1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
2 ==============================================
4 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
7 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
8 and will trigger a warning.
11 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation
13 - Set prgname to appid for services
16 549783 gtester lacks framework for tests with data files
17 692848 Fix property example in gobject tutorial

29 701878 Check wakeup() before iteration(TRUE) doesn't block
45 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
46 ==============================================
48 * add support for installed tests:
49 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
51 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
52 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
54 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
56 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
58 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
59 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
60 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
62 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
78 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
79 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance

91 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
93 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
94 ==============================================
96 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
97 and a parser API for them is now provided
99 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
100 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
101 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

149 * Translation updates:
161 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
162 ==============================================
164 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
166 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
169 - fix some 'available since' annotations
171 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
174 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

177 * Translations updated:
193 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
194 ==============================================
196 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
197 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
198 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
199 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

223 * Translation updates:
253 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
254 ==============================================
256 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
257 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
258 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
259 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
260 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
264 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
265 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
267 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
268 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
269 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
270 * documentation fixes
271 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
274 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

278 693502 Cross-compiling documentation: typo (np -> no)
279 693673 add g_dbus_address_escape_value()
280 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends
288 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
289 ==============================================
291 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
293 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
294 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
296 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
297 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
299 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
312 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
313 ==============================================
315 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
318 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
319 ready at a specified monotonic time
321 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
323 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
326 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
327 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

425 * Translation updates:
440 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
441 ==============================================
443 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
444 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
445 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
446 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
447 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
449 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
450 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
451 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
452 particular, are incompatible.
454 * Bugs fixed in this release:

499 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
500 ==============================================
502 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
503 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
504 causing regressions in applications.
506 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
507 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
508 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
511 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
512 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
513 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
515 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
517 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
519 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
521 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
523 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
525 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
527 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
529 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
531 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
533 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

583 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
584 ==============================================
586 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
587 give feedback if they cause trouble:
589 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
590 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
592 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
594 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
596 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
598 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
600 * GLib version macros updated
602 * Update to Unicode 6.2
604 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
606 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
608 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
610 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
611 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

1430 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1431 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1432 to an overridden property
1433 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1434 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1436 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1437 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
1439 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

1481 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1482 ==============================================
1484 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1485 moved to GtkApplication.
1487 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1488 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1489 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1490 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1492 * lots of documentation improvements
1494 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1496 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1497 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1499 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1501 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1503 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1505 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1506 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1509 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1510 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1514 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1515 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

1521 * Translations updated:
1525 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1526 ==============================================
1528 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1529 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1530 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1533 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1534 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1535 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1538 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1539 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1540 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1541 through an idle on the context.
1543 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1544 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1545 fixes here and there.
1547 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1548 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1549 API available outside GLib
1551 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1592 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1593 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1594 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1596 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1599 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

1613 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1615 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1616 =================================================
1618 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1619 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1621 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1622 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1623 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1624 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1625 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1626 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1627 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1628 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1629 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1630 required (and has been deprecated)
1631 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1632 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1633 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1634 without explicit initialisation.
1635 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1636 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1637 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1639 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1640 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1641 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1642 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1643 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1644 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1645 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1647 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1648 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1649 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1650 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1651 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1652 - other implementation details changed
1654 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1655 deprecated/ directory.
1657 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1658 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1659 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1661 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1662 platform over a year ago).
1664 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1665 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1667 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1668 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1670 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1671 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1672 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1673 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1676 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1677 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1680 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1682 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1683 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1685 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1686 in a multi-threaded program
1688 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1689 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1692 - drop -uninstalled variants
1693 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1695 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1696 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1697 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1699 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1701 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1702 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1705 - many code generation updates and improvements
1706 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1709 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1710 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1712 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1714 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1717 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1718 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1720 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1721 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1723 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1725 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1729 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1730 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

2156 ==============================================
2158 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2159 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2160 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2161 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2162 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2163 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2165 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2166 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
2168 * Access to quarks is now lockless
2170 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

2223 * Updated translations:
2232 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2233 ==============================================
2236 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2237 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2238 an 'object manager' pattern:
2239 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2240 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2241 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2242 And server-side implementations:
2243 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2244 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2245 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2249 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2253 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2254 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2255 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2256 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2259 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2260 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2263 * Unix-specific APIs:
2264 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2265 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2266 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2267 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2268 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2269 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2293 * Updated translations
2300 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2301 ==============================================
2304 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2305 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2306 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2309 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2310 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2311 situations has been improved
2314 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2315 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2318 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2319 match strcmp() semantics
2320 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2321 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2322 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2324 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2325 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2328 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2330 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2332 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2333 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2334 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2665 - Support environment passing
2668 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2669 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2671 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2672 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2673 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

2690 * Translation updates:
2696 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2697 ==============================================
2699 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2700 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2702 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2703 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2705 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2707 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2709 g_settings_get_range
2710 g_settings_range_check
2711 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2713 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2714 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2716 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2717 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2719 g_main_context_invoke
2720 g_main_context_invoke_full
2722 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2723 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2724 looking for default applications.
2726 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2727 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2728 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2729 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2731 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2732 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2733 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2991 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2992 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2994 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2995 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2996 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2997 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3000 There have been many other improvements, however:
3003 - vastly improved test coverage
3004 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3005 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3006 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
3009 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
3012 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
3013 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage

3015 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
3017 - sort property names correctly
3018 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
3020 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing

3024 without mapping functions
3025 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
3028 - improve closure support for bindings
3029 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
3032 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

3057 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3058 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3059 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3060 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3061 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3062 | required (and will be along soon). |

3123 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3124 =====================================================
3126 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3127 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3128 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3129 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3130 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3133 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3134 -Bsymbolic-functions
3135 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3136 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3137 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3138 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3139 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3142 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3143 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3144 nobody was doing that.
3145 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3147 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3148 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3150 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3151 have a serial number
3152 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3154 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3156 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3157 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3158 has finished running on GDBus services.
3159 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3160 this due to the obvious race)
3161 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3162 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3165 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3166 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3167 arguments and different behaviour
3168 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3169 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3170 strings instead of utf8 strings
3171 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3172 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3173 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3174 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3175 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3176 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3177 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3178 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3179 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3182 - improved documentation
3183 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3184 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3185 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3186 overridden using <override>.
3187 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3189 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3190 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3191 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3192 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3193 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3194 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3195 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3196 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3197 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3198 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3199 being set due to a premature free
3200 - command line tool: bash completion support
3201 - chain up in _finalize
3202 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3204 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3205 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3206 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3208 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3209 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3210 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3211 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3212 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3216 - always intern GBinding prop names
3217 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3218 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3219 - GNode docs improvements
3220 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3221 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3222 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3226 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3227 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3228 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3229 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3230 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3231 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3232 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3233 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3235 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3236 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3237 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3238 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3239 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3240 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3241 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3242 610784 array test failing
3243 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3244 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

3936 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3937 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3940 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3941 interfaces to dynamic types.

4668 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

4671 also uses less memory overall.

4676 that a GError is set or unset
4678 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4680 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4681 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4683 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4684 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
