737 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
738 ==================================
740 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
741 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
742 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
743 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
745 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
746 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
747 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
749 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
750 environment variable.
752 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
753 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

898 * Translation updates:
910 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
911 ==================================
913 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
914 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
915 is unavailable or undesired.
917 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
918 glib-networking will also be required.

968 * Translation updates:
972 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
973 ==================================
975 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
976 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
977 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
978 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
980 This release corrects only this problem.
982 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
983 ==================================
985 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
986 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
987 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
989 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1335 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1336 ==================================
1338 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1339 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1340 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1341 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1342 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1343 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1345 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1346 have seen major improvements.
1348 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1349 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1350 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1353 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1355 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1357 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1359 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1360 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1361 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1362 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1363 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1364 you use the --strict option.
1366 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1367 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1368 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1370 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1372 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1373 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1374 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1419 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1420 ===================================
1422 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1423 before the release of 2.44.0.
1425 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1427 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1428 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1429 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1430 default in the next cycle.
1432 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1434 * new GTask:completed property
1436 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1437 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1477 ===================================
1479 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1480 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1481 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1483 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1484 effective busy state.
1486 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

1533 ==================================
1535 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
1536 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
1537 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1539 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1540 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

1911 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
1912 and NULL pointer dereferences.
1914 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
1915 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).

1929 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
1930 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
1932 * ... and many other bug fixes.

2282 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2283 ====================================================
2285 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2287 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2289 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2290 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2293 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2294 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2297 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2299 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2301 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2304 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2305 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2307 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2309 * Applications/Actions
2311 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2312 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2315 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2316 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2318 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2319 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2320 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2321 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2325 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2326 accesses that are performed in common situations
2328 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2329 are installed/removed
2331 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2332 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2334 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2335 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2340 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2342 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2343 that test programs don't pick them up
2345 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2347 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2348 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2349 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2350 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2352 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2353 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2355 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2356 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2357 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2361 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream

2417 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2418 ====================================================
2420 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2424 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2426 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2427 them can restart the application with an action (via
2432 - new API for launching subprocesses
2434 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2436 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2438 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2439 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2441 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2443 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2445 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2446 actions and listing apps and actions
2448 - bash tab completion is supported
2450 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2452 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2453 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2455 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2456 DBusActivatable=true
2458 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2459 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2464 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2466 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2467 class and inotify backend
2469 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2470 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2472 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2477 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2478 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2479 when there are invalid schemas installed
2481 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2485 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2486 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2488 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2491 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2492 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2493 semantics of the interface in each case
2495 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2496 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2498 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2500 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2501 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2502 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2503 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2507 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2510 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2512 * Portability improvements
2514 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2516 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2517 actually support it (like Hurd)
2519 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2521 * Other small API changes/additions
2523 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2524 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2525 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2527 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2529 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2530 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2532 * GMainContext/GSource
2534 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2536 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2537 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2538 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2539 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2540 broken and should probably be fixed.
2542 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2543 require use of a linked list
2547 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2548 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2549 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2551 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2555 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2556 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2557 gphoto, archive, at least).
2559 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2561 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2564 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2565 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2566 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2568 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2570 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2572 * Many documentation improvements
2575 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2576 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2577 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2624 Brazilian Portuguese
2630 What's new in Glib 2.38
2631 ========================
2633 * Application support
2635 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2636 desktop entry specification
2638 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2639 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2640 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2642 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2643 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2644 to launch other applications
2646 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2647 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2651 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2652 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2653 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2654 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2655 any problems that this may have caused.
2657 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2658 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2659 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2660 (allowing memory savings)
2662 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2663 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2664 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2666 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2667 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2670 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2671 without destroying one of the objects involved
2675 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2676 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2677 with a finite number of cases
2679 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2680 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2682 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2683 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2684 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2685 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2688 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2692 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2693 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2694 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2696 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2698 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2699 and an API to check them
2701 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2702 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2704 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2705 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2709 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2710 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2711 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2714 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2715 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2716 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2718 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2723 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2724 allow for regexp matching on streams
2726 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2727 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2728 g_variant_new_printf()
2732 - we can now generate TAP output
2734 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2735 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2737 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2742 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2864 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2865 ==============================================
2867 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2868 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2869 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2870 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2872 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2873 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2876 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2878 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2879 the key was locked down)

3004 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
3005 ==============================================
3007 * add support for installed tests:
3008 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
3010 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
3011 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3013 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3015 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3017 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3018 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3019 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3021 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
3037 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
3038 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance
3039 695233 Strings require plural forms

3052 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3053 ==============================================
3055 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3056 and a parser API for them is now provided
3058 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3059 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3060 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3120 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3121 ==============================================
3123 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3125 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3126 the destination file
3128 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3130 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3136 * Translations updated:
3152 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3153 ==============================================
3155 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3156 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3157 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3158 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3212 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3213 ==============================================
3215 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3216 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3217 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3218 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3219 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3223 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3224 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3226 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3227 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3228 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3229 * documentation fixes
3230 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3233 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3247 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3248 ==============================================
3250 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3252 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3253 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3255 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3256 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3258 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3271 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3272 ==============================================
3274 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3277 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3278 ready at a specified monotonic time
3280 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3282 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3285 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3286 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3384 * Translation updates:
3399 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3400 ==============================================
3402 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3403 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3404 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3405 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3406 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3408 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3409 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3410 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3411 particular, are incompatible.
3413 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3458 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3459 ==============================================
3461 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3462 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3463 causing regressions in applications.
3465 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3466 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3467 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3470 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3471 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3472 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3474 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3476 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3478 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3480 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3482 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3484 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3486 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3488 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3490 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3492 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3542 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3543 ==============================================
3545 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3546 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3548 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3549 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3551 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3553 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3555 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3557 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3559 * GLib version macros updated
3561 * Update to Unicode 6.2
3563 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
3565 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
3567 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
3569 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to

4386 ==============================================
4389 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4390 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4391 to an overridden property
4392 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4393 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4395 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4396 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4440 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4441 ==============================================
4443 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4444 moved to GtkApplication.
4446 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4447 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4448 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4449 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4451 * lots of documentation improvements
4453 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4455 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4456 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4458 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4460 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4462 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4464 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4465 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4468 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4469 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4477 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4478 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4480 * Translations updated:
4484 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4485 ==============================================
4487 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4488 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4489 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4492 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4493 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4494 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4497 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4498 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4499 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4500 through an idle on the context.
4502 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4503 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4504 fixes here and there.
4506 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4507 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4508 API available outside GLib
4510 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4551 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4552 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4553 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4555 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

4574 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4575 =================================================
4577 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4578 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4580 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4581 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4582 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4583 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4584 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4585 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4586 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4587 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4588 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4589 required (and has been deprecated)
4590 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4591 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4592 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4593 without explicit initialisation.
4594 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4595 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4596 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4598 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4599 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4600 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4601 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4602 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4603 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4604 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4606 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4607 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4608 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4609 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4610 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4611 - other implementation details changed
4613 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4614 deprecated/ directory.
4616 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4617 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4618 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4620 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4621 platform over a year ago).
4623 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4624 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4626 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4627 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4629 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4630 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4631 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4632 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4635 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4636 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4639 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4641 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4642 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4644 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4645 in a multi-threaded program
4647 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4648 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4651 - drop -uninstalled variants
4652 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4654 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4655 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4656 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4658 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4660 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4661 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4664 - many code generation updates and improvements
4665 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4668 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4669 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4671 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4673 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4676 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4677 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4679 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4680 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4682 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4684 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4688 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4689 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5115 ==============================================
5117 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5118 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5119 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5120 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5121 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5122 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5124 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5125 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5127 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5129 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

5182 * Updated translations:
5191 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5192 ==============================================
5195 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5196 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5197 an 'object manager' pattern:
5198 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5199 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5200 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5201 And server-side implementations:
5202 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5203 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5204 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5208 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5212 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5213 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5214 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5215 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5218 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5219 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5222 * Unix-specific APIs:
5223 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5224 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5225 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5226 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5227 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5228 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5252 * Updated translations
5259 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5260 ==============================================
5263 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5264 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5265 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5268 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5269 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5270 situations has been improved
5273 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5274 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5277 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5278 match strcmp() semantics
5279 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5280 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5281 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5283 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5284 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5287 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5289 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5291 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5292 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5293 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5624 - Support environment passing
5627 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5628 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5630 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5631 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5632 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5636 158725 free linked list with data

5649 * Translation updates:
5655 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5656 ==============================================
5658 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5659 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5661 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5662 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5664 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5666 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5668 g_settings_get_range
5669 g_settings_range_check
5670 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5672 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5673 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5675 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5676 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5678 g_main_context_invoke
5679 g_main_context_invoke_full
5681 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5682 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5683 looking for default applications.
5685 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5686 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5687 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5688 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5690 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5691 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5692 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5950 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5951 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5953 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5954 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5955 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5956 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5959 There have been many other improvements, however:
5962 - vastly improved test coverage
5963 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5964 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5965 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
5968 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
5971 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
5972 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
5973 - improve debug output, add some extra options
5974 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
5976 - sort property names correctly
5977 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
5979 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
5982 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
5983 without mapping functions
5984 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
5987 - improve closure support for bindings
5988 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
5991 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
5994 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config

6013 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
6014 =====================================================
6016 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6017 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6018 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6019 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6020 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6021 | required (and will be along soon). |
6022 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6025 - cleanup automake setup
6026 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6027 - various docs fixups
6028 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
6029 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
6032 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
6034 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
6035 - add g_settings_reset()
6036 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
6039 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
6040 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
6041 - proper support for file descriptor passing
6042 - new flags parameter for sending messages
6043 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
6044 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
6045 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6046 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6047 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6050 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions
6051 - GIO: don't blindly assume that SOCK_CLOEXEC is supported
6052 - make GObject property notify freezes threadsafe
6053 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
6054 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
6055 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
6058 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
6059 617483 Credentials passing
6060 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property
6061 623293 vendor override files
6062 623810 Message serialization bug
6063 623815 Don't check sender for GDBusProxy objects where name is not set

6082 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6083 =====================================================
6085 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6086 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6087 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6088 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6089 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6092 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6093 -Bsymbolic-functions
6094 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6095 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6096 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6097 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6098 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6101 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6102 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6103 nobody was doing that.
6104 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6106 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6107 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6109 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6110 have a serial number
6111 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6113 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6115 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6116 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6117 has finished running on GDBus services.
6118 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6119 this due to the obvious race)
6120 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6121 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6124 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6125 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6126 arguments and different behaviour
6127 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6128 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6129 strings instead of utf8 strings
6130 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6131 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6132 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6133 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6134 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6135 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6136 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6137 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6138 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6141 - improved documentation
6142 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6143 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6144 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6145 overridden using <override>.
6146 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6148 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6149 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6150 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6151 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6152 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6153 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6154 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6155 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6156 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6157 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6158 being set due to a premature free
6159 - command line tool: bash completion support
6160 - chain up in _finalize
6161 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6163 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6164 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6165 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6167 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6168 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6169 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6170 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6171 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6175 - always intern GBinding prop names
6176 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6177 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6178 - GNode docs improvements
6179 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6180 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6181 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6185 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6186 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6187 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6188 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6189 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6190 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6191 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6192 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6194 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6195 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6196 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6197 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6198 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6199 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6200 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6201 610784 array test failing
6202 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6203 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
6204 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
6205 622124 implement flags

6219 623537 GDBusProxy has weird checking on NameOwnerChanged
6220 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
6221 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty

6895 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6896 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6899 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6900 interfaces to dynamic types.

7627 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

7630 also uses less memory overall.

7635 that a GError is set or unset
7637 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7639 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7640 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7642 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7643 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
