50 * Translation updates:
65 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
66 ==============================================
68 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
69 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
70 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
71 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
72 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
74 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
75 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
76 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
77 particular, are incompatible.
79 * Bugs fixed in this release:
80 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

124 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
125 ==============================================
127 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
128 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
129 causing regressions in applications.
131 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
132 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
133 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
136 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
137 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
138 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
140 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
142 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
144 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
146 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
148 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
150 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
152 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
154 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
156 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
158 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

208 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
209 ==============================================
211 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
212 give feedback if they cause trouble:
214 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
215 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
217 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
219 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

1055 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1056 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1057 to an overridden property
1058 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1059 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

1106 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1107 ==============================================
1109 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1110 moved to GtkApplication.
1112 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1113 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1114 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1115 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1117 * lots of documentation improvements
1119 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1121 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1122 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1124 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1126 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1128 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1130 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1131 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1134 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1135 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1139 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1140 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
1141 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
1142 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no

1146 * Translations updated:
1150 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1151 ==============================================
1153 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1154 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1155 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1158 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1159 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1160 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1163 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1164 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1165 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1166 through an idle on the context.
1168 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1169 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1170 fixes here and there.
1172 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1173 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1174 API available outside GLib
1176 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1217 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1218 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1219 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1221 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1224 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1225 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

1241 =================================================
1243 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1244 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1246 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1247 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1248 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1249 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1250 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1251 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1252 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1253 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1254 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1255 required (and has been deprecated)
1256 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1257 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1258 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1259 without explicit initialisation.
1260 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1261 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1262 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1264 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1265 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1266 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1267 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1268 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1269 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1270 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1272 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1273 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1274 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1275 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1276 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1277 - other implementation details changed
1279 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1280 deprecated/ directory.
1282 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1283 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1284 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1286 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1287 platform over a year ago).
1289 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1290 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1292 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1293 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1295 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1296 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1297 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1298 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1301 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1302 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1305 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1307 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1308 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1310 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1311 in a multi-threaded program
1313 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1314 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1317 - drop -uninstalled variants
1318 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1320 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1321 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1322 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1324 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1326 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1327 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1330 - many code generation updates and improvements
1331 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1334 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1335 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1337 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1339 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1342 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1343 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1345 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1346 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1348 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1350 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1354 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1355 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1770 * Translation updates:
1780 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
1781 ==============================================
1783 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1784 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1785 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1786 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1787 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1788 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1790 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1791 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1793 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1795 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
1797 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

1857 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1858 ==============================================
1861 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1862 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1863 an 'object manager' pattern:
1864 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1865 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1866 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1867 And server-side implementations:
1868 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1869 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1870 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1874 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1878 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1879 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1880 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1881 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1884 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1885 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1888 * Unix-specific APIs:
1889 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1890 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1891 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1892 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1893 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1894 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
1897 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

1910 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
1911 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
1912 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
1913 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
1914 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
1915 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
1916 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
1918 * Updated translations
1925 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1926 ==============================================
1929 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1930 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1931 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1934 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1935 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1936 situations has been improved
1939 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1940 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1943 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1944 match strcmp() semantics
1945 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1946 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1947 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1949 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1950 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1953 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1955 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1957 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1958 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1959 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2239 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2240 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2245 g_get_monotonic_time
2247 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2250 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2252 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2254 g_simple_async_result_take_error
2255 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
2256 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
2258 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
2261 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
2262 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
2263 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
2265 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
2266 g_get_user_runtime_dir

2285 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
2286 ==============================================
2289 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2290 - Support environment passing
2293 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2294 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2296 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2297 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2298 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2302 158725 free linked list with data

2312 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
2313 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
2315 * Translation updates:
2321 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2322 ==============================================
2324 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2325 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2327 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2328 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2330 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2332 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2334 g_settings_get_range
2335 g_settings_range_check
2336 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2338 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2339 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2341 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2342 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2344 g_main_context_invoke
2345 g_main_context_invoke_full
2347 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2348 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2349 looking for default applications.
2351 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2352 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2353 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2354 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2356 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2357 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2358 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2409 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.15 to GLib 2.27.0
2410 ====================================================
2413 - massive restructuring to reduce #include abuse
2414 - tweaks to silence some harmless compiler warnings
2415 - rename gschema-compile.c to glib-compile-schemas.c
2417 - fix building with zlib < 1.2.4 on win32
2420 - better msgctxt for translating month and weekday names
2421 - API is changed quite a lot, implementation is improved
2422 - GTimeZone is now exposed
2425 - make ordering for overridden interface properties consistent

2615 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2616 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2617 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2619 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2620 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2621 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2622 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2625 There have been many other improvements, however:
2628 - vastly improved test coverage
2629 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2630 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2631 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2679 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2680 =====================================================
2682 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2683 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2684 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2685 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2686 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2687 | required (and will be along soon). |
2688 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2691 - cleanup automake setup
2692 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2693 - various docs fixups
2694 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2700 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
2701 - add g_settings_reset()
2702 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2705 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

2707 - proper support for file descriptor passing
2708 - new flags parameter for sending messages
2709 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
2710 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2711 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2712 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2713 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2716 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2719 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
2720 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2721 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2724 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

2748 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2749 =====================================================
2751 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2752 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2753 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2754 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2755 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2758 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2759 -Bsymbolic-functions
2760 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2761 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2762 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2763 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2764 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2767 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2768 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2769 nobody was doing that.
2770 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2772 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2773 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2775 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2776 have a serial number
2777 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2779 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2781 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2782 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2783 has finished running on GDBus services.
2784 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2785 this due to the obvious race)
2786 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2787 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2790 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2791 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2792 arguments and different behaviour
2793 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2794 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2795 strings instead of utf8 strings
2796 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2797 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2798 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2799 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2800 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2801 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2802 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2803 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2804 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2807 - improved documentation
2808 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2809 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2810 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2811 overridden using <override>.
2812 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2814 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2815 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2816 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2817 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2818 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2819 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2820 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2821 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2822 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2823 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2824 being set due to a premature free
2825 - command line tool: bash completion support
2826 - chain up in _finalize
2827 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2829 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2830 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2831 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2833 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2834 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2835 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2836 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2837 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2841 - always intern GBinding prop names
2842 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2843 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2844 - GNode docs improvements
2845 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2846 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2847 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2851 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2852 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2853 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2854 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2855 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2856 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2857 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2858 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2860 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2861 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2862 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2863 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2864 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2865 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2866 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
2867 610784 array test failing

3554 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3555 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3556 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

3558 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3559 while loading or saving it.
3560 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3561 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3562 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3565 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3566 interfaces to dynamic types.

4293 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4294 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

4296 also uses less memory overall.

4301 that a GError is set or unset
4303 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4305 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4306 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4308 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
