704 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
705 ==================================
707 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
708 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
709 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
710 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
712 This release corrects only this problem.
714 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
715 ==================================
717 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
718 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
719 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
721 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1067 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1068 ==================================
1070 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1071 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1072 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1073 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1074 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1075 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1077 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1078 have seen major improvements.
1080 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1081 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1082 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1085 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1087 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1089 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1091 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1092 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1093 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1094 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1095 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1096 you use the --strict option.
1098 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1099 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1100 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1102 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1104 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1105 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1106 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1152 ===================================
1154 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1155 before the release of 2.44.0.
1157 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1159 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1160 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1161 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1162 default in the next cycle.

1212 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1213 scope (working only on GCC and clang).

1754 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1755 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1756 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1757 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1758 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1759 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2014 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2015 ====================================================
2017 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2019 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2021 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2022 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2025 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2026 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2029 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2031 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2033 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2036 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2037 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2039 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2041 * Applications/Actions
2043 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2044 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2047 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2048 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2050 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2051 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2052 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2053 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2057 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2058 accesses that are performed in common situations
2060 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2061 are installed/removed
2063 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2064 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2066 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2067 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2072 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2074 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2075 that test programs don't pick them up
2077 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2079 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2080 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2081 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2082 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2084 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2085 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2087 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2088 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2089 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2093 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2095 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2097 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2099 Translations updated:
2107 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2115 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

2117 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2118 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2119 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2149 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2150 ====================================================
2152 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2156 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2158 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2159 them can restart the application with an action (via
2164 - new API for launching subprocesses
2166 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2168 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2170 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2171 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2173 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2175 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2177 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2178 actions and listing apps and actions
2180 - bash tab completion is supported
2182 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2184 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2185 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2187 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2188 DBusActivatable=true
2190 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2191 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2196 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2198 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2199 class and inotify backend
2201 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2202 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2204 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2209 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2210 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2211 when there are invalid schemas installed
2213 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2217 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2218 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2220 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2223 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2224 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2225 semantics of the interface in each case
2227 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2228 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2230 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2232 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2233 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2234 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2235 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2239 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2242 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2244 * Portability improvements
2246 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2248 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2249 actually support it (like Hurd)
2251 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2253 * Other small API changes/additions
2255 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2256 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2257 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2259 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2261 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2262 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2264 * GMainContext/GSource
2266 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2268 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2269 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2270 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2271 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2272 broken and should probably be fixed.
2274 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2275 require use of a linked list
2279 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2280 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2281 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2283 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2287 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2288 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2289 gphoto, archive, at least).
2291 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2293 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2296 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2297 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2298 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2300 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2302 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2304 * Many documentation improvements
2307 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

2363 ========================
2365 * Application support
2367 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2368 desktop entry specification
2370 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2371 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2372 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2374 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2375 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2376 to launch other applications
2378 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2379 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2383 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2384 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2385 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2386 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2387 any problems that this may have caused.
2389 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2390 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2391 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2392 (allowing memory savings)
2394 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2395 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2396 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2398 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2399 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2402 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2403 without destroying one of the objects involved
2407 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2408 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2409 with a finite number of cases
2411 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2412 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2414 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2415 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2416 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2417 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2420 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2424 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2425 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2426 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2428 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2430 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2431 and an API to check them
2433 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2434 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2436 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2437 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2441 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2442 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2443 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2446 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2447 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2448 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2450 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2455 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2456 allow for regexp matching on streams
2458 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2459 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2460 g_variant_new_printf()
2464 - we can now generate TAP output
2466 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2467 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2469 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2474 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2600 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2601 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2602 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2695 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2696 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2698 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2699 and will trigger a warning.

2743 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2745 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2747 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2749 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

2784 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2785 ==============================================
2787 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2788 and a parser API for them is now provided
2790 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2791 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2792 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2855 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
2857 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
2858 the destination file
2860 - fix some 'available since' annotations

2884 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2885 ==============================================
2887 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2888 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2889 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2890 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2944 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2945 ==============================================
2947 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2948 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2949 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2950 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2951 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2955 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2956 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
2958 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
2959 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
2960 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
2961 * documentation fixes
2962 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
2965 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

2979 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
2980 ==============================================
2982 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2984 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2985 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2987 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2988 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2990 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3003 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3004 ==============================================
3006 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3009 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3010 ready at a specified monotonic time
3012 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3014 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3017 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3018 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3116 * Translation updates:
3131 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3132 ==============================================
3134 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3135 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3136 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3137 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3138 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3140 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3141 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3142 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3143 particular, are incompatible.
3145 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3179 * Translation updates:
3190 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3191 ==============================================
3193 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3194 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3195 causing regressions in applications.
3197 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3198 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3199 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3202 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3203 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3204 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3206 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3208 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3210 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3212 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3214 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3216 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3218 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3220 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3222 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3224 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3274 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3275 ==============================================
3277 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3278 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3280 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3281 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3283 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3285 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3287 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3289 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3291 * GLib version macros updated
3293 * Update to Unicode 6.2

3643 Overview of changes from GLib 2.33.2 to 2.33.3
3644 ==============================================
3646 This release contains mostly bugfixes, cleanups and performance
3647 improvements (including many fixes contributed by Colin on the advice of
3648 Coverity). There are a few notable externally-visible changes:
3650 * Thumbnails are now in XDG_CACHE_HOME

4121 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4122 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4123 to an overridden property
4124 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4125 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4127 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4128 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4172 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4173 ==============================================
4175 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4176 moved to GtkApplication.
4178 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4179 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4180 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4181 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4183 * lots of documentation improvements
4185 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4187 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4188 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4190 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4192 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4194 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4196 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4197 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4200 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates

4205 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4206 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4212 * Translations updated:
4216 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4217 ==============================================
4219 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4220 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4221 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4224 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4225 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4226 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4229 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4230 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4231 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4232 through an idle on the context.
4234 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4235 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4236 fixes here and there.
4238 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4239 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4240 API available outside GLib
4242 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4276 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
4277 ==============================================
4279 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4281 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4283 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4284 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4285 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4287 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4290 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4291 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4292 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4295 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4296 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
4299 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
4302 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4303 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4304 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4306 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4307 =================================================
4309 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4310 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4312 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4313 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4314 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4315 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4316 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4317 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4318 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4319 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4320 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4321 required (and has been deprecated)
4322 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4323 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4324 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4325 without explicit initialisation.
4326 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4327 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4328 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4330 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4331 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4332 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4333 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4334 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4335 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4336 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4338 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4339 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4340 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4341 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4342 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4343 - other implementation details changed
4345 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4346 deprecated/ directory.
4348 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4349 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4350 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4352 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4353 platform over a year ago).
4355 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4356 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4358 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4359 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4361 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4362 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4363 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4364 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4367 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4368 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4371 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4373 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4374 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4376 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4377 in a multi-threaded program
4379 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4380 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4383 - drop -uninstalled variants
4384 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4386 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4387 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4388 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4390 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4392 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4393 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4396 - many code generation updates and improvements
4397 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4400 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4401 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4403 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4405 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4408 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4409 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4411 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4412 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4414 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4416 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4420 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4421 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4846 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4847 ==============================================
4849 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4850 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4851 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4852 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4853 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4854 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4856 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4857 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4859 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4861 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4863 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
4865 * Introspection improvements:

4914 * Updated translations:
4923 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4924 ==============================================
4927 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4928 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4929 an 'object manager' pattern:
4930 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4931 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4932 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4933 And server-side implementations:
4934 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4935 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4936 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4940 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4944 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4945 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4946 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4947 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4950 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4951 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4954 * Unix-specific APIs:
4955 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4956 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4957 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4958 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4959 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4960 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4977 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
4978 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
4979 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

4982 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
4984 * Updated translations
4991 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4992 ==============================================
4995 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4996 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4997 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5000 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5001 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5002 situations has been improved
5005 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5006 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5009 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5010 match strcmp() semantics
5011 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5012 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5013 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5015 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5016 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5019 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5021 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5023 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5024 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5025 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5405 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5407 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5408 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.

5413 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5414 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5415 looking for default applications.
5417 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5418 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5419 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5420 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5422 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5423 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5424 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5679 =====================================================
5681 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5682 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5683 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5685 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5686 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5687 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5688 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5691 There have been many other improvements, however:
5694 - vastly improved test coverage
5695 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5696 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5697 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
5700 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
5703 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
5704 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage

5745 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
5746 =====================================================
5748 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5749 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5750 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5751 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5752 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5753 | required (and will be along soon). |
5754 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5757 - cleanup automake setup
5758 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5759 - various docs fixups
5760 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5766 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5767 - add g_settings_reset()
5768 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5771 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
5772 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
5773 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5774 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5775 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5776 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5777 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5778 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5779 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5782 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5785 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
5786 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5787 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5790 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
5791 617483 Credentials passing
5792 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

5814 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5815 =====================================================
5817 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5818 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5819 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5820 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5821 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5824 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5825 -Bsymbolic-functions
5826 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5827 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5828 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5829 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5830 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5833 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5834 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5835 nobody was doing that.
5836 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5838 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5839 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5841 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5842 have a serial number
5843 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5845 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5847 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5848 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5849 has finished running on GDBus services.
5850 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5851 this due to the obvious race)
5852 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5853 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5856 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5857 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5858 arguments and different behaviour
5859 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5860 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5861 strings instead of utf8 strings
5862 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5863 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5864 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5865 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5866 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5867 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5868 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5869 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5870 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5873 - improved documentation
5874 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5875 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5876 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5877 overridden using <override>.
5878 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5880 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5881 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5882 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5883 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5884 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5885 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5886 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5887 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5888 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5889 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5890 being set due to a premature free
5891 - command line tool: bash completion support
5892 - chain up in _finalize
5893 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5895 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5896 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5897 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5899 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5900 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5901 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5902 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5903 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5907 - always intern GBinding prop names
5908 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5909 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5910 - GNode docs improvements
5911 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5912 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5913 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5917 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5918 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5919 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5920 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5921 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5922 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5923 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5924 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5926 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5927 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5928 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5929 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5930 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

6617 ===================================================
6620 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6621 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6622 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6623 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6624 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6625 while loading or saving it.
6626 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6627 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6628 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6631 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6632 interfaces to dynamic types.
6635 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6636 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
6637 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
