899 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
900 ==============================================
902 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
903 moved to GtkApplication.
905 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
906 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
907 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
908 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
910 * lots of documentation improvements
912 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
914 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
915 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
917 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
919 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
921 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
923 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
924 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
927 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates

936 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
937 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
939 * Translations updated:
943 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
944 ==============================================
946 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
947 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
948 There have also been many related improvements to action group
951 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
952 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
953 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
956 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
957 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
958 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
959 through an idle on the context.
961 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
962 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
963 fixes here and there.
965 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
966 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
967 API available outside GLib
969 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1010 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1011 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1012 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1014 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

1030 - various GIO file and stream fixes
1031 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1033 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1034 =================================================
1036 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1037 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1039 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1040 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1041 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1042 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1043 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1044 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1045 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1046 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1047 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1048 required (and has been deprecated)
1049 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1050 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1051 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1052 without explicit initialisation.
1053 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1054 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1055 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1057 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1058 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1059 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1060 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1061 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1062 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1063 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1065 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1066 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1067 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1068 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1069 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1070 - other implementation details changed
1072 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1073 deprecated/ directory.
1075 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1076 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1077 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1079 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1080 platform over a year ago).
1082 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1083 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1085 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1086 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1088 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1089 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1090 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1091 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1094 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1095 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1098 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1100 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1101 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1103 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1104 in a multi-threaded program
1106 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1107 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1110 - drop -uninstalled variants
1111 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1113 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1114 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1115 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1117 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1119 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1120 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1123 - many code generation updates and improvements
1124 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1127 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1128 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1130 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1132 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1135 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1136 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1138 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1139 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1141 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1143 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1147 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1148 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1574 ==============================================
1576 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1577 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1578 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1579 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1580 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1581 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1583 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1584 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1586 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1588 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

1641 * Updated translations:
1650 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1651 ==============================================
1654 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1655 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1656 an 'object manager' pattern:
1657 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1658 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1659 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1660 And server-side implementations:
1661 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1662 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1663 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1667 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1671 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1672 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1673 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1674 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1677 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1678 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1681 * Unix-specific APIs:
1682 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1683 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1684 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1685 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1686 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1687 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

1711 * Updated translations
1718 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1719 ==============================================
1722 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1723 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1724 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1727 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1728 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1729 situations has been improved
1732 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1733 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1736 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1737 match strcmp() semantics
1738 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1739 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1740 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1742 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1743 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1746 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1748 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1750 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1751 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1752 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2083 - Support environment passing
2086 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2087 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2089 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2090 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2091 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2095 158725 free linked list with data

2108 * Translation updates:
2114 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2115 ==============================================
2117 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2118 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2120 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2121 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2123 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2125 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2127 g_settings_get_range
2128 g_settings_range_check
2129 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2131 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2132 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2134 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2135 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2137 g_main_context_invoke
2138 g_main_context_invoke_full
2140 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2141 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2142 looking for default applications.
2144 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2145 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2146 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2147 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2149 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2150 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2151 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2409 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2410 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2412 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2413 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2414 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2415 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2418 There have been many other improvements, however:
2421 - vastly improved test coverage
2422 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2423 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2424 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
2427 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
2430 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
2431 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
2432 - improve debug output, add some extra options
2433 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
2435 - sort property names correctly
2436 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
2438 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
2441 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
2442 without mapping functions
2443 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
2446 - improve closure support for bindings
2447 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
2450 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

2473 =====================================================
2475 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2476 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2477 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2478 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2479 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2480 | required (and will be along soon). |

2541 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2542 =====================================================
2544 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2545 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2546 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2547 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2548 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2551 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2552 -Bsymbolic-functions
2553 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2554 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2555 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2556 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2557 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2560 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2561 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2562 nobody was doing that.
2563 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2565 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2566 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2568 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2569 have a serial number
2570 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2572 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2574 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2575 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2576 has finished running on GDBus services.
2577 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2578 this due to the obvious race)
2579 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2580 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2583 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2584 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2585 arguments and different behaviour
2586 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2587 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2588 strings instead of utf8 strings
2589 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2590 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2591 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2592 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2593 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2594 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2595 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2596 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2597 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2600 - improved documentation
2601 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2602 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2603 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2604 overridden using <override>.
2605 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2607 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2608 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2609 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2610 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2611 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2612 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2613 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2614 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2615 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2616 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2617 being set due to a premature free
2618 - command line tool: bash completion support
2619 - chain up in _finalize
2620 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2622 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2623 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2624 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2626 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2627 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2628 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2629 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2630 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2634 - always intern GBinding prop names
2635 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2636 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2637 - GNode docs improvements
2638 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2639 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2640 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2644 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2645 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2646 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2647 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2648 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2649 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2650 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2651 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2653 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2654 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2655 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2656 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2657 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2658 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2659 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
2660 610784 array test failing
2661 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2662 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

3354 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3355 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3358 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3359 interfaces to dynamic types.

4086 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

4089 also uses less memory overall.

4098 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4099 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4101 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
