
2783 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2785 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2786 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2788 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2789 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

4402 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
4403 =================================================
4405 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
4406 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
4407 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
4409 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
4410 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
4413 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
4414 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
4415 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
4417 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
4419 * Memory management:
4420 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
4421 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
4422 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
4423 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
4424 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
4425 never worked as intended.
4426 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
4427 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
4428 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
4429 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
