1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
2 ==============================================
4 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch
5 to take care of gcc builtins where possible.
6 As a side-effect of this, calls to g_atomic_ API with explicit
7 casts may now be problematic; if that happens to you, try first
9 Another side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
10 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
13 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
14 ==============================================
17 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
18 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
19 an 'object manager' pattern:
20 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
21 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
22 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
23 And server-side implementations:
24 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
25 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
26 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
30 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
34 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
35 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
36 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
37 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
40 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
41 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
45 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
46 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
47 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
48 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
49 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
50 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

81 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
82 ==============================================
85 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
86 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
87 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
90 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
91 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
92 situations has been improved
95 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
96 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
99 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
100 match strcmp() semantics
101 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
102 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
103 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
105 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
106 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
109 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
111 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
113 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
114 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
115 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

478 ==============================================
480 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
481 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
483 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
484 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
486 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
488 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
491 g_settings_range_check
492 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
494 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
495 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
497 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
498 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
500 g_main_context_invoke
501 g_main_context_invoke_full
503 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
504 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
505 looking for default applications.
507 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
508 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
509 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
510 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
512 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
513 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
514 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

772 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
773 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
775 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
776 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
777 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
778 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
781 There have been many other improvements, however:
784 - vastly improved test coverage
785 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
786 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
787 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

838 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
839 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
840 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
841 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
842 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |

904 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
905 =====================================================
907 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
908 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
909 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
910 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
911 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
914 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
916 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
917 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
918 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
919 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
920 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
923 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
924 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
925 nobody was doing that.
926 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
928 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
929 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
931 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
933 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
935 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
937 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
938 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
939 has finished running on GDBus services.
940 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
941 this due to the obvious race)
942 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
943 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
946 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
947 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
948 arguments and different behaviour
949 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
950 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
951 strings instead of utf8 strings
952 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
953 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
954 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
955 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
956 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
957 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
958 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
959 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
960 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
963 - improved documentation
964 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
965 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
966 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
967 overridden using <override>.
968 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
970 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
971 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
972 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
973 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
974 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
975 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
976 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
977 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
978 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
979 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
980 being set due to a premature free
981 - command line tool: bash completion support
982 - chain up in _finalize
983 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
985 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
986 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
987 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
989 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
990 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
991 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
992 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
993 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
997 - always intern GBinding prop names
998 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
999 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1000 - GNode docs improvements
1001 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
1002 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1003 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
1007 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check

1011 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
1012 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
1013 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
1014 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
1016 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
1017 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

1019 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
1020 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
1021 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
1022 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
1023 610784 array test failing
1024 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
