250 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
254 158725 free linked list with data

276 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
277 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
279 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
280 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
282 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
284 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
287 g_settings_range_check
288 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
290 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
291 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
293 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
294 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
296 g_main_context_invoke
297 g_main_context_invoke_full
299 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
300 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
301 looking for default applications.
303 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
304 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
305 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
306 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
308 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
309 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
310 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

568 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
569 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
571 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
572 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
573 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
574 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
577 There have been many other improvements, however:

704 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
705 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
706 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
707 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
710 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
712 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
713 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
714 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
715 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
716 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
719 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
720 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
721 nobody was doing that.
722 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
724 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
725 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
727 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
729 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
731 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
733 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
734 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
735 has finished running on GDBus services.
736 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
737 this due to the obvious race)
738 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
739 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
742 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
743 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
744 arguments and different behaviour
745 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
746 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
747 strings instead of utf8 strings
748 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
749 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
750 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
751 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
752 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
753 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
754 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
755 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
756 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
759 - improved documentation
760 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
761 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
762 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
763 overridden using <override>.
764 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
766 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
767 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
768 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
769 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
770 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
771 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
772 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
773 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
774 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
775 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
776 being set due to a premature free
777 - command line tool: bash completion support
778 - chain up in _finalize
779 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
781 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
782 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
783 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
785 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
786 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
787 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
788 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
789 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
793 - always intern GBinding prop names
794 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
795 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
796 - GNode docs improvements
797 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
798 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
799 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
803 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
804 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
805 - improved tests for GKeyfile
806 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
807 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
808 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
809 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
810 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
812 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
813 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
814 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
815 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
816 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

1420 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
1421 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
1423 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
1424 when g_type_init() is called.

1503 ===================================================
1506 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1507 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1508 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1509 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1510 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1511 while loading or saving it.
1512 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1513 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1514 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1517 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1518 interfaces to dynamic types.
1521 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
1522 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
1523 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

2245 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

2248 also uses less memory overall.

2253 that a GError is set or unset

2257 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2258 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2260 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2261 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3885 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
3886 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
3887 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
3889 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
3891 * Memory management:
3892 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

3895 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
3896 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
3897 never worked as intended.
3898 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
3899 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3900 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3901 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3902 efficient and scalable implementation.

3920 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
3921 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3925 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3926 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
3927 since they are in glib.h
