630 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
631 ==================================
633 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
634 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
635 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
636 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
638 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
639 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
640 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
642 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
643 environment variable.
645 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
646 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this
649 665446 Use g_abort() instead of abort()

806 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
807 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
808 is unavailable or undesired.
810 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

865 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
866 ==================================
868 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
869 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
870 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
871 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
873 This release corrects only this problem.
875 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
876 ==================================
878 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
879 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
880 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
882 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1228 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1229 ==================================
1231 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1232 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1233 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1234 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1235 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1236 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1238 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1239 have seen major improvements.
1241 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1242 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1243 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1246 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1248 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1250 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1252 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1253 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1254 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1255 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1256 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1257 you use the --strict option.
1259 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1260 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1261 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1263 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1265 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1266 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1267 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1353 before the release of 2.44.0.
1355 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1357 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now

1838 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
1839 ===================================
1841 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
1842 and NULL pointer dereferences.
1844 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
1845 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
1847 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
1848 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
1850 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
1851 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
1853 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
1855 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
1856 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
1858 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
1859 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
1860 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
1862 * ... and many other bug fixes.

1954 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1955 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1956 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1957 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2212 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2213 ====================================================
2215 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2217 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2219 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2220 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2223 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2224 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2227 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2229 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2231 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2234 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2235 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2237 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2239 * Applications/Actions
2241 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2242 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2245 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2246 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2248 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2249 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2250 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2251 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2255 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2256 accesses that are performed in common situations
2258 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2259 are installed/removed
2261 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2262 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2264 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2265 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2270 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2272 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2273 that test programs don't pick them up
2275 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2277 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2278 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2279 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2280 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2282 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2283 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2285 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2286 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2287 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2291 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2293 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2295 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2347 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2348 ====================================================
2350 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2354 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2356 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2357 them can restart the application with an action (via
2362 - new API for launching subprocesses
2364 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2366 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2368 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2369 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2371 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2373 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2375 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2376 actions and listing apps and actions
2378 - bash tab completion is supported
2380 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2382 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2383 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2385 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2386 DBusActivatable=true
2388 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2389 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2394 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2396 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2397 class and inotify backend
2399 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2400 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2402 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2407 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2408 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2409 when there are invalid schemas installed
2411 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2415 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2416 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2418 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2421 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2422 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2423 semantics of the interface in each case
2425 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2426 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2428 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2430 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2431 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2432 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2433 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2437 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2440 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2442 * Portability improvements
2444 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2446 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2447 actually support it (like Hurd)
2449 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2451 * Other small API changes/additions
2453 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2454 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2455 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2457 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2459 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2460 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2462 * GMainContext/GSource
2464 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2466 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2467 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2468 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2469 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2470 broken and should probably be fixed.
2472 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2473 require use of a linked list
2477 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2478 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2479 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2481 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2485 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2486 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2487 gphoto, archive, at least).
2489 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2491 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2494 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2495 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2496 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2498 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2500 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2502 * Many documentation improvements
2505 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2506 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2507 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2554 Brazilian Portuguese
2560 What's new in Glib 2.38
2561 ========================
2563 * Application support
2565 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2566 desktop entry specification
2568 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2569 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2570 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2572 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2573 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2574 to launch other applications
2576 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2577 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2581 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2582 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2583 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2584 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2585 any problems that this may have caused.
2587 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2588 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2589 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2590 (allowing memory savings)
2592 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2593 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2594 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2596 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2597 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2600 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2601 without destroying one of the objects involved
2605 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2606 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2607 with a finite number of cases
2609 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2610 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2612 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2613 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2614 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2615 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2618 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2622 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2623 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2624 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2626 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2628 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2629 and an API to check them
2631 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2632 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2634 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2635 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2639 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2640 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2641 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2644 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2645 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2646 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2648 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2653 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2654 allow for regexp matching on streams
2656 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2657 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2658 g_variant_new_printf()
2662 - we can now generate TAP output
2664 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2665 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2667 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2672 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2794 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2795 ==============================================
2797 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2798 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2799 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2800 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2802 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2803 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2806 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2808 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

2983 ==============================================
2985 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2986 and a parser API for them is now provided
2988 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2989 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2990 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3050 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3051 ==============================================
3053 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3055 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3056 the destination file
3058 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3060 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3082 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3083 ==============================================
3085 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3086 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3087 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3088 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3142 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3143 ==============================================
3145 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3146 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3147 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3148 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3149 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3153 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3154 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3156 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

3178 ==============================================
3180 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3182 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3183 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3185 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3186 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3188 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3201 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3202 ==============================================
3204 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3207 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3208 ready at a specified monotonic time
3210 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3212 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3314 * Translation updates:
3329 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3330 ==============================================
3332 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3333 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3334 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3335 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3336 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3338 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3339 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3340 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3341 particular, are incompatible.
3343 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3388 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3389 ==============================================
3391 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3392 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3393 causing regressions in applications.
3395 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3396 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3397 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3400 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3401 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3402 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3404 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3406 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3408 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3410 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3412 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3414 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3416 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3418 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3420 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3422 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3473 ==============================================
3475 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3476 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3478 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3479 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3481 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3483 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

3487 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3489 * GLib version macros updated
3491 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4316 ==============================================
4319 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4320 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4321 to an overridden property
4322 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4323 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4325 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4326 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4328 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4370 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4371 ==============================================
4373 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4374 moved to GtkApplication.
4376 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4377 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4378 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4379 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4381 * lots of documentation improvements
4383 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4385 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4386 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4388 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4390 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4392 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4394 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4395 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4398 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4399 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4403 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4404 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4405 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4406 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4407 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4408 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4410 * Translations updated:
4414 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4415 ==============================================
4417 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4418 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4419 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4422 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4423 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4424 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4427 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4428 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4429 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4430 through an idle on the context.
4432 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4433 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4434 fixes here and there.
4436 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4437 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4438 API available outside GLib
4440 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4479 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4481 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4482 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4483 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4485 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4488 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4489 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4490 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4493 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4494 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
4497 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
4500 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4501 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4502 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4504 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4505 =================================================
4507 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4508 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4510 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4511 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4512 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4513 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4514 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4515 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4516 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4517 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4518 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4519 required (and has been deprecated)
4520 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4521 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4522 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4523 without explicit initialisation.
4524 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4525 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4526 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4528 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4529 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4530 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4531 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4532 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4533 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4534 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4536 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4537 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4538 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4539 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4540 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4541 - other implementation details changed
4543 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4544 deprecated/ directory.
4546 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4547 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4548 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4550 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4551 platform over a year ago).
4553 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4554 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4556 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4557 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4559 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4560 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4561 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4562 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4565 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4566 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4569 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4571 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4572 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4574 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4575 in a multi-threaded program
4577 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4578 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4581 - drop -uninstalled variants
4582 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4584 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4585 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4586 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4588 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4590 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4591 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4594 - many code generation updates and improvements
4595 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4598 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4599 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4601 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4603 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4606 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4607 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4609 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4610 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4612 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4614 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4618 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4619 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5045 ==============================================
5047 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5048 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5049 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5050 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5051 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5052 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5054 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5055 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5057 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5059 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5061 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5112 * Updated translations:
5121 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5122 ==============================================
5125 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5126 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5127 an 'object manager' pattern:
5128 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5129 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5130 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5131 And server-side implementations:
5132 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5133 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5134 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5138 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5142 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5143 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5144 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5145 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5148 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5149 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5152 * Unix-specific APIs:
5153 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5154 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5155 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5156 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5157 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5158 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5189 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5190 ==============================================
5193 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5194 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5195 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5198 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5199 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5200 situations has been improved
5203 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5204 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5207 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5208 match strcmp() semantics
5209 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5210 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5211 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5213 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5214 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5217 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5219 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5221 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5222 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5223 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5554 - Support environment passing
5557 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5558 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5560 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5561 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5562 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5566 158725 free linked list with data

5579 * Translation updates:
5585 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5586 ==============================================
5588 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5589 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5591 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5592 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5594 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5596 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5598 g_settings_get_range
5599 g_settings_range_check
5600 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5602 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5603 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5605 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5606 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5608 g_main_context_invoke
5609 g_main_context_invoke_full
5611 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5612 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5613 looking for default applications.
5615 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5616 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5617 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5618 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5620 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5621 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5622 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5881 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5883 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5884 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5885 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5886 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very

6027 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6028 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6031 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6032 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6033 nobody was doing that.
6034 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6036 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6037 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6039 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6040 have a serial number
6041 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6043 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6045 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6046 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6047 has finished running on GDBus services.
6048 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6049 this due to the obvious race)
6050 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6051 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6054 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6055 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6056 arguments and different behaviour
6057 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6058 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6059 strings instead of utf8 strings
6060 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6061 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6062 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6063 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6064 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6065 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6066 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6067 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6068 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6071 - improved documentation
6072 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6073 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6074 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6075 overridden using <override>.
6076 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6078 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6079 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6080 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6081 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6082 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6083 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6084 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6085 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6086 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6087 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6088 being set due to a premature free
6089 - command line tool: bash completion support
6090 - chain up in _finalize
6091 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6093 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6094 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6095 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6097 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6098 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6099 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6100 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6101 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6105 - always intern GBinding prop names
6106 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6107 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6108 - GNode docs improvements
6109 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6110 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6111 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6115 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6116 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6117 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6118 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6119 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6120 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6121 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6122 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6124 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6125 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6126 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6127 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6128 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6129 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6130 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

6732 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
6733 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
6735 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
6736 when g_type_init() is called.
6737 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.

6815 ===================================================
6818 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6819 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6820 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6821 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6822 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6823 while loading or saving it.
6824 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6825 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6826 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6829 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6830 interfaces to dynamic types.
6833 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6834 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
6835 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

7554 ===================================================
7556 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7557 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7558 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7559 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7560 also uses less memory overall.
7562 * Make g_poll available as public api
7564 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7565 that a GError is set or unset
7567 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7569 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7570 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7572 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7573 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9187 =================================================
9189 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9190 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9191 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9193 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9194 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9197 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
9198 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
9199 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
9201 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
9203 * Memory management:
9204 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
9205 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
9206 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9207 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9208 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9209 never worked as intended.
9210 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9211 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9212 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9213 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9214 efficient and scalable implementation.
9215 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9218 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9219 unnecessary recursion.
9222 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:

9224 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9228 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9231 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9232 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9233 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9237 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9238 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9239 since they are in glib.h
