267 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
268 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
272 158725 free linked list with data

294 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
295 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
297 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
298 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
300 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
302 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
305 g_settings_range_check
306 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
308 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
309 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
311 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
312 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
314 g_main_context_invoke
315 g_main_context_invoke_full
317 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
318 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
319 looking for default applications.
321 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
322 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
323 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
324 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
326 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
327 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
328 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

585 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
586 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
587 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
589 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
590 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
591 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
592 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
595 There have been many other improvements, however:

718 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
719 =====================================================
721 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
722 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
723 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
724 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
725 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
728 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
730 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
731 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
732 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
733 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
734 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
737 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
738 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
739 nobody was doing that.
740 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
742 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
743 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
745 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
747 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
749 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
751 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
752 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
753 has finished running on GDBus services.
754 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
755 this due to the obvious race)
756 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
757 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
760 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
761 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
762 arguments and different behaviour
763 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
764 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
765 strings instead of utf8 strings
766 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
767 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
768 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
769 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
770 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
771 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
772 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
773 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
774 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
777 - improved documentation
778 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
779 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
780 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
781 overridden using <override>.
782 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
784 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
785 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
786 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
787 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
788 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
789 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
790 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
791 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
792 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
793 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
794 being set due to a premature free
795 - command line tool: bash completion support
796 - chain up in _finalize
797 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
799 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
800 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
801 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
803 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
804 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
805 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
806 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
807 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
811 - always intern GBinding prop names
812 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
813 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
814 - GNode docs improvements
815 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
816 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
817 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
821 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
822 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
823 - improved tests for GKeyfile
824 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
825 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
826 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
827 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
828 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
830 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
831 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
832 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
833 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
834 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
835 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
836 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
837 610784 array test failing
838 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

1521 ===================================================
1524 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1525 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1526 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1527 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1528 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1529 while loading or saving it.
1530 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1531 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1532 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1535 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1536 interfaces to dynamic types.
1539 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
1540 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

2260 ===================================================
2262 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2263 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2264 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

2266 also uses less memory overall.

2271 that a GError is set or unset
2273 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2275 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2276 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2278 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2279 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3895 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
3896 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
3897 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
3899 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
3900 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
3903 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
3904 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
3905 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
3907 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
3909 * Memory management:
3910 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

3913 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
3914 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
3915 never worked as intended.
3916 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
3917 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3918 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3919 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3920 efficient and scalable implementation.
3921 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
3924 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
3925 unnecessary recursion.

3937 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
3938 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
3939 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3943 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3944 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
