48 ==============================================
51 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
52 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
53 to an overridden property
54 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
55 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
57 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
58 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
60 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
62 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

102 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
103 ==============================================
105 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
106 moved to GtkApplication.
108 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
109 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
110 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
111 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
113 * lots of documentation improvements
115 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
117 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
118 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
120 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
122 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
124 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
126 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
127 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
130 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
131 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
132 664699 glib: documentation fixes
133 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
134 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
135 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
136 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
137 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
138 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
139 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
140 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
142 * Translations updated:
146 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
147 ==============================================
149 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
150 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
151 There have also been many related improvements to action group
154 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
155 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
156 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
159 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
160 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
161 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
162 through an idle on the context.
164 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
165 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
166 fixes here and there.
168 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
169 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
170 API available outside GLib
172 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

211 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
213 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
214 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
215 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
217 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
220 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
221 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
222 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
225 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
226 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
229 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
232 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
233 - various GIO file and stream fixes
234 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
236 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
237 =================================================
239 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
240 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
242 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
243 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
244 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
245 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
246 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
247 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
248 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
249 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
250 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
251 required (and has been deprecated)
252 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
253 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
254 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
255 without explicit initialisation.
256 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
257 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
258 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
260 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
261 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
262 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
263 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
264 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
265 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
266 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
268 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
269 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
270 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
271 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
272 - GThread is now a refcounted type
273 - other implementation details changed
275 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
276 deprecated/ directory.
278 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
279 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
280 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
282 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
283 platform over a year ago).
285 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
286 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
288 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
289 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
291 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
292 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
293 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
294 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
297 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
298 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
301 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
303 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
304 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
306 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
307 in a multi-threaded program
309 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
310 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
313 - drop -uninstalled variants
314 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
316 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
317 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
318 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
320 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
322 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
323 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
326 - many code generation updates and improvements
327 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
330 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
331 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
333 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
335 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
338 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
339 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
341 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
342 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
344 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
346 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
350 * Partial list of bugs closed:
351 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

777 ==============================================
779 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
780 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
781 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
782 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
783 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
784 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
786 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
787 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
789 * Access to quarks is now lockless
791 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
793 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
795 * Introspection improvements:

844 * Updated translations:
853 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
854 ==============================================
857 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
858 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
859 an 'object manager' pattern:
860 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
861 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
862 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
863 And server-side implementations:
864 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
865 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
866 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
870 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
874 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
875 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
876 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
877 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
880 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
881 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
884 * Unix-specific APIs:
885 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
886 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
887 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
888 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
889 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
890 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

914 * Updated translations
921 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
922 ==============================================
925 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
926 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
927 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
930 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
931 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
932 situations has been improved
935 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
936 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
939 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
940 match strcmp() semantics
941 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
942 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
943 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
945 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
946 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
949 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
951 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
953 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
954 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
955 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1192 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.3 to 2.27.4
1193 ==============================================

1197 that starts with a dot
1198 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
1199 and fallback mime handlers
1200 - g_cancellable_create_source: creates a GSource that triggers
1201 when the GCancellable is canceled
1202 - GPollableInput/OutputStream: Interfaces for pollable streams
1203 - TLS support has landed, with an extension point that is
1204 implemented in glib-networking

1225 * Updated translations:
1232 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
1233 ==============================================
1235 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
1236 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
1241 g_get_monotonic_time
1243 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
1246 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
1248 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
1250 g_simple_async_result_take_error
1251 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
1252 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
1254 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
1257 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
1258 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
1259 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
1261 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
1262 g_get_user_runtime_dir
1264 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed

1273 * Translation updates:
1281 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
1282 ==============================================
1285 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
1286 - Support environment passing
1289 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
1290 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
1292 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
1293 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
1294 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
1298 158725 free linked list with data
1299 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
1300 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
1301 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record

1308 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
1309 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
1311 * Translation updates:
1317 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1318 ==============================================
1320 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1321 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1323 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1324 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1326 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1328 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1330 g_settings_get_range
1331 g_settings_range_check
1332 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1334 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1335 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1337 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1338 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1340 g_main_context_invoke
1341 g_main_context_invoke_full
1343 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1344 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1345 looking for default applications.
1347 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1348 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1349 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1350 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1352 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1353 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1354 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
1357 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
1358 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality
1359 620710 g_get_user_data_dir() uses CSIDL_PERSONAL and not CSIDL_APPDATA

1609 =====================================================
1611 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1612 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
1613 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1615 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
1616 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
1617 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
1618 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
1621 There have been many other improvements, however:
1624 - vastly improved test coverage
1625 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
1626 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
1627 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
1630 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

1676 =====================================================
1678 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1679 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
1680 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
1681 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
1682 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
1683 | required (and will be along soon). |
1684 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1687 - cleanup automake setup
1688 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
1689 - various docs fixups

1707 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
1708 - constness fixes for introspection structures
1709 - clean ups to subtree registration API
1712 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

1744 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
1745 =====================================================
1747 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1748 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1749 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1750 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1751 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1754 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1755 -Bsymbolic-functions
1756 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1757 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1758 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1759 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1760 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1763 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1764 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1765 nobody was doing that.
1766 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1768 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1769 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1771 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1772 have a serial number
1773 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1775 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1777 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1778 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1779 has finished running on GDBus services.
1780 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1781 this due to the obvious race)
1782 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1783 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1786 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1787 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1788 arguments and different behaviour
1789 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1790 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1791 strings instead of utf8 strings
1792 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1793 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1794 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1795 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1796 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1797 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1798 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1799 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1800 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1803 - improved documentation
1804 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1805 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1806 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1807 overridden using <override>.
1808 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1810 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1811 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1812 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1813 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1814 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1815 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1816 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1817 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1818 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1819 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1820 being set due to a premature free
1821 - command line tool: bash completion support
1822 - chain up in _finalize

2550 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
2551 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
2552 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
2553 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
2554 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
2555 while loading or saving it.
2556 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
2557 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
2558 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
2561 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
2562 interfaces to dynamic types.
2565 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
2566 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

3285 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
3286 ===================================================
3288 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
3289 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
3290 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
3291 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
3292 also uses less memory overall.
3294 * Make g_poll available as public api
3296 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
3297 that a GError is set or unset
3299 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
3301 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
3302 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
3304 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
3305 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

4919 =================================================
4921 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
4922 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
4923 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
4925 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
4926 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
4929 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
4930 These functions handle negative offsets now, and

4933 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
4935 * Memory management:
4936 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

4938 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
4939 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
4940 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
4941 never worked as intended.
4942 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
4943 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
4944 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
4945 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
4946 efficient and scalable implementation.
4947 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
4950 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
4951 unnecessary recursion.
4954 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:

4956 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
4960 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
4963 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
4964 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
4965 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
4969 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
4970 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
4971 since they are in glib.h
