1051 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
1052 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1053 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1055 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1056 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1058 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1059 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1061 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1062 third-party code should now be using
1063 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)

1077 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1079 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1081 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1082 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1084 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1086 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1087 of packaged libraries (!951)
1089 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1248 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
1249 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

1561 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1562 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1563 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

1626 * Translation updates:
1631 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1632 ==================================
1634 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1635 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1636 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1637 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1639 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1640 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1642 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1644 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1646 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1648 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1649 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1650 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1651 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1653 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1654 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1656 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1657 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1658 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1660 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1662 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1663 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1666 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1667 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1669 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1670 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1671 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1673 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1674 portal backends. (!317)
1676 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1679 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1681 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1684 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1686 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1689 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1690 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1691 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1693 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1694 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1696 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1697 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1698 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1699 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1701 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1703 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1912 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1913 ==================================
1915 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1916 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1917 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1918 with Meson or autotools. See:
1919 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1921 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1923 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1924 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1926 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1928 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1930 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1931 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1932 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1933 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1936 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1937 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1938 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1939 !265 Network monitor again
1940 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1941 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1942 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1943 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1944 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1945 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1947 * Translation updates:
1957 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1958 ==================================
1960 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1961 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1962 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1963 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1965 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1967 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1969 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1971 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1973 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1974 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1976 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1978 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1979 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1980 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1983 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1985 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1988 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

3333 ==================================
3335 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
3336 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3337 is unavailable or undesired.
3339 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3340 glib-networking will also be required.
3342 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
3343 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag
3345 * several GApplication fixes, including fixes for commandline arguments
3346 in interpreted languages on Windows

3394 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3395 ==================================
3397 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3398 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3399 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3400 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3402 This release corrects only this problem.
3404 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3405 ==================================
3407 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3408 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3409 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3411 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3757 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3758 ==================================
3760 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3761 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3762 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3763 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3764 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3765 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3767 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3768 have seen major improvements.
3770 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3771 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3772 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3775 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3777 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3779 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3781 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3782 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3783 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3784 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3785 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3786 you use the --strict option.
3788 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3789 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3790 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3792 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3794 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3795 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3796 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3842 ===================================
3844 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3845 before the release of 2.44.0.
3847 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3849 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3850 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3851 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by

3898 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
3899 ===================================
3901 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3902 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3903 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3905 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3906 effective busy state.

4441 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4442 =====================================================
4444 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4445 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4446 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4447 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4448 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4449 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4451 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
4454 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken

4697 * Translations updates:
4704 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4705 ====================================================
4707 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4709 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4711 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4712 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4715 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4716 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4719 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4721 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4723 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4726 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4727 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4729 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4731 * Applications/Actions
4733 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4734 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4737 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4738 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4740 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4741 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4742 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4743 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4747 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4748 accesses that are performed in common situations
4750 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4751 are installed/removed
4753 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4754 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4756 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4757 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4762 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4764 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4765 that test programs don't pick them up
4767 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4769 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4770 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4771 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4772 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4774 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4775 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4777 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4778 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4779 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4783 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4785 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4787 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4789 Translations updated:
4797 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

4805 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

4839 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4840 ====================================================
4842 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4846 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4848 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4849 them can restart the application with an action (via
4854 - new API for launching subprocesses
4856 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4858 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4860 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4861 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4863 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4865 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4867 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4868 actions and listing apps and actions
4870 - bash tab completion is supported
4872 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4874 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4875 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4877 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4878 DBusActivatable=true
4880 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4881 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4886 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4888 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4889 class and inotify backend
4891 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4892 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4894 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4899 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4900 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4901 when there are invalid schemas installed
4903 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4907 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4908 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4910 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4913 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4914 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4915 semantics of the interface in each case
4917 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4918 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4920 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4922 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4923 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4924 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4925 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4929 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4932 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4934 * Portability improvements
4936 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4938 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4939 actually support it (like Hurd)
4941 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4943 * Other small API changes/additions
4945 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4946 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4947 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4949 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4951 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4952 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4954 * GMainContext/GSource
4956 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4958 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4959 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4960 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4961 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4962 broken and should probably be fixed.
4964 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4965 require use of a linked list
4969 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4970 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4971 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4973 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4977 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4978 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4979 gphoto, archive, at least).
4981 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4983 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4986 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4987 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4988 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4990 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4992 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4994 * Many documentation improvements
4997 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4998 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4999 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

5052 What's new in Glib 2.38
5053 ========================
5055 * Application support
5057 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5058 desktop entry specification
5060 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5061 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5062 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5064 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5065 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5066 to launch other applications
5068 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5069 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5073 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5074 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5075 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5076 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5077 any problems that this may have caused.
5079 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5080 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5081 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5082 (allowing memory savings)
5084 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5085 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5086 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5088 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5089 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5092 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5093 without destroying one of the objects involved
5097 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5098 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5099 with a finite number of cases
5101 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5102 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5104 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5105 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5106 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5107 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5110 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5114 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5115 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5116 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5118 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5120 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5121 and an API to check them
5123 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5124 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5126 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5127 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5131 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5132 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5133 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5136 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5137 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5138 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5140 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5145 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5146 allow for regexp matching on streams
5148 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5149 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5150 g_variant_new_printf()
5154 - we can now generate TAP output
5156 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5157 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5159 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5164 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5290 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5291 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5292 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

5475 ==============================================
5477 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5478 and a parser API for them is now provided
5480 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5481 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5482 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5634 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5635 ==============================================
5637 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5638 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5639 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5640 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5641 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5645 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5646 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5648 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
5649 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
5650 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

5806 * Translation updates:
5821 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5822 ==============================================
5824 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5825 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5826 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5827 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5828 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5830 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5831 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5832 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5833 particular, are incompatible.
5835 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5880 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5881 ==============================================
5883 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5884 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5885 causing regressions in applications.
5887 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5888 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5889 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5892 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5893 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5894 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5896 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5898 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5900 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5902 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5904 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5906 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5908 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5910 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5912 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5914 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5967 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5968 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5970 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5971 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5973 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5975 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

6811 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6812 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6813 to an overridden property
6814 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6815 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6817 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

6865 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6866 moved to GtkApplication.
6868 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6869 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6870 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6871 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6873 * lots of documentation improvements
6875 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes

6902 * Translations updated:
6906 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6907 ==============================================
6909 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6910 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6911 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6914 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6915 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6916 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6919 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6920 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6921 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6922 through an idle on the context.
6924 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6925 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6926 fixes here and there.
6928 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6929 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6930 API available outside GLib
6932 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6967 ==============================================
6969 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
6971 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
6973 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6974 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6975 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6977 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6980 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6981 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6982 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6985 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
6986 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

6994 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
6996 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6997 =================================================
6999 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7000 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7002 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7003 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7004 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7005 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7006 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7007 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7008 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7009 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7010 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7011 required (and has been deprecated)
7012 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7013 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7014 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7015 without explicit initialisation.
7016 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7017 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7018 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7020 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7021 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7022 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7023 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7024 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7025 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7026 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7028 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7029 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7030 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7031 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7032 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7033 - other implementation details changed
7035 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7036 deprecated/ directory.
7038 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7039 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7040 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7042 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7043 platform over a year ago).
7045 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7046 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7048 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7049 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7051 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7052 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7053 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7054 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7057 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7058 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7061 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7063 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7064 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7066 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7067 in a multi-threaded program
7069 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7070 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7073 - drop -uninstalled variants
7074 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7076 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7077 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7078 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7080 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7082 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7083 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7086 - many code generation updates and improvements
7087 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7090 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7091 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7093 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7095 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7098 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7099 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7101 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7102 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7104 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7106 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7110 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7111 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7536 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
7537 ==============================================
7539 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7540 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7541 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7542 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7543 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7544 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7546 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7547 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7549 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7551 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7553 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

7604 * Updated translations:
7613 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7614 ==============================================
7617 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7618 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7619 an 'object manager' pattern:
7620 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7621 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7622 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7623 And server-side implementations:
7624 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7625 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7626 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7630 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7634 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7635 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7636 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7637 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7640 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7641 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7644 * Unix-specific APIs:
7645 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7646 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7647 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7648 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7649 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7650 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7672 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
7674 * Updated translations
7681 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7682 ==============================================
7685 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7686 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7687 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7690 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7691 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7692 situations has been improved
7695 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7696 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7699 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7700 match strcmp() semantics
7701 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7702 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7703 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7705 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7706 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7709 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7711 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7713 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7714 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7715 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7993 ==============================================
7995 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
7996 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8001 g_get_monotonic_time
8003 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8006 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8008 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

8033 * Translation updates:
8041 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8042 ==============================================
8045 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8046 - Support environment passing
8049 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8050 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8052 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8053 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8054 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8058 158725 free linked list with data
8059 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8060 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
8061 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
8062 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
8063 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
8064 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
8065 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option
8066 633115 GSettings m4 doesn't fail the build for broken schemas

8068 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
8069 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
8071 * Translation updates:
8077 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8078 ==============================================
8080 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8081 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8083 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8084 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8086 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8088 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8090 g_settings_get_range
8091 g_settings_range_check
8092 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8094 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8095 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8097 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8098 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8100 g_main_context_invoke
8101 g_main_context_invoke_full
8103 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8104 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8105 looking for default applications.
8107 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8108 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8109 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8110 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8112 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8113 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8114 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8371 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8372 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8373 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8375 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8376 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8377 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8378 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8381 There have been many other improvements, however:
8384 - vastly improved test coverage
8385 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8386 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8387 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8436 =====================================================
8438 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8439 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8440 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8441 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8442 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8443 | required (and will be along soon). |
8444 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8447 - cleanup automake setup
8448 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8449 - various docs fixups
8450 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8466 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
8467 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8468 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8469 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8472 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8504 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
8505 =====================================================
8507 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8508 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8509 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8510 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8511 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8514 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8515 -Bsymbolic-functions
8516 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8517 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8518 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8519 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8520 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8523 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8524 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8525 nobody was doing that.
8526 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8528 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8529 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8531 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8532 have a serial number
8533 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8535 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8537 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8538 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8539 has finished running on GDBus services.
8540 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8541 this due to the obvious race)
8542 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8543 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8546 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8547 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8548 arguments and different behaviour
8549 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8550 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8551 strings instead of utf8 strings
8552 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8553 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8554 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8555 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8556 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8557 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8558 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8559 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8560 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8563 - improved documentation
8564 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8565 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8566 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8567 overridden using <override>.
8568 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8570 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8571 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8572 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8573 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8574 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8575 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8576 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8577 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8578 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8579 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8580 being set due to a premature free
8581 - command line tool: bash completion support
8582 - chain up in _finalize
8583 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8585 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8586 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8587 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8589 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8590 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8591 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8592 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8593 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8597 - always intern GBinding prop names
8598 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8599 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8600 - GNode docs improvements
8601 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8602 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8603 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8607 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8608 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8609 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8610 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8611 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8612 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8613 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8614 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8616 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8617 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8618 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8619 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8620 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8621 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8622 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
8623 610784 array test failing
8624 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8625 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
8626 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
8627 622124 implement flags

9306 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
9307 ===================================================
9310 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9311 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9312 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9313 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9314 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9315 while loading or saving it.
9316 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9317 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9318 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9321 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9322 interfaces to dynamic types.
9325 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9326 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
9327 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10045 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10046 ===================================================
10048 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10049 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10050 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10051 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10052 also uses less memory overall.
10054 * Make g_poll available as public api
10056 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10057 that a GError is set or unset
10059 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10061 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10062 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10064 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10065 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11634 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
11635 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]

11643 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
11644 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
11645 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11646 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11647 variants [Martyn Russell]
11650 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
11651 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
11654 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
11657 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
11658 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
11659 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
11660 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
11661 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
11662 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
11663 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

11676 - Other improvements [Morten Welinder]
11678 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
11679 =================================================
11681 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11682 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11683 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11685 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11686 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11689 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11690 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11691 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11692 "stutter stepping".
11693 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11695 * Memory management:
11696 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11697 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11698 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11699 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11700 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11701 never worked as intended.
11702 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11703 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11704 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11705 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11706 efficient and scalable implementation.
11707 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11709 * Pattern matching:
11710 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11711 unnecessary recursion.
11714 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11715 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11716 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11719 * g_thread_foreach:
11720 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11723 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11724 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11725 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11729 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11730 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11731 since they are in glib.h
