215 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
216 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add

277 * Updated translations:
286 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
287 ==============================================
290 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
291 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
292 an 'object manager' pattern:
293 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
294 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
295 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
296 And server-side implementations:
297 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
298 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
299 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
303 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
307 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
308 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
309 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
310 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
313 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
314 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
317 * Unix-specific APIs:
318 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
319 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
320 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
321 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
322 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
323 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

341 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
342 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
343 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings

354 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
355 ==============================================
358 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
359 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
360 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
363 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
364 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
365 situations has been improved
368 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
369 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
372 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
373 match strcmp() semantics
374 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
375 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
376 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
378 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
379 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
382 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
384 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
386 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
387 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
388 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

665 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
666 ==============================================
668 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
669 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
676 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
679 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
681 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

718 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
719 - Support environment passing
722 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
723 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
725 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
726 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
727 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
731 158725 free linked list with data

750 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
751 ==============================================
753 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
754 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
756 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
757 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
759 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
761 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
764 g_settings_range_check
765 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
767 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
768 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
770 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
771 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
773 g_main_context_invoke
774 g_main_context_invoke_full
776 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
777 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
778 looking for default applications.
780 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
781 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
782 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
783 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
785 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
786 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
787 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

1044 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1045 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1046 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1048 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1049 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1050 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1051 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1054 There have been many other improvements, however:
1057 - vastly improved test coverage
1058 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1059 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1060 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
1063 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

1108 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
1109 =====================================================
1111 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1112 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1113 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1114 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1115 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1116 | required (and will be along soon). |
1117 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1120 - cleanup automake setup
1121 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1122 - various docs fixups
1123 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
1124 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')

1129 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
1130 - add g_settings_reset()
1131 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
1134 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
1135 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
1136 - proper support for file descriptor passing
1137 - new flags parameter for sending messages

1140 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
1141 - constness fixes for introspection structures
1142 - clean ups to subtree registration API
1145 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

1177 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
1178 =====================================================
1180 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1181 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1182 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1183 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1184 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1187 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1188 -Bsymbolic-functions
1189 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1190 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1191 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1192 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1193 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1196 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1197 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1198 nobody was doing that.
1199 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1201 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1202 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1204 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1205 have a serial number
1206 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1208 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1210 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1211 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1212 has finished running on GDBus services.
1213 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1214 this due to the obvious race)
1215 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1216 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1219 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1220 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1221 arguments and different behaviour
1222 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1223 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1224 strings instead of utf8 strings
1225 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1226 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1227 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1228 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1229 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1230 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1231 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1232 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1233 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1236 - improved documentation
1237 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1238 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1239 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1240 overridden using <override>.
1241 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1243 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1244 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1245 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1246 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1247 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1248 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1249 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1250 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1251 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1252 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1253 being set due to a premature free
1254 - command line tool: bash completion support
1255 - chain up in _finalize
1256 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1258 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1259 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1260 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1262 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1263 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1264 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1265 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports

1990 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1991 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1994 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1995 interfaces to dynamic types.

2718 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
2719 ===================================================
2721 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2722 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2723 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
2724 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
2725 also uses less memory overall.
2727 * Make g_poll available as public api
2729 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2730 that a GError is set or unset
2732 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2734 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2735 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2737 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2738 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

4352 =================================================
4354 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
4355 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
4356 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
4358 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
4359 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
4362 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
4363 These functions handle negative offsets now, and

4366 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
4368 * Memory management:
4369 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

4371 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
4372 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
4373 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
4374 never worked as intended.
4375 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
4376 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
4377 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
4378 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
4379 efficient and scalable implementation.
4380 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
4383 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
4384 unnecessary recursion.
4387 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
4388 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
4389 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
4393 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
4396 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
4397 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
4398 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
4402 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
4403 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
4404 since they are in glib.h
