268 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
269 ==================================
271 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
272 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
273 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
274 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
276 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
277 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
278 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
280 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
281 environment variable.
283 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
284 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

429 * Translation updates:
441 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
442 ==================================
444 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
445 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
446 is unavailable or undesired.
448 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
449 glib-networking will also be required.
451 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
452 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag

503 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
504 ==================================
506 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
507 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
508 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
509 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
511 This release corrects only this problem.
513 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
514 ==================================
516 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
517 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
518 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
520 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

859 * Translation updates:
866 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
867 ==================================
869 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
870 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
871 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
872 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
873 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
874 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
876 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
877 have seen major improvements.
879 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
880 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
881 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
884 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
886 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
888 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
890 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
891 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
892 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
893 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
894 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
895 you use the --strict option.
897 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
898 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
899 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
901 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
903 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
904 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
905 default handlers for a generic supertype.

951 ===================================
953 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
954 before the release of 2.44.0.
956 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
958 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
959 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
960 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
961 default in the next cycle.
963 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
965 * new GTask:completed property

1008 ===================================
1010 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1011 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1012 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1014 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1015 effective busy state.

1064 ==================================
1066 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
1067 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
1068 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1070 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1071 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

1557 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1558 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1813 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1814 ====================================================
1816 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1818 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1820 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1821 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1824 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1825 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1828 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1830 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1832 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1835 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1836 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1838 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1840 * Applications/Actions
1842 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1843 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1846 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1847 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1849 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1850 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1851 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1852 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1856 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1857 accesses that are performed in common situations
1859 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1860 are installed/removed
1862 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1863 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1865 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1866 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1871 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1873 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1874 that test programs don't pick them up
1876 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1878 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1879 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1880 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1881 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1883 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1884 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1886 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1887 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1888 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1892 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1894 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1896 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
1898 Translations updated:

1909 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
1910 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
1911 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
1912 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
1913 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
1914 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
1915 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
1916 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
1917 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
1918 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
1919 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE

1948 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1949 ====================================================
1951 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1955 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1957 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1958 them can restart the application with an action (via
1963 - new API for launching subprocesses
1965 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1967 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1969 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1970 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1972 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1974 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1976 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1977 actions and listing apps and actions
1979 - bash tab completion is supported
1981 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1983 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1984 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1986 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1987 DBusActivatable=true
1989 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1990 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1995 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1997 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1998 class and inotify backend
2000 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2001 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2003 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2008 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2009 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2010 when there are invalid schemas installed
2012 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2016 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2017 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2019 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2022 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2023 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2024 semantics of the interface in each case
2026 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2027 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2029 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2031 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2032 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2033 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2034 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2038 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2041 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2043 * Portability improvements
2045 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2047 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2048 actually support it (like Hurd)
2050 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2052 * Other small API changes/additions
2054 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2055 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2056 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2058 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2060 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2061 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2063 * GMainContext/GSource
2065 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2067 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2068 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2069 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2070 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2071 broken and should probably be fixed.
2073 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2074 require use of a linked list
2078 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2079 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2080 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2082 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2086 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2087 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2088 gphoto, archive, at least).
2090 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2092 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2095 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2096 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2097 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2099 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2101 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2103 * Many documentation improvements
2106 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2107 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2108 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2161 What's new in Glib 2.38
2162 ========================
2164 * Application support
2166 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2167 desktop entry specification
2169 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2170 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2171 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2173 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2174 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2175 to launch other applications
2177 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2178 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2182 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2183 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2184 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2185 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2186 any problems that this may have caused.
2188 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2189 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2190 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2191 (allowing memory savings)
2193 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2194 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2195 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2197 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2198 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2201 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2202 without destroying one of the objects involved
2206 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2207 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2208 with a finite number of cases
2210 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2211 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2213 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2214 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2215 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2216 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2219 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2223 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2224 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2225 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2227 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2229 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2230 and an API to check them
2232 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2233 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2235 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2236 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2240 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2241 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2242 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2245 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2246 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2247 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2249 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2254 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2255 allow for regexp matching on streams
2257 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2258 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2259 g_variant_new_printf()
2263 - we can now generate TAP output
2265 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2266 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2268 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2273 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2395 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2396 ==============================================
2398 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2399 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2400 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2401 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2403 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2404 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2407 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2409 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2410 the key was locked down)

2468 ==============================================
2470 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
2472 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
2473 build the unmodified source
2475 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
2477 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
2478 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
2479 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
2486 698375 - D-Bus async properties

2492 ==============================================
2494 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2495 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2497 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2498 and will trigger a warning.

2536 ==============================================
2538 * add support for installed tests:
2539 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
2541 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
2542 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2544 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2546 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2548 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
2549 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
2550 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
2552 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

2586 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2587 and a parser API for them is now provided
2589 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2590 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2591 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2651 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
2652 ==============================================
2654 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
2656 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
2657 the destination file
2659 - fix some 'available since' annotations
2661 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

2683 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2684 ==============================================
2686 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2687 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2688 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2689 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2743 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2744 ==============================================
2746 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2747 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2748 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2749 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2750 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2754 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2755 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

2778 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
2779 ==============================================
2781 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2783 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2784 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2786 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2787 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2789 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2802 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2803 ==============================================
2805 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2808 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2809 ready at a specified monotonic time
2811 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
2813 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

2915 * Translation updates:
2930 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2931 ==============================================
2933 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2934 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2935 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2936 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2937 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2939 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2940 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2941 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2942 particular, are incompatible.
2944 * Bugs fixed in this release:
2945 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

2989 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2990 ==============================================
2992 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2993 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2994 causing regressions in applications.
2996 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2997 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2998 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3001 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3002 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may

3920 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3921 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3922 to an overridden property
3923 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3924 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3926 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

3972 ==============================================
3974 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3975 moved to GtkApplication.
3977 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3978 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3979 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3980 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3982 * lots of documentation improvements
3984 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3986 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3987 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3989 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3991 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3993 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3995 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3996 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)

4011 * Translations updated:
4015 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4016 ==============================================
4018 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4019 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4020 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4023 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4024 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4025 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4028 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4029 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4030 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4031 through an idle on the context.
4033 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4034 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4035 fixes here and there.
4037 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4038 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4039 API available outside GLib
4041 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4083 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4084 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4086 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4089 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4090 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4105 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4106 =================================================
4108 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4109 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4111 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4112 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4113 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4114 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4115 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4116 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4117 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4118 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4119 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4120 required (and has been deprecated)
4121 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4122 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4123 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4124 without explicit initialisation.
4125 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4126 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4127 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4129 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4130 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4131 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4132 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4133 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4134 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4135 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4137 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4138 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4139 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4140 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4141 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4142 - other implementation details changed
4144 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4145 deprecated/ directory.
4147 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4148 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4149 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4151 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4152 platform over a year ago).
4154 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4155 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4157 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4158 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4160 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4161 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4162 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4163 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4166 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4167 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4170 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4172 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4173 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4175 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4176 in a multi-threaded program
4178 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4179 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4182 - drop -uninstalled variants
4183 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4185 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4186 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4187 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4189 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4191 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4192 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4195 - many code generation updates and improvements
4196 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4199 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4200 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4202 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4204 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4207 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4208 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4210 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4211 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4213 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4215 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4219 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4220 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4646 ==============================================
4648 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4649 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4650 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4651 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4652 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4653 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4655 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4656 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4658 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4660 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

4713 * Updated translations:
4722 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4723 ==============================================
4726 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4727 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4728 an 'object manager' pattern:
4729 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4730 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4731 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4732 And server-side implementations:
4733 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4734 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4735 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4739 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4743 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4744 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4745 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4746 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4749 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4750 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4753 * Unix-specific APIs:
4754 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4755 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4756 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4757 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4758 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4759 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4790 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4791 ==============================================
4794 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4795 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4796 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4799 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4800 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4801 situations has been improved
4804 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4805 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4808 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4809 match strcmp() semantics
4810 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4811 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4812 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4814 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4815 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4818 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4820 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4822 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4823 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4824 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5102 ==============================================
5104 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5105 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5110 g_get_monotonic_time
5112 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5115 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5117 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5119 g_simple_async_result_take_error

5154 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5155 - Support environment passing
5158 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5159 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5161 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5162 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5163 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5167 158725 free linked list with data

5180 * Translation updates:
5186 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5187 ==============================================
5189 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5190 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5192 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5193 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5195 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5197 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5199 g_settings_get_range
5200 g_settings_range_check
5201 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5203 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5204 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5206 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5207 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5209 g_main_context_invoke
5210 g_main_context_invoke_full
5212 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5213 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5214 looking for default applications.
5216 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5217 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5218 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5219 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5221 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5222 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5223 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5482 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5484 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5485 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5486 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5487 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5490 There have been many other improvements, however:
5493 - vastly improved test coverage
5494 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5495 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5496 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5545 =====================================================
5547 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5548 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5549 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5550 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5551 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5552 | required (and will be along soon). |
5553 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5556 - cleanup automake setup
5557 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5558 - various docs fixups

5577 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5578 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5581 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5613 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5614 =====================================================
5616 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5617 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5618 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5619 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5620 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5623 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5624 -Bsymbolic-functions
5625 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5626 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5627 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5628 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5629 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5632 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5633 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5634 nobody was doing that.
5635 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5637 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5638 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5640 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5641 have a serial number
5642 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5644 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5646 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5647 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5648 has finished running on GDBus services.
5649 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5650 this due to the obvious race)
5651 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5652 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5655 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5656 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5657 arguments and different behaviour
5658 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5659 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5660 strings instead of utf8 strings
5661 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5662 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5663 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5664 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5665 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5666 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5667 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5668 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5669 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5672 - improved documentation
5673 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5674 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5675 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5676 overridden using <override>.
5677 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5679 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5680 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5681 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5682 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5683 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5684 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5685 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5686 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5687 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5688 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5689 being set due to a premature free
5690 - command line tool: bash completion support
5691 - chain up in _finalize
5692 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5694 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5695 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5696 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5698 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5699 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5700 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5701 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5702 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5706 - always intern GBinding prop names
5707 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5708 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5709 - GNode docs improvements
5710 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5711 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5712 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5716 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5717 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5718 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5719 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5720 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5721 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5722 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5723 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5725 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5726 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5727 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5728 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5729 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5730 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5731 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
5732 610784 array test failing
5733 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

6426 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6427 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6430 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6431 interfaces to dynamic types.
