79 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.1
80 ==================================
82 * Fix to a regression in listing GIcon fallbacks (#1513)

108 #1488 ‘O_CLOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
109 #1506 error: redefinition of typedef 'GKqueueFileMonitor'
111 * Translation updates:
121 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
122 ==================================
124 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
125 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
126 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
127 with Meson or autotools. See:
128 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
130 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
132 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
133 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
135 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
137 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
139 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
140 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
141 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
142 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
145 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
146 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
147 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
148 !265 Network monitor again
149 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file

152 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
153 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
154 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
156 * Translation updates:
166 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
167 ==================================
169 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
170 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
171 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
172 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
174 * Many minor documentation fixes.
176 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
178 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
180 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
182 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
183 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
185 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
187 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
188 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
189 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
192 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
194 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
197 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
198 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
199 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
200 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
201 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback
202 #972 Mismatch between gint64 and int64_t on 64-bit macOS/BSD
203 !251 gtestdbus: Fix watcher crash on FreeBSD
204 #1492 gcc-8: -Wcast-function-type: new warnings for g_list_copy_deep()
205 !252 tests: fix gnotification tests broken due to the recent icon name fallback changes
206 #328 filesystem::{free,size,used} not set for full FAT fs

213 #1488 ‘O_CLOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
214 !241 glib-mkenums: forbid @filename@/@basename@ in fhead and ftail
215 !240 gtimer: Ensure arithmetic is correctly signed for ISO 8601 parsing
216 #1452 GFileInfo: unable to retrieve correct modification time of links and mounted volumes on Windows
217 !234 DOC: Documentation fix in GTask description
218 #1363 Meson: Review cross compilation properties

221 !229 Fix up g_bytes_compare() documentation
222 #1476 g_stat - possbile memory corruption causing SEGFAULT
223 !199 Update TLS documentation
224 #1474 g_test_incomplete() makes test_case_run() return FALSE
225 #1475 glib/tests/atomic.c test_types() trips -Werror=bad-function-cast on Debian armel
226 #1472 Test for BROKEN_IP_MREQ_SOURCE_STRUCT is broken on Windows / Mingw
227 !220 date test: Use g_test_skip(), not g_test_incomplete()
228 #1467 malloc difference causes refstring test to fail on FreeBSD

232 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
233 !206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
234 #1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error

1369 ==================================
1371 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1372 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1373 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1374 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1376 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1377 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1378 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1380 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1381 environment variable.
1383 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1384 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1546 is unavailable or undesired.
1548 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

1603 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1604 ==================================
1606 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1607 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1608 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1609 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1611 This release corrects only this problem.
1613 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1614 ==================================
1616 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1617 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around

1966 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1967 ==================================
1969 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1970 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1971 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1972 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1973 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1974 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1976 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1977 have seen major improvements.
1979 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1980 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1981 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1984 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1986 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1988 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1990 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1991 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1992 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1993 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1994 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1995 you use the --strict option.
1997 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1998 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1999 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2001 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2003 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2004 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2005 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2051 ===================================
2053 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2054 before the release of 2.44.0.
2056 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2058 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2059 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2060 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2061 default in the next cycle.
2063 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

2657 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2658 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2913 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2914 ====================================================
2916 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2918 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2920 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2921 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2924 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2925 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2928 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2930 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2932 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2935 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2936 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2938 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2940 * Applications/Actions
2942 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2943 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2946 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2947 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2949 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2950 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2951 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2952 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2956 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2957 accesses that are performed in common situations
2959 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2960 are installed/removed
2962 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2963 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2965 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2966 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2971 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2973 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2974 that test programs don't pick them up
2976 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2978 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2979 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2980 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2981 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2983 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2984 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2986 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2987 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2988 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2992 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2994 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2996 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2998 Translations updated:

3048 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3049 ====================================================
3051 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3055 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3057 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3058 them can restart the application with an action (via
3063 - new API for launching subprocesses
3065 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3067 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3069 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3070 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3072 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3074 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3076 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3077 actions and listing apps and actions
3079 - bash tab completion is supported
3081 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3083 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3084 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3086 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3087 DBusActivatable=true
3089 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3090 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3095 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3097 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3098 class and inotify backend
3100 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3101 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3103 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3108 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3109 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3110 when there are invalid schemas installed
3112 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3116 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3117 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3119 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3122 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3123 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3124 semantics of the interface in each case
3126 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3127 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3129 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3131 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3132 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3133 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3134 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3138 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3141 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3143 * Portability improvements
3145 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3147 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3148 actually support it (like Hurd)
3150 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3152 * Other small API changes/additions
3154 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3155 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3156 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3158 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3160 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3161 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3163 * GMainContext/GSource
3165 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3167 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3168 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3169 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3170 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3171 broken and should probably be fixed.
3173 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3174 require use of a linked list
3178 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3179 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3180 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3182 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3186 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3187 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3188 gphoto, archive, at least).
3190 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3192 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3195 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3196 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3197 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3199 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3201 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3203 * Many documentation improvements
3206 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3207 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3208 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3261 What's new in Glib 2.38
3262 ========================
3264 * Application support
3266 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3267 desktop entry specification
3269 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3270 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3271 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3273 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3274 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3275 to launch other applications
3277 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3278 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3282 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3283 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3284 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3285 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3286 any problems that this may have caused.
3288 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3289 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3290 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3291 (allowing memory savings)
3293 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3294 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3295 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3297 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3298 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3301 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3302 without destroying one of the objects involved
3306 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3307 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3308 with a finite number of cases
3310 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3311 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3313 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3314 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3315 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3316 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3319 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3323 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3324 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3325 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3327 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3329 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3330 and an API to check them
3332 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3333 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3335 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3336 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3340 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3341 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3342 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3345 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3346 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3347 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3349 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3354 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3355 allow for regexp matching on streams
3357 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3358 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3359 g_variant_new_printf()
3363 - we can now generate TAP output
3365 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3366 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3368 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3373 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3498 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3499 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3500 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3501 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

3592 ==============================================
3594 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3595 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3597 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3598 and will trigger a warning.

3642 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3644 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3646 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3648 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

3683 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3684 ==============================================
3686 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3687 and a parser API for them is now provided
3689 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3690 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3691 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3756 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3757 the destination file
3759 - fix some 'available since' annotations

3783 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3784 ==============================================
3786 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3787 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3788 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3789 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3843 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3844 ==============================================
3846 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3847 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3848 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3849 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3850 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3854 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3855 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3857 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3858 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3859 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3860 * documentation fixes
3861 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3864 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3878 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3879 ==============================================
3881 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3883 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3884 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3886 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3887 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3889 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3902 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6

4030 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4031 ==============================================
4033 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4034 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4035 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4036 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4037 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4039 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4040 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4041 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4042 particular, are incompatible.
4044 * Bugs fixed in this release:
4045 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
4046 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

4089 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4090 ==============================================
4092 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4093 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4094 causing regressions in applications.
4096 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4097 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4098 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4101 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4102 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4103 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4105 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4107 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4109 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4111 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4113 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4115 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4117 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4119 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4121 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4123 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4173 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
4174 ==============================================
4176 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4177 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4179 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4180 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4182 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4184 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

5020 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5021 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5022 to an overridden property
5023 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5024 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

5071 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5072 ==============================================
5074 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5075 moved to GtkApplication.
5077 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5078 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5079 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5080 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5082 * lots of documentation improvements
5084 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5086 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5087 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5089 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5091 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5093 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5095 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5096 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5099 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates

5115 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5116 ==============================================
5118 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5119 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5120 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5123 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5124 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5125 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5128 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5129 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5130 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5131 through an idle on the context.
5133 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5134 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5135 fixes here and there.
5137 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5138 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5139 API available outside GLib

5186 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5189 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5190 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

5205 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5206 =================================================
5208 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5209 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5211 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5212 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5213 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5214 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5215 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5216 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5217 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5218 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5219 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5220 required (and has been deprecated)
5221 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5222 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5223 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5224 without explicit initialisation.
5225 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5226 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5227 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5229 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5230 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5231 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5232 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5233 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5234 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5235 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5237 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5238 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5239 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5240 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5241 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5242 - other implementation details changed
5244 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5245 deprecated/ directory.
5247 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5248 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5249 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5251 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5252 platform over a year ago).
5254 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5255 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5257 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5258 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5260 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5261 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5262 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5263 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5266 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5267 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5270 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5272 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5273 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5275 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5276 in a multi-threaded program
5278 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5279 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5282 - drop -uninstalled variants
5283 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5285 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5286 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5287 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5289 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5291 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5292 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5295 - many code generation updates and improvements
5296 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5299 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5300 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5302 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5304 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5307 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5308 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5310 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5311 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5313 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5315 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5319 * Partial list of bugs closed:

5745 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5746 ==============================================
5748 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5749 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5750 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5751 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5752 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5753 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5755 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5756 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5758 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5760 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5762 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
5764 * Introspection improvements:
5765 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder

5813 * Updated translations:
5822 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5823 ==============================================
5826 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5827 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5828 an 'object manager' pattern:
5829 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5830 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5831 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5832 And server-side implementations:
5833 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5834 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5835 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5839 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5843 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5844 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5845 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5846 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5849 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5850 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5853 * Unix-specific APIs:
5854 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5855 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5856 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5857 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5858 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5859 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5873 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
5874 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
5875 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
5876 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
5877 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
5878 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

5881 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
5883 * Updated translations
5890 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5891 ==============================================
5894 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5895 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5896 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5899 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5900 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5901 situations has been improved
5904 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5905 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5908 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5909 match strcmp() semantics
5910 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5911 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5912 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5914 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5915 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5918 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5920 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5922 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5923 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5924 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6204 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6205 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6210 g_get_monotonic_time
6212 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6215 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6217 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
6219 g_simple_async_result_take_error
6220 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
6221 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
6223 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
6226 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
6227 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
6228 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
6230 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
6231 g_get_user_runtime_dir

6250 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
6251 ==============================================
6254 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6255 - Support environment passing
6258 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6259 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6261 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6262 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6263 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6267 158725 free linked list with data
6268 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

6277 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
6278 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
6280 * Translation updates:
6286 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6287 ==============================================
6289 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6290 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6292 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6293 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6295 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6297 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6299 g_settings_get_range
6300 g_settings_range_check
6301 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6303 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6304 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6306 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6307 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6309 g_main_context_invoke
6310 g_main_context_invoke_full
6312 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6313 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6314 looking for default applications.
6316 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6317 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6318 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6319 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6321 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6322 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6323 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
6326 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

6578 =====================================================
6580 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6581 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6582 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6584 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6585 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6586 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6587 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6590 There have been many other improvements, however:
6593 - vastly improved test coverage
6594 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6595 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6596 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

6645 =====================================================
6647 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6648 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6649 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6650 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6651 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6652 | required (and will be along soon). |
6653 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6656 - cleanup automake setup
6657 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6658 - various docs fixups
6659 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6665 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
6666 - add g_settings_reset()
6667 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
6670 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

6672 - proper support for file descriptor passing
6673 - new flags parameter for sending messages
6674 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
6675 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
6676 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6677 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6678 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6681 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6684 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
6685 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
6686 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
6689 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
6690 617483 Credentials passing
6691 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

6713 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6714 =====================================================
6716 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6717 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6718 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6719 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6720 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6723 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6724 -Bsymbolic-functions
6725 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6726 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6727 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6728 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6729 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6732 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6733 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6734 nobody was doing that.
6735 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6737 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6738 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6740 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6741 have a serial number
6742 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6744 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6746 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6747 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6748 has finished running on GDBus services.
6749 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6750 this due to the obvious race)
6751 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6752 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6755 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6756 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6757 arguments and different behaviour
6758 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6759 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6760 strings instead of utf8 strings
6761 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6762 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6763 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6764 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6765 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6766 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6767 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6768 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6769 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6772 - improved documentation
6773 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6774 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6775 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6776 overridden using <override>.
6777 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6779 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6780 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6781 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6782 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6783 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6784 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6785 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6786 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6787 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6788 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6789 being set due to a premature free
6790 - command line tool: bash completion support
6791 - chain up in _finalize
6792 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6794 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6795 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6796 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6798 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6799 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6800 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6801 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6802 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6806 - always intern GBinding prop names
6807 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6808 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6809 - GNode docs improvements
6810 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6811 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6812 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6816 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6817 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6818 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6819 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6820 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6821 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6822 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6823 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6825 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6826 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6827 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6828 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6829 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

7516 ===================================================
7519 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7520 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7521 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7522 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7523 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7524 while loading or saving it.
7525 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7526 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7527 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7530 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7531 interfaces to dynamic types.
7534 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7535 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
7536 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
