1 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2 ==============================================
4 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
10 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
12 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
15 g_settings_range_check
16 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
18 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
19 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
21 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
22 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
25 g_main_context_invoke_full
27 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
28 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
29 looking for default applications.
31 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
32 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
33 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
34 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
36 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
37 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
38 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

49 629274 GNetworkService doesn't fallback when there is no SRV record
50 629289 g_error() used wrong, produces core dump
51 629687 leaks class refcount in gsocketcontrolmessage
52 629849 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_source_get_context: assertion `!SOURCE_...
53 629945 GDBus deadlock in g_bus_get_sync()

55 630077 GDateTime week number support
56 630185 Allow NULL strings in g_quark_try_string()
57 630797 docs mention non-existent g_object_dispose()
58 630968 gschema-compile problems on power g5
59 631263 GSettings needs range/choice APIs
60 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
61 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
62 631410 Port gapplookupgconf.c to using x-scheme-handler/
63 632884 Possible deadlock in g_object_remove_toggle_ref()

293 =====================================================
295 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
296 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
297 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
299 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
300 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
301 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
302 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
305 There have been many other improvements, however:
308 - vastly improved test coverage
309 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
310 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
311 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

360 =====================================================
362 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
363 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
364 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
365 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
366 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
367 | required (and will be along soon). |

428 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
429 =====================================================
431 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
432 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
433 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
434 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
435 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
438 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
440 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
441 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
442 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
443 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
444 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
447 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
448 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
449 nobody was doing that.
450 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
452 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
453 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
455 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
457 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
459 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
461 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
462 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
463 has finished running on GDBus services.
464 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
465 this due to the obvious race)
466 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
467 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
470 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
471 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
472 arguments and different behaviour
473 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
474 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
475 strings instead of utf8 strings
476 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
477 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
478 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
479 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
480 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
481 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
482 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
483 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
484 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
487 - improved documentation
488 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
489 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
490 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
491 overridden using <override>.
492 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
494 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
495 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
496 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
497 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
498 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
499 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
500 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
501 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
502 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
503 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
504 being set due to a premature free
505 - command line tool: bash completion support
506 - chain up in _finalize
507 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
509 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
510 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
511 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
513 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
514 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
515 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
516 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
517 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
521 - always intern GBinding prop names
522 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
523 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
524 - GNode docs improvements
525 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
526 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
527 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
531 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
532 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests

535 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
536 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
537 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
538 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
540 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
541 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
542 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
543 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
544 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
545 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
546 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
547 610784 array test failing
548 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
549 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

658 | WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and |
659 | GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In |
660 | particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
662 +----------------------------------------------------------------+
665 - Use Gio's default async implementation
666 - Fix proxy construction for objects with no properties
667 - Fix error handling in synchronous initialization
668 - Do not dispatch calls to unregistered objects
669 - Add _with_closures alternative functions

1234 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1235 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1236 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1237 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1238 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1239 while loading or saving it.
1240 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1241 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1242 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1245 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1246 interfaces to dynamic types.
