1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.6
2 ==================================
4 * Fix various instances within GLib where `g_memdup()` was vulnerable to a
5 silent integer truncation and heap overflow problem (discovered by
6 Kevin Backhouse, work by Philip Withnall) (#2319)
9 - !1927 Backport !1926 “Add g_memdup2()” to glib-2-66
12 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.5
13 ==================================
15 * Fix some issues with handling over-long (invalid) input when parsing for `GDate` (!1824)
17 * Don’t load GIO modules or parse other GIO environment variables when `AT_SECURE`
18 is set (i.e. in a setuid/setgid/setcap process). GIO has always been
19 documented as not being safe to use in privileged processes, but people persist
20 in using it unsafely, so these changes should harden things against potential
21 attacks at least a little. Unfortunately they break a couple of projects which
22 were relying on reading `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, so GIO continues to read
23 that for setgid/setcap (but not setuid) processes. This loophole will be closed
24 in GLib 2.70 (see issue #2316), which should give modules 6 months to change
25 their behaviour. (Work by Simon McVittie and Philip Withnall) (#2168, #2305)
27 * Fix `g_spawn()` searching `PATH` when it wasn’t meant to (work by
28 Simon McVittie and Thomas Haller) (!1913)

47 * Fix some issues in parsing floating point seconds in `GDateTime` (!1791, !1797)
49 * Fix some issues in handling invalid UTF-8 when parsing for `GDate` (!1788)

57 - !1805 Backport !1797 “gdatetime: Improve ISO 8601 parsing to avoid floating point checks” to glib-2-66
60 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.3
61 ==================================
63 * Fix awkward bug with `GPollFD` handling in some situations (work by Claudio
64 Saavedra and Eugene M) (#1592)
66 * Fix sending FDs attached to very large D-Bus messages (work by Simon McVittie
67 and Giovanni Campagna) (#2074)
70 - #1592 Main loop ignores GPollFD sources when there is at least one source ready with priority higher than default one
71 - !1720 Backport !1718 “gtrace: Add G_GNUC_PRINTF annotation” to glib-2-66

79 ==================================
81 * Important and time-critical fix to DST transitions which will happen in Europe
82 on 2020-10-25 on distributions which use the ‘slim’ tzdata format (which is
83 now the default in tzdata/tzcode 2020b) (work by Claudi M., LRN) (#2224)
85 * Further timezone handling changes to restore support for changing the timezone
86 when `/etc/localtime/` changes (work by António Fernandes, Sebastian Keller) (#2204)
88 * Fix deadlock on Windows when `G_SLICE` is set in the environment (diagnosis by
89 Christoph Reiter) (#2225)
91 * Fix UTF-8 validation when escaping URI components (thanks to Marc-André Lureau) (!1680)
94 - #2203 fstatat is available only on macOS 10.10+
95 - #2224 top bar time is incorrect, timezone map in control center is broken
96 - #2225 Setting G_SLICE makes Windows programs hang since 2.66

107 * Translation updates:
113 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.1
114 ==================================
116 * A performance problem where timezones were reloaded from disk every time a
117 `GTimeZone` was created has been fixed (#2204), but this means that changes to
118 `/etc/localtime` will not take effect until a process restarts; future changes
119 in a subsequent 2.66.x release will improve this
121 * Security fix for incorrect scope/zone ID parsing in URIs (!1669)

931 Overview of changes in GLib 2.63.0
932 ==================================
934 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
936 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing
937 `G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS` flag; the destination permissions would be
938 private rather than following the process’ umask (!1142)
940 * Several `GDateTime` parsing fixes (!1127)
942 * Always build the tests if installed-tests are enabled, so that the tests can
943 actually be installed (!1141)
945 * Rework atomic function implementations to use memory barrier in the correct
946 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
947 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
949 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
951 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)
953 * Bump Python requirement to ≥ 3.5, which we implicitly relied on anyway through
954 our Meson dependency (!1132)

1111 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1112 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1114 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1115 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)

1118 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1120 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1121 third-party code should now be using

1138 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1140 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1141 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1143 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1145 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1146 of packaged libraries (!951)
1148 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1381 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.0
1382 ==================================
1384 * Changes to `iconv` configure options, including the default iconv
1385 implementation on macOS — distributors may need to check their configure

1400 `GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)
1402 * Use Windows symbol visibility when GLib is built on Cygwin, as PE binaries
1403 are subject to W32 visibility mechanics — this affects the definition of
1404 `_GLIB_EXTERN` (!752)
1406 * Add coloured output support to `gdbus introspect` (!761)

1606 ==================================
1608 * Autotools support is gone. (!580)
1610 * g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;

1620 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1621 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1622 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
1624 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
1626 * Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be

1690 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1691 ==================================
1693 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1694 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1695 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1696 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1698 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1699 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1701 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1703 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1705 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1707 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1708 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1709 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1710 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1712 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1713 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1715 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1716 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1717 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1719 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1721 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1722 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1725 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1726 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1728 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1729 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1730 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1732 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1733 portal backends. (!317)
1735 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1738 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1740 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1743 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1745 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1748 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1749 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1750 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1752 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1753 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1755 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1756 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1757 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1758 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1760 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1762 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1971 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1972 ==================================
1974 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1975 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1976 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1977 with Meson or autotools. See:
1978 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1980 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1982 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1983 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1985 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1987 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1989 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1990 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1991 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1992 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1995 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1996 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1997 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1998 !265 Network monitor again
1999 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2000 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2001 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2002 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2003 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2004 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2006 * Translation updates:
2016 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2017 ==================================
2019 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2020 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2021 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2022 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2024 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2026 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2028 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2030 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2032 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2033 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2035 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2037 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2038 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2039 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2042 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2044 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2047 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

3219 ==================================
3221 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3222 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3223 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3224 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

3227 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3228 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3230 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3231 environment variable.
3233 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3234 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3396 is unavailable or undesired.
3398 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

3454 ==================================
3456 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3457 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3458 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3459 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3461 This release corrects only this problem.
3463 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3464 ==================================
3466 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3467 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3468 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3470 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3816 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3817 ==================================
3819 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3820 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3821 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3822 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3823 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3824 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3826 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3827 have seen major improvements.
3829 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3830 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3831 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3834 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3836 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3838 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3840 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3841 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3842 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3843 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3844 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3845 you use the --strict option.
3847 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3848 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3849 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3851 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3853 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3854 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3855 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3900 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3901 ===================================
3903 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3904 before the release of 2.44.0.
3906 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3908 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3909 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3910 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3911 default in the next cycle.
3913 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3915 * new GTask:completed property
3917 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3918 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

3957 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
3958 ===================================
3960 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3961 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3962 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3964 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3965 effective busy state.
3967 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4014 ==================================
4016 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4017 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
4018 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4020 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4021 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
4023 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

4501 =====================================================
4503 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4504 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4505 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4506 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4507 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4508 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4763 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4764 ====================================================
4766 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4768 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4770 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4771 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4774 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4775 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4778 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4780 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4782 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4785 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4786 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4788 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4790 * Applications/Actions
4792 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4793 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4796 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4797 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4799 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4800 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4801 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4802 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4806 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4807 accesses that are performed in common situations
4809 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4810 are installed/removed
4812 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4813 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4815 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4816 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4821 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4823 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4824 that test programs don't pick them up
4826 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4828 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4829 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4830 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4831 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4833 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4834 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4836 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4837 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4838 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4842 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4844 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4846 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4848 Translations updated:
4856 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

4898 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4899 ====================================================
4901 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4905 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4907 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4908 them can restart the application with an action (via
4913 - new API for launching subprocesses
4915 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4917 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4919 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4920 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4922 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4924 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4926 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4927 actions and listing apps and actions
4929 - bash tab completion is supported
4931 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4933 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4934 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4936 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4937 DBusActivatable=true
4939 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4940 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4945 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4947 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4948 class and inotify backend
4950 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4951 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4953 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4958 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4959 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4960 when there are invalid schemas installed
4962 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4966 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4967 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4969 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4972 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4973 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4974 semantics of the interface in each case
4976 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4977 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4979 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4981 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4982 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4983 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4984 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4988 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4991 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4993 * Portability improvements
4995 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4997 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4998 actually support it (like Hurd)
5000 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5002 * Other small API changes/additions
5004 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5005 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5006 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5008 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5010 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5011 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5013 * GMainContext/GSource
5015 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5017 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5018 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5019 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5020 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5021 broken and should probably be fixed.
5023 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5024 require use of a linked list
5028 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5029 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5030 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5032 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5036 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5037 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5038 gphoto, archive, at least).
5040 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5042 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5045 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5046 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5047 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5049 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5051 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5053 * Many documentation improvements

5111 What's new in Glib 2.38
5112 ========================
5114 * Application support
5116 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5117 desktop entry specification
5119 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5120 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5121 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5123 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5124 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5125 to launch other applications
5127 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5128 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5132 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5133 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5134 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5135 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5136 any problems that this may have caused.
5138 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5139 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5140 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5141 (allowing memory savings)
5143 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5144 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5145 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5147 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5148 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5151 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5152 without destroying one of the objects involved
5156 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5157 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5158 with a finite number of cases
5160 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5161 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5163 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5164 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5165 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5166 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5169 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5173 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5174 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5175 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5177 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5179 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5180 and an API to check them
5182 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5183 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5185 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5186 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5190 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5191 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5192 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5195 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5196 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5197 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5199 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5204 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5205 allow for regexp matching on streams
5207 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5208 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5209 g_variant_new_printf()
5213 - we can now generate TAP output
5215 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5216 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5218 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5223 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5348 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5349 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5350 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5351 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5353 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5354 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5357 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5359 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
5360 the key was locked down)

5441 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
5442 ==============================================
5444 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5445 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5447 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5448 and will trigger a warning.
5451 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5492 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5494 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5496 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5498 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

5534 ==============================================
5536 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5537 and a parser API for them is now provided
5539 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5540 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5541 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5601 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
5602 ==============================================
5604 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5606 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5607 the destination file
5609 - fix some 'available since' annotations
5611 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
5614 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

5617 * Translations updated:
5633 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5634 ==============================================
5636 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5637 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5638 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5639 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5693 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5694 ==============================================
5696 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5697 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5698 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5699 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5700 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

5729 ==============================================
5731 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5733 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5734 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5736 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5737 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5739 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5752 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5753 ==============================================
5755 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

5759 ready at a specified monotonic time
5761 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked

5865 * Translation updates:
5880 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5881 ==============================================
5883 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5884 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5885 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5886 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5887 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5889 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5890 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5891 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5892 particular, are incompatible.
5894 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5939 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5940 ==============================================
5942 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5943 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5944 causing regressions in applications.
5946 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5947 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5948 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5951 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5952 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5953 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5955 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5957 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5959 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5961 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5963 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5965 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5967 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5969 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5971 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5973 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6026 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6027 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6029 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6030 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6032 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6034 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

6866 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
6867 ==============================================
6870 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6871 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6872 to an overridden property
6873 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6874 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6876 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6877 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
6879 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
6881 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

6921 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6922 ==============================================
6924 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6925 moved to GtkApplication.
6927 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6928 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6929 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6930 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6932 * lots of documentation improvements
6934 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6936 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6937 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6939 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6941 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6943 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6945 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6946 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6949 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6950 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
6951 664699 glib: documentation fixes
6952 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
6953 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
6954 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6955 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
6956 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
6957 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6958 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6959 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6961 * Translations updated:
6965 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6966 ==============================================
6968 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6969 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6970 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6973 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6974 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6975 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6978 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6979 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6980 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6981 through an idle on the context.
6983 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6984 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6985 fixes here and there.
6987 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6988 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6989 API available outside GLib
6991 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7032 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7033 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7034 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7036 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7039 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7040 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

7055 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7056 =================================================
7058 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7059 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7061 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7062 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7063 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7064 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7065 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7066 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7067 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7068 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7069 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7070 required (and has been deprecated)
7071 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7072 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7073 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7074 without explicit initialisation.
7075 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7076 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7077 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7079 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7080 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7081 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7082 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7083 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7084 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7085 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7087 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7088 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7089 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7090 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7091 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7092 - other implementation details changed
7094 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7095 deprecated/ directory.
7097 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7098 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7099 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7101 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7102 platform over a year ago).
7104 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7105 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7107 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7108 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7110 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7111 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7112 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7113 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7116 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7117 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7120 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7122 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7123 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7125 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7126 in a multi-threaded program
7128 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7129 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7132 - drop -uninstalled variants
7133 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7135 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7136 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7137 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7139 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7141 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7142 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7145 - many code generation updates and improvements
7146 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7149 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7150 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7152 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7154 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7157 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7158 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7160 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7161 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7163 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7165 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7169 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7170 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7596 ==============================================
7598 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7599 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7600 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7601 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7602 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7603 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7605 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7606 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7608 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7610 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7612 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

7663 * Updated translations:
7672 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7673 ==============================================
7676 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7677 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7678 an 'object manager' pattern:
7679 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7680 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7681 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7682 And server-side implementations:
7683 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7684 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7685 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7689 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7693 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7694 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7695 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7696 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7699 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7700 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7703 * Unix-specific APIs:
7704 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7705 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7706 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7707 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7708 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7709 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7733 * Updated translations
7740 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7741 ==============================================
7744 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7745 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7746 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7749 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7750 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7751 situations has been improved
7754 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7755 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7758 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7759 match strcmp() semantics
7760 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7761 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7762 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7764 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7765 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7768 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7770 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7772 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7773 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7774 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8016 that starts with a dot
8017 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
8018 and fallback mime handlers

8044 * Updated translations:
8051 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8052 ==============================================
8054 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8055 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8060 g_get_monotonic_time
8062 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8065 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8067 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8069 g_simple_async_result_take_error
8070 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
8071 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8073 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
8076 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
8077 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
8078 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
8080 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
8081 g_get_user_runtime_dir
8083 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed

8092 * Translation updates:
8100 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8101 ==============================================
8104 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8105 - Support environment passing
8108 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8109 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8111 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8112 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8113 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8117 158725 free linked list with data
8118 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8119 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

8127 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
8128 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
8130 * Translation updates:
8136 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8137 ==============================================
8139 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8140 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8142 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8143 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8145 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8147 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8149 g_settings_get_range
8150 g_settings_range_check
8151 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8153 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8154 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8156 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8157 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8159 g_main_context_invoke
8160 g_main_context_invoke_full
8162 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8163 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8164 looking for default applications.
8166 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8167 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8168 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8169 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8171 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8172 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8173 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
8176 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
8177 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality

8431 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8432 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8434 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8435 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8436 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8437 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8440 There have been many other improvements, however:
8443 - vastly improved test coverage
8444 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8445 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8446 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8495 =====================================================
8497 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8498 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8499 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8500 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8501 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8502 | required (and will be along soon). |
8503 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8506 - cleanup automake setup
8507 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8508 - various docs fixups

8526 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8527 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8528 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8531 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8535 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
8536 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
8539 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

8564 =====================================================
8566 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8567 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8568 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8569 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8570 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8573 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8574 -Bsymbolic-functions
8575 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8576 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8577 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8578 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8579 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8582 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8583 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8584 nobody was doing that.
8585 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8587 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8588 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8590 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8591 have a serial number
8592 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8594 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8596 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8597 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8598 has finished running on GDBus services.
8599 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8600 this due to the obvious race)
8601 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8602 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8605 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8606 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8607 arguments and different behaviour
8608 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8609 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8610 strings instead of utf8 strings
8611 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8612 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8613 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8614 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8615 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8616 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8617 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8618 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8619 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser

9272 ===================================================
9274 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
9276 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
9278 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
9279 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
9280 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
9282 * Threading changes:
9283 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
9284 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
9286 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9287 when g_type_init() is called.
9288 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
9291 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
9294 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

9369 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9370 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9371 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9372 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9373 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9374 while loading or saving it.
9375 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9376 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9377 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9380 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9381 interfaces to dynamic types.
9384 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9385 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

10107 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10108 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10109 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10110 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10111 also uses less memory overall.
10113 * Make g_poll available as public api
10115 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10116 that a GError is set or unset
10118 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10120 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10121 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10123 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10124 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11738 =================================================
11740 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11741 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11742 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11744 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11745 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11748 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11749 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11750 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11751 "stutter stepping".
11752 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11754 * Memory management:
11755 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11756 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11757 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11758 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11759 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11760 never worked as intended.
11761 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11762 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11763 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11764 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11765 efficient and scalable implementation.
11766 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11768 * Pattern matching:
11769 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11770 unnecessary recursion.
11773 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11774 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11775 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11778 * g_thread_foreach:
11779 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11782 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11783 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11784 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11788 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11789 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
