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

781 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)

784 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
786 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
787 third-party code should now be using

804 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
806 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything

809 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
811 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
812 of packaged libraries (!951)

945 characters (U+FF21–U+FF26 and U+FF41–U+FF46) (#58)
947 * Deprecate `gtester` utility and its test reporting format and enable TAP
948 output by default instead — the `--tap` option to tests is now a no-op

969 - `g_list_insert_before_link()`
970 - `g_queue_insert_before_link()`
971 - `g_queue_insert_after_link()`
973 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
974 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)
976 * Add `g_clear_signal_handler()` to allow disconnecting from a `GObject` signal

1356 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1357 ==================================
1359 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1360 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1361 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1362 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1364 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1365 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1367 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1369 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1371 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1373 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1374 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1375 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1376 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1378 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1379 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1381 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1382 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1383 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1385 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1387 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1388 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1391 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1392 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1394 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1395 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1396 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1398 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1399 portal backends. (!317)
1401 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1404 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1406 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1409 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1411 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1414 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1415 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1416 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1418 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1419 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1421 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1422 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1423 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1424 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1426 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1428 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1637 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1638 ==================================
1640 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1641 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1642 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1643 with Meson or autotools. See:
1644 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1646 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1648 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1649 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1651 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1653 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1655 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1656 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1657 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1658 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1661 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1662 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1663 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1664 !265 Network monitor again
1665 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1666 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1667 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1668 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1669 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1670 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1672 * Translation updates:
1682 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1683 ==================================
1685 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1686 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1687 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1688 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1690 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1692 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1694 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1696 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1698 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1699 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1701 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1703 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1704 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1705 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1708 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1710 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1713 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

2885 ==================================
2887 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
2888 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
2889 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
2890 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
2892 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
2893 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
2894 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
2896 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
2897 environment variable.
2899 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
2900 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3060 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
3061 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3062 is unavailable or undesired.
3064 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3065 glib-networking will also be required.
3067 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the

3115 * Translation updates:
3119 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3120 ==================================
3122 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3123 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3124 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3125 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3127 This release corrects only this problem.
3129 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3130 ==================================
3132 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3133 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3134 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3136 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3482 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3483 ==================================
3485 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3486 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3487 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3488 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3489 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3490 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3492 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3493 have seen major improvements.
3495 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3496 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3497 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3500 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3502 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3504 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3506 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3507 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3508 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3509 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3510 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3511 you use the --strict option.
3513 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3514 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3515 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3517 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3519 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3520 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3521 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3567 ===================================
3569 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3570 before the release of 2.44.0.
3572 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3574 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3575 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3576 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3577 default in the next cycle.
3579 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

3624 ===================================
3626 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3627 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3628 scope (working only on GCC and clang).

3631 effective busy state.

4172 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4173 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4174 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4429 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4430 ====================================================
4432 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4434 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4436 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4437 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4440 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4441 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4444 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4446 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4448 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4451 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4452 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4454 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4456 * Applications/Actions
4458 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4459 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4462 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4463 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4465 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4466 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4467 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4468 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4472 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4473 accesses that are performed in common situations
4475 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4476 are installed/removed
4478 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4479 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4481 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4482 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4487 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4489 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4490 that test programs don't pick them up
4492 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4494 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4495 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4496 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4497 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4499 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4500 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4502 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4503 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4504 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4508 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4510 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4512 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

4564 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4565 ====================================================
4567 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4571 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4573 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4574 them can restart the application with an action (via
4579 - new API for launching subprocesses
4581 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4583 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4585 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4586 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4588 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4590 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4592 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4593 actions and listing apps and actions
4595 - bash tab completion is supported
4597 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4599 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4600 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4602 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4603 DBusActivatable=true
4605 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4606 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4611 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4613 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4614 class and inotify backend
4616 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4617 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4619 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4624 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4625 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4626 when there are invalid schemas installed
4628 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4632 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4633 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4635 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4638 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4639 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4640 semantics of the interface in each case
4642 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4643 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4645 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4647 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4648 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4649 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4650 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4654 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4657 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4659 * Portability improvements
4661 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4663 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4664 actually support it (like Hurd)
4666 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4668 * Other small API changes/additions
4670 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4671 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4672 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4674 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4676 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4677 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4679 * GMainContext/GSource
4681 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4683 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4684 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4685 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4686 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4687 broken and should probably be fixed.
4689 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4690 require use of a linked list
4694 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4695 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4696 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4698 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4702 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4703 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4704 gphoto, archive, at least).
4706 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4708 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4711 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4712 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4713 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4715 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4717 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4719 * Many documentation improvements
4722 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4723 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4724 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

4771 Brazilian Portuguese
4777 What's new in Glib 2.38
4778 ========================
4780 * Application support
4782 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4783 desktop entry specification
4785 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4786 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4787 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4789 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4790 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4791 to launch other applications
4793 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4794 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4798 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4799 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4800 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4801 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4802 any problems that this may have caused.
4804 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4805 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4806 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4807 (allowing memory savings)
4809 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4810 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4811 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4813 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4814 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4817 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4818 without destroying one of the objects involved
4822 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4823 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4824 with a finite number of cases
4826 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4827 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4829 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4830 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4831 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4832 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4835 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4839 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4840 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4841 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4843 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4845 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4846 and an API to check them
4848 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4849 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4851 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4852 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4856 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4857 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4858 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4861 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4862 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4863 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4865 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4870 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4871 allow for regexp matching on streams
4873 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4874 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4875 g_variant_new_printf()
4879 - we can now generate TAP output
4881 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4882 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4884 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4889 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5011 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
5012 ==============================================
5014 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5015 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5016 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5017 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5019 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5020 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5023 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5025 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
5026 the key was locked down)
5028 * Miscellaneous new api:
5029 - g_variant_new_printf
5030 - g_action_print_detailed_name
5031 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind
5034 664444 Support additional application actions in .desktop files

5103 700350 - timestamp issue
5104 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
5105 700035 - new API for instance private data
5107 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
5108 ==============================================
5110 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5111 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5113 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5114 and will trigger a warning.
5117 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation
5119 - Set prgname to appid for services
5122 549783 gtester lacks framework for tests with data files
5123 692848 Fix property example in gobject tutorial
5124 698018 Add an explicit g_binding_release()
5125 698614 GObject: prevent installing properties after init
5126 699259 add org.freedesktop.Application support to GIO
5127 699959 g_file_copy(): Ensure we create private files by default
5128 700123 Test failure: g_inet_socket_address_get_scope_id
5129 700725 GIcon: NULLify the `type' out param in the sync methods too
5130 701401 gtest: add function for testing for WINE
5131 701456 Error in gnome/glib/gio/tests/file.c

5134 701680 GFileEnumerator: Add some documentation about ordering
5135 701878 Check wakeup() before iteration(TRUE) doesn't block
5151 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
5152 ==============================================
5154 * add support for installed tests:
5155 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
5157 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
5158 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5160 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5162 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5164 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
5165 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
5166 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
5168 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
5184 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
5185 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance

5197 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
5199 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
5200 ==============================================
5202 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5203 and a parser API for them is now provided
5205 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5206 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5207 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5267 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
5268 ==============================================
5270 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5272 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5273 the destination file
5275 - fix some 'available since' annotations
5277 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
5280 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

5283 * Translations updated:
5299 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5300 ==============================================
5302 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5303 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5304 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5305 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5359 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5360 ==============================================
5362 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5363 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5364 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5365 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5366 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5370 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5371 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5373 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

5394 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
5395 ==============================================
5397 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5399 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5400 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5402 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5403 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5405 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5418 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5419 ==============================================
5421 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5424 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5425 ready at a specified monotonic time
5427 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5429 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
5432 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
5433 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

5546 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5547 ==============================================
5549 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5550 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5551 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5552 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5553 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5555 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5556 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5557 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5558 particular, are incompatible.
5560 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5605 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5606 ==============================================
5608 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5609 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5610 causing regressions in applications.
5612 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5613 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5614 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5617 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5618 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5619 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5621 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5623 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5625 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5627 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5629 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5631 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5633 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5635 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5637 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5639 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6536 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6537 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6538 to an overridden property
6539 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6540 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6542 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

6588 ==============================================
6590 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6591 moved to GtkApplication.
6593 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6594 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6595 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6596 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6598 * lots of documentation improvements
6600 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6602 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6603 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6605 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6607 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6609 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6611 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6612 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6615 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6616 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

6627 * Translations updated:
6631 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6632 ==============================================
6634 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6635 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6636 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6639 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6640 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6641 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6644 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6645 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6646 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6647 through an idle on the context.
6649 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6650 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6651 fixes here and there.
6653 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6654 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6655 API available outside GLib
6657 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6699 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6700 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6702 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

6721 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6722 =================================================
6724 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6725 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6727 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6728 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6729 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6730 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6731 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6732 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6733 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6734 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6735 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6736 required (and has been deprecated)
6737 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6738 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6739 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6740 without explicit initialisation.
6741 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6742 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6743 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6745 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6746 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6747 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6748 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6749 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6750 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6751 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6753 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6754 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6755 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6756 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6757 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6758 - other implementation details changed
6760 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6761 deprecated/ directory.
6763 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6764 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6765 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6767 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6768 platform over a year ago).
6770 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6771 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6773 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6774 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6776 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6777 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6778 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6779 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6782 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6783 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6786 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6788 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6789 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6791 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6792 in a multi-threaded program
6794 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6795 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6798 - drop -uninstalled variants
6799 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6801 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6802 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6803 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6805 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6807 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6808 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6811 - many code generation updates and improvements
6812 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6815 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6816 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6818 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6820 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6823 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6824 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6826 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6827 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6829 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6831 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
6835 * Partial list of bugs closed:
6836 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7262 ==============================================
7264 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7265 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7266 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7267 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7268 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7269 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7271 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7272 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7274 * Access to quarks is now lockless

7338 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7339 ==============================================
7342 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7343 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7344 an 'object manager' pattern:
7345 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7346 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7347 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7348 And server-side implementations:
7349 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7350 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7351 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7355 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7359 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7360 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7361 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7362 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7365 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7366 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7369 * Unix-specific APIs:
7370 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7371 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7372 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7373 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7374 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7375 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7399 * Updated translations
7406 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7407 ==============================================
7410 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7411 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7412 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7415 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7416 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7417 situations has been improved
7420 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7421 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7424 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7425 match strcmp() semantics
7426 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7427 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7428 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7430 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7431 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7434 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7436 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7438 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7439 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7440 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7771 - Support environment passing
7774 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7775 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7777 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7778 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7779 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

7796 * Translation updates:
7802 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7803 ==============================================
7805 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7806 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7808 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7809 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7811 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7813 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7815 g_settings_get_range
7816 g_settings_range_check
7817 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7819 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7820 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7822 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7823 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7825 g_main_context_invoke
7826 g_main_context_invoke_full
7828 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7829 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7830 looking for default applications.
7832 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7833 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7834 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7835 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7837 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7838 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7839 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8097 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8098 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8100 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8101 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8102 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8103 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8106 There have been many other improvements, however:
8109 - vastly improved test coverage
8110 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8111 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

8160 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
8161 =====================================================
8163 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8164 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8165 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8166 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8167 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8168 | required (and will be along soon). |
8169 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8172 - cleanup automake setup
8173 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8174 - various docs fixups
8175 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
8176 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
8179 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
8181 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
8182 - add g_settings_reset()
8183 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
8186 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
8187 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
8188 - proper support for file descriptor passing
8189 - new flags parameter for sending messages
8190 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
8191 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
8192 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8193 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8194 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8197 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8200 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
8201 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
8202 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
8205 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
8206 617483 Credentials passing
8207 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

8229 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
8230 =====================================================
8232 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8233 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8234 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8235 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8236 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8239 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8240 -Bsymbolic-functions
8241 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8242 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8243 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8244 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8245 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8248 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8249 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8250 nobody was doing that.
8251 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8253 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8254 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8256 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8257 have a serial number
8258 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8260 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8262 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8263 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8264 has finished running on GDBus services.
8265 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8266 this due to the obvious race)
8267 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8268 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8271 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8272 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8273 arguments and different behaviour
8274 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8275 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8276 strings instead of utf8 strings
8277 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8278 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8279 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8280 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8281 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8282 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8283 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8284 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8285 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8288 - improved documentation
8289 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8290 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8291 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8292 overridden using <override>.
8293 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8295 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8296 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8297 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8298 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8299 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8300 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8301 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8302 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8303 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8304 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8305 being set due to a premature free
8306 - command line tool: bash completion support
8307 - chain up in _finalize
8308 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8310 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8311 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8312 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8314 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8315 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8316 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8317 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8318 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8322 - always intern GBinding prop names
8323 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8324 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8325 - GNode docs improvements
8326 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8327 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8328 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8332 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8333 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8334 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8335 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8336 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8337 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8338 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8339 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8341 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8342 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8343 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8344 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8345 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8346 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8347 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
8348 610784 array test failing
8349 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8350 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

8366 623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
8367 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
8368 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty

9039 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9040 while loading or saving it.
9041 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9042 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9043 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9046 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9047 interfaces to dynamic types.

9774 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

9777 also uses less memory overall.

9782 that a GError is set or unset
9784 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
9786 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
9787 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
9789 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

11404 =================================================
11406 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11407 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11408 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11410 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11411 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11414 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11415 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11416 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11417 "stutter stepping".
11418 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11420 * Memory management:
11421 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11422 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10

11424 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11425 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11426 never worked as intended.
11427 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11428 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11429 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11430 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11431 efficient and scalable implementation.
11432 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11434 * Pattern matching:
11435 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11436 unnecessary recursion.
11439 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11440 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11441 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11444 * g_thread_foreach:
11445 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11448 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11449 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11450 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11454 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11455 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
