1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.2 to 2.37.3
2 ==============================================
4 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
6 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
7 build the unmodified source
9 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
11 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
12 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
13 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
20 698375 - D-Bus async properties
21 700350 - timestamp issue
22 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
23 700035 - new API for instance private data
25 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
26 ==============================================
28 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
29 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
31 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
32 and will trigger a warning.
35 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation
37 - Set prgname to appid for services
40 549783 gtester lacks framework for tests with data files
41 692848 Fix property example in gobject tutorial

53 701878 Check wakeup() before iteration(TRUE) doesn't block
69 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
70 ==============================================
72 * add support for installed tests:
73 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
75 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
76 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
78 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
80 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
82 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
83 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
84 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
86 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
102 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
103 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance

115 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
117 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
118 ==============================================
120 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
121 and a parser API for them is now provided
123 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
124 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
125 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

173 * Translation updates:
185 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
186 ==============================================
188 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
190 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
193 - fix some 'available since' annotations
195 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
198 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
199 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
201 * Translations updated:
217 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
218 ==============================================
220 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
221 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
222 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
223 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

247 * Translation updates:
277 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
278 ==============================================
280 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
281 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
282 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
283 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
284 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
288 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
289 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
291 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
292 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
293 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
294 * documentation fixes
295 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
298 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

312 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
313 ==============================================
315 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
317 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
318 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
320 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
321 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
323 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
336 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
337 ==============================================
339 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
342 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
343 ready at a specified monotonic time
345 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
347 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
350 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
351 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

449 * Translation updates:
464 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
465 ==============================================
467 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
468 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
469 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
470 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
471 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
473 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
474 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
475 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
476 particular, are incompatible.
478 * Bugs fixed in this release:

512 * Translation updates:
523 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
524 ==============================================
526 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
527 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
528 causing regressions in applications.
530 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
531 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
532 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
535 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
536 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
537 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
539 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
541 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
543 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
545 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
547 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
549 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
551 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
553 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
555 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
557 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

607 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
608 ==============================================
610 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
611 give feedback if they cause trouble:
613 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
614 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
616 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
618 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
620 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
622 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
624 * GLib version macros updated
626 * Update to Unicode 6.2

1454 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
1455 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1456 to an overridden property
1457 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
1458 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
1460 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
1461 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

1505 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
1506 ==============================================
1508 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
1509 moved to GtkApplication.
1511 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1512 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1513 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1514 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1516 * lots of documentation improvements
1518 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1520 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
1521 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
1523 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
1525 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
1527 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
1529 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
1530 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
1533 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
1534 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

1538 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
1539 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

1545 * Translations updated:
1549 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
1550 ==============================================
1552 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
1553 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1554 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1557 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1558 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1559 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1562 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1563 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1564 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1565 through an idle on the context.
1567 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1568 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1569 fixes here and there.
1571 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1572 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1573 API available outside GLib
1575 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1616 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1617 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1618 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1620 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1623 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1624 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

1637 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1639 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1640 =================================================
1642 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1643 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1645 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1646 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1647 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1648 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1649 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1650 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1651 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1652 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1653 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1654 required (and has been deprecated)
1655 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1656 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1657 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1658 without explicit initialisation.
1659 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1660 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1661 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1663 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1664 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1665 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1666 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1667 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1668 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1669 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1671 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1672 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1673 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1674 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1675 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1676 - other implementation details changed
1678 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1679 deprecated/ directory.
1681 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1682 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1683 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1685 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1686 platform over a year ago).
1688 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1689 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1691 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1692 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1694 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1695 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1696 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1697 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1700 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1701 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1704 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1706 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1707 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1709 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1710 in a multi-threaded program
1712 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1713 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1716 - drop -uninstalled variants
1717 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1719 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1720 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1721 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1723 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1725 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1726 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1729 - many code generation updates and improvements
1730 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1733 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1734 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1736 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1738 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1741 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1742 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1744 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1745 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1747 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1749 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1753 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1754 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

2180 ==============================================
2182 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
2183 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
2184 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
2185 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
2186 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
2187 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
2189 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
2190 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
2192 * Access to quarks is now lockless
2194 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

2247 * Updated translations:
2256 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
2257 ==============================================
2260 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
2261 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
2262 an 'object manager' pattern:
2263 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
2264 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
2265 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
2266 And server-side implementations:
2267 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
2268 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
2269 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
2273 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2277 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2278 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2279 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2280 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2283 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2284 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2287 * Unix-specific APIs:
2288 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2289 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2290 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2291 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2292 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2293 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

2317 * Updated translations
2324 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2325 ==============================================
2328 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2329 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2330 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2333 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2334 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2335 situations has been improved
2338 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2339 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2342 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2343 match strcmp() semantics
2344 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2345 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2346 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2348 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2349 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2352 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2354 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2356 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2357 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2358 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2689 - Support environment passing
2692 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
2693 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
2695 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
2696 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
2697 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
2701 158725 free linked list with data

2714 * Translation updates:
2720 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2721 ==============================================
2723 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2724 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2726 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2727 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2729 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2731 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2733 g_settings_get_range
2734 g_settings_range_check
2735 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2737 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2738 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2740 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2741 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2743 g_main_context_invoke
2744 g_main_context_invoke_full
2746 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2747 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2748 looking for default applications.
2750 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2751 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2752 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2753 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2755 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2756 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2757 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

3018 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
3019 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
3020 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
3021 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
3024 There have been many other improvements, however:
3027 - vastly improved test coverage

3048 without mapping functions
3049 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
3052 - improve closure support for bindings

3147 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
3148 =====================================================
3150 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3151 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
3152 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
3153 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
3154 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
3157 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
3158 -Bsymbolic-functions
3159 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
3160 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
3161 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
3162 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
3163 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3166 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
3167 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
3168 nobody was doing that.
3169 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
3171 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
3172 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
3174 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
3175 have a serial number
3176 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
3178 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
3180 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
3181 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
3182 has finished running on GDBus services.
3183 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
3184 this due to the obvious race)
3185 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
3186 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
3189 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
3190 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
3191 arguments and different behaviour
3192 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
3193 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
3194 strings instead of utf8 strings
3195 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
3196 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
3197 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
3198 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
3199 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
3200 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
3201 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
3202 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
3203 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
3206 - improved documentation
3207 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
3208 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
3209 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
3210 overridden using <override>.
3211 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
3213 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
3214 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
3215 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
3216 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
3217 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
3218 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
3219 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
3220 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
3221 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
3222 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
3223 being set due to a premature free
3224 - command line tool: bash completion support
3225 - chain up in _finalize
3226 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
3228 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
3229 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
3230 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
3232 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
3233 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
3234 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
3235 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
3236 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
3240 - always intern GBinding prop names
3241 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
3242 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
3243 - GNode docs improvements
3244 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
3245 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3246 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
3250 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
3251 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
3252 - improved tests for GKeyfile
3253 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
3254 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
3255 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
3256 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
3257 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
3259 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
3260 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
3261 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
3262 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
3263 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
3264 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
3265 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
3266 610784 array test failing
3267 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
3268 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

4704 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4705 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4707 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4708 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

6329 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
6332 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
