1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.2
2 ==================================
4 * Important and time-critical fix to DST transitions which will happen in Europe
5 on 2020-10-25 on distributions which use the ‘slim’ tzdata format (which is
6 now the default in tzdata/tzcode 2020b) (work by Claudi M., LRN) (#2224)
8 * Further timezone handling changes to restore support for changing the timezone
9 when `/etc/localtime/` changes (work by António Fernandes, Sebastian Keller) (#2204)

36 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.1
37 ==================================
39 * A performance problem where timezones were reloaded from disk every time a
40 `GTimeZone` was created has been fixed (#2204), but this means that changes to

1034 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1035 rather than silently leaking. (#787)

1038 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)

1041 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1043 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1044 third-party code should now be using

1059 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1061 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1063 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1064 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1066 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1068 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1069 of packaged libraries (!951)
1071 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1543 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1544 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test

1613 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1614 ==================================
1616 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1617 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1618 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1619 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1621 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1622 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1624 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1626 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1628 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1630 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1631 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1632 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1633 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1635 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1636 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1638 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1639 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1640 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1642 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1644 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1645 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1648 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1649 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1651 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1652 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1653 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1655 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1656 portal backends. (!317)
1658 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1661 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1663 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1666 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1668 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1671 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1672 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1673 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1675 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1676 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1678 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1679 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1680 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1681 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1683 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1685 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1894 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1895 ==================================
1897 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1898 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1899 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1900 with Meson or autotools. See:
1901 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1903 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1905 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1906 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1908 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1910 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1912 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1913 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1914 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1915 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1918 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1919 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1920 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1921 !265 Network monitor again
1922 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1923 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1924 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1925 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1926 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1927 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1929 * Translation updates:
1939 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1940 ==================================
1942 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1943 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1944 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1945 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1947 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1949 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1951 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1953 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1955 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1956 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1958 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1960 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1961 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1962 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1965 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1967 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1970 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1971 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
1972 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

3154 environment variable.

3376 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3377 ==================================
3379 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3380 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3381 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3382 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3384 This release corrects only this problem.
3386 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3387 ==================================
3389 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3390 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3391 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3393 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3739 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3740 ==================================
3742 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3743 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3744 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3745 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3746 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3747 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3749 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3750 have seen major improvements.
3752 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3753 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3754 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3757 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3759 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3761 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3763 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3764 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3765 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3766 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3767 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3768 you use the --strict option.
3770 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3771 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3772 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3774 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3776 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3777 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3778 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3824 ===================================
3826 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3827 before the release of 2.44.0.
3829 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3831 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3832 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3833 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3834 default in the next cycle.
3836 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

4118 ===================================
4120 All changes in this release are trivial in nature.
4122 - introspection warning fixes
4124 - g_application_add_main_option now uses an enum instead of an 'int'

4423 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4424 =====================================================
4426 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4427 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4428 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4429 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4430 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4431 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4433 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

4679 * Translations updates:
4686 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4687 ====================================================
4689 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4691 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4693 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4694 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4697 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4698 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4701 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4703 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4705 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4708 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4709 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4711 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4713 * Applications/Actions
4715 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4716 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4719 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4720 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4722 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4723 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4724 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4725 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4729 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4730 accesses that are performed in common situations
4732 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4733 are installed/removed
4735 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4736 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4738 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4739 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4744 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4746 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4747 that test programs don't pick them up
4749 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4751 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4752 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4753 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4754 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4756 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4757 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4759 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4760 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4761 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4765 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4767 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4769 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4771 Translations updated:
4779 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

4821 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4822 ====================================================
4824 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4828 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4830 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4831 them can restart the application with an action (via
4836 - new API for launching subprocesses
4838 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4840 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4842 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4843 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4845 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4847 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4849 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4850 actions and listing apps and actions
4852 - bash tab completion is supported
4854 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4856 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4857 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4859 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4860 DBusActivatable=true
4862 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4863 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4868 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4870 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4871 class and inotify backend
4873 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4874 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4876 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4881 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4882 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4883 when there are invalid schemas installed
4885 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4889 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4890 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4892 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4895 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4896 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4897 semantics of the interface in each case
4899 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4900 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4902 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4904 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4905 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4906 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4907 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4911 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4914 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4916 * Portability improvements
4918 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4920 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4921 actually support it (like Hurd)
4923 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4925 * Other small API changes/additions
4927 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4928 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4929 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4931 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4933 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4934 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4936 * GMainContext/GSource
4938 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4940 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4941 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4942 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4943 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4944 broken and should probably be fixed.
4946 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4947 require use of a linked list
4951 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4952 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4953 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4955 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4959 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4960 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4961 gphoto, archive, at least).
4963 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4965 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4968 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4969 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4970 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4972 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4974 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4976 * Many documentation improvements
4979 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4980 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4981 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

5034 What's new in Glib 2.38
5035 ========================
5037 * Application support
5039 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5040 desktop entry specification
5042 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5043 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5044 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5046 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5047 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5048 to launch other applications
5050 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5051 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5055 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5056 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5057 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5058 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5059 any problems that this may have caused.
5061 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5062 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5063 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5064 (allowing memory savings)
5066 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5067 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5068 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5070 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5071 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5074 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5075 without destroying one of the objects involved
5079 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5080 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5081 with a finite number of cases
5083 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5084 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5086 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5087 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5088 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5089 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5092 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5096 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5097 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5098 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5100 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5102 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5103 and an API to check them
5105 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5106 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5108 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5109 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5113 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5114 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5115 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5118 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5119 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5120 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5122 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5127 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5128 allow for regexp matching on streams
5130 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5131 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5132 g_variant_new_printf()
5136 - we can now generate TAP output
5138 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5139 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5141 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5146 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5271 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5272 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5273 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5274 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

5457 ==============================================
5459 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5460 and a parser API for them is now provided
5462 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5463 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5464 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5559 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5560 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly

5616 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5617 ==============================================
5619 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5620 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5621 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5622 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5623 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5627 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5628 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5630 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
5631 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
5632 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
5633 * documentation fixes
5634 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
5637 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
5638 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h

5651 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
5652 ==============================================
5654 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5656 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5657 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5659 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5660 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5662 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5675 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6

5788 * Translation updates:
5803 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5804 ==============================================
5806 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5807 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5808 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5809 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5810 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5812 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5813 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5814 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5815 particular, are incompatible.
5817 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5862 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5863 ==============================================
5865 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5866 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5867 causing regressions in applications.
5869 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5870 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5871 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5874 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5875 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5876 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5878 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5880 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5882 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5884 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5886 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5888 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5890 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5892 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5894 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5896 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5946 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
5947 ==============================================
5949 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5950 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5952 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5953 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5955 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5957 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

6793 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6794 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6795 to an overridden property
6796 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6797 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6799 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6800 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

6847 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6848 moved to GtkApplication.
6850 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6851 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6852 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6853 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6855 * lots of documentation improvements
6857 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6859 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs

6888 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6889 ==============================================
6891 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6892 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6893 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6896 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6897 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6898 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6901 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6902 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6903 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6904 through an idle on the context.
6906 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6907 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6908 fixes here and there.
6910 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6911 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6912 API available outside GLib
6914 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6951 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
6953 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
6955 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6956 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6957 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6959 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6962 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6963 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6964 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6967 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
6968 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

6978 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6979 =================================================
6981 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6982 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6984 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6985 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6986 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6987 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6988 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6989 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6990 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6991 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6992 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6993 required (and has been deprecated)
6994 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6995 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6996 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6997 without explicit initialisation.
6998 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6999 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7000 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7002 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7003 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7004 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7005 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7006 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7007 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7008 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7010 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7011 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7012 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7013 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7014 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7015 - other implementation details changed
7017 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7018 deprecated/ directory.
7020 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7021 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7022 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7024 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7025 platform over a year ago).
7027 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7028 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7030 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7031 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7033 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7034 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7035 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7036 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7039 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7040 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7043 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7045 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7046 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7048 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7049 in a multi-threaded program
7051 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7052 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7055 - drop -uninstalled variants
7056 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7058 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7059 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7060 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7062 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7064 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7065 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7068 - many code generation updates and improvements
7069 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7072 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7073 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7075 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7077 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7080 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7081 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7083 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7084 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7086 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7088 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7092 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7093 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7518 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
7519 ==============================================
7521 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7522 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7523 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7524 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7525 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7526 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7528 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7529 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7531 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7533 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7535 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

7586 * Updated translations:
7595 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7596 ==============================================
7599 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7600 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7601 an 'object manager' pattern:
7602 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7603 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7604 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7605 And server-side implementations:
7606 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7607 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7608 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7612 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7616 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7617 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7618 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7619 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7622 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7623 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7626 * Unix-specific APIs:
7627 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7628 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7629 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7630 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7631 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7632 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7654 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
7656 * Updated translations
7663 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7664 ==============================================
7667 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7668 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7669 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7672 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7673 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7674 situations has been improved
7677 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7678 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7681 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7682 match strcmp() semantics
7683 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7684 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7685 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7687 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7688 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7691 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7693 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7695 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7696 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7697 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8059 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8060 ==============================================
8062 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8063 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8065 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8066 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8068 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8070 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8072 g_settings_get_range
8073 g_settings_range_check
8074 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8076 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8077 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8079 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8080 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8082 g_main_context_invoke
8083 g_main_context_invoke_full
8085 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8086 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8087 looking for default applications.
8089 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8090 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8091 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8092 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8094 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8095 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8096 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
8099 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

8351 =====================================================
8353 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8354 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8355 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8357 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8358 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8359 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8360 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8363 There have been many other improvements, however:
8366 - vastly improved test coverage
8367 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8368 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8369 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
8372 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
8375 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
8376 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage

8380 - sort property names correctly
8381 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
8383 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
8386 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
8387 without mapping functions
8388 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
8391 - improve closure support for bindings
8392 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
8395 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

8418 =====================================================
8420 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8421 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8422 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8423 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8424 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8425 | required (and will be along soon). |
8426 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8429 - cleanup automake setup
8430 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8431 - various docs fixups
8432 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8438 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
8439 - add g_settings_reset()
8440 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
8443 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

8449 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8450 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8451 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8454 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8457 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
8458 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
8459 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
8462 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
8463 617483 Credentials passing
8464 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

8487 =====================================================
8489 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8490 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8491 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8492 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8493 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8496 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8497 -Bsymbolic-functions
8498 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8499 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8500 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8501 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8502 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8505 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8506 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8507 nobody was doing that.
8508 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8510 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8511 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8513 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8514 have a serial number
8515 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8517 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8519 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8520 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8521 has finished running on GDBus services.
8522 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8523 this due to the obvious race)
8524 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8525 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8528 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8529 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8530 arguments and different behaviour
8531 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8532 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8533 strings instead of utf8 strings
8534 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8535 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8536 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8537 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8538 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8539 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8540 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8541 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8542 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8545 - improved documentation
8546 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8547 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8548 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8549 overridden using <override>.
8550 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8552 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8553 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8554 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8555 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8556 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8557 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8558 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8559 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8560 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8561 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8562 being set due to a premature free
8563 - command line tool: bash completion support
8564 - chain up in _finalize
8565 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8567 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8568 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8569 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8571 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8572 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8573 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8574 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8575 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8579 - always intern GBinding prop names
8580 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8581 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8582 - GNode docs improvements
8583 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8584 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8585 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8589 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8590 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8591 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8592 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8593 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8594 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8595 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8596 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8598 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8599 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8600 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8601 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8602 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

9289 ===================================================
9292 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9293 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9294 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9295 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9296 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9297 while loading or saving it.
9298 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9299 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9300 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9303 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9304 interfaces to dynamic types.
9307 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9308 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
9309 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10027 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10028 ===================================================
10030 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10031 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10032 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10033 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10034 also uses less memory overall.
10036 * Make g_poll available as public api
10038 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10039 that a GError is set or unset
10041 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10043 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10044 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10046 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10047 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11627 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11628 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11629 variants [Martyn Russell]

11660 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
11661 =================================================
11663 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11664 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11665 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11667 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11668 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11671 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11672 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11673 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11674 "stutter stepping".
11675 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11677 * Memory management:
11678 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11679 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11680 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11681 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11682 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11683 never worked as intended.
11684 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11685 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11686 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11687 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11688 efficient and scalable implementation.
11689 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11691 * Pattern matching:
11692 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11693 unnecessary recursion.
11696 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11697 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11698 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11701 * g_thread_foreach:
11702 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11705 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11706 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11707 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11711 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11712 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11713 since they are in glib.h

11731 in GValues should also be changed to access
11732 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
11734 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
11735 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]
