75 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
76 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
77 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
78 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
80 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
81 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
84 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.

150 build the unmodified source
152 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
154 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
155 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
156 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
163 698375 - D-Bus async properties
164 700350 - timestamp issue
165 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
166 700035 - new API for instance private data
168 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2

258 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
260 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
261 ==============================================
263 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
264 and a parser API for them is now provided
266 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
267 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
268 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
270 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

316 * Translation updates:
328 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
329 ==============================================
331 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
333 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
336 - fix some 'available since' annotations
338 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
341 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
342 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
344 * Translations updated:
360 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
361 ==============================================
363 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
364 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
365 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
366 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

390 * Translation updates:
420 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
421 ==============================================
423 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
424 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
425 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
426 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
427 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
431 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
432 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
434 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
435 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
436 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
437 * documentation fixes
438 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
441 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
442 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h
443 692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris

445 693502 Cross-compiling documentation: typo (np -> no)
446 693673 add g_dbus_address_escape_value()
447 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends
455 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
456 ==============================================
458 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
460 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
461 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
463 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
464 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
466 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
479 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
480 ==============================================
482 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
485 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
486 ready at a specified monotonic time
488 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
490 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
493 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
494 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

592 * Translation updates:
607 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
608 ==============================================
610 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
611 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
612 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
613 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
614 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
616 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
617 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
618 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
619 particular, are incompatible.
621 * Bugs fixed in this release:
622 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
623 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

666 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
667 ==============================================
669 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
670 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
671 causing regressions in applications.
673 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
674 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
675 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
678 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
679 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
680 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
682 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
684 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
686 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
688 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
690 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
692 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
694 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
696 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
698 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files

756 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
757 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

1597 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1598 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1599 to an overridden property
1600 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1601 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1603 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1604 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

1648 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1649 ==============================================
1651 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1652 moved to GtkApplication.
1654 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1655 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1656 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1657 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1659 * lots of documentation improvements
1661 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1663 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1664 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1666 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1668 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1670 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1672 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1673 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1676 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1677 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1684 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
1685 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1686 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1688 * Translations updated:
1692 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1693 ==============================================
1695 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1696 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1697 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1700 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1701 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1702 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1705 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1706 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1707 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1708 through an idle on the context.
1710 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1711 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1712 fixes here and there.
1714 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1715 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1716 API available outside GLib
1718 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1760 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1761 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1763 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

1782 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1783 =================================================
1785 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1786 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1788 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1789 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1790 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1791 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1792 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1793 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1794 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1795 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1796 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1797 required (and has been deprecated)
1798 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1799 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1800 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1801 without explicit initialisation.
1802 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1803 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1804 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1806 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1807 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1808 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1809 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1810 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1811 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1812 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1814 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1815 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1816 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1817 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1818 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1819 - other implementation details changed
1821 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1822 deprecated/ directory.
1824 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1825 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1826 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1828 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1829 platform over a year ago).
1831 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1832 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1834 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1835 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1837 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1838 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1839 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1840 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1843 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1844 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1847 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1849 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1850 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1852 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1853 in a multi-threaded program
1855 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1856 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1859 - drop -uninstalled variants
1860 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1862 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1863 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1864 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1866 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1868 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1869 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1872 - many code generation updates and improvements
1873 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1876 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1877 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1879 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1881 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1884 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1885 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1887 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1888 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1890 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1892 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1896 * Partial list of bugs closed:

2323 ==============================================
2325 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2326 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2327 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2328 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2329 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2330 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2332 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2333 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

2390 * Updated translations:
2399 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2400 ==============================================
2403 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2404 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2405 an 'object manager' pattern:
2406 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2407 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2408 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2409 And server-side implementations:
2410 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2411 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2412 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2416 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2420 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2421 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2422 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2423 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2426 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2427 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2430 * Unix-specific APIs:
2431 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2432 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2433 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing

2467 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2468 ==============================================
2471 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2472 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2473 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2476 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2477 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2478 situations has been improved
2481 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2482 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2485 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2486 match strcmp() semantics
2487 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2488 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2489 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2491 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2492 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2495 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2497 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2499 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2500 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2501 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2779 ==============================================
2781 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2782 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2787 g_get_monotonic_time
2789 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2792 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2794 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

2835 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2836 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2838 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2839 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2840 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2844 158725 free linked list with data

2857 * Translation updates:
2863 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2864 ==============================================
2866 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2867 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2869 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2870 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2872 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2874 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2876 g_settings_get_range
2877 g_settings_range_check
2878 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2880 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2881 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2883 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2884 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2886 g_main_context_invoke
2887 g_main_context_invoke_full
2889 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2890 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2891 looking for default applications.
2893 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2894 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2895 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2896 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2898 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2899 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2900 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3060 - The GZip(De}Compressor can now process header information
3061 - Support for network proxies has been added, with the GProxy

3158 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3159 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3161 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3162 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3163 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3164 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3167 There have been many other improvements, however:
3170 - vastly improved test coverage
3171 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3172 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3173 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

3222 =====================================================
3224 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3225 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3226 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3227 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3228 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3229 | required (and will be along soon). |
3230 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3233 - cleanup automake setup
3234 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
3235 - various docs fixups

3254 - constness fixes for introspection structures
3255 - clean ups to subtree registration API
3258 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

3290 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3291 =====================================================
3293 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3294 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3295 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3296 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3297 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3300 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3301 -Bsymbolic-functions
3302 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3303 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3304 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3305 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3306 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3309 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3310 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3311 nobody was doing that.
3312 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3314 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3315 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3317 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3318 have a serial number
3319 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3321 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3323 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3324 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3325 has finished running on GDBus services.
3326 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3327 this due to the obvious race)
3328 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3329 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3332 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3333 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3334 arguments and different behaviour
3335 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3336 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3337 strings instead of utf8 strings
3338 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3339 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3340 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3341 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3342 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3343 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3344 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3345 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3346 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3349 - improved documentation
3350 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3351 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3352 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3353 overridden using <override>.
3354 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3356 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3357 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3358 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3359 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3360 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3361 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3362 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3363 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3364 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3365 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3366 being set due to a premature free
3367 - command line tool: bash completion support
3368 - chain up in _finalize
3369 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3371 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3372 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3373 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3375 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3376 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3377 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3378 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3379 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3383 - always intern GBinding prop names
3384 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3385 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3386 - GNode docs improvements
3387 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3388 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3389 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3393 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3394 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3395 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3396 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3397 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3398 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3399 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3400 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3402 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3403 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3404 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3405 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3406 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3407 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3408 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3409 610784 array test failing
3410 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3411 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
3412 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
3413 622124 implement flags

3424 623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
3425 623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"
3426 623473 zlib should be checked with pkg-config
3427 623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
3428 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
3429 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty

4103 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4104 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4107 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4108 interfaces to dynamic types.

4835 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

4847 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4848 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4850 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
