682 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
683 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
684 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
685 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
687 This release corrects only this problem.
689 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
690 ==================================
692 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
693 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
694 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
696 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1042 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1043 ==================================
1045 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1046 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1047 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1048 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1049 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1050 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1052 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1053 have seen major improvements.
1055 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1056 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1057 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1060 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1062 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1064 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1066 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1067 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1068 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1069 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1070 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1071 you use the --strict option.
1073 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1074 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1075 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1077 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1079 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1080 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1081 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1127 ===================================
1129 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1130 before the release of 2.44.0.
1132 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1134 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1135 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1136 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1137 default in the next cycle.
1139 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1184 ===================================
1186 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1187 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1188 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1190 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1191 effective busy state.

1733 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1734 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1989 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1990 ====================================================
1992 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1994 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1996 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1997 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2000 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2001 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2004 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2006 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2008 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2011 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2012 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2014 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2016 * Applications/Actions
2018 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2019 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2022 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2023 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2025 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2026 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2027 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2028 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2032 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2033 accesses that are performed in common situations
2035 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2036 are installed/removed
2038 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2039 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2041 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2042 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2047 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2049 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2050 that test programs don't pick them up
2052 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2054 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2055 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2056 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2057 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2059 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2060 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2062 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2063 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2064 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2068 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2070 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2072 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2074 Translations updated:

2085 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
2086 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
2087 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
2088 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is

2090 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

2092 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2093 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2094 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2124 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2125 ====================================================
2127 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2131 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2133 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2134 them can restart the application with an action (via
2139 - new API for launching subprocesses
2141 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2143 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2145 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2146 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2148 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2150 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2152 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2153 actions and listing apps and actions
2155 - bash tab completion is supported
2157 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2159 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2160 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2162 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2163 DBusActivatable=true
2165 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2166 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2171 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2173 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2174 class and inotify backend
2176 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2177 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2179 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2184 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2185 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2186 when there are invalid schemas installed
2188 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2192 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2193 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2195 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2198 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2199 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2200 semantics of the interface in each case
2202 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2203 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2205 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2207 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2208 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2209 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2210 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2214 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2217 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2219 * Portability improvements
2221 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2223 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2224 actually support it (like Hurd)
2226 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2228 * Other small API changes/additions
2230 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2231 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2232 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2234 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2236 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2237 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2239 * GMainContext/GSource
2241 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2243 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2244 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2245 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2246 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2247 broken and should probably be fixed.
2249 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2250 require use of a linked list
2254 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2255 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2256 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2258 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2262 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2263 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2264 gphoto, archive, at least).
2266 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2268 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2271 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2272 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2273 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2275 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2277 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2279 * Many documentation improvements
2282 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2283 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2284 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2337 What's new in Glib 2.38
2338 ========================
2340 * Application support
2342 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2343 desktop entry specification
2345 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2346 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2347 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2349 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2350 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2351 to launch other applications
2353 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2354 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2358 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2359 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2360 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2361 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2362 any problems that this may have caused.
2364 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2365 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2366 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2367 (allowing memory savings)
2369 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2370 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2371 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2373 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2374 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2377 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2378 without destroying one of the objects involved
2382 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2383 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2384 with a finite number of cases
2386 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2387 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2389 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2390 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2391 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2392 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2395 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2399 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2400 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2401 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2403 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2405 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2406 and an API to check them
2408 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2409 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2411 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2412 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2416 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2417 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2418 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2421 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2422 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2423 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2425 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2430 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2431 allow for regexp matching on streams
2433 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2434 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2435 g_variant_new_printf()
2439 - we can now generate TAP output
2441 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2442 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2444 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2449 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2575 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2576 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2577 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2670 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2671 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2673 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2674 and will trigger a warning.

2718 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2720 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2722 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2724 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

2759 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2760 ==============================================
2762 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2763 and a parser API for them is now provided
2765 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2766 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2767 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2860 ==============================================
2862 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2863 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2864 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2865 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2919 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2920 ==============================================
2922 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2923 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2924 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2925 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2926 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2930 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2931 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
2933 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
2934 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
2935 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

2954 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
2955 ==============================================
2957 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2959 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2960 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2962 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2963 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2965 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2978 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6

3106 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3107 ==============================================
3109 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3110 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3111 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3112 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3113 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3115 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3116 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3117 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3118 particular, are incompatible.
3120 * Bugs fixed in this release:
3121 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
3122 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

3165 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3166 ==============================================
3168 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3169 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3170 causing regressions in applications.
3172 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3173 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3174 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3177 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3178 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3179 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3181 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3183 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3185 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3187 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3189 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3191 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3193 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3195 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3197 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3199 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3249 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3250 ==============================================
3252 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3253 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3255 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3256 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3258 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3260 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3262 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3264 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed

4096 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4097 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4098 to an overridden property
4099 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4100 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4102 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

4147 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4148 ==============================================
4150 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4151 moved to GtkApplication.
4153 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4154 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4155 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4156 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4158 * lots of documentation improvements
4160 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4162 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4163 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4165 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4167 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4169 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4171 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4172 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4175 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4176 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4180 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4181 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4187 * Translations updated:
4191 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4192 ==============================================
4194 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4195 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4196 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4199 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4200 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4201 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4204 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4205 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4206 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4207 through an idle on the context.
4209 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4210 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4211 fixes here and there.
4213 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4214 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4215 API available outside GLib
4217 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4281 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4282 =================================================
4284 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4285 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4287 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4288 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4289 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4290 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4291 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4292 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4293 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4294 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4295 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4296 required (and has been deprecated)
4297 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4298 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4299 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4300 without explicit initialisation.
4301 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4302 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4303 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4305 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4306 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4307 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4308 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4309 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4310 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4311 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4313 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4314 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4315 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4316 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4317 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4318 - other implementation details changed
4320 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4321 deprecated/ directory.
4323 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4324 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4325 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4327 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4328 platform over a year ago).
4330 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4331 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4333 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4334 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4336 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4337 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4338 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4339 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4342 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4343 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4346 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4348 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4349 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4351 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4352 in a multi-threaded program
4354 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4355 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4358 - drop -uninstalled variants
4359 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4361 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4362 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4363 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4365 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4367 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4368 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4371 - many code generation updates and improvements
4372 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4375 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4376 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4378 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4380 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4383 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4384 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4386 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4387 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4389 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4391 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4395 * Partial list of bugs closed:

4822 ==============================================
4824 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4825 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4826 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4827 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4828 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4829 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4831 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4832 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4834 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4836 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4838 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
4840 * Introspection improvements:

4889 * Updated translations:
4898 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4899 ==============================================
4902 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4903 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4904 an 'object manager' pattern:
4905 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4906 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4907 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4908 And server-side implementations:
4909 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4910 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4911 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4915 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4919 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4920 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4921 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4922 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4925 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4926 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4929 * Unix-specific APIs:
4930 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4931 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4932 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4933 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4934 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4935 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
4938 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
4939 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed
4940 635694 gdbus aborting due to unauthorized socket in DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

4942 642935 g_date_time_format() prints wrong value for %z and timezone -0800
4943 643134 g_dbus_message_copy
4944 644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
4945 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
4946 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
4947 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
4948 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
4949 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
4950 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
4951 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
4952 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
4953 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
4954 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
4955 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
4956 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
4957 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
4959 * Updated translations
4966 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4967 ==============================================
4970 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4971 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4972 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4975 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4976 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4977 situations has been improved
4980 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4981 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4984 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4985 match strcmp() semantics
4986 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4987 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4988 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4990 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4991 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4994 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4996 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4998 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4999 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5000 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5280 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5281 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5286 g_get_monotonic_time
5288 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5291 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5293 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5295 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5296 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5297 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5299 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
5302 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
5303 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5304 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE

5326 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5327 ==============================================
5330 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5331 - Support environment passing
5334 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5335 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5337 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5338 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5339 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5343 158725 free linked list with data
5344 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

5353 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5354 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5356 * Translation updates:
5362 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5363 ==============================================
5365 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5366 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5368 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5369 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5371 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5373 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5375 g_settings_get_range
5376 g_settings_range_check
5377 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5379 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5380 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5382 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5383 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5385 g_main_context_invoke
5386 g_main_context_invoke_full
5388 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5389 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5390 looking for default applications.
5392 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5393 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5394 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5395 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5397 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5398 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5399 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
5402 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

5654 =====================================================
5656 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5657 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5658 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5660 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5661 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5662 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5663 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5666 There have been many other improvements, however:
5669 - vastly improved test coverage
5670 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5671 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5672 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5721 =====================================================
5723 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5724 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5725 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5726 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5727 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5728 | required (and will be along soon). |
5729 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5732 - cleanup automake setup
5733 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5734 - various docs fixups
5735 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5741 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5742 - add g_settings_reset()
5743 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5746 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

5748 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5749 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5750 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5751 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5752 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5753 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5754 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5757 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5760 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
5761 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5762 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5765 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
5766 617483 Credentials passing

5790 =====================================================
5792 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5793 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5794 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5795 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5796 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5799 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5800 -Bsymbolic-functions
5801 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5802 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5803 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5804 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5805 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5808 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5809 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5810 nobody was doing that.
5811 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5813 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5814 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5816 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5817 have a serial number
5818 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5820 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5822 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5823 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5824 has finished running on GDBus services.
5825 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5826 this due to the obvious race)
5827 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5828 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5831 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5832 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5833 arguments and different behaviour
5834 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5835 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5836 strings instead of utf8 strings
5837 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5838 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5839 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5840 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5841 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5842 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5843 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5844 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5845 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5848 - improved documentation
5849 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5850 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5851 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5852 overridden using <override>.
5853 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5855 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5856 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5857 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5858 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5859 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5860 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5861 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5862 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5863 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5864 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5865 being set due to a premature free
5866 - command line tool: bash completion support
5867 - chain up in _finalize
5868 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5870 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5871 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5872 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5874 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5875 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5876 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5877 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5878 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5882 - always intern GBinding prop names
5883 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5884 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5885 - GNode docs improvements
5886 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5887 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5888 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5892 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5893 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5894 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5895 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5896 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5897 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5898 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5899 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5901 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5902 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5903 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5904 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5905 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5906 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5907 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

6592 ===================================================
6595 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6596 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6597 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6598 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6599 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6600 while loading or saving it.
6601 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6602 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6603 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6606 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6607 interfaces to dynamic types.
6610 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6611 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
