97 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
98 ==================================
100 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
101 which makes error checking easier (#553)
103 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
104 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
105 variables, or mostly anything else (see
106 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
108 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
109 Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)
111 * Add `g_assert_cmpstrv()` test convenience function (work by Niels De Graef) (#2015)
113 * Changes to the behaviour of the `G_URI_FLAGS_SCHEME_NORMALIZE` scheme
114 normalization flag in `GUri` (work by Carlos Garcia Campos) (#2257, !1716)
116 * Add new `--run-prefix` and `--skip-prefix` options to GTest, to allow running
117 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
119 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
120 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
121 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
122 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
123 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
124 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1293 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1295 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1296 of packaged libraries (!951)

1455 - `g_queue_insert_after_link()`
1457 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
1458 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

1840 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1841 ==================================
1843 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1844 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1845 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1846 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1848 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1849 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1851 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1853 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1855 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1857 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1858 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1859 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1860 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1862 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1863 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1865 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1866 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1867 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1869 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1871 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1872 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1875 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1876 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1878 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1879 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1880 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1882 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1883 portal backends. (!317)
1885 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1888 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1890 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1893 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1895 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1898 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1899 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1900 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1902 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1903 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1905 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1906 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1907 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1908 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1910 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1912 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2106 - Brazilian Portuguese
2121 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2122 ==================================
2124 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2125 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2126 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2127 with Meson or autotools. See:
2128 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2130 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2132 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2133 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2135 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2137 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2139 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2140 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2141 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2142 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2145 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2146 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2147 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2148 !265 Network monitor again
2149 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2150 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2151 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2152 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2153 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2154 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2156 * Translation updates:
2166 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2167 ==================================
2169 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2170 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2171 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2172 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2174 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2176 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2178 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2180 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2182 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2183 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2185 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2187 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2188 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2189 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2192 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2194 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2197 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2198 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2199 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
2200 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
2201 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback
2202 #972 Mismatch between gint64 and int64_t on 64-bit macOS/BSD
2203 !251 gtestdbus: Fix watcher crash on FreeBSD
2204 #1492 gcc-8: -Wcast-function-type: new warnings for g_list_copy_deep()
2205 !252 tests: fix gnotification tests broken due to the recent icon name fallback changes

2209 #1444 the meson build doesn't support installed tests
2210 #1027 Fix trashing on overlayfs

3260 ==================================
3262 * Change the just-introduced structured logging API. The arguments
3263 of g_log_structured() had to be reordered to enable an implementation
3264 within the limits of what the standards guarantee about var args.

3284 - g_key_file_load_from_bytes
3285 - g_compute_hmac_for_bytes
3287 * Stack-allocated GVariantBuilder and GVariantDict objects can now be
3288 initialized with G_VARIANT_BUILDER_INIT and G_VARIANT_DICT_INIT
3291 - Add a way to register handlers for custom uri schemes
3292 - Add a G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_REMOTE attribute to
3293 have these heuristics in a single place
3294 - Include a gio tool that makes the functionality of the
3295 various gvfs commandline tools available in a single place
3296 - Add portal support to g_app_info_launch_default_for_uri

3368 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
3369 ==================================
3371 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3372 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3373 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3374 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
3376 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
3377 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3378 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3380 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3381 environment variable.
3383 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3384 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3545 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3546 is unavailable or undesired.
3548 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3549 glib-networking will also be required.

3603 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3604 ==================================
3606 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3607 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3608 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3609 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3611 This release corrects only this problem.
3613 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3614 ==================================
3616 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3617 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3618 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3620 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3966 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3967 ==================================
3969 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3970 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3971 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3972 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3973 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3974 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3976 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3977 have seen major improvements.
3979 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3980 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3981 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3984 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3986 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3988 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3990 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3991 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3992 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3993 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3994 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3995 you use the --strict option.
3997 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3998 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3999 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4001 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4003 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4004 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4005 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4051 ===================================
4053 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4054 before the release of 2.44.0.
4056 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4058 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4059 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4060 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4061 default in the next cycle.
4063 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4065 * new GTask:completed property
4067 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of

4108 ===================================
4110 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4111 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4112 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4114 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4115 effective busy state.

4168 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4170 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4171 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

4657 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4658 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4913 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4914 ====================================================
4916 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4918 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4920 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4921 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4924 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4925 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4928 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4930 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4932 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4935 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4936 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4938 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4940 * Applications/Actions
4942 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4943 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4946 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4947 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4949 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4950 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4951 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4952 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4956 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4957 accesses that are performed in common situations
4959 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4960 are installed/removed
4962 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4963 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4965 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4966 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4971 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4973 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4974 that test programs don't pick them up
4976 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4978 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4979 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4980 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4981 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4983 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4984 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4986 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4987 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4988 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4992 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4994 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4996 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4998 Translations updated:

5014 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
5015 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
5016 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
5017 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
5018 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

5048 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5049 ====================================================
5051 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5055 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5057 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5058 them can restart the application with an action (via
5063 - new API for launching subprocesses
5065 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5067 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5069 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5070 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5072 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5074 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5076 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5077 actions and listing apps and actions
5079 - bash tab completion is supported
5081 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5083 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5084 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5086 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5087 DBusActivatable=true
5089 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5090 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5095 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5097 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5098 class and inotify backend
5100 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5101 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5103 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5108 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5109 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5110 when there are invalid schemas installed
5112 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5116 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5117 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5119 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5122 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5123 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5124 semantics of the interface in each case
5126 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5127 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5129 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5131 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5132 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5133 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5134 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5138 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5141 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5143 * Portability improvements
5145 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5147 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5148 actually support it (like Hurd)
5150 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5152 * Other small API changes/additions
5154 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5155 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5156 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5158 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5160 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5161 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5163 * GMainContext/GSource
5165 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5167 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5168 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5169 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5170 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5171 broken and should probably be fixed.
5173 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5174 require use of a linked list
5178 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5179 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5180 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5182 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5186 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5187 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5188 gphoto, archive, at least).
5190 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5192 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5195 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5196 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5197 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5199 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5201 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5203 * Many documentation improvements
5206 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
5207 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
5208 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

5261 What's new in Glib 2.38
5262 ========================
5264 * Application support
5266 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5267 desktop entry specification
5269 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5270 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5271 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5273 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5274 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5275 to launch other applications
5277 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5278 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5282 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5283 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5284 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5285 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5286 any problems that this may have caused.
5288 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5289 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5290 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5291 (allowing memory savings)
5293 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5294 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5295 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5297 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5298 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5301 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5302 without destroying one of the objects involved
5306 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5307 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5308 with a finite number of cases
5310 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5311 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5313 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5314 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5315 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5316 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5319 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5323 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5324 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5325 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5327 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5329 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5330 and an API to check them
5332 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5333 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5335 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5336 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5340 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5341 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5342 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5345 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5346 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5347 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5349 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5354 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5355 allow for regexp matching on streams
5357 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5358 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5359 g_variant_new_printf()
5363 - we can now generate TAP output
5365 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5366 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5368 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5373 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5495 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
5496 ==============================================
5498 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5499 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5500 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5501 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5503 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5504 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5507 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5509 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
5510 the key was locked down)
5512 * Miscellaneous new api:
5513 - g_variant_new_printf
5514 - g_action_print_detailed_name
5515 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind

5564 * Translation updates:
5567 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.2 to 2.37.3
5568 ==============================================
5570 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
5572 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
5573 build the unmodified source
5575 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
5577 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
5578 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
5579 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
5586 698375 - D-Bus async properties

5591 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
5592 ==============================================
5594 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5595 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5597 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5598 and will trigger a warning.
5601 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5636 ==============================================
5638 * add support for installed tests:
5639 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
5641 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
5642 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5644 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5646 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5648 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
5649 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
5650 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
5652 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

5684 ==============================================
5686 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5687 and a parser API for them is now provided
5689 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5690 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5691 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5754 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5756 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5757 the destination file
5759 - fix some 'available since' annotations

5783 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5784 ==============================================
5786 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5787 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5788 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5789 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5844 ==============================================
5846 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5847 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5848 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5849 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5850 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5854 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris

5879 ==============================================
5881 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5883 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5884 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5886 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5887 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5889 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5902 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5903 ==============================================
5905 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5908 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5909 ready at a specified monotonic time
5911 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5913 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

6030 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6031 ==============================================
6033 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6034 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6035 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6036 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6037 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6039 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6040 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6041 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6042 particular, are incompatible.
6044 * Bugs fixed in this release:

6089 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6090 ==============================================
6092 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6093 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6094 causing regressions in applications.
6096 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6097 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6098 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6101 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6102 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6103 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6105 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6107 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6109 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6111 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6113 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6115 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6117 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6119 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6121 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6123 * Many other docs and annotations fixes
6136 649302 Add support for GNU/FreeBSD
6137 668842 [GSocket] Add caching for the sender address in g_socket_receive_from()

7017 ==============================================
7020 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7021 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7022 to an overridden property
7023 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7024 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7026 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7027 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

7071 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7072 ==============================================
7074 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7075 moved to GtkApplication.
7077 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7078 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7079 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7080 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7082 * lots of documentation improvements
7084 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7086 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7087 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7089 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7091 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7093 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7095 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7096 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7099 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates

7104 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7105 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

7111 * Translations updated:
7115 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7116 ==============================================
7118 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7119 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7120 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7123 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7124 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7125 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7128 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7129 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7130 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7131 through an idle on the context.
7133 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7134 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7135 fixes here and there.
7137 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7138 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7139 API available outside GLib
7141 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7183 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7184 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7186 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

7205 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7206 =================================================
7208 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7209 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7211 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7212 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7213 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7214 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7215 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7216 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7217 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7218 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7219 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7220 required (and has been deprecated)
7221 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7222 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7223 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7224 without explicit initialisation.
7225 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7226 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7227 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7229 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7230 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7231 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7232 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7233 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7234 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7235 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7237 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7238 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7239 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7240 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7241 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7242 - other implementation details changed
7244 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7245 deprecated/ directory.
7247 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7248 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7249 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7251 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7252 platform over a year ago).
7254 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7255 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7257 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7258 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7260 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7261 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7262 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7263 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7266 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7267 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7270 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7272 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7273 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7275 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7276 in a multi-threaded program
7278 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7279 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7282 - drop -uninstalled variants
7283 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7285 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7286 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7287 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7289 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7291 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7292 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7295 - many code generation updates and improvements
7296 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7299 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7300 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7302 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7304 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7307 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7308 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7310 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7311 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7313 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7315 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7319 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7320 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7746 ==============================================
7748 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7749 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7750 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7751 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7752 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7753 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7755 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7756 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

7822 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7823 ==============================================
7826 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7827 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7828 an 'object manager' pattern:
7829 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7830 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7831 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7832 And server-side implementations:
7833 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7834 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7835 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7839 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7843 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7844 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7845 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7846 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7849 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7850 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7853 * Unix-specific APIs:
7854 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7855 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7856 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7857 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7858 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7859 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7895 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7896 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7899 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7900 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7901 situations has been improved
7904 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7905 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}

7911 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7912 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7914 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7915 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7918 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7920 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7922 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7923 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,

8202 ==============================================
8204 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8205 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8210 g_get_monotonic_time
8212 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8215 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8217 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8219 g_simple_async_result_take_error
8220 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
8221 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8223 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

8254 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8255 - Support environment passing
8258 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8259 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8261 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8262 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8263 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8267 158725 free linked list with data

8287 ==============================================
8289 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8290 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8292 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8293 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8295 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8297 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8299 g_settings_get_range
8300 g_settings_range_check
8301 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8303 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8304 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8306 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8307 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8309 g_main_context_invoke
8310 g_main_context_invoke_full
8312 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8313 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8314 looking for default applications.
8316 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8317 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8318 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8319 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8321 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8322 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8323 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8581 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8582 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8584 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8585 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8586 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8587 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8590 There have been many other improvements, however:
8593 - vastly improved test coverage
8594 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8595 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8596 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8645 =====================================================
8647 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8648 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8649 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8650 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8651 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8652 | required (and will be along soon). |
8653 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8656 - cleanup automake setup
8657 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8658 - various docs fixups

8677 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8678 - clean ups to subtree registration API

8713 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
8714 =====================================================
8716 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8717 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8718 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8719 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8720 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8723 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8724 -Bsymbolic-functions
8725 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8726 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8727 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8728 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8729 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8732 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8733 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8734 nobody was doing that.
8735 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8737 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8738 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8740 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8741 have a serial number
8742 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8744 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8746 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8747 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8748 has finished running on GDBus services.
8749 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8750 this due to the obvious race)
8751 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8752 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8755 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8756 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8757 arguments and different behaviour
8758 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8759 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8760 strings instead of utf8 strings
8761 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8762 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8763 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8764 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8765 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8766 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8767 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8768 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8769 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8772 - improved documentation
8773 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8774 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8775 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8776 overridden using <override>.
8777 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8779 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8780 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8781 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8782 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8783 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8784 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8785 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8786 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8787 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8788 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8789 being set due to a premature free
8790 - command line tool: bash completion support
8791 - chain up in _finalize
8792 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8794 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8795 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8796 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8798 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8799 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8800 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8801 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8802 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8806 - always intern GBinding prop names
8807 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8808 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8809 - GNode docs improvements
8810 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8811 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8812 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8816 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8817 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8818 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8819 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8820 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8821 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8822 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8823 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8825 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8826 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8827 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8828 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8829 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8830 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8831 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
8832 610784 array test failing
8833 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

9519 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9520 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9521 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,

9523 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9524 while loading or saving it.
9525 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9526 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9527 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9530 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9531 interfaces to dynamic types.

11854 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11855 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11856 variants [Martyn Russell]
11859 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
11860 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
11863 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
11866 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64

11888 =================================================
11890 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11891 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11892 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11894 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11895 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11898 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11899 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11900 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11901 "stutter stepping".
11902 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11904 * Memory management:
11905 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11906 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11907 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11908 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11909 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11910 never worked as intended.
11911 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11912 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11913 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11914 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11915 efficient and scalable implementation.
11916 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11918 * Pattern matching:
11919 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11920 unnecessary recursion.
11923 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11924 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11925 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11928 * g_thread_foreach:
11929 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11932 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11933 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11934 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11938 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11939 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11940 since they are in glib.h
