1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.7
2 ==================================
4 * Fix various regressions caused by rushed security fixes in 2.66.6
5 (work by Simon McVittie and Jan Alexander Steffens) (!1933, !1943)
7 * Fix a silent integer truncation when calling `g_byte_array_new_take()` for
8 byte arrays bigger than `G_MAXUINT` (work by Krzesimir Nowak) (!1944)
10 * Disallow using currently-undefined D-Bus connection or server flags to prevent
11 forward-compatibility problems with new security-sensitive flags likely to be
12 released in GLib 2.68 (work by Simon McVittie) (!1945)
15 - !1933 [2.66] Fix regressions in 2.66.6 where negative gssize indicates strlen()
16 - !1943 Backport !1941 “gkeyfilesettingsbackend: Fix basename handling when group is unset” to glib-2-66
17 - !1944 Backport !1942 “gbytearray: Do not accept too large byte arrays” to glib-2-66
18 - !1945 Backport !1934 “gdbus: Reject attempts to set future connection or server flags” to glib-2-66
21 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.6
22 ==================================
24 * Fix various instances within GLib where `g_memdup()` was vulnerable to a
25 silent integer truncation and heap overflow problem (discovered by
26 Kevin Backhouse, work by Philip Withnall) (#2319)
29 - !1927 Backport !1926 “Add g_memdup2()” to glib-2-66
32 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.5
33 ==================================
35 * Fix some issues with handling over-long (invalid) input when parsing for `GDate` (!1824)
37 * Don’t load GIO modules or parse other GIO environment variables when `AT_SECURE`
38 is set (i.e. in a setuid/setgid/setcap process). GIO has always been
39 documented as not being safe to use in privileged processes, but people persist
40 in using it unsafely, so these changes should harden things against potential
41 attacks at least a little. Unfortunately they break a couple of projects which
42 were relying on reading `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, so GIO continues to read
43 that for setgid/setcap (but not setuid) processes. This loophole will be closed
44 in GLib 2.70 (see issue #2316), which should give modules 6 months to change
45 their behaviour. (Work by Simon McVittie and Philip Withnall) (#2168, #2305)
47 * Fix `g_spawn()` searching `PATH` when it wasn’t meant to (work by
48 Simon McVittie and Thomas Haller) (!1913)

80 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.3
81 ==================================
83 * Fix awkward bug with `GPollFD` handling in some situations (work by Claudio
84 Saavedra and Eugene M) (#1592)
86 * Fix sending FDs attached to very large D-Bus messages (work by Simon McVittie
87 and Giovanni Campagna) (#2074)
90 - #1592 Main loop ignores GPollFD sources when there is at least one source ready with priority higher than default one

99 ==================================
101 * Important and time-critical fix to DST transitions which will happen in Europe
102 on 2020-10-25 on distributions which use the ‘slim’ tzdata format (which is
103 now the default in tzdata/tzcode 2020b) (work by Claudi M., LRN) (#2224)
105 * Further timezone handling changes to restore support for changing the timezone
106 when `/etc/localtime/` changes (work by António Fernandes, Sebastian Keller) (#2204)
108 * Fix deadlock on Windows when `G_SLICE` is set in the environment (diagnosis by
109 Christoph Reiter) (#2225)
111 * Fix UTF-8 validation when escaping URI components (thanks to Marc-André Lureau) (!1680)
114 - #2203 fstatat is available only on macOS 10.10+
115 - #2224 top bar time is incorrect, timezone map in control center is broken

134 ==================================
136 * A performance problem where timezones were reloaded from disk every time a
137 `GTimeZone` was created has been fixed (#2204), but this means that changes to
138 `/etc/localtime` will not take effect until a process restarts; future changes
139 in a subsequent 2.66.x release will improve this
141 * Security fix for incorrect scope/zone ID parsing in URIs (!1669)

954 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
956 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing
957 `G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS` flag; the destination permissions would be
958 private rather than following the process’ umask (!1142)
960 * Several `GDateTime` parsing fixes (!1127)
962 * Always build the tests if installed-tests are enabled, so that the tests can
963 actually be installed (!1141)

966 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
967 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
969 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
971 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)

1131 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1132 rather than silently leaking. (#787)

1138 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1140 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;

1158 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1160 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1161 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1163 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1165 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1166 of packaged libraries (!951)
1168 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1626 ==================================
1628 * Autotools support is gone. (!580)
1630 * g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;

1639 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
1640 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1641 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1642 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
1644 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
1646 * Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be

1710 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1711 ==================================
1713 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1714 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1715 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1716 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1718 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1719 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1721 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1723 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1725 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1727 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1728 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1729 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1730 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1732 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1733 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1735 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1736 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1737 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1739 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1741 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1742 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1745 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1746 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1748 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1749 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1750 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1752 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1753 portal backends. (!317)
1755 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1758 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1760 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1763 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1765 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1768 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1769 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1770 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1772 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1773 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1775 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1776 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1777 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1778 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1780 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1782 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1991 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1992 ==================================
1994 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1995 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1996 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1997 with Meson or autotools. See:
1998 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2000 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2002 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2003 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2005 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2007 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2009 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2010 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2011 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2012 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2015 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2016 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2017 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2018 !265 Network monitor again
2019 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2020 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2021 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2022 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2023 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2024 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2026 * Translation updates:
2036 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2037 ==================================
2039 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2040 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2041 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2042 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2044 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2046 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2048 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2050 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2052 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2053 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2055 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2057 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2058 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2059 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2062 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2064 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2067 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2068 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

3239 ==================================
3241 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3242 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3243 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3244 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

3247 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3248 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3250 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3251 environment variable.
3253 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3254 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3416 is unavailable or undesired.
3418 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

3474 ==================================
3476 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3477 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3478 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3479 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3481 This release corrects only this problem.
3483 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3484 ==================================
3486 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3487 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3488 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3490 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3836 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3837 ==================================
3839 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3840 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3841 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3842 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3843 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3844 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3846 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3847 have seen major improvements.
3849 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3850 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3851 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3854 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3856 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3858 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3860 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3861 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3862 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3863 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3864 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3865 you use the --strict option.
3867 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3868 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3869 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3871 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3873 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3874 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3875 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3920 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3921 ===================================
3923 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3924 before the release of 2.44.0.
3926 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3928 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3929 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3930 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3931 default in the next cycle.
3933 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3935 * new GTask:completed property
3937 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3938 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

3978 ===================================
3980 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3981 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3982 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3984 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3985 effective busy state.
3987 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4430 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
4431 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded

4521 =====================================================
4523 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4524 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4525 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4526 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4527 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4528 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4783 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4784 ====================================================
4786 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4788 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4790 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4791 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4794 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4795 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4798 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4800 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4802 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4805 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4806 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4808 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4810 * Applications/Actions
4812 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4813 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4816 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4817 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4819 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4820 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4821 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4822 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4826 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4827 accesses that are performed in common situations
4829 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4830 are installed/removed
4832 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4833 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4835 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4836 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4841 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4843 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4844 that test programs don't pick them up
4846 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4848 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4849 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4850 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4851 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4853 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4854 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4856 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4857 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4858 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4862 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4864 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4866 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4868 Translations updated:
4876 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

4919 ====================================================
4921 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4925 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4927 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4928 them can restart the application with an action (via
4933 - new API for launching subprocesses
4935 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4937 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4939 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4940 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4942 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4944 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4946 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4947 actions and listing apps and actions
4949 - bash tab completion is supported
4951 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4953 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4954 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4956 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4957 DBusActivatable=true
4959 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4960 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4965 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4967 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4968 class and inotify backend
4970 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4971 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4973 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4978 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4979 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4980 when there are invalid schemas installed
4982 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4986 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4987 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4989 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4992 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4993 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4994 semantics of the interface in each case
4996 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4997 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4999 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5001 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5002 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5003 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5004 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5008 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5011 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5013 * Portability improvements
5015 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5017 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5018 actually support it (like Hurd)
5020 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5022 * Other small API changes/additions
5024 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5025 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5026 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5028 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5030 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5031 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5033 * GMainContext/GSource
5035 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5037 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5038 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5039 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5040 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5041 broken and should probably be fixed.
5043 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5044 require use of a linked list
5048 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5049 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5050 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5052 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5056 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5057 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5058 gphoto, archive, at least).
5060 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5062 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5065 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5066 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5067 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5069 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5071 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5073 * Many documentation improvements

5131 What's new in Glib 2.38
5132 ========================
5134 * Application support
5136 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5137 desktop entry specification
5139 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5140 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5141 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5143 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5144 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5145 to launch other applications
5147 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5148 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5152 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5153 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5154 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5155 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5156 any problems that this may have caused.
5158 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5159 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5160 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5161 (allowing memory savings)
5163 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5164 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5165 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5167 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5168 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5171 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5172 without destroying one of the objects involved
5176 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5177 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5178 with a finite number of cases
5180 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5181 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5183 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5184 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5185 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5186 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5189 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5193 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5194 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5195 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5197 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5199 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5200 and an API to check them
5202 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5203 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5205 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5206 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5210 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5211 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5212 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5215 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5216 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5217 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5219 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5224 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5225 allow for regexp matching on streams
5227 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5228 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5229 g_variant_new_printf()
5233 - we can now generate TAP output
5235 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5236 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5238 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5243 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5366 ==============================================
5368 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5369 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5370 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5371 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5373 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5374 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5377 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5379 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
5380 the key was locked down)

5462 ==============================================
5464 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5465 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5467 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5468 and will trigger a warning.
5471 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5512 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5514 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5516 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5518 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

5554 ==============================================
5556 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5557 and a parser API for them is now provided
5559 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5560 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5561 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5621 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
5622 ==============================================
5624 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5626 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5627 the destination file
5629 - fix some 'available since' annotations
5631 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

5653 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5654 ==============================================
5656 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5657 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5658 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5659 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5713 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5714 ==============================================
5716 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5717 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5718 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5719 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5720 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5724 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5725 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5727 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

5749 ==============================================
5751 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5753 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5754 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5756 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5757 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5759 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5772 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5773 ==============================================
5775 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5778 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5779 ready at a specified monotonic time
5781 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5783 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
5786 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
5787 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

5885 * Translation updates:
5900 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5901 ==============================================
5903 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5904 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5905 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5906 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5907 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5909 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5910 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5911 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5912 particular, are incompatible.
5914 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5959 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5960 ==============================================
5962 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5963 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5964 causing regressions in applications.
5966 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5967 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5968 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5971 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5972 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5973 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5975 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5977 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5979 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5981 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5983 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5985 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5987 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5989 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5991 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5993 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6043 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
6044 ==============================================
6046 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6047 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6049 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6050 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6052 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6054 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
6056 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
6058 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
6060 * GLib version macros updated
6062 * Update to Unicode 6.2

6887 ==============================================
6890 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6891 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6892 to an overridden property
6893 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6894 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6896 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6897 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

6941 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6942 ==============================================
6944 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6945 moved to GtkApplication.
6947 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6948 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6949 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6950 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6952 * lots of documentation improvements
6954 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6956 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6957 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6959 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6961 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6963 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6965 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6966 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6969 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6970 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
6971 664699 glib: documentation fixes
6972 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
6973 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
6974 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6975 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
6976 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
6977 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6978 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6979 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6981 * Translations updated:
6985 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6986 ==============================================
6988 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6989 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6990 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6993 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6994 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6995 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6998 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6999 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7000 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7001 through an idle on the context.
7003 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7004 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7005 fixes here and there.
7007 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7008 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7009 API available outside GLib
7011 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7052 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7053 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7054 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7056 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7059 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7060 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

7075 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7076 =================================================
7078 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7079 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7081 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7082 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7083 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7084 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7085 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7086 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7087 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7088 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7089 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7090 required (and has been deprecated)
7091 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7092 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7093 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7094 without explicit initialisation.
7095 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7096 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7097 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7099 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7100 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7101 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7102 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7103 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7104 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7105 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7107 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7108 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7109 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7110 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7111 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7112 - other implementation details changed
7114 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7115 deprecated/ directory.
7117 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7118 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7119 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7121 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7122 platform over a year ago).
7124 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7125 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7127 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7128 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7130 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7131 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7132 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7133 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7136 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7137 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7140 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7142 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7143 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7145 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7146 in a multi-threaded program
7148 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7149 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7152 - drop -uninstalled variants
7153 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7155 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7156 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7157 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7159 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7161 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7162 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7165 - many code generation updates and improvements
7166 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7169 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7170 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7172 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7174 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7177 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7178 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7180 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7181 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7183 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7185 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7189 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7190 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7479 - sleep longer in a test case, if needed to avoid failing
7481 * Units policy change: prefer use of SI units
7482 - deprecate g_format_size_for_display, add g_format_size(_full)
7484 * GSettings: don't call g_error() when the schema is missing

7616 ==============================================
7618 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7619 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7620 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7621 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7622 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7623 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7625 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7626 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7628 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7630 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7632 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

7683 * Updated translations:
7692 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7693 ==============================================
7696 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7697 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7698 an 'object manager' pattern:
7699 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7700 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7701 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7702 And server-side implementations:
7703 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7704 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7705 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7709 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7713 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7714 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7715 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7716 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7719 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7720 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7723 * Unix-specific APIs:
7724 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7725 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7726 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7727 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7728 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7729 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7753 * Updated translations
7760 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7761 ==============================================
7764 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7765 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7766 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7769 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7770 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7771 situations has been improved
7774 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7775 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7778 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7779 match strcmp() semantics
7780 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7781 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7782 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7784 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7785 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7788 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7790 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7792 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7793 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7794 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8125 - Support environment passing
8128 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8129 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8131 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8132 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8133 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8137 158725 free linked list with data

8150 * Translation updates:
8156 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8157 ==============================================
8159 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8160 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8162 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8163 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8165 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8167 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8169 g_settings_get_range
8170 g_settings_range_check
8171 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8173 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8174 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8176 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8177 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8179 g_main_context_invoke
8180 g_main_context_invoke_full
8182 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8183 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8184 looking for default applications.
8186 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8187 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8188 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8189 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8191 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8192 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8193 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8450 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8451 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8452 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8454 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8455 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8456 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8457 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8460 There have been many other improvements, however:
8463 - vastly improved test coverage
8464 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8465 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8466 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8484 without mapping functions
8485 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
8488 - improve closure support for bindings
8489 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

8515 =====================================================
8517 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8518 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8519 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8520 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8521 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8522 | required (and will be along soon). |
8523 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8526 - cleanup automake setup
8527 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8528 - various docs fixups
8529 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
8530 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
8533 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
8535 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
8536 - add g_settings_reset()
8537 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
8540 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
8541 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
8542 - proper support for file descriptor passing
8543 - new flags parameter for sending messages
8544 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
8545 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
8546 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8547 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8548 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8551 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
8552 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
8553 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
8554 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
8555 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
8556 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
8559 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
8560 617483 Credentials passing

8584 =====================================================
8586 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8587 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8588 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8589 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8590 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8593 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8594 -Bsymbolic-functions
8595 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8596 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8597 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8598 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8599 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8602 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8603 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8604 nobody was doing that.
8605 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8607 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8608 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8610 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8611 have a serial number
8612 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8614 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8616 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8617 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8618 has finished running on GDBus services.
8619 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8620 this due to the obvious race)
8621 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8622 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8625 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8626 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8627 arguments and different behaviour
8628 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8629 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8630 strings instead of utf8 strings
8631 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8632 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8633 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8634 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped

8639 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8642 - improved documentation
8643 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8644 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8645 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8646 overridden using <override>.
8647 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8649 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8650 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8651 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8652 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8653 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8654 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8655 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8656 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8657 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8658 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8659 being set due to a premature free
8660 - command line tool: bash completion support
8661 - chain up in _finalize
8662 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8664 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8665 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8666 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8668 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8669 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8670 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8671 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8672 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8676 - always intern GBinding prop names
8677 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8678 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8679 - GNode docs improvements
8680 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts

8688 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8689 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8690 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...

8692 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8693 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8695 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8696 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

8698 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8699 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8700 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8701 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

9389 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9390 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9391 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9392 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9393 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9394 while loading or saving it.
9395 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9396 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9397 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9400 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9401 interfaces to dynamic types.
9404 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9405 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

10125 ===================================================
10127 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10128 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10129 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10130 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10131 also uses less memory overall.
10133 * Make g_poll available as public api
10135 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10136 that a GError is set or unset
10138 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10140 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10141 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10143 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10144 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11709 =================================================
11711 * Memory management
11712 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
11713 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
11714 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
11715 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
11718 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
11721 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
11722 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
11723 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
11724 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11725 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11726 variants [Martyn Russell]
11729 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
11730 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
11733 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
11736 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
11737 constants [Andrew Paprocki]

11739 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
11740 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
11741 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
11742 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

11758 =================================================
11760 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11761 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11762 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11764 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11765 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11768 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11769 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11770 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11771 "stutter stepping".
11772 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11774 * Memory management:
11775 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11776 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11777 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11778 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11779 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11780 never worked as intended.
11781 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11782 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11783 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11784 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11785 efficient and scalable implementation.
11786 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11788 * Pattern matching:
11789 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11790 unnecessary recursion.
11793 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11794 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11795 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11798 * g_thread_foreach:
11799 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11802 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11803 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11804 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11808 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11809 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11810 since they are in glib.h
