Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
==============================================

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

* GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
  g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

* GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

* GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the
  name 'nexstep'

Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
==============================================

* GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus.  Those have been
  moved to GtkApplication.

* the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
  GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
  handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup.  This allows Gtk to
  properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.

* lots of documentation improvements

* bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes

* the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
  we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)

* g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter

* new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()

* desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"

* gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
  installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)

* Bugs fixed:
 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
 664699 glib: documentation fixes
 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory

Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
==============================================

* EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication.  Menus
  are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
  There have also been many related improvements to action group
  functionality.

  These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases.  In
  particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
  menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
  types of menubars.

* GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
  unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
  the object was exported on.  It now unconditionally dispatches these
  through an idle on the context.

* Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
  longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
  fixes here and there.

* Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
  byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
  API available outside GLib

* GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple
  connections

* Bugs fixed:

Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
==============================================

* Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows

* glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/

* EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
  APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
  to introspect the contents of schemas.  This API may change.

* Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

* GDBus:
 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality

* Deprecations:
 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

* docs
 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib

* GIO:
 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
 - various GIO file and stream fixes
 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
=================================================

This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth).  The
list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.

* Major changes to threading and synchronisation
 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
   support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
   been ripped out.  This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
   caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
   single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
   required (and has been deprecated)
 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
   initialisation.  Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
   without explicit initialisation.
 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
   Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
   deprecated.
 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
   monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
   implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
   (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
   have been fixed
 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated.  The
   concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
   have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
   and ability to manipulate the stack size.
 - GThread is now a refcounted type
 - other implementation details changed

* Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
  deprecated/ directory.

* New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
  warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
  implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).

* GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
  platform over a year ago).

* It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
  "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.

* The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
  missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.

* Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext.  This is
  because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
  by both processes.  We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
  (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.

* GApplication
  - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
  - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
    quit logic)

* Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris

* Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
  platform defines 'char' as unsigned)

* some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
  in a multi-threaded program

* Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
  time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).

* pkg-config files:
  - drop -uninstalled variants
  - remove gobject dependency on gthread

* New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
  implemented without use of a mutex.  Cleaned up atomic-related
  compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.

* SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements

* Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
  introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.

* GDBus:
  - many code generation updates and improvements
  - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs

* GVariant:
  - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
  - substantial docs improvements/clarifications

* GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed

* mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
  instead of mtab

* new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
  GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)

* use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
  in functions like g_ascii_strtod()

* GMappedFile can now be created from an fd

* error message strings grammar/i18n fixes

* many docs updates

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
==============================================

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

* A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
  including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

* Access to quarks is now lockless

* GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

* g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

* Introspection improvements:
 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder
 - Annotation fixes in GDBus, GVariant, g_base64_

* Bugs fixed:

Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
==============================================

* GDBus:
 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
   objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
   an 'object manager' pattern:
   GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
   These interfaces have client-side implementations:
   GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
   And server-side implementations:
   GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
   to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
   descriptions in XML

* GTest:
 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
   tests as failed

* GDesktopAppInfo
 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
   g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
   g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()

* GHashTable:
 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
   large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
   to store sets.

* Unix-specific APIs:
  GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
  meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
  g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
  with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
  sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
  signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

* Bugs fixed:
 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed
 635694 gdbus aborting due to unauthorized socket in DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
 637561 Crash when using G_DBUS_SERVER_FLAGS_RUN_IN_THREAD
 642935 g_date_time_format() prints wrong value for %z and timezone -0800
 643134 g_dbus_message_copy
 644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
==============================================

* GApplication
 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns

* GDBus
 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
   situations has been improved

* GVariant
 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}

* GDateTime:
 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
   match strcmp() semantics
 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
   has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
   called to update the cached information about the local timezone

* GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
  and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable

* GSettings:
 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas

* Commandline utilities are now fully translated

* Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
  always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
  using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

* Bugs fixed:

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
==============================================

* The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
  dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
  64-bit integer.
  Affected functions:
  g_source_get_time
  g_periodic_unblock
  g_get_monotonic_time
  g_get_real_time
  The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
  discouraged.

* GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally

* There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
  in async GIO APIs:
  g_simple_async_result_take_error
  g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
  g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle

* There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
  g_variant_lookup

* It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
  D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
  G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE

* Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
  g_get_user_runtime_dir

* Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed

* Bugs fixed:
 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
==============================================

* GApplication
 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
 - Support environment passing

* GSettings
 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values

* GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
  timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
  which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
  been deprecated

* Bugs fixed:
 158725 free linked list with data
 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
==============================================

* GDateTime now has full week number support.
  New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year

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

* GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems

* GSettings has more complete support for ranges
  New API:
    g_settings_get_range
    g_settings_range_check
  The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.

* GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
  and examples. The action support is not complete yet.

* The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
  which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
  New API:
    g_main_context_invoke
    g_main_context_invoke_full

* The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
  removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
  looking for default applications.

* On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
  folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
  and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
  this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.

* A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
  API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
  will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

Bug fixes:
 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.12 to GLib 2.25.13
=====================================================

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
|   WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI.  Weird, eh?   |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
being distributed in the tarball.  It was being used to build some parts
of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones).  This was causing some very
serious problems.

There have been many other improvements, however:

 Build and testing:
  - vastly improved test coverage
  - old tests moved to the gtester framework
  - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
  - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

 GVariant:
  - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

 GDBus:
  - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
  - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
  - improve debug output, add some extra options
  - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
    explaining why
  - sort property names correctly
  - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
    anyway
  - use effective uid/gid for credential passing

 GSettings:
  - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
    without mapping functions
  - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation

 Binding:
  - improve closure support for bindings
  - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

 Other:
  - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

Bugs closed:
 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config
 619026 avoid warning in gutils.h when using gcc with -Wconversion
 624739 Please fix POTFILES.in
 625472 Valgrind claims uninitialized bytes used
 625500 g_date_set_time_val documentation doesn't mention local time
 625628 GDBusProxy: wrong property name sorting
 625753 Incorrect flags used in g_dbus_connection_call_sync()
 625827 Expand documentation about error quark naming
 625988 builddir != srcdir issues
 626107 glibconfig.h is being disted

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
=====================================================

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

Build:
  - cleanup automake setup
  - rename configure.in to configure.ac
  - various docs fixups
  - move glibconfig.h to glib/
  - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')

GSettings:
  - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
    in a schema)
  - change GSettingsBackend vtable
  - add g_settings_reset()
  - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties

GDBus:
  - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
  - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
  - proper support for file descriptor passing
  - new flags parameter for sending messages
  - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
  - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
    G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
  - constness fixes for introspection structures
  - clean ups to subtree registration API

Other:
  - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
  - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
  - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
  - GIO: clean up credentials passing
  - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
  - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection

Bugs closed:
 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
 617483 Credentials passing
 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property
 623293 vendor override files
 623810 Message serialization bug
 623815 Don't check sender for GDBusProxy objects where name is not set
 624473 GDBusSubtreeIntrospectFunc return type
 624483 GDBusSubtreeEnumerateFunc clarification
 624484 GDBusSubtreeDispatchFunc clarification
 624754 gdbusaddress.c missing sys/wait.h
 624968 div by zero in g_malloc_n family

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
=====================================================

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
| These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
| a new version of GTK+ to be installed.                            |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

Build:
  - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
    -Bsymbolic-functions
  - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
  - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
  - use proper feature test macros for isnan
  - use pkg-config to check for zlib
  - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am

GDBus:
  - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
    GDBusProxy.  This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
    nobody was doing that.
  - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
    outgoing messages
  - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
    GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
    themselves
  - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
    have a serial number
  - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
    variable
  - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
    flags
  - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
    GDBusConnection.  Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
    has finished running on GDBus services.
  - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
    this due to the obvious race)
  - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
  - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged

GVariant:
  - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
  - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
    arguments and different behaviour
  - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
    essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
    strings instead of utf8 strings
  - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
    STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
  - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
    arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
  - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
    arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
  - improved gobject-introspection annotation
  - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
  - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser

GSettings:
  - improved documentation
  - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
  - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
    'extends=' attribute).  Values of keys in the base schema can be
    overridden using <override>.
  - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
  - lots of new tests
  - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
  - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
      gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
      gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
    will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
    enums and flags in the specified .h files.
  - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
    (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
  - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
  - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
    being set due to a premature free
  - command line tool: bash completion support
  - chain up in _finalize
  - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
    post-processing
  - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
    GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
  - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
    warn)
  - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
  - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
    that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
  - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
  - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
    the keyfile

Other:
  - always intern GBinding prop names
  - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
  - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
  - GNode docs improvements
  - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
  - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
  - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
    SystemTap)

Tests:
  - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
  - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
  - improved tests for GKeyfile
  - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
    CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
  - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
  - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
  - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test

 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
 610784 array test failing
 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
 622124 implement flags
 622127 GSettings extended key validation
 622128 retry with default value for failed mapping
 622294 More annotations for GVariant
 622565 glib-compile-schemas fails when no schemas
 622600 Fix missing prototype warning
 622813 gsettings mapping & enum buglet
 623142 Ensure ::new-connection runs before processing D-Bus messages
 623143 Never require non-closed connections
 623319 use g_parse_debug_string for dbus debug flags
 623401 process enums first
 623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
 623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"
 623473 zlib should be checked with pkg-config
 623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty
 623720 gschema.dtd does not contain enum definitions
 623770 quoting of expand_macro in gdesktopappinfo.c

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.8 to GLib 2.25.9
===================================================

+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and   |
| GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In  |
| particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
| this one.                                                      |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+

* GDBus

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
===================================================

* GIO:
 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
   suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
   replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
   GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
   GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
   while loading or saving it.
 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
   the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.

* GObject:
 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
   interfaces to dynamic types.

* GModule:

   it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
   against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
   support.

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.20.x to GLib 2.21.0
===================================================

* GIO:
 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
   race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
   GCancellable.
 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
   UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
   for actual socket I/O.
 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
   hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.

* Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double
  types, suitable for use with GHashTable.

* GArray, GPtrArray and GByteArray can be ref counted now, and have
  boxed types.

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
===================================================

* Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead 
  of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation 
  significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and 
  no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it 
  also uses less memory overall.

* Make g_poll available as public api

* New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert 
  that a GError is set or unset

* g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable

* g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
  New functions to clean up app infos and content types

* When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
  and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

* Bugs fixed:
 505361 gunixinputstream.c assumes poll() available

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.14.x to GLib 2.15.0
===================================================

Major new features:

 * GIO: a VFS API, designed to replace GnomeVFS. The GIO implementation 
   in GLib has support for local filesystems. The new, separate gvfs 
   module contains various backend implementations (cifs, ftp, sftp,
   http, ...)

 * GChecksum: provides various hash algorithms, such as MD5, SHA-1
   and SHA-256
 
 * GTest: a test framework 
 
Smaller additions:

 * GHash:
 - GHash has iterators, as an alternative to g_hash_table_foreach

 * GMarkup: 
 - g_markup_parse_context_get_element_stack: New function to
   get the stack of open elements
 - G_MARKUP_PREFIX_ERROR_POSITION: New flag to improve error
   reporting
 - g_markup_collect_attributes: Convenience function for handling
   attributes

* GKeyFile: 
 - Functions that take a GError now return a boolean to indicate 
   success, instead of void
 - Various performance improvements

* GAsyncQueue:
 - g_async_queue_new_full: new function that allows to specify
   a free function for leftover elements
 
* GError:
 - g_prefix_error and g_propagate_prefixed_error: New functions
   to ease error propagation

* Internationalization:
 - C_: A new 2-argument variant of the Q_() macro 
 - Use native character set conversion API on Windows

* GLib builds with automake 1.10

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.0 to GLib 2.9.1
=================================================

* Memory management
 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to 
   g_slice_free_chain_with_offset()  [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]

* Data structures
 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]

* Thread support
 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed 
   [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have 
   been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority 
   queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked 
   variants  [Martyn Russell]

* GObject:
 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
   moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]

* Win32 changes:
 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]

* Misc new API:
 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64 
   constants [Andrew Paprocki]
 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the 
   compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
   by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
   extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]

* $LOGNAME is respected when determining user data. [Laszlo Peter]

* Other changes and bug fixes [Tim, Matthias, Behdad, 
  Christian Persch, Benedikt Meurer, Andrew Paprocki, 
  Kazuki Iwamoto, Alexis S. L. Carvalho, Stanislav Brabec,
  Andreas Schwab, Kalle Vahlman]

* Documentation
 - Deprecation warnings carry version information [Matthias]
 - The slice allocator has been documented [Matthias, Tim]
 - Other improvements [Morten Welinder]

Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
=================================================
* Unicode support:
 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1, 
   adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType 
   enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10 
   [Behdad Esfahbod]
 - The various Unicode character predicate functions 
   (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
   been optimized
   [Behdad]
 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
   These functions handle negative offsets now, and
   going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
   "stutter stepping".
   [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]

* Memory management:
 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
   GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
   and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
   data structures) have been deprecated, since they
   never worked as intended.
 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a 
   new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks. 
   The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple 
   wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
   efficient and scalable implementation. 
   [Tim Janik, Matthias]

* Pattern matching:
