1303 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
1304 ==================================
1306 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
1307 which makes error checking easier (#553)
1309 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
1310 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
1311 variables, or mostly anything else (see
1312 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
1314 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by

1323 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
1325 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
1326 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
1327 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
1328 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
1329 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
1330 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

2290 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
2292 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing
2293 `G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS` flag; the destination permissions would be
2294 private rather than following the process’ umask (!1142)
2296 * Several `GDateTime` parsing fixes (!1127)
2298 * Always build the tests if installed-tests are enabled, so that the tests can
2299 actually be installed (!1141)

2302 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
2303 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
2305 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
2307 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)

2467 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
2468 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
2470 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
2471 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
2473 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
2474 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
2476 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
2477 third-party code should now be using

2494 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
2496 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
2497 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
2499 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
2501 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
2502 of packaged libraries (!951)
2504 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

2976 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2977 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2978 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
2980 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)

3046 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
3047 ==================================
3049 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
3050 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
3051 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
3052 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
3054 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
3055 directory for each unit test. (#538)
3057 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
3059 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
3061 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
3063 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
3064 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
3065 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
3066 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
3068 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
3069 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
3071 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
3072 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
3073 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
3075 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
3077 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
3078 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
3081 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
3082 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
3084 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
3085 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
3086 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
3088 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
3089 portal backends. (!317)
3091 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
3094 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
3096 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
3099 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
3101 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
3104 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
3105 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
3106 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
3108 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
3109 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
3111 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
3112 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
3113 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
3114 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
3116 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
3118 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

3327 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
3328 ==================================
3330 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
3331 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
3332 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
3333 with Meson or autotools. See:
3334 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
3336 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
3338 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
3339 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
3341 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
3343 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
3345 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
3346 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
3347 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
3348 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
3351 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
3352 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
3353 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
3354 !265 Network monitor again
3355 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
3356 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
3357 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
3358 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
3359 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
3360 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
3362 * Translation updates:
3372 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
3373 ==================================
3375 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
3376 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
3377 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
3378 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
3380 * Many minor documentation fixes.
3382 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
3384 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
3386 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
3388 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
3389 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
3391 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
3393 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
3394 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
3395 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
3398 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
3400 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
3403 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
3404 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
3405 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

4575 ==================================
4577 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
4578 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
4579 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
4580 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

4583 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
4584 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
4586 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
4587 environment variable.
4589 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
4590 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

4755 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
4756 is unavailable or undesired.
4758 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

4809 * Translation updates:
4813 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
4814 ==================================
4816 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
4817 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
4818 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
4819 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
4821 This release corrects only this problem.
4823 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
4824 ==================================
4826 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
4827 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
4828 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
4830 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4911 * Translation updates:
4919 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4920 ==================================
4922 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4923 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4924 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4925 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4926 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4929 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4930 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4931 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4932 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4933 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4934 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4935 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

5191 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
5192 ==================================
5194 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
5195 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
5196 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
5197 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
5198 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
5199 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
5201 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
5202 have seen major improvements.
5204 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
5205 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
5206 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
5209 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
5211 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
5213 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
5215 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
5216 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
5217 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
5218 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
5219 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
5220 you use the --strict option.
5222 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
5223 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
5224 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
5226 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
5228 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
5229 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
5230 default handlers for a generic supertype.

5275 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
5276 ===================================
5278 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
5279 before the release of 2.44.0.
5281 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
5283 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
5284 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
5285 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
5286 default in the next cycle.
5288 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
5290 * new GTask:completed property
5292 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
5293 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

5333 ===================================
5335 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
5336 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
5337 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
5339 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
5340 effective busy state.

5764 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
5765 ===================================
5767 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
5768 and NULL pointer dereferences.
5770 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
5771 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
5773 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
5774 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
5776 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
5777 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
5779 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
5781 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
5782 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
5784 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
5785 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
5786 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
5788 * ... and many other bug fixes.

5847 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
5848 =====================================================
5850 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
5852 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
5853 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
5854 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
5855 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
5856 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
5857 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
5858 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
5859 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
5860 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
5861 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
5862 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
5864 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
5865 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
5867 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
5871 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

5890 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
5891 =====================================================
5893 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
5894 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
5895 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
5896 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
5897 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
5898 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

6153 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
6154 ====================================================
6156 * GSettings fixes/improvements
6158 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
6160 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
6161 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
6164 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
6165 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
6168 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
6170 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
6172 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
6175 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
6176 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
6178 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
6180 * Applications/Actions
6182 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
6183 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
6186 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
6187 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
6189 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
6190 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
6191 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
6192 not itself at fault for the errant call)
6196 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
6197 accesses that are performed in common situations
6199 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
6200 are installed/removed
6202 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
6203 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
6205 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
6206 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
6211 - ignore qualified tags, as above
6213 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
6214 that test programs don't pick them up
6216 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
6218 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
6219 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
6220 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
6221 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
6223 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
6224 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
6226 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
6227 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
6228 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
6232 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
6234 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
6236 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

6288 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
6289 ====================================================
6291 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
6295 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
6297 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
6298 them can restart the application with an action (via
6303 - new API for launching subprocesses
6305 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
6307 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
6309 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
6310 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
6312 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
6314 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
6316 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
6317 actions and listing apps and actions
6319 - bash tab completion is supported
6321 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
6323 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
6324 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
6326 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
6327 DBusActivatable=true
6329 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
6330 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
6335 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
6337 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
6338 class and inotify backend
6340 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
6341 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
6343 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
6348 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
6349 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
6350 when there are invalid schemas installed
6352 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
6356 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
6357 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
6359 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
6362 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
6363 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
6364 semantics of the interface in each case
6366 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
6367 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
6369 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
6371 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
6372 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
6373 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
6374 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
6378 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
6381 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
6383 * Portability improvements
6385 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
6387 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
6388 actually support it (like Hurd)
6390 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
6392 * Other small API changes/additions
6394 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
6395 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
6396 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
6398 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
6400 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
6401 G_LOG_ERROR messages
6403 * GMainContext/GSource
6405 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
6407 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
6408 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
6409 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
6410 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
6411 broken and should probably be fixed.
6413 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
6414 require use of a linked list
6418 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
6419 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
6420 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
6422 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
6426 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
6427 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
6428 gphoto, archive, at least).
6430 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
6432 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
6435 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
6436 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
6437 (which shared exactly the same bug)
6439 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
6441 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
6443 * Many documentation improvements
6446 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
6447 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
6448 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

6495 Brazilian Portuguese
6501 What's new in Glib 2.38
6502 ========================
6504 * Application support
6506 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
6507 desktop entry specification
6509 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
6510 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
6511 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
6513 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
6514 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
6515 to launch other applications
6517 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
6518 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
6522 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
6523 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
6524 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
6525 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
6526 any problems that this may have caused.
6528 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
6529 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
6530 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
6531 (allowing memory savings)
6533 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
6534 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
6535 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
6537 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
6538 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
6541 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
6542 without destroying one of the objects involved
6546 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
6547 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
6548 with a finite number of cases
6550 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
6551 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
6553 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
6554 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
6555 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
6556 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
6559 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
6563 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
6564 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
6565 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
6567 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
6569 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
6570 and an API to check them
6572 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
6573 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
6575 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
6576 with most functions, but this is not recommended
6580 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
6581 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
6582 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
6585 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
6586 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
6587 particular directory (akin to 'du').
6589 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
6594 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
6595 allow for regexp matching on streams
6597 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
6598 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
6599 g_variant_new_printf()
6603 - we can now generate TAP output
6605 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
6606 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
6608 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
6613 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

6735 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
6736 ==============================================
6738 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
6739 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
6740 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
6741 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
6743 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
6744 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
6747 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
6749 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
6750 the key was locked down)

6924 ==============================================
6926 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6927 and a parser API for them is now provided
6929 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6930 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6931 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

6991 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6992 ==============================================
6994 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6995 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6996 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6997 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6998 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6999 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
7000 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
7001 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
7002 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
7004 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
7005 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
7006 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
7007 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
7008 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
7010 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
7011 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
7012 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
7013 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
7014 anyone was using it.
7016 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
7018 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
7019 the destination file
7021 - fix some 'available since' annotations
7023 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

7045 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
7046 ==============================================
7048 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
7049 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
7050 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
7051 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

7105 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
7106 ==============================================
7108 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
7109 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
7110 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
7111 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
7112 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

7141 ==============================================
7143 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
7145 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
7146 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
7148 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
7149 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
7151 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
7164 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
7165 ==============================================
7167 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
7170 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
7171 ready at a specified monotonic time
7173 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
7175 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

7351 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
7352 ==============================================
7354 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
7355 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
7356 causing regressions in applications.
7358 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
7359 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
7360 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
7363 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
7364 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
7365 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
7367 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
7369 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
7371 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
7373 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
7375 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
7377 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
7379 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
7381 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
7383 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
7385 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

7436 ==============================================
7438 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
7439 give feedback if they cause trouble:
7441 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
7442 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
7444 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
7446 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
7448 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
7450 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
7452 * GLib version macros updated
7454 * Update to Unicode 6.2
7456 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
7458 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)

7996 * Updated translations:
8023 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
8024 ===============================================
8026 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
8027 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
8028 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
8031 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
8032 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
8033 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
8034 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
8035 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
8036 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
8037 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
8039 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
8040 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
8041 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
8042 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
8043 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
8045 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
8047 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
8049 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
8050 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
8051 private). This means that programs got away with calling
8052 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
8055 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
8056 such programs to break.
8058 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
8059 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
8060 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
8062 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
8063 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
8065 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
8067 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

8332 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
8333 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
8334 to an overridden property
8335 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
8336 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
8338 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

8384 ==============================================
8386 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
8387 moved to GtkApplication.
8389 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
8390 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
8391 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
8392 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
8394 * lots of documentation improvements
8396 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
8398 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
8399 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
8401 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
8403 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
8405 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
8407 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
8408 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
8411 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
8412 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

8423 * Translations updated:
8427 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
8428 ==============================================
8430 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
8431 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
8432 There have also been many related improvements to action group
8435 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
8436 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
8437 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
8440 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
8441 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
8442 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
8443 through an idle on the context.
8445 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
8446 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
8447 fixes here and there.
8449 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
8450 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
8451 API available outside GLib
8453 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

8495 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
8496 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
8498 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

8517 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
8518 =================================================
8520 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
8521 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
8523 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
8524 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
8525 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
8526 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
8527 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
8528 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
8529 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
8530 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
8531 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
8532 required (and has been deprecated)
8533 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
8534 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
8535 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
8536 without explicit initialisation.
8537 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
8538 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
8539 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
8541 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
8542 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
8543 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
8544 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
8545 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
8546 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
8547 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
8549 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
8550 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
8551 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
8552 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
8553 - GThread is now a refcounted type
8554 - other implementation details changed
8556 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
8557 deprecated/ directory.
8559 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
8560 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
8561 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
8563 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
8564 platform over a year ago).
8566 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
8567 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
8569 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
8570 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
8572 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
8573 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
8574 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
8575 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
8578 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
8579 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
8582 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
8584 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
8585 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
8587 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
8588 in a multi-threaded program
8590 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
8591 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
8594 - drop -uninstalled variants
8595 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
8597 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
8598 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
8599 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
8601 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
8603 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
8604 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
8607 - many code generation updates and improvements
8608 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
8611 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
8612 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
8614 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
8616 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
8619 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
8620 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
8622 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
8623 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
8625 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
8627 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
8631 * Partial list of bugs closed:
8632 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

8743 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
8744 ================================================
8746 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
8747 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
8748 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
8749 GObject depends on libffi now.
8752 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
8753 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
8755 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
8756 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)

9063 ==============================================
9065 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
9066 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
9067 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
9068 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
9069 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
9070 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
9072 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
9073 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
9075 * Access to quarks is now lockless
9077 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

9130 * Updated translations:
9139 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
9140 ==============================================
9143 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
9144 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
9145 an 'object manager' pattern:
9146 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
9147 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
9148 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
9149 And server-side implementations:
9150 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
9151 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
9152 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
9156 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
9160 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
9161 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
9162 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
9163 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
9166 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
9167 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
9170 * Unix-specific APIs:
9171 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
9172 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
9173 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
9174 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
9175 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
9176 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

9207 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
9208 ==============================================
9211 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
9212 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
9213 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
9216 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
9217 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
9218 situations has been improved
9221 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
9222 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
9225 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
9226 match strcmp() semantics
9227 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
9228 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
9229 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
9231 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
9232 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
9235 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
9237 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
9239 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
9240 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
9241 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

9576 - Support environment passing
9579 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
9580 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
9582 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
9583 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
9584 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
9588 158725 free linked list with data

9601 * Translation updates:
9607 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
9608 ==============================================
9610 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
9611 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
9613 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
9614 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
9616 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
9618 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
9620 g_settings_get_range
9621 g_settings_range_check
9622 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
9624 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
9625 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
9627 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
9628 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
9630 g_main_context_invoke
9631 g_main_context_invoke_full
9633 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
9634 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
9635 looking for default applications.
9637 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
9638 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
9639 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
9640 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
9642 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
9643 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
9644 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

9901 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9902 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
9903 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9905 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
9906 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
9907 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
9908 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
9911 There have been many other improvements, however:
9914 - vastly improved test coverage
9915 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
9916 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
9917 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
9920 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
9923 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
9924 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage

9966 =====================================================
9968 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9969 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
9970 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
9971 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
9972 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9973 | required (and will be along soon). |
9974 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9977 - cleanup automake setup
9978 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
9979 - various docs fixups
9980 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
9981 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
9984 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
9986 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
9987 - add g_settings_reset()
9988 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
9991 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

9997 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
9998 - constness fixes for introspection structures
9999 - clean ups to subtree registration API
10002 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

10034 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
10035 =====================================================
10037 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10038 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
10039 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
10040 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
10041 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10044 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
10045 -Bsymbolic-functions
10046 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
10047 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
10048 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
10049 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
10050 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
10053 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
10054 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
10055 nobody was doing that.
10056 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
10058 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
10059 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
10061 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
10062 have a serial number
10063 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
10065 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
10067 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
10068 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
10069 has finished running on GDBus services.
10070 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
10071 this due to the obvious race)
10072 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
10073 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
10076 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
10077 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
10078 arguments and different behaviour
10079 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
10080 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
10081 strings instead of utf8 strings
10082 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
10083 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
10084 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
10085 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
10086 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
10087 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
10088 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
10089 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
10090 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
10093 - improved documentation
10094 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
10095 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
10096 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
10097 overridden using <override>.
10098 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
10099 - lots of new tests
10100 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
10101 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
10102 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
10103 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
10104 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
10105 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
10106 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
10107 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
10108 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
10109 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
10110 being set due to a premature free
10111 - command line tool: bash completion support
10112 - chain up in _finalize
10113 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
10115 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
10116 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
10117 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
10119 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
10120 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
10121 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
10122 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
10123 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
10127 - always intern GBinding prop names
10128 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
10129 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
10130 - GNode docs improvements
10131 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
10132 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

10139 - improved tests for GKeyfile
10140 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
10141 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
10142 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
10143 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
10144 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
10146 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
10147 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

10523 * Install a AM_GSETTINGS autoconf macro similar to AM_GCONF
10525 * GSettings can bind the writability of a key explicitly
10527 * There is now a predefined boxed type for GError

10553 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
10554 ===================================================
10556 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
10557 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
10558 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
10559 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
10560 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

10572 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
10573 ===================================================
10575 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
10576 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
10577 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
10578 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
10580 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10581 when g_type_init() is called.
10583 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
10584 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
10585 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
10587 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
10588 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
10589 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
10590 is a bug in application code.

10651 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
10654 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
10655 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
10656 - The parser will be in a future release.
10659 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
10660 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
10661 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

10762 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
10764 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
10766 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
10767 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
10768 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
10770 * Threading changes:
10771 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
10772 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
10774 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10775 when g_type_init() is called.
10776 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.

10854 ===================================================
10857 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
10858 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
10859 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
10860 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
10861 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10862 while loading or saving it.
10863 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
10864 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
10865 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
10868 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
10869 interfaces to dynamic types.
10872 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
10873 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
10874 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

11186 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.21.0 to GLib 2.21.1
11187 ===================================================
11190 - Support for network IO has been added, including a low-level
11191 socket API and a high-level API for network connections and
11193 - Support for read-write access with GIOStream and its subclasses.
11194 - GMount gained a pre-unmount signal.

11227 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.20.x to GLib 2.21.0
11228 ===================================================
11231 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
11232 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
11234 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
11235 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
11236 for actual socket I/O.
11237 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
11238 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
11240 * Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double
11241 types, suitable for use with GHashTable.
11243 * GArray, GPtrArray and GByteArray can be ref counted now, and have

11313 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.19.9 to GLib 2.20.0
11314 ===================================================
11316 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
11317 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
11318 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
11319 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
11320 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
11321 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
11322 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
11323 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
11324 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
11325 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
11326 object with the given URI.
11328 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316
11331 574019 GChecksum: document and guarantee hex characters in lower case

11361 the destination of a copying operation as if it did not exit before.
11362 - Be more careful when classifying files as desktop files

11609 ===================================================
11611 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
11612 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
11613 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
11614 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
11615 also uses less memory overall.
11617 * Make g_poll available as public api
11619 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
11620 that a GError is set or unset
11622 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
11624 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
11625 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
11627 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

11705 ===================================================
11707 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
11708 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
11709 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
11710 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
11711 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
11712 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

13033 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.10.0 to GLib 2.10.1
13034 ===================================================
13037 314794 Broken pthread detection on Darwin [Gregor Riepl]
13038 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
13039 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
13041 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
13044 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
13045 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
13047 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
13050 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
13051 ==================================================
13053 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
13054 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
13055 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
13056 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
13058 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
13059 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
13061 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
13062 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
13065 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
13066 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
13067 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
13068 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
13069 support ELF visibility attributes.
13071 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
13072 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
13074 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
13075 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
13076 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
13077 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
13078 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
13079 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
13080 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
13081 to help with the transition.

13116 * Memory management:
13117 Runtime debugging support: The slice allocator
13118 can be turned off by setting G_SLICE=always-malloc
13119 in the environment. Zeroing of freed memory can
13120 now be turned on at runtime by setting

13157 * Change g_filename_display_name and
13158 g_filename_display_basename to use the Unicode

13250 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
13251 variants [Martyn Russell]
13254 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
13255 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
13258 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
13261 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64

13282 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
13283 =================================================
13285 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
13286 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
13287 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
13289 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
13290 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
13293 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
13294 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
13295 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
13296 "stutter stepping".
13297 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
13299 * Memory management:
13300 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
13301 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
13302 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
13303 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
13304 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
13305 never worked as intended.
13306 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
13307 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
13308 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
13309 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
13310 efficient and scalable implementation.
13311 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
13313 * Pattern matching:
13314 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
13315 unnecessary recursion.
13318 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
13319 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
13320 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
13323 * g_thread_foreach:
13324 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
13327 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
13328 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
13329 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
13333 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
13334 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
13335 since they are in glib.h

13356 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
13357 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

13514 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
13515 =================================================
13517 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
13518 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
13519 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
13520 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
13521 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
13522 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
13523 included through <glib.h>.
13525 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
13526 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
13527 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
13528 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
13529 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
13531 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
13532 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
13533 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
13534 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
13535 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
13537 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
13538 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
13539 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
13540 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
13542 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
13543 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
13544 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
13546 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
13547 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
13548 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
13549 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
13550 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
13551 header files and were never intended to be exported.
13553 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
13554 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
13555 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
13556 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
13558 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
13559 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
13560 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
13561 stderr if you need to see them.
13563 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
13564 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
13565 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
13566 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
13567 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
13568 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
13570 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
13571 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
13572 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
13573 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
13574 work with future versions of GLib.
13577 - GOption, a commandline option parser
13578 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
13579 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
13580 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
13581 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
13583 * Miscellaneous new functions
13584 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
13585 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
13586 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
13587 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
13588 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
13589 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
13590 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
13591 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
13592 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime

13600 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
13603 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
13604 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
13605 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
13606 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
13607 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
