173 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
174 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
175 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
176 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

244 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
245 ==================================
247 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
248 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
249 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
250 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
252 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
253 directory for each unit test. (#538)
255 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
257 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
259 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
261 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
262 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
263 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
264 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
266 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
267 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
269 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
270 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
271 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
273 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
275 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
276 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
279 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
280 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
282 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
283 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
284 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
286 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
287 portal backends. (!317)
289 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
292 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
294 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
297 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
299 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
302 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
303 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
304 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
306 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
307 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
309 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
310 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
311 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
312 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
314 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
316 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

525 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
526 ==================================
528 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
529 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
530 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
531 with Meson or autotools. See:
532 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
534 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
536 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
537 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
539 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
541 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
543 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
544 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
545 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
546 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
549 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
550 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
551 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
552 !265 Network monitor again
553 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
554 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
555 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
556 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
557 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
558 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
560 * Translation updates:
570 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
571 ==================================
573 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
574 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
575 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
576 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
578 * Many minor documentation fixes.
580 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
582 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
584 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
586 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
587 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
589 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
591 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
592 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
593 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
596 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
598 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
601 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
602 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

1773 ==================================
1775 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1776 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1777 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1778 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1780 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1781 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1782 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1784 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1785 environment variable.
1787 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1788 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1950 is unavailable or undesired.
1952 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

2007 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2008 ==================================
2010 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2011 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2012 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2013 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2015 This release corrects only this problem.
2017 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2018 ==================================
2020 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2021 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around

2370 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2371 ==================================
2373 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2374 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2375 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2376 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2377 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2378 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2380 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2381 have seen major improvements.
2383 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2384 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2385 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2388 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2390 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2392 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2394 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2395 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2396 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2397 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2398 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2399 you use the --strict option.
2401 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2402 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2403 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2405 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2407 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2408 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2409 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2455 ===================================
2457 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2458 before the release of 2.44.0.
2460 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2462 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2463 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2464 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2465 default in the next cycle.
2467 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

3061 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3062 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

3310 * Translations updates:
3317 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3318 ====================================================
3320 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3322 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3324 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3325 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3328 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3329 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3332 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3334 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3336 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3339 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3340 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3342 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3344 * Applications/Actions
3346 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3347 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3350 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3351 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3353 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3354 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3355 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3356 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3360 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3361 accesses that are performed in common situations
3363 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3364 are installed/removed
3366 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3367 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3369 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3370 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3375 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3377 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3378 that test programs don't pick them up
3380 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3382 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3383 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3384 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3385 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3387 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3388 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3390 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3391 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3392 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3396 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3398 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3400 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3402 Translations updated:
3410 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3414 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
3415 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key

3418 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

3420 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3421 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3422 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3452 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3453 ====================================================
3455 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3459 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3461 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3462 them can restart the application with an action (via
3467 - new API for launching subprocesses
3469 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3471 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3473 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3474 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3476 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3478 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3480 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3481 actions and listing apps and actions
3483 - bash tab completion is supported
3485 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3487 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3488 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3490 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3491 DBusActivatable=true
3493 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3494 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3499 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3501 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3502 class and inotify backend
3504 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3505 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3507 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3512 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3513 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3514 when there are invalid schemas installed
3516 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3520 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3521 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3523 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3526 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3527 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3528 semantics of the interface in each case
3530 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3531 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3533 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3535 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3536 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3537 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3538 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3542 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3545 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3547 * Portability improvements
3549 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3551 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3552 actually support it (like Hurd)
3554 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3556 * Other small API changes/additions
3558 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3559 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3560 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3562 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3564 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3565 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3567 * GMainContext/GSource
3569 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3571 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3572 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3573 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3574 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3575 broken and should probably be fixed.
3577 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3578 require use of a linked list
3582 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3583 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3584 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3586 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3590 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3591 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3592 gphoto, archive, at least).
3594 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3596 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3599 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3600 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3601 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3603 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3605 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3607 * Many documentation improvements
3610 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3611 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3612 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3665 What's new in Glib 2.38
3666 ========================
3668 * Application support
3670 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3671 desktop entry specification
3673 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3674 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3675 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3677 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3678 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3679 to launch other applications
3681 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3682 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3686 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3687 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3688 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3689 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3690 any problems that this may have caused.
3692 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3693 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3694 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3695 (allowing memory savings)
3697 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3698 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3699 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3701 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3702 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3705 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3706 without destroying one of the objects involved
3710 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3711 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3712 with a finite number of cases
3714 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3715 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3717 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3718 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3719 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3720 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3723 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3727 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3728 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3729 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3731 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3733 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3734 and an API to check them
3736 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3737 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3739 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3740 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3744 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3745 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3746 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3749 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3750 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3751 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3753 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3758 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3759 allow for regexp matching on streams
3761 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3762 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3763 g_variant_new_printf()
3767 - we can now generate TAP output
3769 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3770 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3772 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3777 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3900 ==============================================
3902 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3903 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3904 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3905 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

3999 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
4001 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
4002 and will trigger a warning.

4048 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
4050 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
4052 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

4087 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
4088 ==============================================
4090 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4091 and a parser API for them is now provided
4093 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4094 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4095 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
4097 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library
4099 * GIcon can now be serialized to a GVariant

4187 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
4188 ==============================================
4190 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4191 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4192 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4193 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4247 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4248 ==============================================
4250 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4251 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4252 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4253 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4254 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4258 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4259 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4261 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4262 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property

4282 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4283 ==============================================
4285 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4287 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4288 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4290 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4291 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4293 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)

4419 * Translation updates:
4434 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4435 ==============================================
4437 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4438 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4439 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4440 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4441 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4443 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4444 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4445 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4446 particular, are incompatible.
4448 * Bugs fixed in this release:
4449 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
4450 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

4493 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4494 ==============================================
4496 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4497 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4498 causing regressions in applications.
4500 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4501 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4502 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4505 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4506 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4507 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4509 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4511 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4513 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4515 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4517 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4519 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4521 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4523 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4525 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4527 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4577 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
4578 ==============================================
4580 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4581 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4583 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4584 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4586 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4588 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

5424 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5425 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5426 to an overridden property
5427 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5428 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5430 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

5475 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5476 ==============================================
5478 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5479 moved to GtkApplication.
5481 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5482 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5483 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5484 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5486 * lots of documentation improvements
5488 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5490 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5491 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5493 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5495 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5497 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5499 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5500 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5503 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5504 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5508 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5509 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

5515 * Translations updated:
5519 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5520 ==============================================
5522 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5523 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5524 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5527 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5528 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5529 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5532 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5533 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5534 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5535 through an idle on the context.
5537 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5538 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5539 fixes here and there.
5541 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5542 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5543 API available outside GLib
5545 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5590 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5593 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5594 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

5609 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5610 =================================================
5612 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5613 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5615 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5616 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5617 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5618 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5619 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5620 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5621 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5622 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5623 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5624 required (and has been deprecated)
5625 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5626 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5627 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5628 without explicit initialisation.
5629 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5630 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5631 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5633 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5634 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5635 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5636 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5637 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5638 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5639 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5641 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5642 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5643 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5644 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5645 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5646 - other implementation details changed
5648 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5649 deprecated/ directory.
5651 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5652 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5653 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5655 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5656 platform over a year ago).
5658 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5659 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5661 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5662 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5664 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5665 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5666 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5667 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5670 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5671 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5674 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5676 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5677 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5679 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5680 in a multi-threaded program
5682 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5683 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5686 - drop -uninstalled variants
5687 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5689 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5690 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5691 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5693 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5695 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5696 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5699 - many code generation updates and improvements
5700 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5703 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5704 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5706 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5708 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5711 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5712 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5714 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5715 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5717 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5719 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5723 * Partial list of bugs closed:

6149 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6150 ==============================================
6152 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6153 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6154 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6155 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6156 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6157 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6159 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6160 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6162 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6164 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6166 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
6168 * Introspection improvements:
6169 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder

6217 * Updated translations:
6226 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6227 ==============================================
6230 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6231 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6232 an 'object manager' pattern:
6233 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6234 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6235 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6236 And server-side implementations:
6237 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6238 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6239 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6243 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6247 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6248 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6249 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6250 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6253 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6254 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6257 * Unix-specific APIs:
6258 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6259 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6260 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6261 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6262 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6263 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
6266 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

6274 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
6275 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
6276 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
6277 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
6278 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
6279 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
6280 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
6281 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
6282 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
6283 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
6284 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
6285 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6287 * Updated translations
6294 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6295 ==============================================
6298 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6299 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6300 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6303 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6304 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6305 situations has been improved
6308 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6309 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6312 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6313 match strcmp() semantics
6314 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6315 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6316 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6318 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6319 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6322 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6324 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6326 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6327 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6328 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6608 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6609 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6614 g_get_monotonic_time
6616 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6619 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6621 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
6623 g_simple_async_result_take_error
6624 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
6625 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
6627 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
6630 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
6631 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
6632 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
6634 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
6635 g_get_user_runtime_dir

6654 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
6655 ==============================================
6658 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6659 - Support environment passing
6662 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6663 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6665 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6666 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6667 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6671 158725 free linked list with data
6672 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

6681 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
6682 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
6684 * Translation updates:
6690 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6691 ==============================================
6693 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6694 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6696 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6697 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6699 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6701 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6703 g_settings_get_range
6704 g_settings_range_check
6705 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6707 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6708 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6710 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6711 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6713 g_main_context_invoke
6714 g_main_context_invoke_full
6716 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6717 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6718 looking for default applications.
6720 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6721 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6722 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6723 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6725 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6726 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6727 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
6730 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

6982 =====================================================
6984 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6985 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6986 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6988 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6989 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6990 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6991 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6994 There have been many other improvements, however:
6997 - vastly improved test coverage
6998 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6999 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7000 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

7049 =====================================================
7051 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7052 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7053 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7054 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7055 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7056 | required (and will be along soon). |
7057 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7060 - cleanup automake setup
7061 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7062 - various docs fixups
7063 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7080 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7081 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7082 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7085 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7117 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7118 =====================================================
7120 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7121 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7122 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7123 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7124 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7127 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7128 -Bsymbolic-functions
7129 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7130 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7131 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7132 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7133 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7136 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7137 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7138 nobody was doing that.
7139 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7141 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7142 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7144 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7145 have a serial number
7146 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7148 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7150 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7151 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7152 has finished running on GDBus services.
7153 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7154 this due to the obvious race)
7155 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7156 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7159 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7160 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7161 arguments and different behaviour
7162 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7163 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7164 strings instead of utf8 strings
7165 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7166 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7167 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7168 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7169 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7170 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7171 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7172 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7173 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7176 - improved documentation
7177 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7178 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7179 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7180 overridden using <override>.
7181 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7183 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7184 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7185 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7186 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7187 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7188 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7189 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7190 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7191 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7192 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7193 being set due to a premature free
7194 - command line tool: bash completion support
7195 - chain up in _finalize
7196 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7198 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7199 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7200 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7202 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7203 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7204 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7205 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7206 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7210 - always intern GBinding prop names
7211 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7212 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7213 - GNode docs improvements
7214 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7215 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7216 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7220 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7221 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7222 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7223 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7224 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7225 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7226 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7227 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7229 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7230 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7231 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7232 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7233 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7234 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7235 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

7347 | WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and |
7348 | GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In |
7349 | particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
7351 +----------------------------------------------------------------+
7354 - Use Gio's default async implementation
7355 - Fix proxy construction for objects with no properties

7920 ===================================================
7923 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7924 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7925 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7926 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7927 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7928 while loading or saving it.
7929 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7930 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7931 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7934 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7935 interfaces to dynamic types.
7938 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7939 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
7940 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10292 =================================================
10294 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10295 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10296 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10298 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10299 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10302 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10303 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10304 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10305 "stutter stepping".
10306 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10308 * Memory management:
10309 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

10312 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10313 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10314 never worked as intended.
10315 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10316 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10317 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10318 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10319 efficient and scalable implementation.
10320 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10322 * Pattern matching:
10323 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10324 unnecessary recursion.
10327 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10328 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10329 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10332 * g_thread_foreach:
10333 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10336 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10337 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10338 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10342 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10343 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10344 since they are in glib.h
