1 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.2 to 2.36.4
2 ==============================================
4 This change addresses a major issue: despite assurances in the
5 documentation for the ext4 filesystem, it is still unsafe to omit a call
6 to fsync() when doing atomic replaces, as per g_file_set_contents().
7 Some patches have gone into the kernel already, but we are putting the
8 fsync() back for safety reasons.
10 There have also been win32 improvements and a fix where
11 GNetworkMonitor failed to detect the connection with some VPN

118 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
119 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
120 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
121 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

175 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
176 ==============================================
178 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
179 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
180 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
181 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
182 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
186 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
187 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
189 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
190 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
191 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
192 * documentation fixes
193 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
196 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

210 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
211 ==============================================
213 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
215 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
216 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
218 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
219 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
221 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
234 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
235 ==============================================
237 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

241 ready at a specified monotonic time
243 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
245 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

347 * Translation updates:
362 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
363 ==============================================
365 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
366 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
367 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
368 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
369 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
371 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
372 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
373 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
374 particular, are incompatible.
376 * Bugs fixed in this release:

421 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
422 ==============================================
424 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
425 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
426 causing regressions in applications.
428 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
429 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
430 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
433 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
434 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
435 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
437 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
439 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
441 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
443 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
445 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
447 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
449 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
451 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
453 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
455 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

505 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
506 ==============================================
508 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
509 give feedback if they cause trouble:
511 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
512 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
514 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
516 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

520 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
522 * GLib version macros updated

1348 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
1349 ==============================================
1352 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1353 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1354 to an overridden property
1355 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1356 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1358 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1359 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
1361 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
1363 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

1403 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1404 ==============================================
1406 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1407 moved to GtkApplication.
1409 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1410 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1411 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1412 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1414 * lots of documentation improvements
1416 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1418 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1419 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1421 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1423 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1425 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1427 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1428 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1431 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1432 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
1433 664699 glib: documentation fixes
1434 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
1435 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
1436 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1437 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
1438 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
1439 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
1440 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1441 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1443 * Translations updated:
1447 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1448 ==============================================
1450 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1451 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1452 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1455 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1456 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1457 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1460 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1461 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1462 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1463 through an idle on the context.
1465 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1466 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1467 fixes here and there.
1469 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1470 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1471 API available outside GLib
1473 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1510 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
1512 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
1514 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1515 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1516 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1518 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1521 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1522 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
1523 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
1526 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
1527 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

1534 - various GIO file and stream fixes
1535 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1537 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1538 =================================================
1540 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1541 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1543 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1544 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1545 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1546 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1547 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1548 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1549 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1550 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1551 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1552 required (and has been deprecated)
1553 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1554 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1555 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1556 without explicit initialisation.
1557 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1558 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1559 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1561 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1562 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1563 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1564 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1565 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1566 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1567 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1569 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1570 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1571 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1572 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1573 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1574 - other implementation details changed
1576 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1577 deprecated/ directory.
1579 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1580 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1581 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1583 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1584 platform over a year ago).
1586 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1587 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1589 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1590 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1592 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1593 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1594 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1595 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1598 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1599 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1602 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1604 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1605 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1607 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1608 in a multi-threaded program
1610 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1611 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1614 - drop -uninstalled variants
1615 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1617 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1618 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1619 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1621 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1623 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1624 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1627 - many code generation updates and improvements
1628 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1631 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1632 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1634 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1636 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1639 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1640 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1642 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1643 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1645 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1647 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1651 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1652 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

2078 ==============================================
2080 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2081 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2082 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2083 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2084 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2085 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2087 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2088 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
2090 * Access to quarks is now lockless
2092 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

2145 * Updated translations:
2154 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2155 ==============================================
2158 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2159 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2160 an 'object manager' pattern:
2161 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2162 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2163 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2164 And server-side implementations:
2165 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2166 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2167 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2171 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2175 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2176 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2177 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2178 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2181 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2182 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2185 * Unix-specific APIs:
2186 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2187 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2188 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2189 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2190 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2191 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2215 * Updated translations
2222 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2223 ==============================================
2226 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2227 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2228 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2231 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2232 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2233 situations has been improved
2236 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2237 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2240 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2241 match strcmp() semantics
2242 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2243 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2244 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2246 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2247 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2250 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2252 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2254 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2255 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2256 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2498 that starts with a dot
2499 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
2500 and fallback mime handlers

2526 * Updated translations:
2533 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
2534 ==============================================
2536 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2537 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2542 g_get_monotonic_time
2544 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2547 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2549 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2551 g_simple_async_result_take_error
2552 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
2553 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
2555 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
2558 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
2559 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
2560 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
2562 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
2563 g_get_user_runtime_dir

2574 * Translation updates:
2582 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
2583 ==============================================
2586 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2587 - Support environment passing
2590 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2591 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2593 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2594 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2595 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2599 158725 free linked list with data
2600 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
2601 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

2609 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
2610 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
2612 * Translation updates:
2618 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2619 ==============================================
2621 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2622 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2624 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2625 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2627 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2629 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2631 g_settings_get_range
2632 g_settings_range_check
2633 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2635 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2636 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2638 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2639 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2641 g_main_context_invoke
2642 g_main_context_invoke_full
2644 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2645 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2646 looking for default applications.
2648 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2649 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2650 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2651 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2653 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2654 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2655 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
2658 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

2913 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2914 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2916 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2917 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2918 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2919 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2922 There have been many other improvements, however:
2925 - vastly improved test coverage
2926 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2927 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2928 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2977 =====================================================
2979 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2980 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2981 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2982 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2983 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2984 | required (and will be along soon). |
2985 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2988 - cleanup automake setup
2989 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2990 - various docs fixups

3007 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
3008 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
3009 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3010 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3013 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

3045 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3046 =====================================================
3048 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3049 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3050 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3051 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3052 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3055 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3056 -Bsymbolic-functions
3057 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3058 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3059 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3060 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3061 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3064 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3065 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3066 nobody was doing that.
3067 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3069 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3070 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3072 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3073 have a serial number
3074 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3076 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3078 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3079 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3080 has finished running on GDBus services.
3081 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3082 this due to the obvious race)
3083 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3084 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3087 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3088 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3089 arguments and different behaviour
3090 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3091 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3092 strings instead of utf8 strings
3093 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3094 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3095 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3096 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3097 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3098 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3099 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3100 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3101 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3104 - improved documentation
3105 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs

3753 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
3754 ===================================================
3756 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
3758 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
3760 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
3761 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
3762 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
3764 * Threading changes:
3765 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
3766 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
3768 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
3769 when g_type_init() is called.
3770 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
3773 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
3776 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

3851 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3852 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3853 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3854 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3855 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3856 while loading or saving it.
3857 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3858 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3859 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3862 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3863 interfaces to dynamic types.
3866 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3867 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
3868 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

4587 ===================================================
4589 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
4590 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4591 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4592 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4593 also uses less memory overall.
4595 * Make g_poll available as public api
4597 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4598 that a GError is set or unset
4600 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4602 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4603 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4605 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4606 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

6220 =================================================
6222 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
6223 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
6224 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
6226 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
6227 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
6230 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
6231 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
6232 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
6234 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
6236 * Memory management:
6237 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
6238 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
6239 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
6240 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
6241 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
6242 never worked as intended.
6243 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
6244 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
6245 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
6246 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
6247 efficient and scalable implementation.
6248 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
6251 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
6252 unnecessary recursion.
6255 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
6256 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
6257 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
6261 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
6264 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
6265 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
6266 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
6270 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
6271 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
6272 since they are in glib.h
