37 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
38 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
40 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
41 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
42 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
43 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
46 There have been many other improvements, however:
49 - vastly improved test coverage
50 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
51 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
52 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

63 - sort property names correctly
64 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
66 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
69 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings

101 =====================================================
103 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
104 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
105 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
106 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
107 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
108 | required (and will be along soon). |
109 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

169 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
170 =====================================================
172 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
173 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
174 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
175 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
176 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
179 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
181 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
182 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
183 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
184 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
185 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
188 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
189 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
190 nobody was doing that.
191 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
193 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
194 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
196 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
198 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
200 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
202 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
203 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
204 has finished running on GDBus services.
205 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
206 this due to the obvious race)
207 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
208 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
211 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
212 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
213 arguments and different behaviour
214 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
215 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
216 strings instead of utf8 strings
217 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
218 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
219 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
220 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
221 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
222 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
223 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
224 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
225 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
228 - improved documentation
229 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
230 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
231 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
232 overridden using <override>.
233 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
235 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
236 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
237 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
238 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
239 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
240 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
241 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
242 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
243 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
244 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
245 being set due to a premature free
246 - command line tool: bash completion support
247 - chain up in _finalize
248 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
250 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
251 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
252 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
254 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
255 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
256 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
257 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
258 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
262 - always intern GBinding prop names
263 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
264 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
265 - GNode docs improvements
266 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
267 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
268 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
272 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
273 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
274 - improved tests for GKeyfile
275 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
276 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
277 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
278 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
279 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
281 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
282 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
283 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
284 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
285 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
286 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
287 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
288 610784 array test failing
289 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
290 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

292 622124 implement flags

306 623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
307 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
308 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty
309 623720 gschema.dtd does not contain enum definitions
310 623770 quoting of expand_macro in gdesktopappinfo.c
311 623772 gdesktopappinfo.c, function child_setup

976 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
977 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

979 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
980 while loading or saving it.
981 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
982 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
983 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
986 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
987 interfaces to dynamic types.

1714 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

1717 also uses less memory overall.

1722 that a GError is set or unset
1724 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
1726 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1727 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1729 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1730 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
