449 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
450 ====================================================
452 * GSettings fixes/improvements
454 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
456 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
457 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
460 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
461 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
464 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
466 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
468 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
471 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
472 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
474 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
476 * Applications/Actions
478 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
479 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
482 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
483 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
485 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
486 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
487 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
488 not itself at fault for the errant call)
492 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
493 accesses that are performed in common situations
495 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
496 are installed/removed
498 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
499 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
501 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
502 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
507 - ignore qualified tags, as above
509 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
510 that test programs don't pick them up
512 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
514 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
515 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
516 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
517 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
519 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
520 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
522 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
523 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
524 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
528 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
530 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
532 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

584 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
585 ====================================================
587 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
591 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
593 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
594 them can restart the application with an action (via
599 - new API for launching subprocesses
601 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
603 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
605 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
606 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
608 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
610 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
612 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
613 actions and listing apps and actions
615 - bash tab completion is supported
617 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
619 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
620 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
622 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
625 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
626 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
631 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
633 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
634 class and inotify backend
636 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
637 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
639 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
644 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
645 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
646 when there are invalid schemas installed
648 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
652 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
653 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
655 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
658 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
659 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
660 semantics of the interface in each case
662 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
663 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
665 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
667 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
668 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
669 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
670 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
674 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
677 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
679 * Portability improvements
681 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
683 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
684 actually support it (like Hurd)
686 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
688 * Other small API changes/additions
690 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
691 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
692 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
694 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
696 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
699 * GMainContext/GSource
701 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
703 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
704 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
705 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
706 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
707 broken and should probably be fixed.
709 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
710 require use of a linked list
714 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
715 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
716 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
718 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
722 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
723 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
724 gphoto, archive, at least).
726 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
728 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
731 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
732 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
733 (which shared exactly the same bug)
735 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
737 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
739 * Many documentation improvements
742 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
743 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
744 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

797 What's new in Glib 2.38
798 ========================
800 * Application support
802 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
803 desktop entry specification
805 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
806 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
807 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
809 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
810 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
811 to launch other applications
813 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
814 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
818 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
819 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
820 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
821 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
822 any problems that this may have caused.
824 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
825 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
826 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
827 (allowing memory savings)
829 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
830 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
831 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
833 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
834 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
837 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
838 without destroying one of the objects involved
842 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
843 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
844 with a finite number of cases
846 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
847 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
849 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
850 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
851 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
852 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
855 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
859 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
860 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
861 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
863 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
865 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
866 and an API to check them
868 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
869 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
871 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
872 with most functions, but this is not recommended
876 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
877 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
878 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
881 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
882 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
883 particular directory (akin to 'du').
885 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
890 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
891 allow for regexp matching on streams
893 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
894 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
895 g_variant_new_printf()
899 - we can now generate TAP output
901 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
902 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
904 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
909 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1219 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
1220 ==============================================
1222 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1223 and a parser API for them is now provided
1225 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1226 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1227 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1275 * Translation updates:
1287 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1288 ==============================================
1290 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1292 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1293 the destination file
1295 - fix some 'available since' annotations
1297 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

1303 * Translations updated:
1319 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1320 ==============================================
1322 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1323 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1324 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1325 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1379 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1380 ==============================================
1382 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1383 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1384 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1385 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1386 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1390 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1391 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1393 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

1395 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
1396 * documentation fixes
1397 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
1400 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

1414 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1415 ==============================================
1417 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1419 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1420 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1422 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1423 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1425 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1438 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1439 ==============================================
1441 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1444 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1445 ready at a specified monotonic time
1447 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1449 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
1452 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
1453 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

1551 * Translation updates:
1566 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1567 ==============================================
1569 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1570 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1571 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1572 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1573 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1575 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1576 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1577 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1578 particular, are incompatible.
1580 * Bugs fixed in this release:

1625 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1626 ==============================================
1628 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1629 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1630 causing regressions in applications.
1632 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1633 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1634 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1637 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1638 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1639 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1641 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1643 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1645 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1647 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1649 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1651 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1653 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1655 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1657 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1659 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

1709 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
1710 ==============================================
1712 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1713 give feedback if they cause trouble:
1715 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
1716 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
1718 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
1720 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
1722 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
1724 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
1726 * GLib version macros updated
1728 * Update to Unicode 6.2
1730 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
1732 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
1734 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
1736 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
1737 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

2553 ==============================================
2556 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2557 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2558 to an overridden property
2559 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2560 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2562 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
2563 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
2565 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

2607 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2608 ==============================================
2610 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2611 moved to GtkApplication.
2613 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2614 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2615 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2616 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2618 * lots of documentation improvements
2620 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2622 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2623 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2625 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2627 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2629 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2631 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2632 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2635 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2636 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
2637 664699 glib: documentation fixes

2640 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
2641 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
2642 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
2643 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
2644 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
2645 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
2647 * Translations updated:
2651 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2652 ==============================================
2654 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2655 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2656 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2659 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2660 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2661 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2664 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2665 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2666 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2667 through an idle on the context.
2669 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2670 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2671 fixes here and there.
2673 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2674 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2675 API available outside GLib
2677 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2716 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
2718 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
2719 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2720 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2722 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
2725 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
2726 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
2727 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
2730 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
2731 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

2738 - various GIO file and stream fixes
2739 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
2741 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2742 =================================================
2744 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2745 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2747 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2748 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2749 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2750 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2751 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2752 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2753 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2754 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2755 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2756 required (and has been deprecated)
2757 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2758 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2759 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2760 without explicit initialisation.
2761 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2762 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2763 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2765 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2766 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2767 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2768 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2769 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2770 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2771 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2773 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2774 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2775 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2776 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2777 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2778 - other implementation details changed
2780 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2781 deprecated/ directory.
2783 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2784 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2785 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2787 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2788 platform over a year ago).
2790 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2791 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2793 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2794 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2796 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2797 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2798 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2799 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2802 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2803 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2806 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2808 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2809 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2811 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2812 in a multi-threaded program
2814 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2815 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2818 - drop -uninstalled variants
2819 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2821 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2822 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2823 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2825 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2827 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2828 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2831 - many code generation updates and improvements
2832 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2835 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2836 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2838 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2840 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2843 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2844 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2846 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2847 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2849 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2851 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
2855 * Partial list of bugs closed:
2856 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3282 ==============================================
3284 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3285 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3286 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3287 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3288 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3289 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3291 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3292 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

3349 * Updated translations:
3358 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3359 ==============================================
3362 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3363 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3364 an 'object manager' pattern:
3365 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3366 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3367 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3368 And server-side implementations:
3369 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3370 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3371 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3375 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3379 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3380 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3381 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3382 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3385 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3386 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3389 * Unix-specific APIs:
3390 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3391 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3392 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3393 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3394 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3395 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
3398 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

3426 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3427 ==============================================
3430 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3431 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3432 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3435 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3436 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3437 situations has been improved
3440 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3441 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3444 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3445 match strcmp() semantics
3446 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3447 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3448 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3450 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3451 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3454 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3456 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3458 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3459 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3460 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3795 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3797 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3798 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3799 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3803 158725 free linked list with data

3816 * Translation updates:
3822 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3823 ==============================================
3825 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3826 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3828 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3829 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3831 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3833 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3835 g_settings_get_range
3836 g_settings_range_check
3837 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3839 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3840 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3842 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3843 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3845 g_main_context_invoke
3846 g_main_context_invoke_full
3848 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3849 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3850 looking for default applications.
3852 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3853 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3854 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3855 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3857 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3858 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3859 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4118 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4120 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4121 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4122 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4123 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4126 There have been many other improvements, however:
4129 - vastly improved test coverage
4130 - old tests moved to the gtester framework

4183 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4184 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4185 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4186 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |

4249 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4250 =====================================================
4252 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4253 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4254 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4255 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4256 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4259 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4260 -Bsymbolic-functions
4261 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4262 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4263 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4264 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4265 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4268 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4269 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4270 nobody was doing that.
4271 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4273 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4274 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4276 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4277 have a serial number
4278 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4280 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4282 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4283 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4284 has finished running on GDBus services.
4285 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4286 this due to the obvious race)
4287 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4288 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4291 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4292 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4293 arguments and different behaviour
4294 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4295 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4296 strings instead of utf8 strings
4297 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4298 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4299 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4300 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4301 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4302 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4303 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4304 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4305 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4308 - improved documentation
4309 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4310 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4311 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4312 overridden using <override>.
4313 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4315 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4316 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4317 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4318 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4319 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4320 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4321 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4322 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4323 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4324 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4325 being set due to a premature free
4326 - command line tool: bash completion support
4327 - chain up in _finalize
4328 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4330 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4331 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4332 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4334 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4335 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4336 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4337 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4338 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4342 - always intern GBinding prop names
4343 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4344 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4345 - GNode docs improvements
4346 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4347 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4348 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4352 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4353 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4354 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4355 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4356 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4357 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4358 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4359 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4361 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4362 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4363 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4364 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4365 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4366 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4367 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4368 610784 array test failing
4369 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

5055 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
5056 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
5057 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
5058 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
5059 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
5060 while loading or saving it.
5061 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
5062 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5063 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5066 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5067 interfaces to dynamic types.
5070 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

5794 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

5797 also uses less memory overall.

5806 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
5807 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
5809 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
5810 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

7470 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
7474 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
7475 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,

8434 * Added convenient functions for launching new processes (g_spawn_*),
8435 and shell quoting/unquoting functions. [Havoc]
8436 * Split glib.h into many headers. [Sebastian]
8437 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
8438 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
8439 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
8440 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
8441 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
8442 * Many documentation improvements.
8447 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
