140 - Support environment passing
143 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
144 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
146 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
147 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
148 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
152 158725 free linked list with data

172 ==============================================
174 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
175 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
177 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
178 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
180 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
182 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
185 g_settings_range_check
186 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
188 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
189 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
191 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
192 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
194 g_main_context_invoke
195 g_main_context_invoke_full
197 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
198 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
199 looking for default applications.
201 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
202 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
203 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
204 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
206 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
207 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
208 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

465 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
466 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
467 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
469 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
470 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
471 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
472 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
475 There have been many other improvements, however:
478 - vastly improved test coverage
479 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
480 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
481 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

499 without mapping functions
500 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
503 - improve closure support for bindings
504 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
507 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

533 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
534 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
535 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |

598 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
599 =====================================================
601 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
602 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
603 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
604 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
605 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
608 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
610 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
611 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
612 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
613 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
614 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
617 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
618 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
619 nobody was doing that.
620 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
622 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
623 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
625 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
627 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
629 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
631 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
632 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
633 has finished running on GDBus services.
634 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
635 this due to the obvious race)
636 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
637 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
640 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
641 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
642 arguments and different behaviour
643 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
644 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
645 strings instead of utf8 strings
646 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
647 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
648 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
649 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
650 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
651 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
652 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
653 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
654 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
657 - improved documentation
658 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
659 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
660 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
661 overridden using <override>.
662 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
664 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
665 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
666 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
667 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
668 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
669 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
670 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
671 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
672 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
673 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
674 being set due to a premature free
675 - command line tool: bash completion support
676 - chain up in _finalize
677 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require

1404 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1405 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1406 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1407 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1408 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1409 while loading or saving it.
1410 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1411 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1412 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1415 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1416 interfaces to dynamic types.
1419 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

2139 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
2140 ===================================================
2142 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2143 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2144 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
2145 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
2146 also uses less memory overall.
2148 * Make g_poll available as public api
2150 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2151 that a GError is set or unset
2153 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2155 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2156 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2158 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2159 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3775 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
3776 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
3777 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
3779 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
3780 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
3783 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

3794 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
3795 never worked as intended.
3796 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
3797 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3798 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3799 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3800 efficient and scalable implementation.
3801 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
3804 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
3805 unnecessary recursion.

3810 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
3814 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
3817 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
3818 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
3819 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3823 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3824 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
3825 since they are in glib.h
