729 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
730 ==================================
732 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
733 which makes error checking easier (#553)
735 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
736 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
737 variables, or mostly anything else (see
738 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
740 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
741 Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)

749 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
751 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
752 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
753 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
754 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
755 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
756 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1880 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
1881 ==================================
1883 * Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
1885 - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
1886 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
1887 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
1888 - `g_array_binary_search()`
1890 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
1892 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
1893 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1894 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1896 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1897 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1899 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1900 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1902 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1903 third-party code should now be using
1904 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
1906 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
1908 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
1910 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
1913 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
1915 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
1916 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
1918 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1920 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1922 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1923 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1925 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1927 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1928 of packaged libraries (!951)
1930 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

2472 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2473 ==================================
2475 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2476 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2477 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2478 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2480 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2481 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2483 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2485 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2487 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2489 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2490 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2491 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2492 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2494 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2495 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2497 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2498 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2499 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2501 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2503 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2504 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2507 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2508 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2510 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2511 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2512 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2514 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2515 portal backends. (!317)
2517 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2520 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2522 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2525 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2527 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2530 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2531 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2532 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2534 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2535 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2537 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2538 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2539 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2540 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2542 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2544 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2753 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2754 ==================================
2756 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2757 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2758 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2759 with Meson or autotools. See:
2760 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2762 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2764 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2765 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2767 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2769 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2771 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2772 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2773 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2774 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2777 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2778 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2779 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2780 !265 Network monitor again
2781 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2782 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2783 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2784 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2785 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2786 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2788 * Translation updates:
2798 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2799 ==================================
2801 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2802 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2803 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2804 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2806 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2808 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2810 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2812 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2814 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2815 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2817 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2819 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2820 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2821 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2824 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2826 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2829 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2830 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2831 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
2832 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
2833 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback
2834 #972 Mismatch between gint64 and int64_t on 64-bit macOS/BSD
2835 !251 gtestdbus: Fix watcher crash on FreeBSD

4009 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer

4013 environment variable.

4239 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
4240 ==================================
4242 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
4243 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
4244 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
4245 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
4247 This release corrects only this problem.
4249 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
4250 ==================================
4252 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
4253 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
4254 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
4256 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4345 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4346 ==================================
4348 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4349 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4350 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4351 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4352 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4355 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4356 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4357 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4358 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4359 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4360 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4361 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4617 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4618 ==================================
4620 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4621 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4622 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4623 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4624 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4625 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4627 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4628 have seen major improvements.
4630 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4631 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4632 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4635 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4637 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4639 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4641 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4642 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4643 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4644 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4645 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4646 you use the --strict option.
4648 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4649 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4650 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4652 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4654 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4655 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4656 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4709 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4710 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4711 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4712 default in the next cycle.

5273 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
5274 =====================================================
5276 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
5278 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
5279 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
5280 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
5281 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
5282 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
5283 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
5284 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
5285 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
5286 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
5287 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
5288 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
5290 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
5291 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
5293 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
5297 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
5298 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

5316 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
5317 =====================================================
5319 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
5320 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
5321 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
5322 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
5323 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
5324 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
5326 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
5329 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken

5572 * Translations updates:
5579 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5580 ====================================================
5582 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5584 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5586 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5587 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5590 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5591 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5594 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5596 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5598 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5601 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5602 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5604 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5606 * Applications/Actions
5608 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5609 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5612 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5613 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5615 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5616 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5617 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5618 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5622 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5623 accesses that are performed in common situations
5625 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5626 are installed/removed
5628 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5629 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5631 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5632 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5637 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5639 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5640 that test programs don't pick them up
5642 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5644 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5645 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5646 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5647 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5649 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5650 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5652 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5653 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5654 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5658 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5660 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5662 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5664 Translations updated:
5672 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

5676 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
5677 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
5678 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
5679 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
5680 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

5682 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
5683 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
5684 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

5714 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5715 ====================================================
5717 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5721 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5723 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5724 them can restart the application with an action (via
5729 - new API for launching subprocesses
5731 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5733 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5735 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5736 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5738 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5740 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5742 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5743 actions and listing apps and actions
5745 - bash tab completion is supported
5747 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5749 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5750 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5752 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5753 DBusActivatable=true
5755 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5756 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5761 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5763 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5764 class and inotify backend
5766 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5767 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5769 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5774 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5775 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5776 when there are invalid schemas installed
5778 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5782 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5783 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5785 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5788 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5789 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5790 semantics of the interface in each case
5792 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5793 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5795 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5797 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5798 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5799 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5800 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5804 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5807 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5809 * Portability improvements
5811 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5813 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5814 actually support it (like Hurd)
5816 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5818 * Other small API changes/additions
5820 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5821 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5822 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5824 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5826 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5827 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5829 * GMainContext/GSource
5831 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5833 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5834 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5835 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5836 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5837 broken and should probably be fixed.
5839 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5840 require use of a linked list
5844 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5845 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5846 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5848 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5852 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5853 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5854 gphoto, archive, at least).
5856 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5858 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5861 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5862 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5863 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5865 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5867 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5869 * Many documentation improvements
5872 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
5873 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
5874 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

5927 What's new in Glib 2.38
5928 ========================
5930 * Application support
5932 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5933 desktop entry specification
5935 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5936 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5937 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5939 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5940 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5941 to launch other applications
5943 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5944 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5948 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5949 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5950 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5951 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5952 any problems that this may have caused.
5954 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5955 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5956 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5957 (allowing memory savings)
5959 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5960 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5961 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5963 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5964 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5967 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5968 without destroying one of the objects involved
5972 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5973 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5974 with a finite number of cases
5976 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5977 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5979 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5980 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5981 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5982 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5985 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5989 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5990 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5991 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5993 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5995 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5996 and an API to check them
5998 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5999 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
6001 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
6002 with most functions, but this is not recommended
6006 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
6007 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
6008 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
6011 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
6012 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
6013 particular directory (akin to 'du').
6015 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
6020 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
6021 allow for regexp matching on streams
6023 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
6024 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
6025 g_variant_new_printf()
6029 - we can now generate TAP output
6031 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
6032 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
6034 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
6039 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

6164 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
6165 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
6166 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
6167 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
6169 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
6170 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

6239 build the unmodified source
6241 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
6243 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
6244 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
6245 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
6252 698375 - D-Bus async properties

6261 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
6263 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
6264 and will trigger a warning.
6267 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

6301 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
6302 ==============================================
6304 * add support for installed tests:
6305 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
6307 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
6308 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
6310 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
6312 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
6314 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
6315 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
6316 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
6318 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

6350 ==============================================
6352 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6353 and a parser API for them is now provided
6355 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6356 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6357 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

6417 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6418 ==============================================
6420 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6421 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6422 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6423 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6424 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6425 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6426 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6427 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6428 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6430 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6431 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6432 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6433 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6434 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6436 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6437 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6438 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6439 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6440 anyone was using it.
6442 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6444 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6445 the destination file

6531 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6532 ==============================================
6534 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6535 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)

6703 * Translation updates:
6718 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6719 ==============================================
6721 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6722 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6723 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6724 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6725 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6727 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6728 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6729 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6730 particular, are incompatible.
6732 * Bugs fixed in this release:

6766 * Translation updates:
6777 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6778 ==============================================
6780 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6781 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6782 causing regressions in applications.
6784 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6785 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6786 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6789 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6790 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6791 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6793 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6795 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6797 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6799 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6801 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6803 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6805 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6807 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6809 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6811 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6865 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6867 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6868 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

7422 * Updated translations:
7449 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7450 ===============================================
7452 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7453 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7454 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7457 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7458 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7459 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7460 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7461 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7462 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7463 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7465 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7466 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7467 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7468 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7469 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7471 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7473 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7475 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7476 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7477 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7478 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7481 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7482 such programs to break.
7484 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7485 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7486 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7488 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7489 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7491 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7493 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7809 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7810 ==============================================
7812 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7813 moved to GtkApplication.
7815 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7816 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7817 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7818 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7820 * lots of documentation improvements
7822 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7824 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7825 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7827 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7829 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7831 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7833 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7834 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7837 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7838 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
7839 664699 glib: documentation fixes
7840 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
7841 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
7842 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7843 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
7844 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
7845 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
7846 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
7847 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
7849 * Translations updated:
7853 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7854 ==============================================
7856 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7857 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7858 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7861 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7862 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7863 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7866 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7867 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7868 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7869 through an idle on the context.
7871 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7872 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7873 fixes here and there.
7875 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7876 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7877 API available outside GLib
7879 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7916 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
7918 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
7920 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7921 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7922 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7924 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7927 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7928 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
7929 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
7932 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

7943 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7944 =================================================
7946 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7947 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7949 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7950 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7951 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7952 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7953 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7954 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7955 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7956 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7957 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7958 required (and has been deprecated)
7959 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7960 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7961 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7962 without explicit initialisation.
7963 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7964 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7965 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7967 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7968 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7969 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7970 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7971 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7972 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7973 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7975 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7976 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7977 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7978 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7979 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7980 - other implementation details changed
7982 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7983 deprecated/ directory.
7985 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7986 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7987 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7989 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7990 platform over a year ago).
7992 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7993 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7995 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7996 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7998 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7999 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
8000 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
8001 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
8004 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
8005 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
8008 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
8010 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
8011 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
8013 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
8014 in a multi-threaded program
8016 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
8017 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
8020 - drop -uninstalled variants
8021 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
8023 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
8024 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
8025 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
8027 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
8029 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
8030 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
8033 - many code generation updates and improvements
8034 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
8037 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
8038 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
8040 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
8042 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
8045 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
8046 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
8048 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
8049 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
8051 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
8053 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
8057 * Partial list of bugs closed:
8058 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.
8059 320888 optimization for g_main_context_wakeup

8142 Brazilian Portuguese
8169 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
8170 ================================================
8172 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
8173 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
8174 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
8175 GObject depends on libffi now.

8186 - fix some harmless warnings
8188 * GDateTime improvements:
8189 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
8190 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
8191 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
8192 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
8193 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
8194 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks

8489 ==============================================
8491 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8492 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8493 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8494 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8495 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8496 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8498 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8499 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8501 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8503 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
8505 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

8556 * Updated translations:
8565 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8566 ==============================================
8569 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8570 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8571 an 'object manager' pattern:
8572 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8573 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8574 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8575 And server-side implementations:
8576 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8577 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8578 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8582 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8586 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8587 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8588 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8589 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8592 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8593 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8596 * Unix-specific APIs:
8597 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8598 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8599 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8600 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8601 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8602 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8626 * Updated translations
8633 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8634 ==============================================
8637 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8638 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8639 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8642 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8643 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8644 situations has been improved
8647 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8648 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8651 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8652 match strcmp() semantics
8653 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8654 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8655 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8657 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8658 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8661 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8663 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8665 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8666 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8667 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8948 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8949 ==============================================
8951 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8952 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8957 g_get_monotonic_time
8959 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8962 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8964 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8966 g_simple_async_result_take_error

8989 * Translation updates:
8997 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8998 ==============================================
9001 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
9002 - Support environment passing
9005 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
9006 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
9008 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
9009 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
9010 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
9014 158725 free linked list with data
9015 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
9016 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
9017 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
9018 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
9019 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
9020 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
9021 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option

9024 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
9025 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
9027 * Translation updates:
9033 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
9034 ==============================================
9036 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
9037 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
9039 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
9040 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
9042 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
9044 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
9046 g_settings_get_range
9047 g_settings_range_check
9048 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
9050 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
9051 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
9053 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
9054 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
9056 g_main_context_invoke
9057 g_main_context_invoke_full
9059 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
9060 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
9061 looking for default applications.
9063 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
9064 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
9065 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
9066 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
9068 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
9069 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
9070 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
9073 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

9327 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9328 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
9329 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9331 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
9332 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
9333 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
9334 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
9337 There have been many other improvements, however:
9340 - vastly improved test coverage
9341 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
9342 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
9343 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
9346 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

9361 without mapping functions
9362 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
9365 - improve closure support for bindings
9366 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
9369 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

9392 =====================================================
9394 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9395 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
9396 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
9397 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
9398 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9399 | required (and will be along soon). |
9400 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9403 - cleanup automake setup
9404 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
9405 - various docs fixups
9406 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

9412 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
9413 - add g_settings_reset()
9414 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
9417 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

9419 - proper support for file descriptor passing
9420 - new flags parameter for sending messages
9421 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
9422 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
9423 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
9424 - constness fixes for introspection structures
9425 - clean ups to subtree registration API
9428 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

9431 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
9432 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
9433 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
9436 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

9460 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
9461 =====================================================
9463 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9464 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9465 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9466 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9467 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9470 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9471 -Bsymbolic-functions
9472 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9473 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9474 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9475 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9476 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9479 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9480 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9481 nobody was doing that.
9482 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9484 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9485 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9487 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9488 have a serial number
9489 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9491 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9493 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9494 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9495 has finished running on GDBus services.
9496 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9497 this due to the obvious race)
9498 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9499 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9502 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9503 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9504 arguments and different behaviour
9505 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9506 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9507 strings instead of utf8 strings
9508 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9509 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9510 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9511 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9512 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9513 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9514 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9515 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9516 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9519 - improved documentation
9520 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9521 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9522 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9523 overridden using <override>.
9524 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9526 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9527 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9528 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp

9979 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9980 ===================================================
9982 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9983 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9984 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9985 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9986 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
9988 * Translation updates:
9998 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9999 ===================================================
10001 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
10002 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
10003 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
10004 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
10006 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10007 when g_type_init() is called.
10009 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
10010 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
10011 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
10013 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
10014 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
10015 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
10016 is a bug in application code.

10081 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
10082 - The parser will be in a future release.
10085 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)

10186 ===================================================
10188 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
10190 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
10192 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
10193 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
10194 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
10196 * Threading changes:
10197 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
10198 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
10200 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10201 when g_type_init() is called.
10202 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
10205 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
10208 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

10280 ===================================================
10283 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
10284 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
10285 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
10286 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
10287 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10288 while loading or saving it.
10289 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
10290 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
10291 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
10294 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
10295 interfaces to dynamic types.
10298 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
10299 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
10300 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10657 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
10658 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on

10662 for actual socket I/O.
10663 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving

10740 ===================================================
10742 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10743 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10744 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10745 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10746 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10747 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10748 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10749 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10750 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10751 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10752 object with the given URI.

11034 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
11035 ===================================================
11037 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
11038 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
11039 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
11040 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
11041 also uses less memory overall.
11043 * Make g_poll available as public api
11045 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
11046 that a GError is set or unset

11050 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
11051 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
11053 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
11054 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11131 ===================================================
11133 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
11134 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
11135 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
11136 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
11137 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
11138 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12470 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12471 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12473 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12476 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12477 ==================================================
12479 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12480 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12481 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12482 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12484 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12485 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12487 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12488 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12491 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12492 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12493 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12494 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12495 support ELF visibility attributes.
12497 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12498 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12500 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12501 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12502 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12503 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12504 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12505 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12506 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12507 to help with the transition.

12660 =================================================
12662 * Memory management
12663 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
12664 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
12665 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12666 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12669 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12672 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12673 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12674 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12675 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12676 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12677 variants [Martyn Russell]
12680 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12681 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
12684 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12687 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12688 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
12689 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
12690 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12691 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12692 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12693 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

12708 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12709 =================================================
12711 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12712 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12713 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12715 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12716 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12719 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12720 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12721 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12722 "stutter stepping".
12723 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12725 * Memory management:
12726 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12727 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12728 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12729 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12730 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12731 never worked as intended.
12732 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12733 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12734 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12735 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12736 efficient and scalable implementation.
12737 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12739 * Pattern matching:
12740 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12741 unnecessary recursion.
12744 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12745 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12746 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12749 * g_thread_foreach:
12750 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12753 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12754 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12755 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12759 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12760 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12761 since they are in glib.h

12780 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
12782 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
12783 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

12940 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12941 =================================================
12943 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12944 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12945 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12946 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12947 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12948 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12949 included through <glib.h>.
12951 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12952 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12953 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12954 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12955 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12957 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12958 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12959 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12960 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12961 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12963 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12964 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12965 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12966 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12968 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12969 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12970 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12972 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12973 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12974 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12975 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12976 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12977 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12979 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12980 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12981 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12982 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12984 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12985 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12986 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12987 stderr if you need to see them.
12989 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12990 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12991 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12992 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12993 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12994 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12996 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12997 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12998 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12999 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
13000 work with future versions of GLib.
13003 - GOption, a commandline option parser
13004 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
13005 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
13006 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
13007 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
13009 * Miscellaneous new functions
13010 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
13011 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
13012 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
13013 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
13014 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
13015 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
13016 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
13017 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
13018 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime

13026 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
13029 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
13030 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
13031 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
13032 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
13033 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
13034 - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols
