1070 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1071 rather than silently leaking. (#787)

1074 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1076 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1077 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)

1097 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1099 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1100 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1102 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1104 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1105 of packaged libraries (!951)
1107 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1579 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1580 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1581 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

1644 * Translation updates:
1649 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1650 ==================================
1652 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1653 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1654 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1655 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1657 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1658 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1660 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1662 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1664 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1666 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1667 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1668 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1669 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1671 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1672 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1674 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1675 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1676 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1678 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1680 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1681 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1684 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1685 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1687 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1688 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1689 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1691 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1692 portal backends. (!317)
1694 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1697 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1699 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1702 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1704 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1707 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1708 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1709 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1711 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1712 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1714 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1715 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1716 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1717 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1719 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1721 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1930 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1931 ==================================
1933 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1934 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1935 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1936 with Meson or autotools. See:
1937 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1939 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1941 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1942 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1944 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1946 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1948 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1949 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1950 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1951 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1954 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1955 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1956 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1957 !265 Network monitor again
1958 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1959 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1960 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1961 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1962 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1963 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1965 * Translation updates:
1975 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1976 ==================================
1978 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1979 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1980 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1981 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1983 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1985 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1987 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1989 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1991 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1992 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1994 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1996 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1997 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1998 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2001 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2003 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2006 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

3350 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
3351 ==================================
3353 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
3354 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3355 is unavailable or undesired.
3357 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3358 glib-networking will also be required.
3360 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
3361 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag
3363 * several GApplication fixes, including fixes for commandline arguments
3364 in interpreted languages on Windows

3412 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3413 ==================================
3415 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3416 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3417 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3418 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3420 This release corrects only this problem.
3422 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3423 ==================================
3425 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3426 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3427 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3429 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3775 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3776 ==================================
3778 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3779 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3780 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3781 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3782 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3783 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3785 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3786 have seen major improvements.
3788 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3789 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3790 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3793 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3795 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3797 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3799 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3800 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3801 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3802 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3803 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3804 you use the --strict option.
3806 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3807 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3808 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3810 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3812 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3813 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3814 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3859 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3860 ===================================
3862 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3863 before the release of 2.44.0.
3865 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3867 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3868 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3869 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3870 default in the next cycle.
3872 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3874 * new GTask:completed property
3876 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3877 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
3880 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
3881 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
3882 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

3891 Translations updated:
3916 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
3917 ===================================
3919 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3920 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3921 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3923 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3924 effective busy state.
3926 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

3949 GInputStream and GOutputStream
3951 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
3952 of a boolean property on another object
3954 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
3957 739724 Test functions should have async scope
3958 741024 glist: Mention that g_list_length() is bad for checking list emptiness

3973 ==================================
3975 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
3976 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
3977 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
3979 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
3980 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
3982 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

4431 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4432 =====================================================
4434 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4436 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
4440 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
4441 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

4447 726046 Recent commit created symbolic icons issues
4459 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4460 =====================================================
4462 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4463 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4464 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4465 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4466 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4467 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4469 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
4472 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken

4722 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4723 ====================================================
4725 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4727 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4729 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4730 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4733 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4734 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4737 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4739 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4741 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4744 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4745 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4747 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4749 * Applications/Actions
4751 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4752 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4755 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4756 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4758 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4759 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4760 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4761 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4765 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4766 accesses that are performed in common situations
4768 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4769 are installed/removed
4771 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4772 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4774 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4775 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4780 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4782 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4783 that test programs don't pick them up
4785 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4787 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4788 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4789 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4790 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4792 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4793 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4795 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4796 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4797 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4801 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4803 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4805 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4807 Translations updated:

4857 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4858 ====================================================
4860 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4864 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4866 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4867 them can restart the application with an action (via
4872 - new API for launching subprocesses
4874 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4876 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4878 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4879 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4881 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4883 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4885 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4886 actions and listing apps and actions
4888 - bash tab completion is supported
4890 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4892 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4893 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4895 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4896 DBusActivatable=true
4898 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4899 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4904 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4906 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4907 class and inotify backend
4909 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4910 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4912 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4917 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4918 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4919 when there are invalid schemas installed
4921 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4925 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4926 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4928 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4931 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4932 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4933 semantics of the interface in each case
4935 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4936 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4938 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4940 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4941 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4942 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4943 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4947 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4950 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4952 * Portability improvements
4954 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4956 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4957 actually support it (like Hurd)
4959 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4961 * Other small API changes/additions
4963 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4964 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4965 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4967 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4969 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4970 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4972 * GMainContext/GSource
4974 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4976 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4977 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4978 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4979 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4980 broken and should probably be fixed.
4982 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4983 require use of a linked list
4987 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4988 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4989 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4991 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4995 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4996 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4997 gphoto, archive, at least).
4999 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5001 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5004 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5005 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5006 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5008 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors

5070 What's new in Glib 2.38
5071 ========================
5073 * Application support
5075 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5076 desktop entry specification
5078 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5079 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5080 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5082 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5083 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5084 to launch other applications
5086 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5087 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5091 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5092 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5093 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5094 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5095 any problems that this may have caused.
5097 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5098 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5099 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5100 (allowing memory savings)
5102 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5103 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5104 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5106 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5107 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5110 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5111 without destroying one of the objects involved
5115 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5116 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5117 with a finite number of cases
5119 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5120 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5122 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5123 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5124 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5125 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5128 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5132 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5133 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5134 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5136 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5138 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5139 and an API to check them
5141 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5142 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5144 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5145 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5149 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5150 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5151 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5154 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5155 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5156 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5158 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5163 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5164 allow for regexp matching on streams
5166 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5167 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5168 g_variant_new_printf()
5172 - we can now generate TAP output
5174 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5175 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5177 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5182 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5308 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5309 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5310 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

5493 ==============================================
5495 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5496 and a parser API for them is now provided

5652 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5653 ==============================================
5655 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5656 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5657 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5658 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5659 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5663 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5664 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5666 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
5667 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
5668 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
5669 * documentation fixes
5670 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
5673 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
5674 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h

5687 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
5688 ==============================================
5690 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5692 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5693 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5695 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5696 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5698 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5711 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5712 ==============================================
5714 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5717 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5718 ready at a specified monotonic time
5720 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5722 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
5725 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
5726 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

5824 * Translation updates:
5839 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5840 ==============================================
5842 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5843 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5844 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5845 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5846 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5848 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5849 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5850 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5851 particular, are incompatible.
5853 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5898 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5899 ==============================================
5901 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5902 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5903 causing regressions in applications.
5905 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5906 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5907 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5910 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5911 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5912 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5914 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5916 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5918 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5920 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5922 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5924 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5926 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5928 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5930 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5932 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6880 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6881 ==============================================
6883 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6884 moved to GtkApplication.
6886 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6887 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6888 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6889 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6891 * lots of documentation improvements
6893 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6895 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6896 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6898 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6900 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6902 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6904 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6905 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6908 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6909 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
6910 664699 glib: documentation fixes
6911 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
6912 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
6913 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6914 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
6915 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
6916 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6917 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6918 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6920 * Translations updated:
6924 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6925 ==============================================
6927 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6928 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6929 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6932 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6933 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6934 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6937 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6938 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6939 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6940 through an idle on the context.
6942 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6943 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6944 fixes here and there.
6946 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6947 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6948 API available outside GLib
6950 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6992 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6993 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6995 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6998 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

7014 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7015 =================================================
7017 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7018 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7020 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7021 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7022 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7023 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7024 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7025 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7026 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7027 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7028 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7029 required (and has been deprecated)
7030 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7031 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7032 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7033 without explicit initialisation.
7034 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7035 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7036 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7038 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7039 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7040 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7041 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7042 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7043 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7044 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7046 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7047 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7048 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7049 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7050 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7051 - other implementation details changed
7053 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7054 deprecated/ directory.
7056 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7057 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7058 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7060 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7061 platform over a year ago).
7063 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7064 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7066 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7067 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7069 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7070 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7071 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7072 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7075 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7076 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7079 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7081 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7082 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7084 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7085 in a multi-threaded program
7087 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7088 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7091 - drop -uninstalled variants
7092 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7094 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7095 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7096 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7098 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7100 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7101 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7104 - many code generation updates and improvements
7105 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7108 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7109 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7111 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7113 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7116 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7117 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7119 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7120 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7122 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7124 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7128 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7129 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7555 ==============================================
7557 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7558 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7559 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7560 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7561 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7562 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7564 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7565 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7567 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7569 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

7622 * Updated translations:
7631 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7632 ==============================================
7635 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7636 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7637 an 'object manager' pattern:
7638 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7639 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7640 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7641 And server-side implementations:
7642 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7643 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7644 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7648 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7652 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7653 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7654 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7655 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7658 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7659 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7662 * Unix-specific APIs:
7663 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7664 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7665 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7666 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7667 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7668 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7692 * Updated translations
7699 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7700 ==============================================
7703 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7704 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7705 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7708 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7709 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7710 situations has been improved
7713 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7714 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7717 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7718 match strcmp() semantics
7719 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7720 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7721 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7723 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7724 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7727 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7729 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7731 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7732 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7733 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8010 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8011 ==============================================
8013 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8014 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8019 g_get_monotonic_time
8021 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8024 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8026 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8028 g_simple_async_result_take_error
8029 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
8030 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8032 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
8035 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
8036 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
8037 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
8039 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
8040 g_get_user_runtime_dir
8042 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
8045 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
8046 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

8048 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error
8049 633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8051 * Translation updates:
8059 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8060 ==============================================
8063 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8064 - Support environment passing
8067 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8068 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8070 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8071 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8072 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8076 158725 free linked list with data
8077 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8078 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

8086 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
8087 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
8089 * Translation updates:
8095 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8096 ==============================================
8098 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8099 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8101 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8102 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8104 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8106 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8108 g_settings_get_range
8109 g_settings_range_check
8110 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8112 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8113 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8115 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8116 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8118 g_main_context_invoke
8119 g_main_context_invoke_full
8121 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8122 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8123 looking for default applications.
8125 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8126 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8127 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8128 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8130 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8131 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8132 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8387 =====================================================
8389 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8390 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8391 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8393 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8394 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8395 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8396 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8399 There have been many other improvements, however:
8402 - vastly improved test coverage
8403 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8404 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8405 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8454 =====================================================
8456 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8457 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8458 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8459 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8460 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8461 | required (and will be along soon). |
8462 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8465 - cleanup automake setup
8466 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8467 - various docs fixups

8485 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8486 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8487 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8490 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8523 =====================================================
8525 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8526 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8527 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8528 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8529 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8532 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8533 -Bsymbolic-functions
8534 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8535 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8536 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8537 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8538 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8541 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8542 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8543 nobody was doing that.
8544 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8546 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8547 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8549 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8550 have a serial number
8551 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8553 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8555 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8556 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8557 has finished running on GDBus services.
8558 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8559 this due to the obvious race)
8560 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8561 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8564 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8565 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8566 arguments and different behaviour
8567 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8568 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8569 strings instead of utf8 strings
8570 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8571 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8572 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8573 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8574 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8575 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8576 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8577 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8578 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8581 - improved documentation
8582 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8583 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8584 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8585 overridden using <override>.
8586 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8588 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8589 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8590 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8591 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8592 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8593 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8594 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8595 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8596 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8597 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8598 being set due to a premature free
8599 - command line tool: bash completion support
8600 - chain up in _finalize
8601 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8603 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8604 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8605 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8607 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8608 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8609 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8610 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8611 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8615 - always intern GBinding prop names
8616 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8617 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8618 - GNode docs improvements
8619 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8620 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8621 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8625 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8626 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8627 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8628 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,

9328 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9329 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9330 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9331 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9332 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9333 while loading or saving it.
9334 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9335 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9336 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9339 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9340 interfaces to dynamic types.
9343 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9344 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

10063 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10064 ===================================================
10066 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10067 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10068 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10069 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10070 also uses less memory overall.

10075 that a GError is set or unset

10079 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10080 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10082 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

11718 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11719 never worked as intended.
11720 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11721 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11722 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11723 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11724 efficient and scalable implementation.

12706 * Portability fixes for threading. [Sebastian]
12707 * Added convenient functions for launching new processes (g_spawn_*),
12708 and shell quoting/unquoting functions. [Havoc]
12709 * Split glib.h into many headers. [Sebastian]
12710 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
12711 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
12712 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
12713 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
12714 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
12715 * Many documentation improvements.
12720 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
12721 * Added callback abstraction (GClosure) [Tim]
12722 * Added signal system (GSignal) [Tim]

12734 computing the canonical decomposition and ordering combining
12735 characters aand manipulating UTF-8 string manipulation based
12737 * GString now properly handles embedded nuls.
12738 * Multiple fixes from the 1.2.x branch.
12739 * Upgrade to libtool 1.3.3
