548 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
550 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing

725 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
726 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
728 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
729 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
731 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
732 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
734 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
735 third-party code should now be using
736 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)

748 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
750 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
752 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
754 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
755 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
757 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
759 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
760 of packaged libraries (!951)
762 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1234 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1235 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1236 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

1304 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1305 ==================================
1307 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1308 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1309 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1310 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1312 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1313 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1315 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1317 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1319 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1321 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1322 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1323 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1324 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1326 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1327 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1329 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1330 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1331 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1333 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1335 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1336 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1339 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1340 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1342 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1343 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1344 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1346 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1347 portal backends. (!317)
1349 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1352 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1354 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1357 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1359 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1362 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1363 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1364 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1366 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1367 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1369 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1370 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1371 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1372 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1374 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1376 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1585 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1586 ==================================
1588 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1589 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1590 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1591 with Meson or autotools. See:
1592 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1594 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1596 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1597 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1599 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1601 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1603 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1604 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1605 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1606 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1609 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1610 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1611 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1612 !265 Network monitor again
1613 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1614 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1615 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1616 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1617 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1618 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1620 * Translation updates:
1630 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1631 ==================================
1633 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1634 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1635 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1636 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1638 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1640 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1642 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1644 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1646 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1647 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1649 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1651 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1652 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1653 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1656 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1658 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1661 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1662 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

2832 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
2833 ==================================
2835 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
2836 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
2837 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
2838 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
2840 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
2841 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
2842 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
2844 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
2845 environment variable.
2847 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
2848 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this
2851 665446 Use g_abort() instead of abort()

3009 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3010 is unavailable or undesired.
3012 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

3067 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3068 ==================================
3070 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3071 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3072 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3073 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3075 This release corrects only this problem.
3077 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3078 ==================================
3080 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3081 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3082 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3084 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3430 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3431 ==================================
3433 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3434 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3435 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3436 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3437 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3438 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3440 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3441 have seen major improvements.
3443 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3444 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3445 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3448 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3450 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3452 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3454 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3455 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3456 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3457 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3458 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3459 you use the --strict option.
3461 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3462 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3463 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3465 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3467 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3468 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3469 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3514 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3515 ===================================
3517 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3518 before the release of 2.44.0.
3520 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3522 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3523 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3524 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3525 default in the next cycle.
3527 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3529 * new GTask:completed property
3531 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3532 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

3572 ===================================
3574 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3575 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3576 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3578 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3579 effective busy state.
3581 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

3632 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
3634 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
3635 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

4003 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
4004 ===================================
4006 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
4007 and NULL pointer dereferences.
4009 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
4010 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
4012 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
4013 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
4015 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
4016 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
4018 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
4020 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
4021 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
4023 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
4024 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
4025 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
4027 * ... and many other bug fixes.

4119 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4120 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4121 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4122 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4377 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4378 ====================================================
4380 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4382 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4384 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4385 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4388 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4389 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4392 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4394 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4396 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4399 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4400 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4402 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4404 * Applications/Actions
4406 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4407 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4410 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4411 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4413 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4414 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4415 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4416 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4420 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4421 accesses that are performed in common situations
4423 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4424 are installed/removed
4426 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4427 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4429 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4430 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4435 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4437 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4438 that test programs don't pick them up
4440 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4442 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4443 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4444 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4445 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4447 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4448 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4450 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4451 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4452 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4456 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4458 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4460 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

4512 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4513 ====================================================
4515 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4519 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4521 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4522 them can restart the application with an action (via
4527 - new API for launching subprocesses
4529 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4531 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4533 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4534 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4536 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4538 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4540 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4541 actions and listing apps and actions
4543 - bash tab completion is supported
4545 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4547 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4548 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4550 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4551 DBusActivatable=true
4553 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4554 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4559 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4561 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4562 class and inotify backend
4564 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4565 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4567 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4572 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4573 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4574 when there are invalid schemas installed
4576 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4580 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4581 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4583 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4586 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4587 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4588 semantics of the interface in each case
4590 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4591 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4593 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4595 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4596 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4597 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4598 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4602 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4605 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4607 * Portability improvements
4609 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4611 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4612 actually support it (like Hurd)
4614 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4616 * Other small API changes/additions
4618 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4619 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4620 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4622 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4624 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4625 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4627 * GMainContext/GSource
4629 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4631 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4632 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4633 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4634 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4635 broken and should probably be fixed.
4637 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4638 require use of a linked list
4642 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4643 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4644 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4646 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4650 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4651 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4652 gphoto, archive, at least).
4654 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4656 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4659 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4660 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4661 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4663 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4665 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4667 * Many documentation improvements
4670 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4671 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4672 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

4725 What's new in Glib 2.38
4726 ========================
4728 * Application support
4730 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4731 desktop entry specification
4733 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4734 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4735 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4737 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4738 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4739 to launch other applications
4741 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4742 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4746 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4747 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4748 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4749 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4750 any problems that this may have caused.
4752 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4753 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4754 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4755 (allowing memory savings)
4757 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4758 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4759 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4761 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4762 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4765 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4766 without destroying one of the objects involved
4770 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4771 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4772 with a finite number of cases
4774 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4775 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4777 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4778 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4779 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4780 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4783 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4787 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4788 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4789 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4791 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4793 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4794 and an API to check them
4796 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4797 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4799 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4800 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4804 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4805 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4806 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4809 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4810 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4811 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4813 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4818 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4819 allow for regexp matching on streams
4821 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4822 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4823 g_variant_new_printf()
4827 - we can now generate TAP output
4829 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4830 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4832 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4837 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4959 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
4960 ==============================================
4962 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
4963 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4964 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4965 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
4967 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
4968 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
4971 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
4973 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
4974 the key was locked down)

5147 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
5148 ==============================================
5150 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5151 and a parser API for them is now provided
5153 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5154 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for

5215 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
5216 ==============================================
5218 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5220 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5221 the destination file
5223 - fix some 'available since' annotations
5225 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

5248 ==============================================
5250 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5251 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5252 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5253 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5307 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5308 ==============================================
5310 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5311 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5312 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5313 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5314 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

5343 ==============================================
5345 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5347 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5348 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5350 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5351 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5353 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5366 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5367 ==============================================
5369 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5372 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5373 ready at a specified monotonic time
5375 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5377 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

5479 * Translation updates:
5494 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5495 ==============================================
5497 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5498 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5499 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5500 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5501 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5503 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5504 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5505 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5506 particular, are incompatible.
5508 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5553 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5554 ==============================================
5556 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5557 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5558 causing regressions in applications.
5560 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5561 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5562 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5565 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5566 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5567 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5569 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5571 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5573 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5575 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5577 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5579 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5581 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5583 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5585 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5587 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5638 ==============================================
5640 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5641 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5643 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5644 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5646 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5648 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

6481 ==============================================
6484 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6485 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6486 to an overridden property
6487 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6488 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6490 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6491 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

6535 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6536 ==============================================
6538 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6539 moved to GtkApplication.
6541 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6542 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6543 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6544 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6546 * lots of documentation improvements
6548 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6550 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6551 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6553 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6555 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6557 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6559 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6560 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6563 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6564 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

6568 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6569 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

6571 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6572 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6573 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6575 * Translations updated:
6579 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6580 ==============================================
6582 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6583 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6584 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6587 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6588 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6589 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6592 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6593 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6594 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6595 through an idle on the context.
6597 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6598 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6599 fixes here and there.
6601 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6602 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6603 API available outside GLib
6605 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6646 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6647 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6648 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6650 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6653 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

6669 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6670 =================================================
6672 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6673 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6675 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6676 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6677 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6678 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6679 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6680 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6681 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6682 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6683 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6684 required (and has been deprecated)
6685 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6686 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6687 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6688 without explicit initialisation.
6689 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6690 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6691 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6693 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6694 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6695 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6696 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6697 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6698 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6699 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6701 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6702 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6703 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6704 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6705 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6706 - other implementation details changed
6708 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6709 deprecated/ directory.
6711 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6712 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6713 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6715 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6716 platform over a year ago).
6718 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6719 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6721 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6722 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6724 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6725 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6726 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6727 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6730 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6731 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6734 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6736 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6737 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6739 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6740 in a multi-threaded program
6742 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6743 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6746 - drop -uninstalled variants
6747 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6749 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6750 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6751 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6753 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6755 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6756 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6759 - many code generation updates and improvements
6760 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6763 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6764 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6766 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6768 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6771 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6772 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6774 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6775 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6777 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6779 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
6783 * Partial list of bugs closed:
6784 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7210 ==============================================
7212 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7213 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7214 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7215 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7216 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7217 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7219 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7220 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7222 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7224 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7226 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

7277 * Updated translations:
7286 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7287 ==============================================
7290 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7291 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7292 an 'object manager' pattern:
7293 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7294 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7295 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7296 And server-side implementations:
7297 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7298 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7299 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7303 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7307 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7308 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7309 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7310 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7313 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7314 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7317 * Unix-specific APIs:
7318 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7319 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7320 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7321 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7322 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7323 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7347 * Updated translations
7354 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7355 ==============================================
7358 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7359 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7360 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7363 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7364 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7365 situations has been improved
7368 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7369 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7372 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7373 match strcmp() semantics
7374 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7375 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7376 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7378 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7379 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7382 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7384 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7386 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7387 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7388 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7719 - Support environment passing
7722 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7723 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7725 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7726 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7727 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

7744 * Translation updates:
7750 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7751 ==============================================
7753 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7754 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7756 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7757 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7759 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7761 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7763 g_settings_get_range
7764 g_settings_range_check
7765 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7767 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7768 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7770 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7771 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7773 g_main_context_invoke
7774 g_main_context_invoke_full
7776 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7777 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7778 looking for default applications.
7780 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7781 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7782 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7783 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7785 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7786 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7787 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8046 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8048 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8049 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8050 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8051 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8054 There have been many other improvements, however:
8057 - vastly improved test coverage
8058 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8059 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

8112 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8113 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8114 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |

8177 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
8178 =====================================================
8180 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8181 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8182 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8183 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8184 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8187 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8188 -Bsymbolic-functions
8189 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8190 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8191 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8192 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8193 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8196 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8197 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8198 nobody was doing that.
8199 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8201 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8202 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8204 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8205 have a serial number
8206 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8208 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8210 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8211 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8212 has finished running on GDBus services.
8213 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8214 this due to the obvious race)
8215 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8216 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8219 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8220 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8221 arguments and different behaviour
8222 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8223 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8224 strings instead of utf8 strings
8225 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8226 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8227 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8228 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8229 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8230 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8231 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8232 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8233 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8236 - improved documentation
8237 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8238 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8239 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8240 overridden using <override>.
8241 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8243 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8244 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8245 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8246 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8247 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8248 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8249 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8250 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8251 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8252 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8253 being set due to a premature free
8254 - command line tool: bash completion support
8255 - chain up in _finalize
8256 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8258 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8259 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8260 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8262 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8263 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8264 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8265 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8266 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8270 - always intern GBinding prop names
8271 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8272 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8273 - GNode docs improvements
8274 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8275 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8276 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8280 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8281 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8282 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8283 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8284 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8285 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8286 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8287 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8289 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8290 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8291 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8292 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8293 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8294 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8295 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
8296 610784 array test failing
8297 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8298 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

8980 ===================================================
8983 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8984 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8985 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8986 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8987 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
8988 while loading or saving it.
8989 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
8990 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8991 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8994 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8995 interfaces to dynamic types.
8998 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

9735 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
9737 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

11308 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
11309 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
11312 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
11315 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
11316 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
11317 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
11318 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11319 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11320 variants [Martyn Russell]
11323 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
11324 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
11327 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
11330 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64

11352 =================================================
11354 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11355 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11356 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11358 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11359 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11362 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11363 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11364 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11365 "stutter stepping".
11366 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11368 * Memory management:
11369 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11370 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11371 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11372 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11373 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11374 never worked as intended.
11375 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11376 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11377 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11378 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11379 efficient and scalable implementation.
11380 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11382 * Pattern matching:
11383 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11384 unnecessary recursion.
11387 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11388 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11389 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11392 * g_thread_foreach:
11393 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11396 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11397 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11398 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11402 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11403 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11404 since they are in glib.h
