346 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
347 ==================================
349 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
350 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
351 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
352 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
354 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
355 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
356 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
358 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
359 environment variable.
361 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
362 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

519 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
520 ==================================
522 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
523 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
524 is unavailable or undesired.
526 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
527 glib-networking will also be required.

581 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
582 ==================================
584 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
585 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
586 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
587 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
589 This release corrects only this problem.
591 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
592 ==================================
594 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
595 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
596 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
598 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

944 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
945 ==================================
947 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
948 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
949 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
950 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
951 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
952 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
954 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
955 have seen major improvements.
957 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
958 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
959 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
962 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
964 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
966 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
968 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
969 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
970 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
971 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
972 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
973 you use the --strict option.
975 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
976 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
977 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
979 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
981 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
982 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
983 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1029 ===================================
1031 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1032 before the release of 2.44.0.
1034 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1036 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1037 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1038 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1039 default in the next cycle.
1041 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1634 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1635 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1636 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1884 * Translations updates:
1891 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1892 ====================================================
1894 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1896 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1898 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1899 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1902 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1903 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1906 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1908 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1910 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1913 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1914 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1916 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1918 * Applications/Actions
1920 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1921 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1924 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1925 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1927 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1928 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1929 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1930 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1934 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1935 accesses that are performed in common situations
1937 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1938 are installed/removed
1940 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1941 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1943 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1944 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1949 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1951 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1952 that test programs don't pick them up
1954 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1956 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1957 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1958 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1959 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1961 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1962 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1964 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1965 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1966 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1970 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1972 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1974 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
1976 Translations updated:

1987 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
1988 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
1989 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
1990 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
1991 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
1992 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
1993 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
1994 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
1995 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
1996 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
1997 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
1998 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
1999 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake

2026 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2027 ====================================================
2029 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2033 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2035 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2036 them can restart the application with an action (via
2041 - new API for launching subprocesses
2043 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2045 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2047 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2048 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2050 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2052 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2054 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2055 actions and listing apps and actions
2057 - bash tab completion is supported
2059 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2061 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2062 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2064 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2065 DBusActivatable=true
2067 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2068 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2073 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2075 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2076 class and inotify backend
2078 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2079 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2081 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2086 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2087 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2088 when there are invalid schemas installed
2090 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2094 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2095 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2097 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2100 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2101 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2102 semantics of the interface in each case
2104 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2105 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2107 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2109 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2110 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2111 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2112 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2116 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2119 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2121 * Portability improvements
2123 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2125 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2126 actually support it (like Hurd)
2128 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2130 * Other small API changes/additions
2132 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2133 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2134 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2136 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2138 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2139 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2141 * GMainContext/GSource
2143 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2145 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2146 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2147 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2148 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2149 broken and should probably be fixed.
2151 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2152 require use of a linked list
2156 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2157 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2158 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2160 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2164 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2165 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2166 gphoto, archive, at least).
2168 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2170 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2173 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2174 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2175 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2177 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2179 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2181 * Many documentation improvements
2184 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2185 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2186 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2239 What's new in Glib 2.38
2240 ========================
2242 * Application support
2244 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2245 desktop entry specification
2247 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2248 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2249 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2251 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2252 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2253 to launch other applications
2255 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2256 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2260 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2261 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2262 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2263 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2264 any problems that this may have caused.
2266 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2267 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2268 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2269 (allowing memory savings)
2271 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2272 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2273 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2275 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2276 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2279 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2280 without destroying one of the objects involved
2284 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2285 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2286 with a finite number of cases
2288 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2289 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2291 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2292 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2293 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2294 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2297 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2301 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2302 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2303 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2305 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2307 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2308 and an API to check them
2310 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2311 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2313 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2314 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2318 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2319 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2320 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2323 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2324 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2325 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2327 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2332 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2333 allow for regexp matching on streams
2335 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2336 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2337 g_variant_new_printf()
2341 - we can now generate TAP output
2343 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2344 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2346 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2351 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2473 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2474 ==============================================
2476 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2477 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2478 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2479 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2481 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2482 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

2550 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
2551 build the unmodified source
2553 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
2555 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
2556 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
2557 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
2564 698375 - D-Bus async properties
2565 700350 - timestamp issue
2566 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
2567 700035 - new API for instance private data
2569 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
2570 ==============================================
2572 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2573 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2575 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2576 and will trigger a warning.
2579 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation
2581 - Set prgname to appid for services

2614 ==============================================
2616 * add support for installed tests:
2617 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
2619 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
2620 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2622 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2624 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2626 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
2627 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
2628 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
2630 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

2661 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2662 ==============================================
2664 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2665 and a parser API for them is now provided
2667 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2668 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2669 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2729 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
2730 ==============================================
2732 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
2734 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
2735 the destination file
2737 - fix some 'available since' annotations
2739 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

2745 * Translations updated:
2761 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2762 ==============================================
2764 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2765 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2766 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2767 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2821 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2822 ==============================================
2824 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2825 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2826 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2827 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2828 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2832 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2833 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
2835 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
2836 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
2837 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
2838 * documentation fixes
2839 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
2842 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

2856 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
2857 ==============================================
2859 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2861 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2862 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2864 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2865 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2867 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2880 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2881 ==============================================
2883 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2886 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2887 ready at a specified monotonic time
2889 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
2891 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
2894 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
2895 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

2993 * Translation updates:
3008 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3009 ==============================================
3011 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3012 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3013 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3014 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3015 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3017 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3018 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3019 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in

3067 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3068 ==============================================
3070 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3071 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3072 causing regressions in applications.
3074 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3075 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3076 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3079 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3080 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3081 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3083 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3085 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3087 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3089 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3091 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3093 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3095 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3097 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3099 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3101 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3154 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3155 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3157 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3158 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3160 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set

3998 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3999 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4000 to an overridden property
4001 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4002 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4004 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4005 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4049 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4050 ==============================================
4052 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4053 moved to GtkApplication.
4055 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4056 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4057 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4058 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4060 * lots of documentation improvements
4062 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4064 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4065 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4067 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4069 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4071 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4073 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4074 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4077 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4078 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4086 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4087 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4089 * Translations updated:
4093 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4094 ==============================================
4096 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4097 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4098 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4101 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4102 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4103 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4106 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4107 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4108 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4109 through an idle on the context.
4111 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4112 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4113 fixes here and there.
4115 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4116 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4117 API available outside GLib
4119 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4161 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4162 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4164 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

4183 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4184 =================================================
4186 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4187 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4189 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4190 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4191 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4192 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4193 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4194 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4195 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4196 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4197 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4198 required (and has been deprecated)
4199 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4200 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4201 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4202 without explicit initialisation.
4203 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4204 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4205 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4207 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4208 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4209 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4210 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4211 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4212 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4213 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4215 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4216 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4217 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4218 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4219 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4220 - other implementation details changed
4222 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4223 deprecated/ directory.
4225 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4226 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4227 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4229 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4230 platform over a year ago).
4232 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4233 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4235 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4236 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4238 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4239 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4240 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4241 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4244 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4245 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4248 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4250 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4251 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4253 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4254 in a multi-threaded program
4256 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4257 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4260 - drop -uninstalled variants
4261 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4263 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4264 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4265 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4267 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4269 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4270 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4273 - many code generation updates and improvements
4274 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4277 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4278 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4280 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4282 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4285 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4286 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4288 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4289 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4291 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4293 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes

4723 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4724 ==============================================
4726 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4727 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4728 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4729 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4730 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4731 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4733 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4734 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4736 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4738 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4740 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

4800 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4801 ==============================================
4804 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4805 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4806 an 'object manager' pattern:
4807 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4808 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4809 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4810 And server-side implementations:
4811 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4812 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4813 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4817 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4821 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4822 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4823 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4824 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4827 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4828 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4831 * Unix-specific APIs:
4832 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4833 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4834 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4835 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4836 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4837 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4861 * Updated translations
4868 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4869 ==============================================
4872 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4873 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4874 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4877 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4878 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4879 situations has been improved
4882 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4883 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4886 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4887 match strcmp() semantics
4888 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4889 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4890 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4892 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4893 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4896 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4898 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4900 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4901 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4902 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5180 ==============================================
5182 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5183 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5188 g_get_monotonic_time
5190 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5193 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5195 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

5233 - Support environment passing
5236 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5237 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5239 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5240 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5241 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5245 158725 free linked list with data
5246 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

5256 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5258 * Translation updates:
5264 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5265 ==============================================
5267 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5268 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5270 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5271 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5273 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5275 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5277 g_settings_get_range
5278 g_settings_range_check
5279 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5281 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5282 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5284 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5285 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5287 g_main_context_invoke
5288 g_main_context_invoke_full
5290 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5291 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5292 looking for default applications.
5294 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5295 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5296 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5297 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5299 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5300 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5301 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5559 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5560 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5562 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5563 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5564 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5565 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5568 There have been many other improvements, however:
5571 - vastly improved test coverage
5572 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5573 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5574 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
5577 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

5623 =====================================================
5625 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5626 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5627 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5628 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5629 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5630 | required (and will be along soon). |
5631 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5634 - cleanup automake setup
5635 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5636 - various docs fixups
5637 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5643 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5644 - add g_settings_reset()
5645 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5648 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

5652 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5653 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5654 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5655 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5656 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5659 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5691 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5692 =====================================================
5694 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5695 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5696 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5697 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5698 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5701 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5702 -Bsymbolic-functions
5703 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5704 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5705 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5706 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5707 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5710 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5711 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5712 nobody was doing that.
5713 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5715 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5716 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5718 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5719 have a serial number
5720 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5722 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5724 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5725 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5726 has finished running on GDBus services.
5727 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5728 this due to the obvious race)
5729 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5730 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5733 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5734 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5735 arguments and different behaviour
5736 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5737 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5738 strings instead of utf8 strings
5739 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5740 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5741 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5742 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5743 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5744 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5745 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5746 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5747 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5750 - improved documentation
5751 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5752 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5753 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5754 overridden using <override>.
5755 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5757 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5758 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5759 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5760 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5761 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5762 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5763 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5764 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5765 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5766 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5767 being set due to a premature free
5768 - command line tool: bash completion support
5769 - chain up in _finalize
5770 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5772 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5773 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5774 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5776 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5777 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5778 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5779 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5780 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5784 - always intern GBinding prop names
5785 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5786 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5787 - GNode docs improvements
5788 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5789 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5790 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5794 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5795 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5796 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5797 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5798 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5799 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5800 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5801 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5803 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5804 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5805 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5806 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5807 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5808 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5809 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
5810 610784 array test failing

5813 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
5814 622124 implement flags
5815 622127 GSettings extended key validation
5816 622128 retry with default value for failed mapping

6504 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6505 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6508 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6509 interfaces to dynamic types.

7236 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
