934 ==================================
936 * Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
938 - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
939 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
940 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
941 - `g_array_binary_search()`
943 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
945 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
946 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
947 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
949 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
950 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
952 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
953 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
955 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
956 third-party code should now be using
957 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
959 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
961 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
963 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
966 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
968 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
969 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
971 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
973 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
975 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
976 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
978 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
980 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
981 of packaged libraries (!951)
983 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1454 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
1455 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1456 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1457 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

1520 * Translation updates:
1525 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1526 ==================================
1528 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1529 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1530 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1531 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1533 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1534 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1536 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1538 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1540 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1542 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1543 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1544 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1545 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1547 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1548 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1550 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1551 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1552 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1554 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1556 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1557 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1560 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1561 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1563 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1564 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1565 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1567 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1568 portal backends. (!317)
1570 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1573 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1575 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1578 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1580 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1583 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1584 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1585 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1587 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1588 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1590 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1591 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1592 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1593 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1595 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1597 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1806 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1807 ==================================
1809 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1810 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1811 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1812 with Meson or autotools. See:
1813 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1815 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1817 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1818 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1820 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1822 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1824 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1825 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1826 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1827 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1830 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1831 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1832 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1833 !265 Network monitor again
1834 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1835 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1836 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1837 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1838 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1839 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1841 * Translation updates:
1851 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1852 ==================================
1854 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1855 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1856 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1857 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1859 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1861 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1863 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1865 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1867 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1868 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1870 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1872 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1873 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1874 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1877 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1879 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1882 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1883 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
1884 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

3054 ==================================
3056 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3057 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3058 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3059 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
3061 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
3062 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3063 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3065 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3066 environment variable.
3068 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3069 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3288 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3289 ==================================
3291 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3292 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3293 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3294 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3296 This release corrects only this problem.
3298 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3299 ==================================
3301 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3302 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3303 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.

3651 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3652 ==================================
3654 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3655 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3656 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3657 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3658 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3659 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3661 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3662 have seen major improvements.
3664 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3665 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3666 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3669 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3671 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3673 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3675 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3676 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3677 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3678 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3679 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3680 you use the --strict option.
3682 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3683 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3684 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3686 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3688 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3689 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3690 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3736 ===================================
3738 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3739 before the release of 2.44.0.
3741 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3743 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3744 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3745 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3746 default in the next cycle.
3748 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

4338 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4339 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4340 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4341 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4342 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4343 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4591 * Translations updates:
4598 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4599 ====================================================
4601 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4603 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4605 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4606 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4609 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4610 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4613 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4615 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4617 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4620 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4621 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4623 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4625 * Applications/Actions
4627 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4628 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4631 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4632 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4634 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4635 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4636 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4637 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4641 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4642 accesses that are performed in common situations
4644 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4645 are installed/removed
4647 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4648 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4650 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4651 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4656 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4658 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4659 that test programs don't pick them up
4661 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4663 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4664 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4665 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4666 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4668 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4669 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4671 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4672 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4673 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4677 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4679 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4681 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4683 Translations updated:
4691 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
4692 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
4693 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
4694 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
4695 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
4696 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
4697 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
4698 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
4699 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
4700 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
4701 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
4702 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
4703 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
4704 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
4705 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
4706 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake

4716 711064 Adding child source to blocked source can cause a segfault
4717 711070 Copying a symlink over another one segfaults
4718 711099 gapplication test failure
4719 711520 GDesktopAppInfo: allow more than one level of legacy folder prefixes
4720 711556 Add GAppInfoMonitor
4721 711557 Add g_desktop_app_info_search()

4733 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4734 ====================================================
4736 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4740 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4742 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4743 them can restart the application with an action (via
4748 - new API for launching subprocesses
4750 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4752 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4754 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4755 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4757 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4759 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4761 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4762 actions and listing apps and actions
4764 - bash tab completion is supported
4766 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4768 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4769 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4771 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4772 DBusActivatable=true
4774 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4775 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4780 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4782 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4783 class and inotify backend
4785 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4786 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4788 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4793 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4794 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4795 when there are invalid schemas installed
4797 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4801 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4802 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4804 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4807 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4808 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4809 semantics of the interface in each case
4811 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4812 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4814 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4816 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4817 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4818 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4819 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4823 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4826 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4828 * Portability improvements
4830 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4832 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4833 actually support it (like Hurd)
4835 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4837 * Other small API changes/additions
4839 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4840 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4841 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4843 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4845 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4846 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4848 * GMainContext/GSource
4850 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4852 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4853 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4854 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4855 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4856 broken and should probably be fixed.
4858 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4859 require use of a linked list
4863 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4864 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4865 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4867 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4871 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4872 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4873 gphoto, archive, at least).
4875 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4877 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4880 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4881 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4882 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4884 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4886 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4888 * Many documentation improvements
4891 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4892 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4893 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

4946 What's new in Glib 2.38
4947 ========================
4949 * Application support
4951 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4952 desktop entry specification
4954 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4955 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4956 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4958 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4959 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4960 to launch other applications
4962 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4963 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4967 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4968 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4969 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4970 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4971 any problems that this may have caused.
4973 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4974 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4975 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4976 (allowing memory savings)
4978 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4979 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4980 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4982 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4983 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4986 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4987 without destroying one of the objects involved
4991 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4992 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4993 with a finite number of cases
4995 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4996 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4998 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4999 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5000 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5001 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5004 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5008 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5009 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5010 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5012 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5014 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5015 and an API to check them
5017 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5018 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5020 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5021 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5025 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5026 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5027 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5030 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5031 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5032 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5034 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5039 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5040 allow for regexp matching on streams
5042 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5043 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5044 g_variant_new_printf()
5048 - we can now generate TAP output
5050 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5051 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5053 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5058 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5183 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5184 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5185 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5186 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

5263 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
5264 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
5271 698375 - D-Bus async properties

5273 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
5274 700035 - new API for instance private data
5276 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
5277 ==============================================
5279 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5280 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5282 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5283 and will trigger a warning.
5286 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5327 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5329 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5331 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5333 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
5334 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
5335 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
5337 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

5368 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
5369 ==============================================
5371 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5372 and a parser API for them is now provided
5374 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5375 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5376 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5469 ==============================================
5471 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5472 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5473 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5474 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5528 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5529 ==============================================
5531 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5532 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5533 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5534 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5535 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5539 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5540 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5542 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
5543 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
5544 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

5563 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
5564 ==============================================
5566 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5568 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5569 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5571 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5572 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5574 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)

5700 * Translation updates:
5715 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5716 ==============================================
5718 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5719 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5720 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5721 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5722 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5724 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5725 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5726 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5727 particular, are incompatible.
5729 * Bugs fixed in this release:
5730 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
5731 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

5774 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5775 ==============================================
5777 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5778 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5779 causing regressions in applications.
5781 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5782 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5783 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5786 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5787 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5788 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5790 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5792 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5794 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5796 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5798 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5800 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5802 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5804 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5806 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5808 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5858 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
5859 ==============================================
5861 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5862 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5864 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5865 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5867 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5869 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
5871 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
5873 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed

6705 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6706 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6707 to an overridden property

6756 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6757 ==============================================
6759 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6760 moved to GtkApplication.
6762 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6763 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6764 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6765 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6767 * lots of documentation improvements
6769 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6771 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6772 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6774 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6776 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6778 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6780 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6781 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6784 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6785 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

6800 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6801 ==============================================
6803 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6804 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6805 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6808 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6809 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6810 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6813 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6814 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6815 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6816 through an idle on the context.
6818 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6819 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6820 fixes here and there.
6822 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6823 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6824 API available outside GLib
6826 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6893 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6894 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6896 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6897 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6898 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6899 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6900 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6901 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6902 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6903 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6904 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6905 required (and has been deprecated)
6906 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6907 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6908 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6909 without explicit initialisation.
6910 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6911 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6912 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6914 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6915 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6916 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6917 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6918 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6919 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6920 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6922 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6923 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6924 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6925 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6926 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6927 - other implementation details changed
6929 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6930 deprecated/ directory.
6932 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6933 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6934 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6936 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6937 platform over a year ago).
6939 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6940 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6942 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6943 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6945 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6946 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6947 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6948 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6951 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6952 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6955 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6957 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6958 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6960 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6961 in a multi-threaded program
6963 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6964 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6967 - drop -uninstalled variants
6968 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6970 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6971 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6972 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6974 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6976 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6977 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6980 - many code generation updates and improvements
6981 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6984 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6985 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6987 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6989 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6992 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6993 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6995 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6996 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6998 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7000 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes

7431 ==============================================
7433 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7434 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7435 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7436 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7437 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7438 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.

7507 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7508 ==============================================
7511 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7512 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7513 an 'object manager' pattern:
7514 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7515 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7516 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7517 And server-side implementations:
7518 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7519 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7520 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7524 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7528 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7529 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7530 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7531 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7534 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7535 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7538 * Unix-specific APIs:
7539 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7540 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7541 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7542 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7543 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7544 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7560 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
7561 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
7562 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
7563 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
7564 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
7565 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
7566 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
7568 * Updated translations
7575 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7576 ==============================================
7579 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7580 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7581 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7584 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7585 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7586 situations has been improved
7589 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7590 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7593 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7594 match strcmp() semantics
7595 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7596 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7597 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7599 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7600 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7603 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7605 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7607 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7608 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7609 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7889 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
7890 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
7895 g_get_monotonic_time
7897 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
7900 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
7902 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
7904 g_simple_async_result_take_error
7905 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
7906 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
7908 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
7911 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
7912 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
7913 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
7915 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
7916 g_get_user_runtime_dir

7927 * Translation updates:
7935 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
7936 ==============================================
7939 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
7940 - Support environment passing
7943 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7944 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7946 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7947 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7948 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
7952 158725 free linked list with data
7953 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

7962 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
7963 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
7965 * Translation updates:
7971 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7972 ==============================================
7974 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7975 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7977 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7978 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7980 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7982 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7984 g_settings_get_range
7985 g_settings_range_check
7986 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7988 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7989 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7991 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7992 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7994 g_main_context_invoke
7995 g_main_context_invoke_full
7997 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7998 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7999 looking for default applications.
8001 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8002 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8003 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8004 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8006 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8007 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8008 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8263 =====================================================
8265 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8266 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8267 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8269 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8270 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8271 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8272 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8275 There have been many other improvements, however:
8278 - vastly improved test coverage
8279 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8280 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8281 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8330 =====================================================
8332 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8333 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8334 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8335 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8336 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8337 | required (and will be along soon). |
8338 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8341 - cleanup automake setup
8342 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8343 - various docs fixups
8344 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8350 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
8351 - add g_settings_reset()
8352 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
8355 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

8361 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8362 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8363 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8366 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8370 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
8371 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
8374 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
8375 617483 Credentials passing

8398 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
8399 =====================================================
8401 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8402 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8403 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8404 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8405 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8408 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8409 -Bsymbolic-functions
8410 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8411 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8412 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8413 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8414 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8417 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8418 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8419 nobody was doing that.
8420 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8422 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8423 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8425 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8426 have a serial number
8427 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8429 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8431 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8432 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8433 has finished running on GDBus services.
8434 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8435 this due to the obvious race)
8436 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8437 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8440 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8441 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8442 arguments and different behaviour
8443 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8444 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8445 strings instead of utf8 strings
8446 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8447 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8448 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8449 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8450 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8451 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8452 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8453 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8454 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8457 - improved documentation
8458 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8459 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8460 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8461 overridden using <override>.
8462 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8464 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8465 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8466 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8467 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8468 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8469 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8470 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8471 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8472 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8473 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8474 being set due to a premature free
8475 - command line tool: bash completion support
8476 - chain up in _finalize
8477 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8479 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8480 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8481 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8483 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8484 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8485 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8486 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8487 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8491 - always intern GBinding prop names
8492 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8493 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8494 - GNode docs improvements
8495 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8496 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8497 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8501 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8502 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8503 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8504 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8505 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8506 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8507 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8508 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8510 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8511 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8512 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8513 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8514 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8515 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8516 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
8517 610784 array test failing

9204 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9205 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9206 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9207 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9208 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9209 while loading or saving it.
9210 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9211 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9212 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9215 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9216 interfaces to dynamic types.

9946 also uses less memory overall.

11573 =================================================
11575 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11576 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11577 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11579 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11580 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11583 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11584 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11585 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11586 "stutter stepping".
11587 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11589 * Memory management:
11590 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11591 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11592 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11593 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11594 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11595 never worked as intended.
11596 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11597 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11598 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11599 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11600 efficient and scalable implementation.
11601 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11603 * Pattern matching:
11604 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11605 unnecessary recursion.
11608 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11609 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11610 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11613 * g_thread_foreach:
11614 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11617 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11618 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11619 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11623 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11624 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11625 since they are in glib.h
