388 which makes error checking easier (#553)
390 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
391 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
392 variables, or mostly anything else (see

407 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
408 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
409 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
410 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
411 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1575 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1577 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1578 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1580 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1582 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1583 of packaged libraries (!951)
1585 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

2057 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2058 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2059 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

2122 * Translation updates:
2127 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2128 ==================================
2130 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2131 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2132 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2133 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2135 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2136 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2138 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2140 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2142 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2144 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2145 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2146 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2147 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2149 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2150 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2152 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2153 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2154 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2156 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2158 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2159 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2162 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2163 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2165 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2166 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2167 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2169 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2170 portal backends. (!317)
2172 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2175 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2177 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2180 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2182 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2185 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2186 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2187 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2189 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2190 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2192 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2193 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2194 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2195 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2197 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2199 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2408 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2409 ==================================
2411 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2412 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2413 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2414 with Meson or autotools. See:
2415 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2417 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2419 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2420 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2422 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2424 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2426 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2427 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2428 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2429 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2432 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2433 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2434 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2435 !265 Network monitor again
2436 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2437 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2438 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2439 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2440 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2441 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2443 * Translation updates:
2453 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2454 ==================================
2456 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2457 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2458 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2459 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2461 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2463 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2465 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2467 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2469 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2470 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2472 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2474 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2475 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2476 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2479 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2481 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2484 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2485 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2486 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

2519 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
2520 !206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
2521 #1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error

3668 environment variable.

3836 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3837 is unavailable or undesired.
3839 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3840 glib-networking will also be required.

3894 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3895 ==================================
3897 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3898 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3899 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3900 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3902 This release corrects only this problem.
3904 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3905 ==================================
3907 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3908 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3909 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3911 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4000 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4001 ==================================
4003 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4004 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4005 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4006 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4007 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4010 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4011 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4012 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4013 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4014 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4015 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4016 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4272 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4273 ==================================
4275 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4276 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4277 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4278 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4279 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4280 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4282 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4283 have seen major improvements.
4285 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4286 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4287 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4290 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4292 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4294 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4296 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4297 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4298 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4299 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4300 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4301 you use the --strict option.
4303 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4304 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4305 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4307 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4309 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4310 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4311 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4356 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
4357 ===================================
4359 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4360 before the release of 2.44.0.
4362 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4364 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4365 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4366 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4367 default in the next cycle.
4369 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4371 * new GTask:completed property
4373 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4374 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
4377 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
4378 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
4379 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

4388 Translations updated:
4413 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
4414 ===================================
4416 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4417 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4418 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4420 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4421 effective busy state.
4423 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4446 GInputStream and GOutputStream
4448 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
4449 of a boolean property on another object
4451 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
4454 739724 Test functions should have async scope
4455 741024 glist: Mention that g_list_length() is bad for checking list emptiness

4470 ==================================
4472 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4473 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
4474 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4476 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4477 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
4479 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
4481 * GListStore is a GSequence-based implementation of GListModel.
4483 * Support thread names on OS X

4928 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4929 =====================================================
4931 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4933 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
4934 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
4935 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
4936 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
4937 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
4938 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
4939 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
4940 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
4941 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
4942 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
4943 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
4945 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
4946 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
4948 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
4952 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

4971 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4972 =====================================================
4974 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4975 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4976 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4977 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4978 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4979 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4981 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

5234 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5235 ====================================================
5237 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5239 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5241 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5242 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5245 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5246 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5249 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5251 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5253 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5256 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5257 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5259 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5261 * Applications/Actions
5263 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5264 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5267 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5268 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5270 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5271 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5272 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5273 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5277 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5278 accesses that are performed in common situations
5280 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5281 are installed/removed
5283 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5284 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5286 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5287 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5292 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5294 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5295 that test programs don't pick them up
5297 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5299 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5300 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5301 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5302 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5304 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5305 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5307 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5308 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5309 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5313 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5315 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5317 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5319 Translations updated:

5369 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5370 ====================================================
5372 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5376 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5378 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5379 them can restart the application with an action (via
5384 - new API for launching subprocesses
5386 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5388 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5390 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5391 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5393 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5395 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5397 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5398 actions and listing apps and actions
5400 - bash tab completion is supported
5402 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5404 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5405 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5407 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5408 DBusActivatable=true
5410 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5411 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5416 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5418 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5419 class and inotify backend
5421 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5422 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5424 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5429 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5430 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5431 when there are invalid schemas installed
5433 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5437 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5438 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5440 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5443 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5444 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5445 semantics of the interface in each case
5447 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5448 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5450 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5452 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5453 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5454 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5455 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5459 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5462 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5464 * Portability improvements
5466 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5468 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5469 actually support it (like Hurd)
5471 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5473 * Other small API changes/additions
5475 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5476 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5477 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5479 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5481 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5482 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5484 * GMainContext/GSource
5486 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5488 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5489 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5490 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5491 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5492 broken and should probably be fixed.
5494 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5495 require use of a linked list
5499 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5500 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5501 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5503 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5507 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5508 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5509 gphoto, archive, at least).
5511 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5513 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5516 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5517 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5518 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5520 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5522 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5524 * Many documentation improvements

5582 What's new in Glib 2.38
5583 ========================
5585 * Application support
5587 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5588 desktop entry specification
5590 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5591 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5592 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5594 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5595 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5596 to launch other applications
5598 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5599 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5603 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5604 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5605 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5606 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5607 any problems that this may have caused.
5609 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5610 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5611 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5612 (allowing memory savings)
5614 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5615 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5616 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5618 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5619 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5622 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5623 without destroying one of the objects involved
5627 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5628 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5629 with a finite number of cases
5631 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5632 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5634 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5635 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5636 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5637 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5640 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5644 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5645 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5646 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5648 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5650 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5651 and an API to check them
5653 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5654 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5656 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5657 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5661 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5662 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5663 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5666 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5667 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5668 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5670 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5675 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5676 allow for regexp matching on streams
5678 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5679 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5680 g_variant_new_printf()
5684 - we can now generate TAP output
5686 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5687 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5689 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5694 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5820 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5821 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5822 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5824 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5825 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

5913 ==============================================
5915 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5916 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5918 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5919 and will trigger a warning.
5922 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5963 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5965 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5967 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5969 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

6004 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
6005 ==============================================
6007 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6008 and a parser API for them is now provided
6010 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6011 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6012 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
6014 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

6072 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6073 ==============================================
6075 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6076 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6077 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6078 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6079 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6080 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6081 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6082 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6083 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6085 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6086 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6087 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6088 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6089 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6091 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6092 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6093 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6094 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6095 anyone was using it.
6097 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6099 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6100 the destination file
6102 - fix some 'available since' annotations
6104 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
6107 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

6126 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6127 ==============================================
6129 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6130 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6131 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6132 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

6187 ==============================================
6189 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6190 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6191 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6192 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6193 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

6227 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
6229 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang

6374 ==============================================
6376 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6377 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6378 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6379 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the

6382 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6383 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6384 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6385 particular, are incompatible.

6432 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6433 ==============================================
6435 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6436 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6437 causing regressions in applications.
6439 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6440 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6441 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6444 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6445 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6446 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6448 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6450 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6452 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6454 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6456 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6458 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6460 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6462 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6464 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6466 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

7077 * Updated translations:
7104 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7105 ===============================================
7107 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7108 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7109 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7112 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7113 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7114 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7115 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7116 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7117 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7118 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7120 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7121 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7122 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7123 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7124 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7126 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7128 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7130 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7131 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7132 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7133 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7136 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7137 such programs to break.
7139 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7140 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7141 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7143 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7144 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7146 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7148 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7410 ==============================================
7413 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7414 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7415 to an overridden property
7416 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7417 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7419 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7420 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

7464 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7465 ==============================================
7467 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7468 moved to GtkApplication.
7470 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7471 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7472 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7473 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7475 * lots of documentation improvements
7477 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7479 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7480 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7482 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7484 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7486 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7488 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7489 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7492 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7493 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

7497 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7498 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

7504 * Translations updated:
7508 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7509 ==============================================
7511 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7512 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7513 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7516 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7517 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7518 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7521 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7522 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7523 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7524 through an idle on the context.
7526 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7527 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7528 fixes here and there.
7530 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7531 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7532 API available outside GLib
7534 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7575 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7576 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7577 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7579 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7582 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7583 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

7598 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7599 =================================================
7601 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7602 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7604 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7605 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7606 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7607 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7608 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7609 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7610 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7611 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7612 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7613 required (and has been deprecated)
7614 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7615 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7616 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7617 without explicit initialisation.
7618 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7619 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7620 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7622 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7623 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7624 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7625 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7626 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7627 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7628 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7630 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7631 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7632 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7633 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7634 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7635 - other implementation details changed
7637 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7638 deprecated/ directory.
7640 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7641 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7642 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7644 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7645 platform over a year ago).
7647 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7648 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7650 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7651 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7653 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7654 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7655 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7656 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7659 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7660 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7663 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7665 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7666 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7668 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7669 in a multi-threaded program
7671 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7672 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7675 - drop -uninstalled variants
7676 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7678 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7679 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7680 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7682 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7684 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7685 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7688 - many code generation updates and improvements
7689 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7692 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7693 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7695 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7697 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7700 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7701 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7703 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7704 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7706 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7708 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7712 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7713 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7824 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
7825 ================================================
7827 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
7828 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
7829 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
7830 GObject depends on libffi now.
7833 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
7834 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
7836 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
7837 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
7838 - check if -lsocket is needed
7839 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
7841 - fix some harmless warnings
7843 * GDateTime improvements:
7844 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
7845 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
7846 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
7847 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
7848 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
7849 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks
7851 * GTlsInteraction: add interaction method invocation guarantees
7853 * gdbus-codegen: post-process all interfaces when parsing >1 file
7855 * make GMainLoop, GMainContext and GSource boxed types
7857 * fix a race condition in the first use of g_get_monotonic_time()

8144 ==============================================
8146 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8147 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8148 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8149 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8150 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8151 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8153 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8154 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8156 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8158 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

8211 * Updated translations:
8220 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8221 ==============================================
8224 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8225 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8226 an 'object manager' pattern:
8227 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8228 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8229 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8230 And server-side implementations:
8231 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8232 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8233 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8237 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8241 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8242 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8243 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8244 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8247 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8248 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8251 * Unix-specific APIs:
8252 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8253 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8254 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8255 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8256 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8257 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8281 * Updated translations
8288 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8289 ==============================================
8292 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8293 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8294 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8297 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8298 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8299 situations has been improved
8302 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8303 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8306 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8307 match strcmp() semantics
8308 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8309 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8310 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8312 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8313 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8316 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8318 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8320 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8321 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8322 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8660 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8661 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8663 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8664 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8665 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

8682 * Translation updates:
8688 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8689 ==============================================
8691 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8692 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8694 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8695 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8697 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8699 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8701 g_settings_get_range
8702 g_settings_range_check
8703 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8705 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8706 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8708 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8709 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8711 g_main_context_invoke
8712 g_main_context_invoke_full
8714 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8715 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8716 looking for default applications.
8718 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8719 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8720 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8721 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8723 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8724 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8725 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8984 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8986 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8987 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8988 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8989 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8992 There have been many other improvements, however:
8995 - vastly improved test coverage
8996 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8997 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

9050 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
9051 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
9052 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |

9115 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
9116 =====================================================
9118 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9119 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9120 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9121 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9122 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9125 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9126 -Bsymbolic-functions
9127 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9128 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9129 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9130 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9131 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9134 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9135 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9136 nobody was doing that.
9137 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9139 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9140 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9142 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9143 have a serial number
9144 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9146 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9148 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9149 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9150 has finished running on GDBus services.
9151 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9152 this due to the obvious race)
9153 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9154 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9157 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9158 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9159 arguments and different behaviour
9160 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9161 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9162 strings instead of utf8 strings
9163 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9164 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9165 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9166 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9167 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9168 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9169 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9170 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9171 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9174 - improved documentation
9175 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9176 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9177 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9178 overridden using <override>.
9179 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9181 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9182 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9183 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9184 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9185 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9186 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9187 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9188 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9189 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9190 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9191 being set due to a premature free
9192 - command line tool: bash completion support
9193 - chain up in _finalize
9194 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9196 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9197 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9198 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9200 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9201 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9202 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9203 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9204 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9208 - always intern GBinding prop names
9209 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9210 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9211 - GNode docs improvements
9212 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9213 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9214 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
9218 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9219 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9220 - improved tests for GKeyfile
9221 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9222 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9223 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9224 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9225 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9227 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9228 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9229 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9230 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9231 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9232 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9233 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9234 610784 array test failing
9235 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9236 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
9237 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG

9627 * Updated translations:
9634 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9635 ===================================================
9637 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9638 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9639 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9640 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9641 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
9643 * Translation updates:
9653 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9654 ===================================================
9656 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9657 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9658 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9659 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9661 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9662 when g_type_init() is called.
9664 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9665 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9666 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9668 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9669 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9670 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9671 is a bug in application code.
9674 613601 buglet in dup_close_on_exec_fd
9675 584284 g_data_input_stream_read_until_async behaves confusingly

9935 ===================================================
9938 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9939 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9940 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9941 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9942 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9943 while loading or saving it.
9944 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9945 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9946 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9949 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9950 interfaces to dynamic types.
9953 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9954 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

10395 ===================================================
10397 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10398 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10399 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10400 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10401 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10402 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10403 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10404 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10405 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10406 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10407 object with the given URI.
10409 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316
10412 574019 GChecksum: document and guarantee hex characters in lower case
10413 573454 Unable copy/move files to directories symlinked to gvfs share
10414 561172 gnome-open fails on local URIs with anchors
10415 573970 crash in gunixvolumemonitor:update_mounts when unmounting
10416 573843 g_get_current_dir returns non-absolute path

10435 ===================================================
10438 - Considerable speedup
10441 - Add G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION flag to allow replacing
10442 the destination of a copying operation as if it did not exit before.

10444 - Support desktop file key X-GIO-NoFuse which disables the use
10445 of fuse pathnames for %u and %U arguments

10689 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10690 ===================================================
10692 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10693 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10694 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10695 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10696 also uses less memory overall.
10698 * Make g_poll available as public api
10700 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10701 that a GError is set or unset
10703 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10705 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10706 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10708 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10709 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10786 ===================================================
10788 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
10789 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
10790 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
10791 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
10792 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
10793 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12139 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12140 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12142 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12143 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12146 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12147 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12148 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12149 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12150 support ELF visibility attributes.
12152 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12153 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12155 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12156 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12157 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12158 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12159 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12160 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12161 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12162 to help with the transition.

12320 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12321 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12324 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12327 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12328 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12329 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12330 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12331 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12332 variants [Martyn Russell]
12335 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12336 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
12339 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12342 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12343 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
12344 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
12345 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12346 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12347 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12348 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

12363 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12364 =================================================
12366 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12367 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12368 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12370 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12371 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12374 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12375 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12376 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12377 "stutter stepping".
12378 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12380 * Memory management:
12381 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12382 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12383 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12384 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12385 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12386 never worked as intended.
12387 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12388 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12389 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12390 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12391 efficient and scalable implementation.
12392 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12394 * Pattern matching:
12395 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12396 unnecessary recursion.
12399 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12400 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12401 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12404 * g_thread_foreach:
12405 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12408 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12409 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12410 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12414 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12415 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12416 since they are in glib.h

12595 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12596 =================================================
12598 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12599 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12600 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12601 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12602 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12603 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12604 included through <glib.h>.
12606 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12607 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12608 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12609 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12610 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12612 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12613 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12614 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12615 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12616 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12618 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12619 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12620 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12621 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12623 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12624 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12625 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12627 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12628 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12629 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12630 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12631 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12632 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12634 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12635 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12636 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12637 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12639 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12640 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12641 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12642 stderr if you need to see them.
12644 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12645 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12646 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12647 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12648 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12649 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12651 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12652 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12653 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12654 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12655 work with future versions of GLib.
12658 - GOption, a commandline option parser
12659 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
12660 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
12661 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
12662 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
12664 * Miscellaneous new functions
12665 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
12666 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
12667 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers

12681 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
12684 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
12685 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
12686 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
12687 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
