584 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
585 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
586 to an overridden property

639 moved to GtkApplication.
641 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
642 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
643 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
644 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
646 * lots of documentation improvements
648 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
650 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
651 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
653 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
655 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
657 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
659 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
660 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)

675 * Translations updated:
679 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
680 ==============================================
682 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
683 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
684 There have also been many related improvements to action group
687 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
688 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
689 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
692 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
693 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
694 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
695 through an idle on the context.
697 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
698 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
699 fixes here and there.
701 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
702 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
703 API available outside GLib
705 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

739 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
740 ==============================================
742 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
744 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
746 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
747 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
748 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
750 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
753 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
754 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
755 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
758 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
759 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
762 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
765 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
766 - various GIO file and stream fixes
767 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
769 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
770 =================================================
772 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
773 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
775 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
776 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
777 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
778 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
779 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
780 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
781 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
782 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
783 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
784 required (and has been deprecated)
785 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
786 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
787 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
788 without explicit initialisation.
789 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
790 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
791 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
793 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
794 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
795 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
796 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
797 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
798 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
799 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
801 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
802 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
803 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
804 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
805 - GThread is now a refcounted type
806 - other implementation details changed
808 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
809 deprecated/ directory.
811 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
812 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
813 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
815 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
816 platform over a year ago).
818 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
819 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
821 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
822 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
824 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
825 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
826 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
827 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
830 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
831 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
834 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
836 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
837 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
839 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
840 in a multi-threaded program
842 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
843 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
846 - drop -uninstalled variants
847 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
849 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
850 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
851 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
853 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
855 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
856 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
859 - many code generation updates and improvements
860 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
863 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
864 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
866 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
868 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
871 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
872 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
874 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
875 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
877 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
879 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
883 * Partial list of bugs closed:
884 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1309 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
1310 ==============================================
1312 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1313 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1314 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1315 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1316 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1317 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1319 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1320 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1322 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1324 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
1326 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

1377 * Updated translations:
1386 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1387 ==============================================
1390 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1391 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1392 an 'object manager' pattern:
1393 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1394 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1395 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1396 And server-side implementations:
1397 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1398 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1399 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1403 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
1407 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
1408 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
1409 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
1410 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
1413 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
1414 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
1417 * Unix-specific APIs:
1418 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
1419 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
1420 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
1421 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
1422 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
1423 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
1426 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

1440 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
1441 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
1442 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

1445 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
1447 * Updated translations
1454 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
1455 ==============================================
1458 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
1459 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
1460 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
1463 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
1464 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
1465 situations has been improved
1468 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
1469 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
1472 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
1473 match strcmp() semantics
1474 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
1475 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
1476 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
1478 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
1479 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
1482 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
1484 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
1486 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
1487 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
1488 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

1850 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
1851 ==============================================
1853 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
1854 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
1856 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
1857 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
1859 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
1861 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
1863 g_settings_get_range
1864 g_settings_range_check
1865 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
1867 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
1868 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
1870 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
1871 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
1873 g_main_context_invoke
1874 g_main_context_invoke_full
1876 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
1877 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
1878 looking for default applications.
1880 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
1881 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
1882 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
1883 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
1885 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
1886 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
1887 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

2142 =====================================================
2144 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2145 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2146 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2148 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2149 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2150 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2151 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2154 There have been many other improvements, however:
2157 - vastly improved test coverage
2158 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2159 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2160 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2209 =====================================================
2211 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2212 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2213 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2214 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2215 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2216 | required (and will be along soon). |
2217 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2220 - cleanup automake setup
2221 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2222 - various docs fixups
2223 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2229 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
2230 - add g_settings_reset()
2231 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2234 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

2240 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2241 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2242 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2245 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2249 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2250 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2253 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
2254 617483 Credentials passing
2255 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

2278 =====================================================
2280 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2281 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2282 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2283 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2284 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2287 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2288 -Bsymbolic-functions
2289 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2290 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2291 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2292 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2293 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2296 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2297 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2298 nobody was doing that.
2299 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2301 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2302 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2304 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2305 have a serial number
2306 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2308 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2310 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2311 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2312 has finished running on GDBus services.
2313 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2314 this due to the obvious race)
2315 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2316 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2319 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2320 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2321 arguments and different behaviour
2322 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2323 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2324 strings instead of utf8 strings
2325 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2326 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2327 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2328 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2329 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2330 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2331 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2332 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2333 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2336 - improved documentation
2337 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2338 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2339 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2340 overridden using <override>.
2341 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2343 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2344 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2345 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2346 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2347 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2348 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2349 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2350 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2351 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2352 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2353 being set due to a premature free
2354 - command line tool: bash completion support
2355 - chain up in _finalize
2356 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2358 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2359 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2360 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2362 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2363 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2364 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2365 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2366 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2370 - always intern GBinding prop names
2371 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2372 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2373 - GNode docs improvements
2374 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2375 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2376 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2380 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2381 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2382 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2383 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2384 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2385 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2386 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2387 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2389 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2390 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2391 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2392 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2393 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2394 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section

2431 ====================================================
2433 +----------------------------------------------------------------+
2434 | WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus. Users of these |

3079 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
3080 ===================================================
3083 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3084 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3085 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3086 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3087 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3088 while loading or saving it.
3089 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3090 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3091 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3094 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3095 interfaces to dynamic types.
3098 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

3818 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
3819 ===================================================
3821 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
3822 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
3823 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
3824 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
3825 also uses less memory overall.
3827 * Make g_poll available as public api
3829 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
3830 that a GError is set or unset
3832 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
3834 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
3835 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
3837 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
3838 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

5476 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
5477 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
5478 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
5479 efficient and scalable implementation.
5480 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
5483 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
5484 unnecessary recursion.

5493 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
5496 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
5497 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
5498 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
5502 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
5503 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
