844 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
845 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
846 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for

852 ==================================
854 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
855 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around

1210 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1211 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1212 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1214 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1215 have seen major improvements.
1217 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1218 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1219 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1222 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1224 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1226 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1228 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1229 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1230 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1231 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1232 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1233 you use the --strict option.
1235 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1236 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1237 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1239 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1241 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1242 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1243 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1288 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1289 ===================================
1291 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1292 before the release of 2.44.0.
1294 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1296 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1297 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1298 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1299 default in the next cycle.
1301 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1303 * new GTask:completed property
1305 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1306 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1345 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
1346 ===================================
1348 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1349 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1350 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1352 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1353 effective busy state.
1355 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

1888 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
1889 =====================================================
1891 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1892 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1893 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1894 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1895 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1896 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2151 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2152 ====================================================
2154 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2156 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2158 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2159 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2162 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2163 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2166 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2168 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2170 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2173 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2174 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2176 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2178 * Applications/Actions
2180 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2181 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2184 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2185 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2187 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2188 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2189 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2190 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2194 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2195 accesses that are performed in common situations
2197 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2198 are installed/removed
2200 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2201 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2203 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2204 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2209 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2211 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2212 that test programs don't pick them up
2214 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2216 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2217 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2218 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2219 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2221 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2222 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2224 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2225 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2226 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2230 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2232 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2234 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2236 Translations updated:
2244 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2286 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2287 ====================================================
2289 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2293 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2295 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2296 them can restart the application with an action (via
2301 - new API for launching subprocesses
2303 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2305 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2307 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2308 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2310 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2312 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2314 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2315 actions and listing apps and actions
2317 - bash tab completion is supported
2319 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2321 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2322 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2324 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2325 DBusActivatable=true
2327 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2328 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2333 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2335 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2336 class and inotify backend
2338 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2339 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2341 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2346 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2347 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2348 when there are invalid schemas installed
2350 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2354 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2355 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2357 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2360 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2361 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2362 semantics of the interface in each case
2364 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2365 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2367 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2369 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2370 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2371 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2372 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2376 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2379 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2381 * Portability improvements
2383 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2385 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2386 actually support it (like Hurd)
2388 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2390 * Other small API changes/additions
2392 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2393 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2394 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2396 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2398 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2399 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2401 * GMainContext/GSource
2403 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2405 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2406 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2407 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2408 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2409 broken and should probably be fixed.
2411 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2412 require use of a linked list
2416 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2417 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2418 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2420 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2424 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2425 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2426 gphoto, archive, at least).
2428 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2430 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2433 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2434 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2435 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2437 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2439 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2441 * Many documentation improvements

2499 What's new in Glib 2.38
2500 ========================
2502 * Application support
2504 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2505 desktop entry specification
2507 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2508 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2509 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2511 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2512 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2513 to launch other applications
2515 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2516 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2520 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2521 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2522 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2523 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2524 any problems that this may have caused.
2526 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2527 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2528 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2529 (allowing memory savings)
2531 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2532 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2533 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2535 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2536 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2539 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2540 without destroying one of the objects involved
2544 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2545 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2546 with a finite number of cases
2548 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2549 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2551 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2552 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2553 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2554 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2557 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2561 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2562 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2563 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2565 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2567 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2568 and an API to check them
2570 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2571 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2573 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2574 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2578 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2579 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2580 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2583 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2584 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2585 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2587 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2592 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2593 allow for regexp matching on streams
2595 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2596 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2597 g_variant_new_printf()
2601 - we can now generate TAP output
2603 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2604 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2606 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2611 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2734 ==============================================
2736 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2737 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2738 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2739 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2741 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2742 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2745 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2747 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

2827 700035 - new API for instance private data
2829 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
2830 ==============================================
2832 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2833 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2835 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2836 and will trigger a warning.
2839 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

2874 ==============================================
2876 * add support for installed tests:
2877 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
2879 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
2880 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2882 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2884 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2886 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
2887 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
2888 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.

2921 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2922 ==============================================
2924 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2925 and a parser API for them is now provided
2927 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2928 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2929 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2989 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
2990 ==============================================
2992 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
2994 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
2995 the destination file
2997 - fix some 'available since' annotations
2999 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3021 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3022 ==============================================
3024 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3025 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3026 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3027 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3081 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3082 ==============================================
3084 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3085 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3086 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3087 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3088 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3092 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3093 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

3117 ==============================================
3119 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3121 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3122 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3124 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3125 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3127 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3140 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3141 ==============================================
3143 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3146 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3147 ready at a specified monotonic time
3149 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3151 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3154 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3155 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3253 * Translation updates:
3268 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3269 ==============================================
3271 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3272 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3273 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3274 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3275 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3277 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3278 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3279 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3280 particular, are incompatible.
3282 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3316 * Translation updates:
3327 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3328 ==============================================
3330 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3331 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3332 causing regressions in applications.
3334 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3335 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3336 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3339 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3340 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3341 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3343 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3345 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3347 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3349 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3351 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3353 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3355 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3357 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3359 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3361 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3412 ==============================================
3414 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3415 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3417 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3418 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3420 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3422 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3424 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3426 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3428 * GLib version macros updated
3430 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4255 ==============================================
4258 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4259 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4260 to an overridden property
4261 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4262 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4264 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4265 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4267 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
4269 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

4309 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4310 ==============================================
4312 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4313 moved to GtkApplication.
4315 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4316 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4317 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4318 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4320 * lots of documentation improvements
4322 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4324 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4325 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4327 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4329 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4331 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4333 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4334 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4337 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4338 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4342 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4343 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4349 * Translations updated:
4353 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4354 ==============================================
4356 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4357 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4358 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4361 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4362 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4363 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4366 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4367 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4368 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4369 through an idle on the context.
4371 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4372 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4373 fixes here and there.
4375 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4376 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4377 API available outside GLib
4379 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4420 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4421 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4422 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4424 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4427 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

4440 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4441 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4443 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4444 =================================================
4446 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4447 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4449 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4450 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4451 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4452 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4453 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4454 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4455 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4456 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4457 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4458 required (and has been deprecated)
4459 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4460 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4461 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4462 without explicit initialisation.
4463 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4464 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4465 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4467 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4468 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4469 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4470 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4471 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4472 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4473 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4475 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4476 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4477 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4478 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4479 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4480 - other implementation details changed
4482 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4483 deprecated/ directory.
4485 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4486 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4487 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4489 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4490 platform over a year ago).
4492 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4493 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4495 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4496 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4498 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4499 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4500 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4501 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4504 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4505 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4508 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4510 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4511 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4513 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4514 in a multi-threaded program
4516 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4517 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4520 - drop -uninstalled variants
4521 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4523 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4524 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4525 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4527 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4529 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4530 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4533 - many code generation updates and improvements
4534 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4537 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4538 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4540 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4542 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4545 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4546 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4548 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4549 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4551 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4553 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4557 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4558 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4845 - add some blacklisted mount directories
4846 - 60_wait-longer-for-threads-to-die.patch
4847 - sleep longer in a test case, if needed to avoid failing
4849 * Units policy change: prefer use of SI units
4850 - deprecate g_format_size_for_display, add g_format_size(_full)
4852 * GSettings: don't call g_error() when the schema is missing

4984 ==============================================
4986 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4987 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4988 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4989 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4990 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4991 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4993 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4994 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4996 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4998 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5000 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5051 * Updated translations:
5060 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5061 ==============================================
5064 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5065 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5066 an 'object manager' pattern:
5067 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5068 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5069 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5070 And server-side implementations:
5071 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5072 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5073 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5077 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5081 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5082 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5083 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5084 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5087 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5088 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5091 * Unix-specific APIs:
5092 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5093 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5094 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5095 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5096 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5097 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5121 * Updated translations
5128 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5129 ==============================================
5132 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5133 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5134 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5137 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5138 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5139 situations has been improved
5142 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5143 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5146 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5147 match strcmp() semantics
5148 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5149 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5150 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5152 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5153 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5156 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5158 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5160 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5161 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5162 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5439 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
5440 ==============================================
5442 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5443 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5448 g_get_monotonic_time
5450 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5453 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5455 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

5488 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5489 ==============================================
5492 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5493 - Support environment passing
5496 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5497 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5499 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5500 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5501 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5505 158725 free linked list with data
5506 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
5507 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

5516 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5518 * Translation updates:
5524 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5525 ==============================================
5527 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5528 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5530 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5531 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5533 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5535 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5537 g_settings_get_range
5538 g_settings_range_check
5539 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5541 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5542 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5544 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5545 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5547 g_main_context_invoke
5548 g_main_context_invoke_full
5550 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5551 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5552 looking for default applications.
5554 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5555 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5556 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5557 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5559 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5560 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5561 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5818 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5819 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5820 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5822 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5823 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5824 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5825 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5828 There have been many other improvements, however:
5831 - vastly improved test coverage
5832 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5833 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5834 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
5837 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

5852 without mapping functions
5853 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
5856 - improve closure support for bindings
5857 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

5883 =====================================================
5885 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5886 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5887 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5888 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5889 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5890 | required (and will be along soon). |
5891 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5894 - cleanup automake setup
5895 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5896 - various docs fixups
5897 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5914 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5915 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5916 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5919 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5952 =====================================================
5954 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5955 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5956 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5957 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5958 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5961 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5962 -Bsymbolic-functions
5963 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5964 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5965 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5966 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5967 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5970 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5971 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5972 nobody was doing that.
5973 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5975 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5976 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5978 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5979 have a serial number
5980 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5982 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5984 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5985 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5986 has finished running on GDBus services.
5987 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5988 this due to the obvious race)
5989 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5990 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5993 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5994 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5995 arguments and different behaviour
5996 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5997 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5998 strings instead of utf8 strings
5999 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6000 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6001 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6002 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped

6030 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6032 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6033 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6034 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6036 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6037 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6038 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6039 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6040 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6044 - always intern GBinding prop names
6045 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings

6757 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6758 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6759 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6760 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6761 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6762 while loading or saving it.
6763 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6764 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6765 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6768 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6769 interfaces to dynamic types.
6772 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6773 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7496 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7497 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

7499 also uses less memory overall.

7508 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7509 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7511 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7512 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9125 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
9126 =================================================
9128 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9129 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9130 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9132 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9133 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9136 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
9137 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
9138 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
9140 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
9142 * Memory management:
9143 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
9144 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
9145 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9146 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9147 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9148 never worked as intended.
9149 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9150 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9151 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9152 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9153 efficient and scalable implementation.
9154 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9157 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9158 unnecessary recursion.
9161 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
9162 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
