1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2 ==============================================
4 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
6 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
7 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
9 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
10 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
13 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
15 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
16 the key was locked down)
18 * Miscellaneous new api:
19 - g_variant_new_printf
20 - g_action_print_detailed_name
21 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind

76 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
78 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
79 build the unmodified source
81 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
83 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
84 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
85 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
92 698375 - D-Bus async properties
93 700350 - timestamp issue
94 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
95 700035 - new API for instance private data
97 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
98 ==============================================
100 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
101 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
103 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
104 and will trigger a warning.

187 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
189 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
190 ==============================================
192 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
193 and a parser API for them is now provided
195 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
196 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
197 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
199 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

245 * Translation updates:
257 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
258 ==============================================
260 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
262 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
265 - fix some 'available since' annotations
267 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
270 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
271 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
273 * Translations updated:
289 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
290 ==============================================
292 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
293 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
294 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
295 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

319 * Translation updates:
349 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
350 ==============================================
352 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
353 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
354 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
355 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
356 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
360 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
361 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
363 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
364 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
365 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
366 * documentation fixes
367 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
370 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

384 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
385 ==============================================
387 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
389 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
390 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
392 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
393 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
395 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
408 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
409 ==============================================
411 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
414 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
415 ready at a specified monotonic time
417 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
419 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
422 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
423 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

521 * Translation updates:
536 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
537 ==============================================
539 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
540 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
541 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
542 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
543 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
545 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
546 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
547 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
548 particular, are incompatible.
550 * Bugs fixed in this release:

584 * Translation updates:
595 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
596 ==============================================
598 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
599 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
600 causing regressions in applications.
602 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
603 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
604 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
607 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
608 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
609 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
611 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
613 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
615 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
617 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
619 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
621 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
623 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
625 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
627 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
629 * Many other docs and annotations fixes
642 649302 Add support for GNU/FreeBSD
643 668842 [GSocket] Add caching for the sender address in g_socket_receive_from()

1526 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1527 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1528 to an overridden property
1529 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1530 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1532 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

1577 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1578 ==============================================
1580 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1581 moved to GtkApplication.
1583 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1584 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1585 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1586 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1588 * lots of documentation improvements
1590 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1592 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1593 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1595 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1597 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1599 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1601 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1602 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1605 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1606 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1610 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1611 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

1614 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
1615 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
1617 * Translations updated:
1621 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1622 ==============================================
1624 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1625 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1626 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1629 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1630 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1631 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1634 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1635 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1636 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1637 through an idle on the context.
1639 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1640 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1641 fixes here and there.
1643 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1644 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1645 API available outside GLib
1647 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1689 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1690 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1692 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

1711 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1712 =================================================
1714 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1715 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1717 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1718 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1719 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1720 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1721 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1722 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1723 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1724 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1725 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1726 required (and has been deprecated)
1727 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1728 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1729 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1730 without explicit initialisation.
1731 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1732 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1733 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1735 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1736 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1737 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1738 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1739 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1740 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1741 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1743 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1744 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1745 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1746 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1747 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1748 - other implementation details changed
1750 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1751 deprecated/ directory.
1753 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1754 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1755 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1757 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1758 platform over a year ago).
1760 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1761 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1763 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1764 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1766 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1767 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1768 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1769 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1772 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1773 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1776 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1778 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1779 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1781 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1782 in a multi-threaded program
1784 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1785 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1788 - drop -uninstalled variants
1789 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1791 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1792 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1793 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1795 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1797 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1798 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1801 - many code generation updates and improvements
1802 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1805 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1806 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1808 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1810 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1813 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1814 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1816 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1817 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1819 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1821 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1825 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1826 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

2252 ==============================================
2254 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2255 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2256 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2257 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2258 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2259 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2261 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2262 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

2328 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2329 ==============================================
2332 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2333 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2334 an 'object manager' pattern:
2335 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2336 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2337 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2338 And server-side implementations:
2339 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2340 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2341 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2345 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2349 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2350 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2351 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2352 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2355 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2356 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2359 * Unix-specific APIs:
2360 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2361 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2362 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2363 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2364 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2365 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2708 ==============================================
2710 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
2711 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
2716 g_get_monotonic_time
2718 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
2721 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
2723 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
2725 g_simple_async_result_take_error
2726 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
2727 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
2729 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

2760 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
2761 - Support environment passing
2764 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2765 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2767 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2768 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2769 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2773 158725 free linked list with data

2786 * Translation updates:
2792 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2793 ==============================================
2795 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2796 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2798 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2799 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2801 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2803 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2805 g_settings_get_range
2806 g_settings_range_check
2807 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2809 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2810 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2812 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2813 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2815 g_main_context_invoke
2816 g_main_context_invoke_full
2818 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2819 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2820 looking for default applications.
2822 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2823 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2824 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2825 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2827 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2828 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2829 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3086 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3087 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
3088 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3090 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3091 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3092 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3093 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3096 There have been many other improvements, however:
3099 - vastly improved test coverage
3100 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
3101 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
3102 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
3105 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

3151 =====================================================
3153 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3154 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
3155 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
3156 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
3157 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
3158 | required (and will be along soon). |
3159 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3162 - cleanup automake setup
3163 - rename configure.in to configure.ac

3219 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3220 =====================================================
3222 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3223 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3224 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3225 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3226 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3229 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3230 -Bsymbolic-functions
3231 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3232 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3233 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3234 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3235 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3238 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3239 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3240 nobody was doing that.
3241 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3243 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3244 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3246 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3247 have a serial number
3248 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3250 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3252 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3253 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3254 has finished running on GDBus services.
3255 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3256 this due to the obvious race)
3257 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3258 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3261 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3262 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3263 arguments and different behaviour
3264 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3265 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3266 strings instead of utf8 strings
3267 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3268 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3269 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3270 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3271 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3272 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3273 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3274 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3275 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3278 - improved documentation
3279 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3280 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3281 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3282 overridden using <override>.
3283 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3285 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3286 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3287 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3288 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3289 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3290 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3291 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3292 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3293 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3294 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3295 being set due to a premature free
3296 - command line tool: bash completion support
3297 - chain up in _finalize
3298 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3300 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3301 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3302 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3304 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3305 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3306 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3307 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3308 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3312 - always intern GBinding prop names
3313 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3314 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3315 - GNode docs improvements
3316 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3317 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

3322 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3323 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3324 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3325 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3326 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3327 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3328 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3329 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3331 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3332 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3333 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3334 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3335 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3336 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3337 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3338 610784 array test failing
3339 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

4029 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
4030 while loading or saving it.
4031 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
4032 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
4033 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
4036 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
4037 interfaces to dynamic types.

4779 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
