553 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
556 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
557 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
559 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
561 * Applications/Actions
563 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
564 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
567 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
568 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
570 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
571 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
572 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
573 not itself at fault for the errant call)
577 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
578 accesses that are performed in common situations
580 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
581 are installed/removed
583 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
584 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
586 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
587 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
592 - ignore qualified tags, as above
594 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
595 that test programs don't pick them up
597 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
599 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
600 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
601 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
602 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
604 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
605 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
607 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
608 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
609 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
613 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
615 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails

669 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
670 ====================================================
672 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
676 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
678 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
679 them can restart the application with an action (via
684 - new API for launching subprocesses
686 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
688 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
690 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
691 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
693 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
695 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
697 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
698 actions and listing apps and actions
700 - bash tab completion is supported
702 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
704 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
705 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
707 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
710 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
711 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
716 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
718 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
719 class and inotify backend
721 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
722 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
724 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
729 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
730 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
731 when there are invalid schemas installed
733 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
737 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
738 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
740 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
743 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
744 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
745 semantics of the interface in each case
747 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
748 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
750 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
752 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
753 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
754 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
755 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
759 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
762 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
764 * Portability improvements
766 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
768 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
769 actually support it (like Hurd)
771 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
773 * Other small API changes/additions
775 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
776 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
777 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
779 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
781 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
784 * GMainContext/GSource
786 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
788 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
789 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
790 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
791 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
792 broken and should probably be fixed.
794 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
795 require use of a linked list
799 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
800 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
801 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
803 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
807 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
808 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
809 gphoto, archive, at least).
811 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
813 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
816 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
817 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
818 (which shared exactly the same bug)
820 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
822 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
824 * Many documentation improvements
827 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
828 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
829 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

882 What's new in Glib 2.38
883 ========================
885 * Application support
887 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
888 desktop entry specification
890 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
891 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
892 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
894 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
895 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
896 to launch other applications
898 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
899 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
903 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
904 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
905 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
906 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
907 any problems that this may have caused.
909 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
910 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
911 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
912 (allowing memory savings)
914 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
915 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
916 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
918 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
919 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
922 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
923 without destroying one of the objects involved
927 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
928 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
929 with a finite number of cases
931 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
932 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
934 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
935 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
936 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
937 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
940 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
944 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
945 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
946 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
948 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
950 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
951 and an API to check them
953 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
954 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
956 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
957 with most functions, but this is not recommended
961 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
962 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
963 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
966 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
967 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
968 particular directory (akin to 'du').
970 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
975 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
976 allow for regexp matching on streams
978 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
979 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
980 g_variant_new_printf()
984 - we can now generate TAP output
986 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
987 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
989 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
994 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1119 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1120 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1121 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1122 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
1124 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
1125 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
1128 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
1130 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

1218 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
1219 and will trigger a warning.

1256 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
1257 ==============================================
1259 * add support for installed tests:
1260 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
1262 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
1263 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
1265 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
1267 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
1269 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
1270 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
1271 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
1273 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
1289 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
1290 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance

1304 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
1305 ==============================================
1307 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1308 and a parser API for them is now provided
1310 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1311 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1312 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1372 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1373 ==============================================
1375 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1377 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1378 the destination file
1380 - fix some 'available since' annotations
1382 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

1404 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1405 ==============================================
1407 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1408 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1409 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1410 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1464 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1465 ==============================================
1467 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1468 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1469 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1470 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1471 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1475 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris

1500 ==============================================
1502 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1504 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1505 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1507 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1508 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1510 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1523 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1524 ==============================================
1526 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1529 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1530 ready at a specified monotonic time
1532 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1534 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

1651 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1652 ==============================================
1654 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1655 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1656 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1657 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1658 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1660 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1661 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1662 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1663 particular, are incompatible.
1665 * Bugs fixed in this release:

1710 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1711 ==============================================
1713 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1714 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1715 causing regressions in applications.
1717 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1718 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1719 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1722 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1723 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1724 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1726 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1728 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1730 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1732 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1734 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1736 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1738 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1740 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1742 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1744 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

1795 ==============================================
1797 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1798 give feedback if they cause trouble:

2641 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2642 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2643 to an overridden property
2644 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2645 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2647 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

2693 ==============================================
2695 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2696 moved to GtkApplication.
2698 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2699 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2700 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2701 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2703 * lots of documentation improvements
2705 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2707 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2708 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2710 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2712 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2714 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2716 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2717 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2720 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2721 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2732 * Translations updated:
2736 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2737 ==============================================
2739 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2740 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2741 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2744 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2745 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2746 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2749 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2750 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2751 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2752 through an idle on the context.
2754 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2755 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2756 fixes here and there.
2758 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2759 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2760 API available outside GLib
2762 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2804 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
2805 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
2807 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
2810 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

2826 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2827 =================================================
2829 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2830 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2832 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2833 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2834 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2835 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2836 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2837 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2838 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2839 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2840 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2841 required (and has been deprecated)
2842 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2843 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2844 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2845 without explicit initialisation.
2846 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2847 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2848 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2850 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2851 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2852 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2853 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2854 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2855 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2856 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2858 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2859 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2860 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2861 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2862 - GThread is now a refcounted type
2863 - other implementation details changed
2865 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
2866 deprecated/ directory.
2868 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
2869 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
2870 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
2872 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
2873 platform over a year ago).
2875 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
2876 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
2878 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
2879 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
2881 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
2882 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
2883 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
2884 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
2887 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
2888 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
2891 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
2893 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
2894 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
2896 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
2897 in a multi-threaded program
2899 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
2900 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
2903 - drop -uninstalled variants
2904 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
2906 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
2907 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
2908 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
2910 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
2912 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
2913 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
2916 - many code generation updates and improvements
2917 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
2920 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
2921 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
2923 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
2925 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
2928 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
2929 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
2931 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
2932 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
2934 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
2936 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
2940 * Partial list of bugs closed:
2941 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3367 ==============================================
3369 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3370 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3371 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3372 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3373 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3374 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3376 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3377 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3379 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3381 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

3434 * Updated translations:
3443 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3444 ==============================================
3447 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3448 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3449 an 'object manager' pattern:
3450 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3451 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3452 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3453 And server-side implementations:
3454 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3455 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3456 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3460 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3464 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3465 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3466 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3467 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3470 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3471 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3474 * Unix-specific APIs:
3475 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3476 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3477 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3478 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3479 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3480 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3504 * Updated translations
3511 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3512 ==============================================
3515 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3516 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3517 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3520 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3521 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3522 situations has been improved
3525 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3526 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3529 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3530 match strcmp() semantics
3531 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3532 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3533 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3535 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3536 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3539 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3541 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3543 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3544 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3545 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3876 - Support environment passing
3879 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
3880 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
3882 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
3883 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
3884 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
3888 158725 free linked list with data

3901 * Translation updates:
3907 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
3908 ==============================================
3910 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
3911 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
3913 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
3914 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
3916 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
3918 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
3920 g_settings_get_range
3921 g_settings_range_check
3922 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
3924 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
3925 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
3927 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
3928 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
3930 g_main_context_invoke
3931 g_main_context_invoke_full
3933 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
3934 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
3935 looking for default applications.
3937 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
3938 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
3939 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
3940 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
3942 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
3943 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
3944 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4201 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4202 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4203 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4205 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4206 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4207 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4208 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4211 There have been many other improvements, however:
4214 - vastly improved test coverage
4215 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4216 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4217 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
4220 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
4223 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
4224 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
4225 - improve debug output, add some extra options
4226 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
4228 - sort property names correctly
4229 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
4231 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
4234 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings

4265 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
4266 =====================================================
4268 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4269 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4270 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4271 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4272 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4273 | required (and will be along soon). |
4274 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4277 - cleanup automake setup
4278 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4279 - various docs fixups
4280 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
4281 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
4284 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
4286 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
4287 - add g_settings_reset()
4288 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
4291 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
4292 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
4293 - proper support for file descriptor passing
4294 - new flags parameter for sending messages
4295 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
4296 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
4297 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
4298 - constness fixes for introspection structures
4299 - clean ups to subtree registration API
4302 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
4303 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
4304 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
4305 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
4306 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
4307 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
4310 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
4311 617483 Credentials passing
4312 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property
4313 623293 vendor override files

4334 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4335 =====================================================
4337 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4338 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4339 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4340 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4341 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4344 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4345 -Bsymbolic-functions
4346 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4347 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4348 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4349 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4350 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4353 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4354 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4355 nobody was doing that.
4356 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4358 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4359 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4361 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4362 have a serial number
4363 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4365 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4367 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4368 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4369 has finished running on GDBus services.
4370 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4371 this due to the obvious race)
4372 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4373 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4376 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4377 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4378 arguments and different behaviour
4379 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4380 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4381 strings instead of utf8 strings
4382 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4383 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4384 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4385 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4386 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4387 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4388 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4389 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4390 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4393 - improved documentation
4394 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4395 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4396 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4397 overridden using <override>.
4398 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4400 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4401 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4402 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4403 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4404 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4405 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4406 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4407 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4408 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4409 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4410 being set due to a premature free
4411 - command line tool: bash completion support
4412 - chain up in _finalize
4413 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4415 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4416 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4417 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4419 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4420 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4421 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4422 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4423 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4427 - always intern GBinding prop names
4428 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4429 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4430 - GNode docs improvements
4431 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4432 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4433 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4437 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4438 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4439 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4440 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4441 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4442 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4443 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4444 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4446 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4447 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4448 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4449 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4450 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4451 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4452 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4453 610784 array test failing
4454 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4455 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

5147 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5148 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5151 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5152 interfaces to dynamic types.

5879 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

5882 also uses less memory overall.

5887 that a GError is set or unset
5889 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
5891 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
5892 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
5894 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
