1068 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1069 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1071 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1072 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1074 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1075 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1077 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1078 third-party code should now be using

1095 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1097 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1098 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1100 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1102 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1103 of packaged libraries (!951)
1105 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1577 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1578 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1579 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

1647 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1648 ==================================
1650 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1651 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1652 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1653 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1655 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1656 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1658 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1660 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1662 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1664 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1665 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1666 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1667 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1669 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1670 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1672 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1673 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1674 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1676 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1678 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1679 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1682 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1683 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1685 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1686 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1687 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1689 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1690 portal backends. (!317)
1692 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1695 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1697 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1700 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1702 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1705 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1706 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1707 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1709 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1710 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1712 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1713 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1714 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1715 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1717 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1719 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1928 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1929 ==================================
1931 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1932 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1933 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1934 with Meson or autotools. See:
1935 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1937 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1939 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1940 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1942 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1944 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1946 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1947 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1948 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1949 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1952 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1953 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1954 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1955 !265 Network monitor again
1956 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1957 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1958 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1959 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1960 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1961 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1963 * Translation updates:
1973 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1974 ==================================
1976 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1977 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1978 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1979 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1981 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1983 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1985 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1987 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1989 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1990 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1992 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1994 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1995 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1996 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1999 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2001 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2004 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

3348 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
3349 ==================================
3351 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
3352 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3353 is unavailable or undesired.
3355 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3356 glib-networking will also be required.
3358 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
3359 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag

3410 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3411 ==================================
3413 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3414 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3415 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3416 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3418 This release corrects only this problem.
3420 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3421 ==================================
3423 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3424 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3425 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3427 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3773 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3774 ==================================
3776 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3777 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3778 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3779 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3780 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3781 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3783 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3784 have seen major improvements.
3786 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3787 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3788 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3791 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3793 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3795 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3797 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3798 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3799 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3800 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3801 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3802 you use the --strict option.
3804 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3805 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3806 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3808 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3810 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3811 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3812 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3857 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3858 ===================================
3860 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3861 before the release of 2.44.0.
3863 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3865 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3866 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3867 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3868 default in the next cycle.
3870 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3872 * new GTask:completed property
3874 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3875 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
3878 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
3879 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
3880 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

3914 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
3915 ===================================
3917 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3918 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3919 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3921 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3922 effective busy state.
3924 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

3947 GInputStream and GOutputStream
3949 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
3950 of a boolean property on another object
3952 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
3955 739724 Test functions should have async scope
3956 741024 glist: Mention that g_list_length() is bad for checking list emptiness

3971 ==================================
3973 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
3974 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
3975 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
3977 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
3978 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
3980 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

4429 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4430 =====================================================
4432 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4434 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
4438 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
4439 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

4445 726046 Recent commit created symbolic icons issues
4457 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4458 =====================================================
4460 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4461 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4462 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4463 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4464 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4465 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4467 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
4470 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken
4471 673607 invalid assumption in g_cond_wait_until() / g_get_monotonic_time() API

4720 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4721 ====================================================
4723 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4725 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4727 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4728 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4731 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4732 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4735 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4737 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4739 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4742 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4743 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4745 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4747 * Applications/Actions
4749 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4750 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4753 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4754 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4756 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4757 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4758 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4759 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4763 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4764 accesses that are performed in common situations
4766 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4767 are installed/removed
4769 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4770 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4772 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4773 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4778 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4780 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4781 that test programs don't pick them up
4783 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4785 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4786 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4787 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4788 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4790 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4791 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4793 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4794 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4795 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4799 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4801 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4803 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4805 Translations updated:
4813 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

4855 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4856 ====================================================
4858 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4862 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4864 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4865 them can restart the application with an action (via
4870 - new API for launching subprocesses
4872 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4874 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4876 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4877 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4879 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4881 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4883 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4884 actions and listing apps and actions
4886 - bash tab completion is supported
4888 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4890 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4891 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4893 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4894 DBusActivatable=true
4896 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4897 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4902 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4904 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4905 class and inotify backend
4907 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4908 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4910 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4915 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4916 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4917 when there are invalid schemas installed
4919 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4923 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4924 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4926 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4929 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4930 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4931 semantics of the interface in each case
4933 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4934 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4936 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4938 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4939 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4940 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4941 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4945 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4948 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4950 * Portability improvements
4952 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4954 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4955 actually support it (like Hurd)
4957 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4959 * Other small API changes/additions
4961 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4962 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4963 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4965 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4967 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4968 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4970 * GMainContext/GSource
4972 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4974 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4975 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4976 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4977 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4978 broken and should probably be fixed.
4980 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4981 require use of a linked list
4985 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4986 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4987 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4989 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4993 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4994 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4995 gphoto, archive, at least).
4997 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4999 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager

5068 What's new in Glib 2.38
5069 ========================
5071 * Application support
5073 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5074 desktop entry specification
5076 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5077 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5078 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5080 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5081 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5082 to launch other applications
5084 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5085 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5089 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5090 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5091 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5092 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5093 any problems that this may have caused.
5095 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5096 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5097 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5098 (allowing memory savings)
5100 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5101 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5102 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5104 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5105 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5108 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5109 without destroying one of the objects involved
5113 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5114 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5115 with a finite number of cases
5117 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5118 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5120 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5121 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5122 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5123 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5126 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5130 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5131 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5132 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5134 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5136 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5137 and an API to check them
5139 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5140 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5142 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5143 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5147 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5148 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5149 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5152 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5153 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5154 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5156 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5161 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5162 allow for regexp matching on streams
5164 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5165 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5166 g_variant_new_printf()
5170 - we can now generate TAP output
5172 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5173 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5175 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5180 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5306 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5307 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5308 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

5650 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5651 ==============================================
5653 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5654 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5655 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5656 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5657 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5661 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5662 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5664 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
5665 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
5666 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
5667 * documentation fixes
5668 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
5671 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
5672 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h

5685 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
5686 ==============================================
5688 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5690 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5691 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5693 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5694 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5696 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5709 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5710 ==============================================
5712 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5715 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5716 ready at a specified monotonic time
5718 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5720 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
5723 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
5724 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

5822 * Translation updates:
5837 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5838 ==============================================
5840 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5841 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5842 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5843 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5844 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5846 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5847 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5848 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5849 particular, are incompatible.
5851 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5896 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5897 ==============================================
5899 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5900 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5901 causing regressions in applications.
5903 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5904 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5905 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5908 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5909 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5910 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5912 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5914 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5916 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5918 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5920 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5922 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5924 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5926 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5928 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5930 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5983 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5984 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5986 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5987 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

6878 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6879 ==============================================
6881 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6882 moved to GtkApplication.
6884 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6885 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6886 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6887 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6889 * lots of documentation improvements
6891 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6893 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6894 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6896 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6898 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6900 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6902 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6903 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6906 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6907 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
6908 664699 glib: documentation fixes
6909 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
6910 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
6911 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6912 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
6913 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
6914 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6915 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6916 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6918 * Translations updated:
6922 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6923 ==============================================
6925 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6926 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6927 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6930 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6931 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6932 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6935 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6936 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6937 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6938 through an idle on the context.
6940 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6941 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6942 fixes here and there.
6944 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6945 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6946 API available outside GLib
6948 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6990 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6991 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6993 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6996 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

7012 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7013 =================================================
7015 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7016 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7018 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7019 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7020 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7021 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7022 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7023 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7024 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7025 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7026 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7027 required (and has been deprecated)
7028 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7029 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7030 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7031 without explicit initialisation.
7032 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7033 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7034 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7036 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7037 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7038 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7039 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7040 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7041 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7042 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7044 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7045 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7046 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7047 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7048 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7049 - other implementation details changed
7051 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7052 deprecated/ directory.
7054 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7055 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7056 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7058 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7059 platform over a year ago).
7061 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7062 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7064 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7065 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7067 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7068 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7069 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7070 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7073 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7074 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7077 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7079 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7080 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7082 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7083 in a multi-threaded program
7085 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7086 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7089 - drop -uninstalled variants
7090 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7092 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7093 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7094 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7096 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7098 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7099 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7102 - many code generation updates and improvements
7103 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7106 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7107 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7109 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7111 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7114 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7115 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7117 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7118 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7120 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7122 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7126 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7127 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7552 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
7553 ==============================================
7555 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7556 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7557 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7558 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7559 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7560 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7562 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7563 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7565 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7567 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

7620 * Updated translations:
7629 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7630 ==============================================
7633 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7634 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7635 an 'object manager' pattern:
7636 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7637 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7638 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7639 And server-side implementations:
7640 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7641 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7642 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7646 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7650 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7651 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7652 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7653 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7656 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7657 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7660 * Unix-specific APIs:
7661 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7662 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7663 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7664 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7665 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7666 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
7669 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

7683 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
7684 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
7685 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

7688 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
7690 * Updated translations
7697 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7698 ==============================================
7701 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7702 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7703 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7706 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7707 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7708 situations has been improved
7711 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7712 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7715 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7716 match strcmp() semantics
7717 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7718 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7719 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7721 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7722 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7725 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7727 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7729 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7730 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7731 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8008 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8009 ==============================================
8011 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8012 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8017 g_get_monotonic_time
8019 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8022 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8024 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8026 g_simple_async_result_take_error
8027 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
8028 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8030 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
8033 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
8034 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
8035 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
8037 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
8038 g_get_user_runtime_dir
8040 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
8043 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
8044 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89
8045 633381 gsettings Makefile rules should handle empty list...
8046 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error
8047 633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8049 * Translation updates:
8057 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8058 ==============================================
8061 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8062 - Support environment passing
8065 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8066 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8068 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8069 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8070 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8074 158725 free linked list with data
8075 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8076 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
8077 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
8078 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
8079 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000

8081 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option
8082 633115 GSettings m4 doesn't fail the build for broken schemas
8083 633206 Default g_application_local_command_line() doesn't set exit_status...
8084 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
8085 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
8087 * Translation updates:
8093 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8094 ==============================================
8096 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8097 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8099 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8100 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8102 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8104 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8106 g_settings_get_range
8107 g_settings_range_check
8108 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8110 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8111 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8113 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8114 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8116 g_main_context_invoke
8117 g_main_context_invoke_full
8119 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8120 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8121 looking for default applications.
8123 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8124 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8125 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8126 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8128 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8129 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8130 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8385 =====================================================
8387 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8388 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8389 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8391 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8392 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8393 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8394 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8397 There have been many other improvements, however:
8400 - vastly improved test coverage
8401 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8402 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8403 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8452 =====================================================
8454 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8455 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8456 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8457 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8458 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8459 | required (and will be along soon). |
8460 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8463 - cleanup automake setup
8464 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8465 - various docs fixups
8466 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8483 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8484 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8485 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8488 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8521 =====================================================
8523 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8524 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8525 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8526 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8527 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8530 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8531 -Bsymbolic-functions
8532 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8533 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8534 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8535 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8536 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8539 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8540 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8541 nobody was doing that.
8542 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8544 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8545 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8547 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8548 have a serial number
8549 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8551 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8553 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8554 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8555 has finished running on GDBus services.
8556 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8557 this due to the obvious race)
8558 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8559 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8562 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8563 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8564 arguments and different behaviour
8565 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8566 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8567 strings instead of utf8 strings
8568 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8569 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8570 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8571 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8572 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8573 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8574 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8575 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8576 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8579 - improved documentation
8580 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8581 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8582 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8583 overridden using <override>.
8584 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8586 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8587 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8588 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8589 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8590 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8591 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8592 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8593 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8594 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8595 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8596 being set due to a premature free
8597 - command line tool: bash completion support
8598 - chain up in _finalize
8599 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8601 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8602 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8603 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8605 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8606 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8607 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8608 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8609 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8613 - always intern GBinding prop names
8614 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8615 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8616 - GNode docs improvements
8617 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8618 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8619 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8623 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8624 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8625 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8626 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8627 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8628 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8629 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8630 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test

9326 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9327 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9328 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9329 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9330 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9331 while loading or saving it.
9332 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9333 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9334 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9337 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9338 interfaces to dynamic types.
9341 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9342 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

10061 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10062 ===================================================
10064 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10065 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10066 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10067 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10068 also uses less memory overall.
10070 * Make g_poll available as public api
10072 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10073 that a GError is set or unset
10075 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10077 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10078 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10080 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10081 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

12706 and shell quoting/unquoting functions. [Havoc]
12707 * Split glib.h into many headers. [Sebastian]
12708 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
12709 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
12710 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
12711 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
12712 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
12713 * Many documentation improvements.
12718 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
