691 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
692 ==================================
694 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
695 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
696 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
697 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
699 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
700 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
701 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
703 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
704 environment variable.
706 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
707 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

865 ==================================
867 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
868 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
869 is unavailable or undesired.
871 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
872 glib-networking will also be required.

922 * Translation updates:
926 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
927 ==================================
929 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
930 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
931 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
932 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
934 This release corrects only this problem.
936 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
937 ==================================
939 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
940 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
941 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
943 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1289 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1290 ==================================
1292 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1293 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1294 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1295 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1296 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1297 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1299 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1300 have seen major improvements.
1302 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1303 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1304 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1307 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1309 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1311 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1313 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1314 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1315 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1316 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1317 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1318 you use the --strict option.
1320 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1321 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1322 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1324 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1326 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1327 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1328 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1373 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1374 ===================================
1376 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1377 before the release of 2.44.0.
1379 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1381 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1382 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1383 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1384 default in the next cycle.
1386 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1388 * new GTask:completed property
1390 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1391 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1431 ===================================
1433 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1434 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1435 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1437 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1438 effective busy state.
1440 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

1487 ==================================
1489 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,

1491 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1493 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1494 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

1862 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
1863 ===================================
1865 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
1866 and NULL pointer dereferences.
1868 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
1869 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
1871 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
1872 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
1874 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
1875 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
1877 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
1879 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
1880 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
1882 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
1883 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
1884 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
1886 * ... and many other bug fixes.

1978 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1979 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1980 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1981 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2236 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2237 ====================================================
2239 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2241 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2243 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2244 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2247 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2248 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2251 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2253 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2255 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2258 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2259 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2261 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2263 * Applications/Actions
2265 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2266 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2269 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2270 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2272 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2273 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2274 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2275 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2279 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2280 accesses that are performed in common situations
2282 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2283 are installed/removed
2285 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2286 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2288 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2289 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2294 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2296 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2297 that test programs don't pick them up
2299 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2301 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2302 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2303 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2304 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2306 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2307 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2309 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2310 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2311 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2315 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2317 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2319 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2371 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2372 ====================================================
2374 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2378 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2380 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2381 them can restart the application with an action (via
2386 - new API for launching subprocesses
2388 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2390 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2392 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2393 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2395 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2397 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2399 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2400 actions and listing apps and actions
2402 - bash tab completion is supported
2404 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2406 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2407 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2409 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2410 DBusActivatable=true
2412 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2413 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2418 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2420 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2421 class and inotify backend
2423 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2424 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2426 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2431 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2432 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2433 when there are invalid schemas installed
2435 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2439 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2440 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2442 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2445 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2446 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2447 semantics of the interface in each case
2449 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2450 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2452 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2454 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2455 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2456 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2457 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2461 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2464 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2466 * Portability improvements
2468 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2470 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2471 actually support it (like Hurd)
2473 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2475 * Other small API changes/additions
2477 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2478 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2479 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2481 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2483 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2484 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2486 * GMainContext/GSource
2488 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2490 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2491 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2492 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2493 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2494 broken and should probably be fixed.
2496 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2497 require use of a linked list
2501 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2502 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2503 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2505 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2509 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2510 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2511 gphoto, archive, at least).
2513 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2515 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2518 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2519 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2520 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2522 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2524 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2526 * Many documentation improvements
2529 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2530 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2531 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2584 What's new in Glib 2.38
2585 ========================
2587 * Application support
2589 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2590 desktop entry specification
2592 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2593 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2594 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2596 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2597 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2598 to launch other applications
2600 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2601 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2605 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2606 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2607 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2608 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2609 any problems that this may have caused.
2611 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2612 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2613 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2614 (allowing memory savings)
2616 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2617 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2618 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2620 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2621 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2624 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2625 without destroying one of the objects involved
2629 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2630 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2631 with a finite number of cases
2633 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2634 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2636 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2637 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2638 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2639 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2642 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2646 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2647 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2648 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2650 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2652 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2653 and an API to check them
2655 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2656 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2658 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2659 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2663 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2664 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2665 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2668 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2669 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2670 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2672 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2677 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2678 allow for regexp matching on streams
2680 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2681 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2682 g_variant_new_printf()
2686 - we can now generate TAP output
2688 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2689 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2691 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2696 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2818 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2819 ==============================================
2821 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2822 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2823 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2824 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2826 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2827 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2830 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2832 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2833 the key was locked down)

3006 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3007 ==============================================
3009 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3010 and a parser API for them is now provided
3012 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3013 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3014 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3074 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3075 ==============================================
3077 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3079 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3080 the destination file
3082 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3084 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3090 * Translations updated:
3106 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3107 ==============================================
3109 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3110 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3111 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3112 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3166 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3167 ==============================================
3169 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3170 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3171 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3172 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3173 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3177 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3178 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3180 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

3182 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

3201 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3202 ==============================================
3204 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3206 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3207 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3209 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3210 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3212 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3225 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3226 ==============================================
3228 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3231 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3232 ready at a specified monotonic time
3234 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3236 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3239 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3240 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3338 * Translation updates:
3353 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3354 ==============================================
3356 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3357 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3358 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3359 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3360 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3362 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3363 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3364 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3365 particular, are incompatible.
3367 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3401 * Translation updates:
3412 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3413 ==============================================
3415 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3416 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3417 causing regressions in applications.
3419 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3420 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3421 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3424 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3425 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3426 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3428 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3430 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3432 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3434 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3436 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3438 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3440 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3442 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3444 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3446 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3496 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3497 ==============================================
3499 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3500 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3502 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3503 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3505 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3507 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3509 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3511 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3513 * GLib version macros updated
3515 * Update to Unicode 6.2
3517 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
3519 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
3521 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
3523 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
3524 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

4340 ==============================================
4343 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4344 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4345 to an overridden property
4346 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4347 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4349 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4350 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4352 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4394 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4395 ==============================================
4397 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4398 moved to GtkApplication.
4400 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4401 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4402 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4403 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4405 * lots of documentation improvements
4407 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4409 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4410 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4412 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4414 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4416 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4418 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4419 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4422 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4423 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4427 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4428 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4429 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4430 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4431 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4432 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4434 * Translations updated:
4438 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4439 ==============================================
4441 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4442 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4443 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4446 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4447 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4448 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4451 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4452 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4453 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4454 through an idle on the context.
4456 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4457 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4458 fixes here and there.
4460 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4461 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4462 API available outside GLib
4464 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4505 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4506 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4507 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4509 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4512 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4513 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4528 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4529 =================================================
4531 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4532 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4534 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4535 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4536 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4537 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4538 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4539 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4540 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4541 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4542 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4543 required (and has been deprecated)
4544 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4545 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4546 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4547 without explicit initialisation.
4548 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4549 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4550 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4552 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4553 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4554 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4555 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4556 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4557 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4558 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4560 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4561 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4562 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4563 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4564 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4565 - other implementation details changed
4567 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4568 deprecated/ directory.
4570 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4571 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4572 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4574 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4575 platform over a year ago).
4577 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4578 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4580 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4581 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4583 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4584 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4585 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4586 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4589 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4590 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4593 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4595 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4596 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4598 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4599 in a multi-threaded program
4601 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4602 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4605 - drop -uninstalled variants
4606 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4608 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4609 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4610 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4612 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4614 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4615 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4618 - many code generation updates and improvements
4619 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4622 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4623 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4625 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4627 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4630 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4631 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4633 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4634 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4636 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4638 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4642 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4643 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5069 ==============================================
5071 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5072 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5073 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5074 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5075 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5076 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5078 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5079 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

5136 * Updated translations:
5145 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5146 ==============================================
5149 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5150 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5151 an 'object manager' pattern:
5152 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5153 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5154 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5155 And server-side implementations:
5156 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5157 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5158 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5162 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5166 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5167 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5168 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5169 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5172 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5173 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5176 * Unix-specific APIs:
5177 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5178 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5179 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5180 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5181 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5182 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
5185 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

5213 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5214 ==============================================
5217 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5218 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5219 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5222 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5223 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5224 situations has been improved
5227 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5228 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5231 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5232 match strcmp() semantics
5233 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5234 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5235 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5237 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5238 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5241 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5243 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5245 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5246 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5247 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5582 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5584 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5585 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5586 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

5603 * Translation updates:
5609 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5610 ==============================================
5612 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5613 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5615 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5616 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5618 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5620 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5622 g_settings_get_range
5623 g_settings_range_check
5624 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5626 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5627 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5629 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5630 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5632 g_main_context_invoke
5633 g_main_context_invoke_full
5635 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5636 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5637 looking for default applications.
5639 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5640 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5641 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5642 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5644 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5645 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5646 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5905 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5907 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5908 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5909 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5910 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5913 There have been many other improvements, however:
5916 - vastly improved test coverage
5917 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5918 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5919 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
5922 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
5925 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
5926 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage

5937 without mapping functions
5938 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
5941 - improve closure support for bindings
5942 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

5970 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5971 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5972 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5973 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5974 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5975 | required (and will be along soon). |

6036 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6037 =====================================================
6039 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6040 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6041 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6042 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6043 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6046 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6047 -Bsymbolic-functions
6048 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6049 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6050 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6051 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6052 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6055 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6056 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6057 nobody was doing that.
6058 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6060 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6061 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6063 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6064 have a serial number
6065 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6067 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6069 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6070 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6071 has finished running on GDBus services.
6072 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6073 this due to the obvious race)
6074 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6075 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6078 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6079 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6080 arguments and different behaviour
6081 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6082 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6083 strings instead of utf8 strings
6084 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6085 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6086 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6087 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6088 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6089 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6090 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6091 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6092 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6095 - improved documentation
6096 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6097 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6098 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6099 overridden using <override>.
6100 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6102 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6103 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6104 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6105 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6106 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6107 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6108 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6109 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6110 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6111 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6112 being set due to a premature free
6113 - command line tool: bash completion support
6114 - chain up in _finalize
6115 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6117 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6118 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6119 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6121 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6122 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6123 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6124 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6125 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6129 - always intern GBinding prop names
6130 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6131 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6132 - GNode docs improvements
6133 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6134 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6135 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6139 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6140 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6141 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6142 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6143 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6144 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6145 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6146 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6148 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6149 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6150 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6151 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6152 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6153 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6154 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6155 610784 array test failing
6156 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6157 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

6636 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
6639 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
6640 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
6641 - The parser will be in a future release.
6644 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
6645 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
6646 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

6842 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6843 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6844 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6845 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6846 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6847 while loading or saving it.
6848 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6849 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6850 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6853 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6854 interfaces to dynamic types.
6857 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6858 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7581 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

7584 also uses less memory overall.

7589 that a GError is set or unset
7591 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7593 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7594 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7596 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7597 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9235 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9236 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9237 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9238 efficient and scalable implementation.

9257 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9261 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9262 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,

10224 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
10225 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
10226 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
10227 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
10228 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
10229 * Many documentation improvements.
10234 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
