1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.1
2 ==================================
4 * Fix to a regression in listing GIcon fallbacks (#1513)
6 * Changes to pkg-config paths to helper programs when building with autotools:
7 paths are now absolute with reference to the .pc file’s ${prefix} (#1521)
9 * Fix installation path of glib-gettextize helper on Meson (!290)
11 * Fix autostarting xdg-desktop-portal (!321, a backport of !317)
13 * Various fixes to the network monitor (#1518, !294)
15 * Various compilation fixes on macOS (generally older versions and older
19 !318 codegen: Change pointer casting to remove type-punning warnings
20 #1513 GIcon regression?
21 #1521 pkg-config files differ between Autotools and Meson build
22 !321 Backport “Autostart xdg-desktop-portal if needed” to glib-2-58
23 #1518 /network-monitor/create-in-thread fails in (LXC) containers on glib-2-56
24 #1509 test_timeval_to_iso8601_overflow: 'out' should be NULL
25 !288 Backport `command -v` vs `which` changes to glib-2-58
26 !298 GLib 2.58 backports of various small patches
28 !294 portal network monitor: Always emit changed signal on changed
29 !290 build: fix installation dir of glib-gettextize
30 #1488 ‘O_CLOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
31 #1506 error: redefinition of typedef 'GKqueueFileMonitor'
33 * Translation updates:
43 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
44 ==================================
46 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
47 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
48 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
49 with Meson or autotools. See:
50 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
52 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
54 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
55 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
57 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
59 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
61 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
62 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
63 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
64 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
67 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
68 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
69 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
70 !265 Network monitor again
71 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
72 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
73 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
74 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
75 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
76 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
78 * Translation updates:
88 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
89 ==================================
91 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
92 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
93 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
94 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
96 * Many minor documentation fixes.
98 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
100 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
102 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
104 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
105 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
107 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
109 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
110 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
111 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
114 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
116 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
119 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
120 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
121 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
122 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
123 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback
124 #972 Mismatch between gint64 and int64_t on 64-bit macOS/BSD
125 !251 gtestdbus: Fix watcher crash on FreeBSD
126 #1492 gcc-8: -Wcast-function-type: new warnings for g_list_copy_deep()
127 !252 tests: fix gnotification tests broken due to the recent icon name fallback changes
128 #328 filesystem::{free,size,used} not set for full FAT fs
129 !248 network monitor portal: update properties initially
130 #1373 Incorrect transfer annotation for g_binding_unbind.
131 #1444 the meson build doesn't support installed tests
132 #1027 Fix trashing on overlayfs
133 #1454 gvdb does not treat corrupt files as empty as promised; dconf suffers
134 !243 tests: Explicitly set TZ=UTC for g_time_val_from_iso8601() testing
135 #1488 ‘O_CLOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
136 !241 glib-mkenums: forbid @filename@/@basename@ in fhead and ftail
137 !240 gtimer: Ensure arithmetic is correctly signed for ISO 8601 parsing
138 #1452 GFileInfo: unable to retrieve correct modification time of links and mounted volumes on Windows
139 !234 DOC: Documentation fix in GTask description
140 #1363 Meson: Review cross compilation properties
141 !225 gtimer: Add overflow checks to g_time_val_from_iso8601()
142 !230 gbookmarkfile: Fix some more minor leaks when metadata elements are repeated
143 !229 Fix up g_bytes_compare() documentation
144 #1476 g_stat - possbile memory corruption causing SEGFAULT
145 !199 Update TLS documentation
146 #1474 g_test_incomplete() makes test_case_run() return FALSE
147 #1475 glib/tests/atomic.c test_types() trips -Werror=bad-function-cast on Debian armel
148 #1472 Test for BROKEN_IP_MREQ_SOURCE_STRUCT is broken on Windows / Mingw
149 !220 date test: Use g_test_skip(), not g_test_incomplete()
150 #1467 malloc difference causes refstring test to fail on FreeBSD
151 !230 gbookmarkfile: Fix some more minor leaks when metadata elements are repeated
152 #1466 Not Able to Build glib 2.57.2 in Mingw-w64 x64 bits

1291 ==================================
1293 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1294 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1295 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1296 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1298 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1299 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1300 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1302 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1303 environment variable.
1305 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1306 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1468 is unavailable or undesired.
1470 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

1525 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1526 ==================================
1528 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1529 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1530 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1531 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1533 This release corrects only this problem.
1535 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1536 ==================================
1538 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1539 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1540 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1542 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1888 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1889 ==================================
1891 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1892 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1893 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1894 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1895 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1896 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1898 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1899 have seen major improvements.
1901 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1902 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1903 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1906 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1908 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1910 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1912 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1913 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1914 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1915 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1916 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1917 you use the --strict option.
1919 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1920 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1921 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1923 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1925 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1926 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1927 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1973 ===================================
1975 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1976 before the release of 2.44.0.
1978 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1980 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1981 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1982 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1983 default in the next cycle.
1985 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

2579 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2580 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2828 * Translations updates:
2835 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2836 ====================================================
2838 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2840 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2842 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2843 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2846 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2847 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2850 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2852 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2854 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2857 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2858 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2860 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2862 * Applications/Actions
2864 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2865 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2868 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2869 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2871 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2872 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2873 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2874 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2878 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2879 accesses that are performed in common situations
2881 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2882 are installed/removed
2884 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2885 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2887 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2888 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2893 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2895 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2896 that test programs don't pick them up
2898 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2900 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2901 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2902 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2903 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2905 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2906 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2908 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2909 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2910 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2914 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2916 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2918 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2920 Translations updated:

2938 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2939 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2940 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2970 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2971 ====================================================
2973 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2977 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2979 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2980 them can restart the application with an action (via
2985 - new API for launching subprocesses
2987 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2989 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2991 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2992 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2994 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2996 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2998 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2999 actions and listing apps and actions
3001 - bash tab completion is supported
3003 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3005 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3006 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3008 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3009 DBusActivatable=true
3011 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3012 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3017 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3019 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3020 class and inotify backend
3022 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3023 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3025 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3030 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3031 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3032 when there are invalid schemas installed
3034 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3038 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3039 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3041 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3044 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3045 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3046 semantics of the interface in each case
3048 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3049 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3051 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3053 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3054 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3055 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3056 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3060 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3063 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3065 * Portability improvements
3067 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3069 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3070 actually support it (like Hurd)
3072 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3074 * Other small API changes/additions
3076 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3077 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3078 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3080 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3082 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3083 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3085 * GMainContext/GSource
3087 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3089 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3090 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3091 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3092 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3093 broken and should probably be fixed.
3095 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3096 require use of a linked list
3100 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3101 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3102 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3104 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3108 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3109 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3110 gphoto, archive, at least).
3112 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3114 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3117 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3118 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3119 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3121 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3123 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3125 * Many documentation improvements
3128 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3129 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3130 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3183 What's new in Glib 2.38
3184 ========================
3186 * Application support
3188 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3189 desktop entry specification
3191 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3192 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3193 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3195 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3196 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3197 to launch other applications
3199 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3200 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3204 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3205 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3206 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3207 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3208 any problems that this may have caused.
3210 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3211 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3212 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3213 (allowing memory savings)
3215 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3216 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3217 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3219 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3220 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3223 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3224 without destroying one of the objects involved
3228 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3229 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3230 with a finite number of cases
3232 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3233 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3235 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3236 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3237 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3238 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3241 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3245 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3246 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3247 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3249 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3251 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3252 and an API to check them
3254 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3255 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3257 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3258 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3262 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3263 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3264 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3267 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3268 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3269 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3271 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3276 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3277 allow for regexp matching on streams
3279 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3280 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3281 g_variant_new_printf()
3285 - we can now generate TAP output
3287 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3288 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3290 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3295 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3418 ==============================================
3420 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3421 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3422 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3423 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3425 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3426 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3429 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3431 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3432 the key was locked down)
3434 * Miscellaneous new api:
3435 - g_variant_new_printf
3436 - g_action_print_detailed_name
3437 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind

3494 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
3495 build the unmodified source
3497 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
3499 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
3500 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
3501 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
3508 698375 - D-Bus async properties

3514 ==============================================
3516 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3517 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3519 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3520 and will trigger a warning.
3523 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

3558 ==============================================
3560 * add support for installed tests:
3561 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
3563 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
3564 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3566 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3568 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3570 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3571 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3572 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3574 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

3606 ==============================================
3608 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3609 and a parser API for them is now provided
3611 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3612 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3613 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3673 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3674 ==============================================
3676 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3678 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3679 the destination file
3681 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3683 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
3686 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

3689 * Translations updated:
3705 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3706 ==============================================
3708 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3709 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3710 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3711 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3765 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3766 ==============================================
3768 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3769 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3770 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3771 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3772 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3776 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3777 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3779 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3780 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3781 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3782 * documentation fixes
3783 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3786 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3800 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3801 ==============================================
3803 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3805 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3806 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3808 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3809 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3811 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3824 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3825 ==============================================
3827 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3830 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3831 ready at a specified monotonic time
3833 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3835 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3838 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3839 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3937 * Translation updates:
3952 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3953 ==============================================
3955 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3956 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3957 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3958 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3959 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3961 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3962 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3963 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3964 particular, are incompatible.
3966 * Bugs fixed in this release:
3967 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

4011 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4012 ==============================================
4014 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4015 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4016 causing regressions in applications.
4018 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4019 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4020 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4023 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4024 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4025 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4027 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4029 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4031 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4033 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4035 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4037 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4039 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4041 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4043 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4045 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4096 ==============================================
4098 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4099 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4101 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4102 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4104 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4106 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
4108 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
4110 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
4112 * GLib version macros updated
4114 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4942 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4943 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4944 to an overridden property
4945 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4946 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4948 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4949 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4993 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4994 ==============================================
4996 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4997 moved to GtkApplication.
4999 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5000 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5001 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5002 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5004 * lots of documentation improvements
5006 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5008 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5009 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5011 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5013 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5015 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5017 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5018 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5021 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5022 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
5023 664699 glib: documentation fixes

5026 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5027 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
5028 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
5029 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
5030 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
5031 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
5033 * Translations updated:
5037 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5038 ==============================================
5040 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5041 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5042 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5045 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5046 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5047 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5050 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5051 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5052 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5053 through an idle on the context.
5055 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5056 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5057 fixes here and there.
5059 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5060 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5061 API available outside GLib
5063 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5105 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5106 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5108 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

5127 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5128 =================================================
5130 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5131 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5133 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5134 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5135 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5136 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5137 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5138 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5139 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5140 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5141 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5142 required (and has been deprecated)
5143 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5144 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5145 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5146 without explicit initialisation.
5147 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5148 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5149 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5151 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5152 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5153 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5154 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5155 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5156 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5157 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5159 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5160 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5161 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5162 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5163 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5164 - other implementation details changed
5166 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5167 deprecated/ directory.
5169 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5170 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5171 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5173 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5174 platform over a year ago).
5176 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5177 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5179 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5180 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5182 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5183 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5184 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5185 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5188 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5189 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5192 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris

5195 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5197 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5198 in a multi-threaded program
5200 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5201 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5204 - drop -uninstalled variants
5205 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5207 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5208 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5209 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5211 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5213 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5214 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.

5229 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5230 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5232 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5233 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5235 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5237 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes

5667 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5668 ==============================================
5670 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5671 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5672 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5673 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5674 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5675 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5677 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5678 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5680 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5682 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5684 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5744 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5745 ==============================================
5748 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5749 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5750 an 'object manager' pattern:
5751 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5752 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5753 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5754 And server-side implementations:
5755 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5756 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5757 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5761 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5765 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5766 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5767 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5768 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5771 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5772 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5775 * Unix-specific APIs:
5776 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5777 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5778 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5779 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5780 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5781 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5805 * Updated translations
5812 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5813 ==============================================
5816 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5817 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5818 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5821 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5822 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5823 situations has been improved
5826 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5827 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5830 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5831 match strcmp() semantics
5832 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5833 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5834 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5836 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5837 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5840 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5842 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5844 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5845 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5846 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6124 ==============================================
6126 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6127 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6132 g_get_monotonic_time
6134 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6137 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6139 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
6141 g_simple_async_result_take_error
6142 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
6143 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
6145 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
6148 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
6149 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
6150 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
6152 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
6153 g_get_user_runtime_dir

6176 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6177 - Support environment passing
6180 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6181 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6183 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6184 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6185 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6189 158725 free linked list with data
6190 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

6199 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
6200 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
6202 * Translation updates:
6208 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6209 ==============================================
6211 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6212 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6214 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6215 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6217 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6219 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6221 g_settings_get_range
6222 g_settings_range_check
6223 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6225 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6226 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6228 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6229 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6231 g_main_context_invoke
6232 g_main_context_invoke_full
6234 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6235 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6236 looking for default applications.
6238 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6239 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6240 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6241 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6243 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6244 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6245 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6500 =====================================================
6502 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6503 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6504 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6506 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6507 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6508 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6509 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6512 There have been many other improvements, however:
6515 - vastly improved test coverage
6516 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6517 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6518 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6521 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

6566 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
6567 =====================================================
6569 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6570 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6571 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6572 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6573 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6574 | required (and will be along soon). |
6575 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6578 - cleanup automake setup
6579 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6580 - various docs fixups
6581 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6587 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
6588 - add g_settings_reset()
6589 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
6592 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

6596 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
6597 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
6598 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6599 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6600 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6603 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6606 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
6607 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
6608 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
6611 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

6635 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6636 =====================================================
6638 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6639 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6640 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6641 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6642 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6645 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6646 -Bsymbolic-functions
6647 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6648 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6649 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6650 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6651 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6654 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6655 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6656 nobody was doing that.
6657 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6659 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6660 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6662 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6663 have a serial number
6664 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6666 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6668 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6669 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6670 has finished running on GDBus services.
6671 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6672 this due to the obvious race)
6673 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6674 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6677 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6678 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6679 arguments and different behaviour
6680 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6681 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6682 strings instead of utf8 strings
6683 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6684 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6685 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6686 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6687 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6688 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6689 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6690 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6691 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6694 - improved documentation
6695 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6696 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6697 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6698 overridden using <override>.
6699 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6701 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6702 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6703 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6704 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6705 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6706 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6707 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6708 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6709 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6710 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6711 being set due to a premature free
6712 - command line tool: bash completion support
6713 - chain up in _finalize
6714 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6716 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6717 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6718 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6720 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6721 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6722 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6723 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6724 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6728 - always intern GBinding prop names
6729 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6730 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6731 - GNode docs improvements
6732 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6733 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6734 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6738 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6739 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6740 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6741 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6742 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6743 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6744 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6745 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6747 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6748 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6749 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6750 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6751 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6752 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6753 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6754 610784 array test failing

6756 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
6757 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
6758 622124 implement flags

7448 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7449 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7452 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7453 interfaces to dynamic types.

8180 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

8183 also uses less memory overall.

8192 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8193 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8195 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
