1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2 ==================================
4 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
5 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
6 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
7 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
9 * Many minor documentation fixes.
11 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
13 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
15 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
17 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
18 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
20 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
22 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
23 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
24 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
27 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
29 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.

1204 ==================================
1206 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1207 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1208 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1209 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1211 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1212 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1213 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1215 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1216 environment variable.
1218 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1219 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1381 is unavailable or undesired.
1383 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

1438 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1439 ==================================
1441 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1442 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1443 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1444 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1446 This release corrects only this problem.
1448 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1449 ==================================
1451 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1452 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1453 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1455 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1801 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1802 ==================================
1804 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1805 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1806 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1807 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1808 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1809 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1811 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1812 have seen major improvements.
1814 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1815 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1816 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1819 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1821 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1823 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1825 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1826 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1827 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1828 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1829 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1830 you use the --strict option.
1832 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1833 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1834 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1836 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1838 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1839 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1840 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1886 ===================================
1888 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1889 before the release of 2.44.0.
1891 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1893 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1894 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1895 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1896 default in the next cycle.
1898 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1943 ===================================
1945 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1946 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1947 scope (working only on GCC and clang).

2748 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2749 ====================================================
2751 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2753 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2755 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2756 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2759 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2760 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2763 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2765 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2767 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2770 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2771 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2773 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2775 * Applications/Actions
2777 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2778 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2781 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2782 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2784 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2785 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2786 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2787 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2791 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2792 accesses that are performed in common situations
2794 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2795 are installed/removed
2797 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2798 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2800 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2801 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2806 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2808 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2809 that test programs don't pick them up
2811 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2813 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2814 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2815 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2816 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2818 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2819 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2821 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2822 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2823 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2827 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2829 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2831 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2833 Translations updated:
2841 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
2842 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
2843 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
2844 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
2845 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
2846 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
2847 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
2848 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
2849 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
2850 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
2851 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2852 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2853 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
2854 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
2855 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
2856 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake

2883 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2884 ====================================================
2886 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2890 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2892 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2893 them can restart the application with an action (via
2898 - new API for launching subprocesses
2900 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2902 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2904 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2905 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2907 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2909 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2911 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2912 actions and listing apps and actions
2914 - bash tab completion is supported
2916 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2918 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2919 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2921 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2922 DBusActivatable=true
2924 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2925 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2930 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2932 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2933 class and inotify backend
2935 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2936 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2938 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2943 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2944 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2945 when there are invalid schemas installed
2947 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2951 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2952 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2954 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2957 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2958 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2959 semantics of the interface in each case
2961 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2962 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2964 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2966 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2967 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2968 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2969 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2973 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2976 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2978 * Portability improvements
2980 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2982 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2983 actually support it (like Hurd)
2985 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2987 * Other small API changes/additions
2989 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2990 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2991 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2993 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2995 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2996 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2998 * GMainContext/GSource
3000 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3002 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3003 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3004 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3005 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3006 broken and should probably be fixed.
3008 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3009 require use of a linked list
3013 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3014 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3015 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3017 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3021 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3022 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3023 gphoto, archive, at least).
3025 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3027 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3030 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3031 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3032 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3034 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3036 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3038 * Many documentation improvements
3041 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3042 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3043 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3096 What's new in Glib 2.38
3097 ========================
3099 * Application support
3101 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3102 desktop entry specification
3104 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3105 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3106 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3108 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3109 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3110 to launch other applications
3112 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3113 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3117 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3118 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3119 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3120 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3121 any problems that this may have caused.
3123 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3124 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3125 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3126 (allowing memory savings)
3128 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3129 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3130 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3132 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3133 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3136 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3137 without destroying one of the objects involved
3141 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3142 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3143 with a finite number of cases
3145 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3146 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3148 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3149 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3150 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3151 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3154 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3158 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3159 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3160 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3162 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3164 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3165 and an API to check them
3167 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3168 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3170 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3171 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3175 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3176 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3177 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3180 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3181 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3182 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3184 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3189 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3190 allow for regexp matching on streams
3192 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3193 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3194 g_variant_new_printf()
3198 - we can now generate TAP output
3200 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3201 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3203 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3208 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3330 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
3331 ==============================================
3333 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3334 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3335 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3336 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3338 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3339 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3342 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3344 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3345 the key was locked down)
3347 * Miscellaneous new api:
3348 - g_variant_new_printf
3349 - g_action_print_detailed_name
3350 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind
3353 664444 Support additional application actions in .desktop files
3354 684123 glib build only tries -D_GNU_SOURCE if glibc is detected
3355 689794 support incremental matching

3399 * Translation updates:
3402 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.2 to 2.37.3
3403 ==============================================
3405 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
3407 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
3408 build the unmodified source
3410 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
3412 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
3413 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
3414 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
3421 698375 - D-Bus async properties

3426 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
3427 ==============================================
3429 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3430 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3432 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3433 and will trigger a warning.
3436 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

3470 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
3471 ==============================================
3473 * add support for installed tests:
3474 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
3476 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
3477 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3479 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3481 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3483 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3484 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3485 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3487 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

3519 ==============================================
3521 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3522 and a parser API for them is now provided
3524 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3525 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3526 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3587 ==============================================
3589 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3591 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3592 the destination file
3594 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3596 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3618 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3619 ==============================================
3621 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3622 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3623 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3624 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3679 ==============================================
3681 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3682 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3683 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3684 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3685 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3689 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3690 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3692 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

3694 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3695 * documentation fixes
3696 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3699 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3713 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3714 ==============================================
3716 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3718 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3719 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3721 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3722 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3724 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3737 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3738 ==============================================
3740 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3743 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3744 ready at a specified monotonic time
3746 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3748 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3751 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3752 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3850 * Translation updates:
3865 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3866 ==============================================
3868 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3869 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3870 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3871 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3872 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3874 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3875 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3876 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3877 particular, are incompatible.
3879 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3913 * Translation updates:
3924 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3925 ==============================================
3927 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3928 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3929 causing regressions in applications.
3931 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3932 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3933 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3936 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3937 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3938 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3940 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3942 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3944 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3946 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3948 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3950 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3952 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3954 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3956 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3958 * Many other docs and annotations fixes
3971 649302 Add support for GNU/FreeBSD

4855 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4856 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4857 to an overridden property
4858 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4859 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4861 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

4906 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4907 ==============================================
4909 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4910 moved to GtkApplication.
4912 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4913 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4914 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4915 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4917 * lots of documentation improvements
4919 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4921 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4922 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4924 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4926 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4928 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4930 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4931 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4934 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4935 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4939 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4940 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4946 * Translations updated:
4950 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4951 ==============================================
4953 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4954 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4955 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4958 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4959 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4960 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4963 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4964 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4965 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4966 through an idle on the context.
4968 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4969 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4970 fixes here and there.
4972 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4973 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4974 API available outside GLib
4976 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5018 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5019 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5021 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

5040 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5041 =================================================
5043 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5044 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5046 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5047 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5048 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5049 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5050 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5051 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5052 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5053 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5054 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5055 required (and has been deprecated)
5056 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5057 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5058 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5059 without explicit initialisation.
5060 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5061 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5062 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5064 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5065 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5066 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5067 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5068 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5069 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5070 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5072 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5073 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5074 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5075 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5076 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5077 - other implementation details changed
5079 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5080 deprecated/ directory.
5082 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5083 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5084 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5086 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5087 platform over a year ago).
5089 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5090 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5092 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5093 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5095 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5096 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5097 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5098 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5101 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5102 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5105 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5107 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5108 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5110 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5111 in a multi-threaded program
5113 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5114 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5117 - drop -uninstalled variants
5118 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5120 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5121 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5122 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5124 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5126 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5127 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5130 - many code generation updates and improvements
5131 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5134 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5135 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5137 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5139 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5142 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5143 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5145 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5146 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5148 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5150 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5154 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5155 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5581 ==============================================
5583 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5584 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5585 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5586 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5587 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5588 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5590 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5591 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

5648 * Updated translations:
5657 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5658 ==============================================
5661 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5662 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5663 an 'object manager' pattern:
5664 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5665 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5666 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5667 And server-side implementations:
5668 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5669 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5670 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5674 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5678 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5679 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5680 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5681 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5684 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5685 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5688 * Unix-specific APIs:
5689 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5690 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5691 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5692 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5693 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5694 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5725 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5726 ==============================================
5729 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5730 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5731 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5734 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5735 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5736 situations has been improved
5739 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5740 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5743 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5744 match strcmp() semantics
5745 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5746 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5747 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5749 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5750 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5753 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5755 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5757 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5758 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5759 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6036 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
6037 ==============================================
6039 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6040 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6045 g_get_monotonic_time
6047 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6050 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6052 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

6090 - Support environment passing
6093 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6094 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6096 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6097 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6098 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6102 158725 free linked list with data
6103 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

6115 * Translation updates:
6121 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6122 ==============================================
6124 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6125 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6127 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6128 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6130 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6132 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6134 g_settings_get_range
6135 g_settings_range_check
6136 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6138 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6139 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6141 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6142 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6144 g_main_context_invoke
6145 g_main_context_invoke_full
6147 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6148 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6149 looking for default applications.
6151 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6152 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6153 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6154 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6156 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6157 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6158 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6416 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6417 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6419 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6420 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6421 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6422 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6425 There have been many other improvements, however:
6428 - vastly improved test coverage
6429 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6430 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6431 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

6480 =====================================================
6482 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6483 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6484 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6485 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6486 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6487 | required (and will be along soon). |
6488 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6491 - cleanup automake setup
6492 - rename configure.in to configure.ac

6548 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6549 =====================================================
6551 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6552 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6553 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6554 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6555 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6558 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6559 -Bsymbolic-functions
6560 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6561 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6562 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6563 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6564 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6567 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6568 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6569 nobody was doing that.
6570 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6572 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6573 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6575 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6576 have a serial number
6577 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6579 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6581 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6582 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6583 has finished running on GDBus services.
6584 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6585 this due to the obvious race)
6586 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6587 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6590 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6591 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6592 arguments and different behaviour
6593 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6594 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6595 strings instead of utf8 strings
6596 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6597 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6598 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6599 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6600 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6601 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6602 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6603 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6604 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6607 - improved documentation
6608 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6609 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6610 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6611 overridden using <override>.
6612 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6614 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6615 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6616 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6617 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6618 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6619 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6620 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6621 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6622 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6623 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6624 being set due to a premature free
6625 - command line tool: bash completion support
6626 - chain up in _finalize
6627 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6629 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6630 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6631 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6633 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6634 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6635 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6636 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6637 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6641 - always intern GBinding prop names
6642 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6643 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6644 - GNode docs improvements
6645 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6646 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6647 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6651 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6652 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6653 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6654 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6655 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6656 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6657 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6658 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6660 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6661 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6662 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6663 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6664 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6665 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6666 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6667 610784 array test failing
6668 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

7361 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7362 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7365 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7366 interfaces to dynamic types.

8093 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

8096 also uses less memory overall.

8101 that a GError is set or unset
8103 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
8105 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8106 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8108 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
