18 Overview of changes in GLib 2.44.0
19 ===================================
21 With the exception of translation and documentation, there have been no
22 changes since the prerelease.
25 730188 gsocket: Document FD ownership with g_socket_new_from_fd()
38 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
39 ===================================
41 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
42 before the release of 2.44.0.
44 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
46 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
47 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
48 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
49 default in the next cycle.
51 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
53 * new GTask:completed property
55 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
56 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
59 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
60 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows

68 745634 [GNotifications] Use themed icon as icon-name
95 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
96 ===================================
98 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
99 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
100 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
102 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
103 effective busy state.
105 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

151 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.4
152 ==================================
154 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
155 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
156 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.

644 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
645 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
646 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

894 * Translations updates:
901 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
902 ====================================================
904 * GSettings fixes/improvements
906 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
908 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
909 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
912 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
913 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
916 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
918 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
920 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
923 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
924 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
926 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
928 * Applications/Actions
930 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
931 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
934 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
935 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
937 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
938 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
939 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
940 not itself at fault for the errant call)
944 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
945 accesses that are performed in common situations
947 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
948 are installed/removed
950 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
951 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
953 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
954 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
959 - ignore qualified tags, as above
961 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
962 that test programs don't pick them up
964 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
966 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
967 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
968 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
969 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
971 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
972 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
974 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
975 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
976 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
980 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
982 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
984 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
986 Translations updated:

1006 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

1036 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1037 ====================================================
1039 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1043 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1045 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1046 them can restart the application with an action (via
1051 - new API for launching subprocesses
1053 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1055 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1057 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1058 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1060 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1062 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1064 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1065 actions and listing apps and actions
1067 - bash tab completion is supported
1069 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1071 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1072 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1074 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1075 DBusActivatable=true
1077 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1078 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1083 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1085 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1086 class and inotify backend
1088 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1089 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1091 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1096 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
1097 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
1098 when there are invalid schemas installed
1100 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
1104 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
1105 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
1107 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
1110 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
1111 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
1112 semantics of the interface in each case
1114 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
1115 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
1117 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
1119 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
1120 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
1121 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
1122 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1126 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1129 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1131 * Portability improvements
1133 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1135 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1136 actually support it (like Hurd)
1138 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1140 * Other small API changes/additions
1142 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1143 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1144 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1146 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1148 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1149 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1151 * GMainContext/GSource
1153 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1155 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1156 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1157 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1158 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1159 broken and should probably be fixed.
1161 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1162 require use of a linked list
1166 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1167 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1168 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1170 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1174 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1175 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1176 gphoto, archive, at least).
1178 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1180 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1183 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1184 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1185 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1187 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1189 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1191 * Many documentation improvements
1194 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
1195 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
1196 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

1249 What's new in Glib 2.38
1250 ========================
1252 * Application support
1254 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1255 desktop entry specification
1257 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1258 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1259 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1261 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1262 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1263 to launch other applications
1265 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1266 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1270 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1271 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1272 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1273 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1274 any problems that this may have caused.
1276 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1277 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1278 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1279 (allowing memory savings)
1281 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1282 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1283 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1285 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1286 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1289 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1290 without destroying one of the objects involved
1294 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1295 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1296 with a finite number of cases
1298 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1299 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1301 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1302 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1303 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1304 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1307 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1311 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1312 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1313 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1315 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1317 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1318 and an API to check them
1320 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1321 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1323 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1324 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1328 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1329 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1330 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1333 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1334 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1335 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1337 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1342 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1343 allow for regexp matching on streams
1345 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1346 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1347 g_variant_new_printf()
1351 - we can now generate TAP output
1353 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1354 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1356 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1361 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1486 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1487 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1488 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1489 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

1583 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
1585 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
1586 and will trigger a warning.
1589 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

1630 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
1632 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
1634 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
1636 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

1671 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
1672 ==============================================
1674 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1675 and a parser API for them is now provided
1677 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1678 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1679 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1831 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1832 ==============================================
1834 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1835 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1836 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1837 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1838 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1842 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1843 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1845 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1846 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1847 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
1848 * documentation fixes
1849 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
1852 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
1853 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h

1866 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1867 ==============================================
1869 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1871 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1872 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1874 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang

2003 * Translation updates:
2018 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2019 ==============================================
2021 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2022 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2023 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2024 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2025 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2027 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2028 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2029 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2030 particular, are incompatible.
2032 * Bugs fixed in this release:

2066 * Translation updates:
2077 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2078 ==============================================
2080 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2081 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2082 causing regressions in applications.
2084 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2085 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2086 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2089 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2090 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2091 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2093 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2095 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
2097 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
2099 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
2101 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
2103 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
2105 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
2107 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
2109 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
2111 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2161 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
2162 ==============================================
2164 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
2165 give feedback if they cause trouble:
2167 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
2168 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2170 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
2172 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

3008 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3009 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3010 to an overridden property
3011 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3012 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3014 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
3015 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

3062 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3063 moved to GtkApplication.
3065 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3066 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3067 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3068 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3070 * lots of documentation improvements
3072 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3074 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3075 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3077 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3079 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()

3083 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3084 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)

3103 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
3104 ==============================================
3106 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
3107 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
3108 There have also been many related improvements to action group
3111 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
3112 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
3113 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
3116 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
3117 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
3118 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
3119 through an idle on the context.
3121 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
3122 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3123 fixes here and there.
3125 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3126 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3127 API available outside GLib
3129 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

3166 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
3168 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
3170 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
3171 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
3172 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
3174 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
3177 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
3178 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
3179 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
3182 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
3183 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

3193 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3194 =================================================
3196 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3197 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3199 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3200 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3201 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3202 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3203 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3204 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3205 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3206 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3207 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3208 required (and has been deprecated)
3209 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3210 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3211 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3212 without explicit initialisation.
3213 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3214 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3215 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3217 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3218 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3219 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3220 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3221 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3222 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3223 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3225 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3226 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3227 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3228 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3229 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3230 - other implementation details changed
3232 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3233 deprecated/ directory.
3235 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3236 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3237 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3239 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3240 platform over a year ago).
3242 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3243 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3245 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3246 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3248 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3249 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3250 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3251 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3254 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3255 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3258 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3260 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3261 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3263 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3264 in a multi-threaded program
3266 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3267 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3270 - drop -uninstalled variants
3271 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3273 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3274 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3275 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3277 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3279 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3280 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3283 - many code generation updates and improvements
3284 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3287 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3288 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3290 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3292 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3295 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3296 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3298 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3299 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3301 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3303 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3307 * Partial list of bugs closed:
3308 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3733 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
3734 ==============================================
3736 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3737 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3738 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3739 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3740 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3741 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3743 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3744 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3746 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3748 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
3750 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

3801 * Updated translations:
3810 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3811 ==============================================
3814 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3815 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3816 an 'object manager' pattern:
3817 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3818 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3819 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3820 And server-side implementations:
3821 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3822 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3823 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3827 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3831 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3832 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3833 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3834 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3837 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3838 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3841 * Unix-specific APIs:
3842 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3843 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3844 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3845 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3846 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3847 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3869 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
3871 * Updated translations
3878 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3879 ==============================================
3882 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3883 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3884 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3887 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3888 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3889 situations has been improved
3892 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3893 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3896 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3897 match strcmp() semantics
3898 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3899 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3900 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3902 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3903 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3906 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3908 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3910 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3911 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3912 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4250 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4251 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

4274 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4275 ==============================================
4277 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4278 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4280 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4281 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4283 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4285 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4287 g_settings_get_range
4288 g_settings_range_check
4289 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4291 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4292 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4294 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4295 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4297 g_main_context_invoke
4298 g_main_context_invoke_full
4300 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4301 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4302 looking for default applications.
4304 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4305 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4306 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4307 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4309 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4310 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4311 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4568 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4569 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4570 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4572 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4573 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4574 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4575 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4578 There have been many other improvements, however:
4581 - vastly improved test coverage
4582 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4583 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4584 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

4633 =====================================================
4635 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4636 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4637 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4638 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4639 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4640 | required (and will be along soon). |
4641 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4644 - cleanup automake setup
4645 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4646 - various docs fixups
4647 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

4702 =====================================================
4704 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4705 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4706 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4707 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4708 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4711 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4712 -Bsymbolic-functions
4713 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4714 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4715 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4716 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4717 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4720 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4721 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4722 nobody was doing that.
4723 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4725 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4726 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4728 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4729 have a serial number
4730 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4732 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4734 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4735 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4736 has finished running on GDBus services.
4737 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4738 this due to the obvious race)
4739 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4740 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4743 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4744 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4745 arguments and different behaviour
4746 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4747 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4748 strings instead of utf8 strings
4749 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4750 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4751 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4752 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4753 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4754 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4755 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4756 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4757 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4760 - improved documentation
4761 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4762 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4763 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4764 overridden using <override>.
4765 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4767 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4768 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4769 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4770 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4771 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4772 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4773 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4774 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4775 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4776 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4777 being set due to a premature free
4778 - command line tool: bash completion support
4779 - chain up in _finalize
4780 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4782 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4783 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4784 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4786 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4787 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4788 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4789 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4790 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4794 - always intern GBinding prop names
4795 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4796 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4797 - GNode docs improvements
4798 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4799 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4800 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4804 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4805 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4806 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4807 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4808 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4809 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4810 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4811 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4813 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4814 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4815 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4816 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4817 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4818 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section

5504 ===================================================
5507 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
5508 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
5509 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
5510 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
5511 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
5512 while loading or saving it.
5513 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects

6242 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
6243 ===================================================
6245 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
6246 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
6247 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
6248 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
6249 also uses less memory overall.
6251 * Make g_poll available as public api
6253 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
6254 that a GError is set or unset
6256 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6258 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6259 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6261 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
6262 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

7900 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
7901 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
7902 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
7903 efficient and scalable implementation.
7904 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
7907 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
7908 unnecessary recursion.

7917 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
7920 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
7921 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
7922 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
7926 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
7927 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
7928 since they are in glib.h
