87 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
89 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
90 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
91 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
93 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
94 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
96 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
97 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
99 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
100 third-party code should now be using
101 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
103 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
105 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)

112 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
113 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
115 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
117 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
119 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
120 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
122 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
124 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
125 of packaged libraries (!951)
127 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

598 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
599 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
600 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
601 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

669 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
670 ==================================
672 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
673 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
674 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
675 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
677 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
678 directory for each unit test. (#538)
680 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
682 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
684 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
686 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
687 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
688 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
689 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
691 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
692 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
694 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
695 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
696 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
698 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
700 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
701 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
704 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
705 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
707 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
708 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
709 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
711 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
712 portal backends. (!317)
714 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
717 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
719 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
722 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
724 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
727 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
728 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
729 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
731 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
732 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
734 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
735 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
736 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
737 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
739 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
741 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

950 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
951 ==================================
953 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
954 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
955 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
956 with Meson or autotools. See:
957 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
959 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
961 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
962 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
964 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
966 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
968 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
969 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
970 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
971 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
974 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
975 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
976 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
977 !265 Network monitor again
978 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
979 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
980 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
981 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
982 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
983 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
985 * Translation updates:
995 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
996 ==================================
998 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
999 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1000 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1001 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1003 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1005 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1007 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1009 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1011 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1012 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1014 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1016 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1017 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1018 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1021 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1023 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1026 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1027 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
1028 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

2198 ==================================
2200 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
2201 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
2202 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
2203 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
2205 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
2206 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
2207 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
2209 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
2210 environment variable.
2212 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
2213 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

2433 ==================================
2435 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2436 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2437 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2438 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2440 This release corrects only this problem.

2445 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2446 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2447 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2449 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2795 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2796 ==================================
2798 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2799 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2800 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2801 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2802 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2803 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2805 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2806 have seen major improvements.
2808 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2809 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2810 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2813 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2815 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2817 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2819 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2820 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2821 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2822 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2823 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2824 you use the --strict option.
2826 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2827 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2828 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2830 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2832 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2833 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2834 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2880 ===================================
2882 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2883 before the release of 2.44.0.
2885 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2887 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2888 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2889 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2890 default in the next cycle.
2892 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

2937 ===================================
2939 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro

3485 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3486 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3487 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

3742 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3743 ====================================================
3745 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3747 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3749 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3750 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3753 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3754 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3757 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3759 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3761 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3764 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3765 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3767 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3769 * Applications/Actions
3771 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3772 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3775 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3776 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3778 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3779 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3780 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3781 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3785 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3786 accesses that are performed in common situations
3788 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3789 are installed/removed
3791 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3792 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3794 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3795 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3800 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3802 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3803 that test programs don't pick them up
3805 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3807 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3808 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3809 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3810 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3812 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3813 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3815 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3816 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3817 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3821 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3823 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3825 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3827 Translations updated:

3846 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3847 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3877 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3878 ====================================================
3880 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3884 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3886 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3887 them can restart the application with an action (via
3892 - new API for launching subprocesses
3894 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3896 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3898 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3899 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3901 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3903 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3905 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3906 actions and listing apps and actions
3908 - bash tab completion is supported
3910 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3912 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3913 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3915 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3916 DBusActivatable=true
3918 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3919 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3924 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3926 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3927 class and inotify backend
3929 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3930 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3932 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3937 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3938 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3939 when there are invalid schemas installed
3941 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3945 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3946 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3948 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3951 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3952 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3953 semantics of the interface in each case
3955 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3956 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3958 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3960 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3961 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3962 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3963 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3967 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3970 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3972 * Portability improvements
3974 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3976 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3977 actually support it (like Hurd)
3979 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3981 * Other small API changes/additions
3983 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3984 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3985 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3987 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3989 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3990 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3992 * GMainContext/GSource
3994 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3996 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3997 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3998 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3999 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4000 broken and should probably be fixed.
4002 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4003 require use of a linked list
4007 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4008 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4009 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4011 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4015 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4016 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4017 gphoto, archive, at least).
4019 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4021 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4024 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4025 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4026 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4028 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4030 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4032 * Many documentation improvements
4035 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4036 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4037 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

4090 What's new in Glib 2.38
4091 ========================
4093 * Application support
4095 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4096 desktop entry specification
4098 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4099 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4100 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4102 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4103 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4104 to launch other applications
4106 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4107 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4111 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4112 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4113 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4114 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4115 any problems that this may have caused.
4117 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4118 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4119 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4120 (allowing memory savings)
4122 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4123 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4124 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4126 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4127 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4130 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4131 without destroying one of the objects involved
4135 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4136 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4137 with a finite number of cases
4139 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4140 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4142 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4143 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4144 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4145 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4148 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4152 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4153 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4154 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4156 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4158 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4159 and an API to check them
4161 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4162 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4164 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4165 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4169 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4170 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4171 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4174 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4175 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4176 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4178 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4183 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4184 allow for regexp matching on streams
4186 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4187 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4188 g_variant_new_printf()
4192 - we can now generate TAP output
4194 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4195 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4197 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4202 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4327 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
4328 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4329 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4330 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

4424 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
4426 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
4427 and will trigger a warning.

4471 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
4473 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
4475 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
4477 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

4512 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
4513 ==============================================
4515 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4516 and a parser API for them is now provided
4518 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4519 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4520 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4612 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
4613 ==============================================
4615 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4616 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4617 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4618 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4672 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4673 ==============================================
4675 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4676 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4677 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4678 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4679 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4683 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4684 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4686 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4687 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4688 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4689 * documentation fixes
4690 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4693 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

4707 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4708 ==============================================
4710 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4712 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4713 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4715 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4716 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4718 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4731 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4732 ==============================================
4734 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

4738 ready at a specified monotonic time
4740 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4742 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
4745 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
4746 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

4844 * Translation updates:
4859 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4860 ==============================================
4862 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4863 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4864 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4865 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4866 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4868 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4869 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4870 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4871 particular, are incompatible.
4873 * Bugs fixed in this release:
4874 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
4875 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

4918 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4919 ==============================================
4921 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4922 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4923 causing regressions in applications.
4925 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4926 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4927 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4930 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4931 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4932 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4934 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4936 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4938 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4940 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4942 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4944 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4946 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4948 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4950 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4952 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5002 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
5003 ==============================================
5005 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5006 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5008 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5009 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5011 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5013 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

5849 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5850 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5851 to an overridden property

5900 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5901 ==============================================
5903 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5904 moved to GtkApplication.
5906 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5907 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5908 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5909 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5911 * lots of documentation improvements
5913 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5915 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5916 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5918 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5920 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5922 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5924 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5925 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5928 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5929 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5933 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5934 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

5940 * Translations updated:
5944 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5945 ==============================================
5947 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5948 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5949 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5952 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5953 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5954 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5957 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5958 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5959 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5960 through an idle on the context.
5962 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5963 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5964 fixes here and there.
5966 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5967 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5968 API available outside GLib
5970 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6007 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
6009 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
6011 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6012 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6013 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6015 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6018 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6019 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6020 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6023 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
6024 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
6027 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib

6031 - various GIO file and stream fixes
6032 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
6034 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6035 =================================================
6037 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6038 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6040 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6041 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6042 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6043 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6044 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6045 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6046 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6047 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6048 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6049 required (and has been deprecated)
6050 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6051 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6052 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6053 without explicit initialisation.
6054 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6055 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6056 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6058 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6059 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6060 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6061 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6062 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6063 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6064 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6066 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6067 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6068 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6069 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6070 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6071 - other implementation details changed
6073 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6074 deprecated/ directory.
6076 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6077 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6078 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6080 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6081 platform over a year ago).
6083 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6084 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6086 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6087 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6089 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6090 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6091 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6092 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6095 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6096 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6099 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6101 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6102 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6104 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6105 in a multi-threaded program
6107 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6108 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6111 - drop -uninstalled variants
6112 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6114 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6115 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6116 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6118 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6120 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6121 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6124 - many code generation updates and improvements
6125 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6128 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6129 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6131 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6133 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6136 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6137 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6139 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6140 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6142 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6144 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
6148 * Partial list of bugs closed:

6574 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6575 ==============================================
6577 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6578 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6579 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6580 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6581 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6582 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6584 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6585 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6587 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6589 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6591 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
6593 * Introspection improvements:
6594 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder

6642 * Updated translations:
6651 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6652 ==============================================
6655 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6656 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6657 an 'object manager' pattern:
6658 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6659 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6660 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6661 And server-side implementations:
6662 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6663 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6664 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6668 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6672 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6673 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6674 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6675 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6678 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6679 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6682 * Unix-specific APIs:
6683 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6684 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6685 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6686 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6687 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6688 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
6691 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

6700 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
6701 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
6702 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
6703 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
6704 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
6705 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
6706 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
6707 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

6710 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6712 * Updated translations
6719 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6720 ==============================================
6723 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6724 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6725 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6728 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6729 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6730 situations has been improved
6733 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6734 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6737 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6738 match strcmp() semantics
6739 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6740 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6741 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6743 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6744 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6747 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6749 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6751 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6752 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6753 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7033 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
7034 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
7039 g_get_monotonic_time
7041 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
7044 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
7046 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
7048 g_simple_async_result_take_error
7049 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
7050 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
7052 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

7083 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
7084 - Support environment passing
7087 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7088 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7090 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7091 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7092 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
7096 158725 free linked list with data
7097 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

7106 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
7107 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
7109 * Translation updates:
7115 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7116 ==============================================
7118 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7119 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7121 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7122 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7124 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7126 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7128 g_settings_get_range
7129 g_settings_range_check
7130 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7132 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7133 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7135 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7136 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7138 g_main_context_invoke
7139 g_main_context_invoke_full
7141 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7142 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7143 looking for default applications.
7145 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7146 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7147 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7148 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7150 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7151 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7152 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
7155 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

7407 =====================================================
7409 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7410 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7411 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7413 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7414 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7415 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7416 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7419 There have been many other improvements, however:
7422 - vastly improved test coverage
7423 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7424 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7425 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

7474 =====================================================
7476 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7477 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7478 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7479 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7480 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7481 | required (and will be along soon). |
7482 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7485 - cleanup automake setup
7486 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7487 - various docs fixups
7488 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7494 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
7495 - add g_settings_reset()
7496 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
7499 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

7501 - proper support for file descriptor passing
7502 - new flags parameter for sending messages
7503 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
7504 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
7505 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7506 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7507 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7510 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7514 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
7515 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
7518 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

7543 =====================================================
7545 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7546 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7547 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7548 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7549 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7552 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7553 -Bsymbolic-functions
7554 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7555 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7556 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7557 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7558 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7561 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7562 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7563 nobody was doing that.
7564 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7566 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7567 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7569 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7570 have a serial number
7571 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7573 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7575 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7576 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7577 has finished running on GDBus services.
7578 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7579 this due to the obvious race)
7580 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7581 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7584 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7585 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7586 arguments and different behaviour
7587 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7588 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7589 strings instead of utf8 strings
7590 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7591 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7592 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7593 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7594 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7595 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7596 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7597 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7598 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7601 - improved documentation
7602 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7603 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7604 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7605 overridden using <override>.
7606 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7608 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7609 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7610 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7611 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7612 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7613 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7614 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7615 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7616 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7617 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7618 being set due to a premature free
7619 - command line tool: bash completion support
7620 - chain up in _finalize
7621 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7623 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7624 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7625 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7627 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7628 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7629 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7630 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7631 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7635 - always intern GBinding prop names
7636 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7637 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7638 - GNode docs improvements
7639 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7640 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7641 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7645 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7646 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7647 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7648 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7649 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7650 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7651 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7652 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7654 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7655 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7656 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7657 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7658 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

8345 ===================================================
8348 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8349 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8350 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8351 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8352 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
8353 while loading or saving it.
8354 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
8355 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8356 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8359 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8360 interfaces to dynamic types.
8363 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
8364 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
8365 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10717 =================================================
10719 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10720 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10721 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10723 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10724 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10727 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10728 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10729 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10730 "stutter stepping".
10731 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10733 * Memory management:
10734 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10735 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10736 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10737 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10738 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10739 never worked as intended.
10740 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10741 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10742 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10743 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10744 efficient and scalable implementation.
10745 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10747 * Pattern matching:
10748 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10749 unnecessary recursion.
10752 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10753 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10754 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10757 * g_thread_foreach:
10758 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10761 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10762 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10763 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10767 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10768 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10769 since they are in glib.h
