949 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
950 ==================================
952 * Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
954 - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
955 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
956 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
957 - `g_array_binary_search()`
959 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
961 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
962 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
963 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
965 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
966 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
968 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
969 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
971 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
972 third-party code should now be using
973 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
975 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
977 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
979 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
982 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
984 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
985 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
987 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
989 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
991 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
992 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
994 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
996 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
997 of packaged libraries (!951)
999 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1158 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
1159 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

1470 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
1471 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1472 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1473 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

1541 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1542 ==================================
1544 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1545 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1546 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1547 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1549 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1550 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1552 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1554 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1556 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1558 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1559 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1560 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1561 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1563 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1564 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1566 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1567 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1568 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1570 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1572 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1573 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1576 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1577 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1579 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1580 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1581 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1583 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1584 portal backends. (!317)
1586 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1589 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1591 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1594 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1596 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1599 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1600 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1601 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1603 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1604 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1606 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1607 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1608 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1609 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1611 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1613 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1822 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1823 ==================================
1825 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1826 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1827 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1828 with Meson or autotools. See:
1829 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1831 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1833 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1834 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1836 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1838 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1840 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1841 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1842 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1843 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1846 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1847 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1848 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1849 !265 Network monitor again
1850 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1851 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1852 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1853 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1854 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1855 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1857 * Translation updates:
1867 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1868 ==================================
1870 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1871 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1872 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1873 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1875 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1877 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1879 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1881 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1883 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1884 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1886 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1888 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1889 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1890 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1893 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1895 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1898 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1899 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

3070 ==================================
3072 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3073 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3074 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3075 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
3077 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
3078 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3079 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3081 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3082 environment variable.
3084 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3085 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3247 is unavailable or undesired.
3249 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

3304 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3305 ==================================
3307 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3308 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3309 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3310 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3312 This release corrects only this problem.
3314 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3315 ==================================
3317 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3318 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3319 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3321 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3667 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3668 ==================================
3670 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3671 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3672 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3673 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3674 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3675 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3677 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3678 have seen major improvements.
3680 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3681 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3682 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3685 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3687 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3689 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3691 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3692 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3693 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3694 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3695 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3696 you use the --strict option.
3698 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3699 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3700 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3702 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3704 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3705 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3706 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3752 ===================================
3754 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3755 before the release of 2.44.0.
3757 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3759 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3760 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3761 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3762 default in the next cycle.
3764 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

4354 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning

4356 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4357 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4358 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4359 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4614 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4615 ====================================================
4617 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4619 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4621 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4622 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4625 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4626 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4629 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4631 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4633 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4636 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4637 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4639 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4641 * Applications/Actions
4643 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4644 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4647 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4648 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4650 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4651 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4652 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4653 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4657 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4658 accesses that are performed in common situations
4660 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4661 are installed/removed
4663 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4664 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4666 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4667 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4672 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4674 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4675 that test programs don't pick them up
4677 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4679 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4680 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4681 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4682 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4684 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4685 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4687 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4688 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4689 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4693 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4695 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4697 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4699 Translations updated:
4707 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

4717 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
4718 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
4719 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

4749 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4750 ====================================================
4752 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4756 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4758 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4759 them can restart the application with an action (via
4764 - new API for launching subprocesses
4766 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4768 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4770 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4771 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4773 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4775 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4777 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4778 actions and listing apps and actions
4780 - bash tab completion is supported
4782 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4784 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4785 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4787 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4788 DBusActivatable=true
4790 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4791 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4796 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4798 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4799 class and inotify backend
4801 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4802 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4804 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4809 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4810 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4811 when there are invalid schemas installed
4813 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4817 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4818 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4820 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4823 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4824 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4825 semantics of the interface in each case
4827 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4828 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4830 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4832 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4833 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4834 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4835 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4839 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4842 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4844 * Portability improvements
4846 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4848 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4849 actually support it (like Hurd)
4851 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4853 * Other small API changes/additions
4855 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4856 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4857 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4859 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4861 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4862 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4864 * GMainContext/GSource
4866 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4868 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4869 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4870 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4871 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4872 broken and should probably be fixed.
4874 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4875 require use of a linked list
4879 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4880 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4881 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4883 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4887 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4888 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4889 gphoto, archive, at least).
4891 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4893 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4896 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4897 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4898 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4900 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4902 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4904 * Many documentation improvements
4907 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4908 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4909 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

4962 What's new in Glib 2.38
4963 ========================
4965 * Application support
4967 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4968 desktop entry specification
4970 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4971 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4972 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4974 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4975 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4976 to launch other applications
4978 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4979 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4983 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4984 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4985 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4986 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4987 any problems that this may have caused.
4989 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4990 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4991 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4992 (allowing memory savings)
4994 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4995 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4996 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4998 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4999 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5002 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5003 without destroying one of the objects involved
5007 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5008 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5009 with a finite number of cases
5011 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5012 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5014 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5015 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5016 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5017 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5020 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5024 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5025 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5026 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5028 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5030 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5031 and an API to check them
5033 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5034 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5036 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5037 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5041 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5042 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5043 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5046 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5047 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5048 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5050 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5055 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5056 allow for regexp matching on streams
5058 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5059 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5060 g_variant_new_printf()
5064 - we can now generate TAP output
5066 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5067 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5069 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5074 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5199 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5200 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5201 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5202 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

5279 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
5280 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
5287 698375 - D-Bus async properties

5289 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
5290 700035 - new API for instance private data
5292 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
5293 ==============================================
5295 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5296 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5298 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5299 and will trigger a warning.

5343 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5345 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5347 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5349 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
5350 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
5351 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.

5384 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
5385 ==============================================
5387 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5388 and a parser API for them is now provided
5390 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5391 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5392 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5484 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5485 ==============================================
5487 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5488 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5489 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5490 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5544 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5545 ==============================================
5547 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5548 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5549 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5550 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5551 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5555 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5556 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5558 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

5579 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
5580 ==============================================
5582 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5584 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5585 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5587 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5588 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5590 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)

5716 * Translation updates:
5731 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5732 ==============================================
5734 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5735 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5736 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5737 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5738 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5740 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5741 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5742 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5743 particular, are incompatible.
5745 * Bugs fixed in this release:
5746 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
5747 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

5790 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5791 ==============================================
5793 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5794 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5795 causing regressions in applications.
5797 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5798 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5799 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5802 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5803 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5804 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5806 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5808 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5810 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5812 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5814 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5816 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5818 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5820 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5822 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5824 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5874 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
5875 ==============================================
5877 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5878 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5880 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5881 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5883 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5885 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

6721 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6722 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6723 to an overridden property
6724 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6725 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

6772 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6773 ==============================================
6775 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6776 moved to GtkApplication.
6778 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6779 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6780 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6781 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6783 * lots of documentation improvements
6785 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6787 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6788 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6790 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6792 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6794 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6796 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6797 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6800 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6801 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

6816 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6817 ==============================================
6819 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6820 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6821 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6824 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6825 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6826 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6829 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6830 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6831 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6832 through an idle on the context.
6834 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6835 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6836 fixes here and there.
6838 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6839 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6840 API available outside GLib
6842 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6906 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6907 =================================================
6909 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6910 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6912 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6913 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6914 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6915 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6916 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6917 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6918 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6919 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6920 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6921 required (and has been deprecated)
6922 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6923 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6924 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6925 without explicit initialisation.
6926 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6927 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6928 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6930 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6931 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6932 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6933 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6934 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6935 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6936 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6938 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6939 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6940 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6941 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6942 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6943 - other implementation details changed
6945 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6946 deprecated/ directory.
6948 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6949 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6950 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6952 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6953 platform over a year ago).
6955 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6956 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6958 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6959 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6961 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6962 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6963 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6964 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6967 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6968 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6971 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6973 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6974 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6976 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6977 in a multi-threaded program
6979 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6980 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6983 - drop -uninstalled variants
6984 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6986 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6987 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6988 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6990 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6992 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6993 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6996 - many code generation updates and improvements
6997 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7000 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7001 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7003 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7005 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7008 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7009 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7011 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7012 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7014 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7016 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes

7446 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
7447 ==============================================
7449 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7450 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7451 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7452 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7453 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7454 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7456 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7457 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7459 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7461 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7463 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

7523 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7524 ==============================================
7527 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7528 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7529 an 'object manager' pattern:
7530 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7531 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7532 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7533 And server-side implementations:
7534 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7535 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7536 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7540 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7544 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7545 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7546 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7547 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7550 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7551 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7554 * Unix-specific APIs:
7555 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7556 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7557 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7558 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7559 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7560 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7575 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
7576 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
7577 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
7578 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
7579 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
7580 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
7581 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
7582 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
7584 * Updated translations
7591 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7592 ==============================================
7595 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7596 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7597 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7600 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7601 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7602 situations has been improved
7605 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7606 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7609 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7610 match strcmp() semantics
7611 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7612 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7613 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7615 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7616 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7619 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7621 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7623 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7624 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7625 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7905 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
7906 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
7911 g_get_monotonic_time
7913 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
7916 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
7918 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
7920 g_simple_async_result_take_error
7921 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
7922 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
7924 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
7927 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
7928 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
7929 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
7931 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
7932 g_get_user_runtime_dir

7951 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
7952 ==============================================
7955 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
7956 - Support environment passing
7959 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7960 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7962 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7963 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7964 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
7968 158725 free linked list with data

7978 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
7979 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
7981 * Translation updates:
7987 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7988 ==============================================
7990 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7991 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7993 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7994 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7996 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7998 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8000 g_settings_get_range
8001 g_settings_range_check
8002 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8004 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8005 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8007 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8008 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8010 g_main_context_invoke
8011 g_main_context_invoke_full
8013 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8014 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8015 looking for default applications.
8017 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8018 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8019 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8020 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8022 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8023 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8024 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8281 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8282 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8283 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8285 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8286 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8287 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8288 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8291 There have been many other improvements, however:
8294 - vastly improved test coverage
8295 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8296 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8297 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8346 =====================================================
8348 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8349 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8350 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8351 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8352 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8353 | required (and will be along soon). |
8354 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8357 - cleanup automake setup
8358 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8359 - various docs fixups
8360 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8366 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
8367 - add g_settings_reset()
8368 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
8371 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
8372 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
8373 - proper support for file descriptor passing
8374 - new flags parameter for sending messages
8375 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
8376 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
8377 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8378 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8379 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8382 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8385 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
8386 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
8387 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
8390 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
8391 617483 Credentials passing

8414 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
8415 =====================================================
8417 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8418 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8419 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8420 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8421 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8424 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8425 -Bsymbolic-functions
8426 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8427 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8428 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8429 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8430 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8433 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8434 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8435 nobody was doing that.
8436 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8438 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8439 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8441 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8442 have a serial number
8443 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8445 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8447 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8448 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8449 has finished running on GDBus services.
8450 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8451 this due to the obvious race)
8452 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8453 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8456 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8457 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8458 arguments and different behaviour
8459 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8460 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8461 strings instead of utf8 strings
8462 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8463 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8464 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8465 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8466 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8467 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8468 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8469 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8470 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8473 - improved documentation
8474 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8475 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8476 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8477 overridden using <override>.
8478 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8480 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8481 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8482 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8483 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8484 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8485 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8486 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8487 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8488 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8489 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8490 being set due to a premature free
8491 - command line tool: bash completion support
8492 - chain up in _finalize
8493 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8495 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8496 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8497 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8499 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8500 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8501 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8502 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8503 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8507 - always intern GBinding prop names
8508 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8509 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8510 - GNode docs improvements
8511 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8512 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8513 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8517 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8518 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8519 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8520 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8521 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8522 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8523 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8524 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8526 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8527 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8528 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8529 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8530 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8531 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8532 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
8533 610784 array test failing

9217 ===================================================
9220 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9221 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9222 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9223 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9224 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9225 while loading or saving it.
9226 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9227 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9228 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9231 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9232 interfaces to dynamic types.

11555 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11556 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11557 variants [Martyn Russell]

11589 =================================================
11591 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11592 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11593 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11595 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11596 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11599 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11600 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11601 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11602 "stutter stepping".
11603 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11605 * Memory management:
11606 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11607 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11608 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11609 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11610 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11611 never worked as intended.
11612 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11613 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11614 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11615 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11616 efficient and scalable implementation.
11617 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11619 * Pattern matching:
11620 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11621 unnecessary recursion.
11624 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11625 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11626 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11629 * g_thread_foreach:
11630 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11633 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11634 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11635 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11639 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11640 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11641 since they are in glib.h
