1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.62.1
2 ==================================
4 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing
5 `G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS` flag; the destination permissions would be
6 private rather than following the process’ umask (!1142)
8 * Several `GDateTime` parsing fixes (!1127)
10 * Always build the tests if installed-tests are enabled, so that the tests can
11 actually be installed (!1141)

144 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
145 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
147 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
148 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
150 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
151 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
153 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
154 third-party code should now be using

169 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
171 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
173 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
174 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
176 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
178 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
179 of packaged libraries (!951)

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

718 * Translation updates:
723 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
724 ==================================
726 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
727 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
728 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
729 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
731 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
732 directory for each unit test. (#538)
734 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
736 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
738 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
740 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
741 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
742 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
743 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
745 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
746 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
748 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
749 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
750 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
752 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
754 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
755 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
758 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
759 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
761 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
762 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
763 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
765 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
766 portal backends. (!317)
768 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
771 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
773 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
776 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
778 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
781 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
782 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
783 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
785 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
786 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
788 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
789 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
790 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
791 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
793 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
795 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1004 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1005 ==================================
1007 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1008 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1009 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1010 with Meson or autotools. See:
1011 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1013 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1015 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1016 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1018 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1020 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1022 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1023 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1024 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1025 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1028 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1029 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1030 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1031 !265 Network monitor again
1032 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1033 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1034 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1035 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1036 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1037 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1039 * Translation updates:
1049 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1050 ==================================
1052 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1053 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1054 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1055 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1057 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1059 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1061 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1063 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1065 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1066 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1068 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1070 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1071 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1072 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1075 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1077 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1080 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1081 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
1082 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

2264 environment variable.

2486 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2487 ==================================
2489 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2490 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2491 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2492 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2494 This release corrects only this problem.
2496 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2497 ==================================
2499 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2500 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2501 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2503 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2849 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2850 ==================================
2852 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2853 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2854 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2855 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2856 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2857 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2859 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2860 have seen major improvements.
2862 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2863 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2864 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2867 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2869 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2871 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2873 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2874 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2875 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2876 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2877 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2878 you use the --strict option.
2880 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2881 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2882 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2884 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2886 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2887 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2888 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2934 ===================================
2936 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2937 before the release of 2.44.0.
2939 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2941 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2942 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2943 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2944 default in the next cycle.
2946 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
2948 * new GTask:completed property
2950 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
2951 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

2991 ===================================
2993 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
2994 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
2995 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
2997 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the

3534 =====================================================
3536 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
3537 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
3538 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3539 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3540 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3541 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
3543 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
3546 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken

3789 * Translations updates:
3796 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3797 ====================================================
3799 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3801 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3803 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3804 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3807 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3808 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3811 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3813 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3815 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3818 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3819 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3821 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3823 * Applications/Actions
3825 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3826 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3829 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3830 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3832 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3833 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3834 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3835 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3839 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3840 accesses that are performed in common situations
3842 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3843 are installed/removed
3845 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3846 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3848 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3849 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3854 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3856 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3857 that test programs don't pick them up
3859 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3861 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3862 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3863 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3864 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3866 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3867 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3869 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3870 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3871 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3875 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3877 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3879 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3881 Translations updated:

3931 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3932 ====================================================
3934 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3938 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3940 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3941 them can restart the application with an action (via
3946 - new API for launching subprocesses
3948 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3950 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3952 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3953 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3955 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3957 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3959 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3960 actions and listing apps and actions
3962 - bash tab completion is supported
3964 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3966 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3967 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3969 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3970 DBusActivatable=true
3972 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3973 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3978 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3980 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3981 class and inotify backend
3983 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3984 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3986 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3991 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3992 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3993 when there are invalid schemas installed
3995 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3999 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4000 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4002 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4005 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4006 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4007 semantics of the interface in each case
4009 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4010 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4012 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4014 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4015 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4016 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4017 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4021 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4024 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4026 * Portability improvements
4028 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4030 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4031 actually support it (like Hurd)
4033 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4035 * Other small API changes/additions
4037 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4038 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4039 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4041 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4043 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4044 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4046 * GMainContext/GSource
4048 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4050 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4051 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4052 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4053 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4054 broken and should probably be fixed.
4056 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4057 require use of a linked list
4061 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4062 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4063 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4065 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4069 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4070 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4071 gphoto, archive, at least).
4073 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4075 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4078 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4079 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4080 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4082 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4084 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4086 * Many documentation improvements
4089 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

4144 What's new in Glib 2.38
4145 ========================
4147 * Application support
4149 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4150 desktop entry specification
4152 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4153 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4154 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4156 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4157 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4158 to launch other applications
4160 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4161 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4165 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4166 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4167 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4168 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4169 any problems that this may have caused.
4171 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4172 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4173 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4174 (allowing memory savings)
4176 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4177 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4178 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4180 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4181 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4184 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4185 without destroying one of the objects involved
4189 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4190 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4191 with a finite number of cases
4193 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4194 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4196 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4197 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4198 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4199 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4202 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4206 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4207 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4208 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4210 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4212 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4213 and an API to check them
4215 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4216 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4218 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4219 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4223 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4224 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4225 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4228 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4229 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4230 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4232 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4237 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4238 allow for regexp matching on streams
4240 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4241 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4242 g_variant_new_printf()
4246 - we can now generate TAP output
4248 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4249 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4251 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4256 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4381 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
4382 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4383 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4384 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
4386 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
4387 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

4566 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
4567 ==============================================
4569 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4570 and a parser API for them is now provided
4572 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4573 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4574 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4667 ==============================================
4669 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4670 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4671 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other

4726 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4727 ==============================================
4729 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4730 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4731 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4732 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4733 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4737 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4738 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4740 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4741 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4742 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4743 * documentation fixes
4744 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4747 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
4748 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h

4761 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4762 ==============================================
4764 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4766 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4767 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4769 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4770 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4772 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4785 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4786 ==============================================
4788 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
4791 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become

4898 * Translation updates:
4913 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4914 ==============================================
4916 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4917 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4918 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4919 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4920 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4922 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4923 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4924 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4925 particular, are incompatible.
4927 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4961 * Translation updates:
4972 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4973 ==============================================
4975 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4976 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4977 causing regressions in applications.
4979 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4980 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4981 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4984 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4985 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4986 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4988 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4990 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4992 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4994 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4996 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4998 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5000 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5002 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5004 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5006 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5056 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
5057 ==============================================
5059 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5060 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5062 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5063 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5065 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5067 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
5069 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
5071 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
5073 * GLib version macros updated
5075 * Update to Unicode 6.2

5903 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5904 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5905 to an overridden property

5907 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5909 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5910 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

5957 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5958 moved to GtkApplication.
5960 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5961 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5962 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5963 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5965 * lots of documentation improvements
5967 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5969 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5970 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)

6001 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6002 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6003 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6006 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6007 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6008 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6011 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6012 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6013 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6014 through an idle on the context.
6016 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6017 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6018 fixes here and there.
6020 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6021 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6022 API available outside GLib
6024 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6059 ==============================================
6061 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
6063 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
6065 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6066 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6067 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6069 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6072 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6073 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6074 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6077 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

6088 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6089 =================================================
6091 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6092 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6094 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6095 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6096 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6097 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6098 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6099 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6100 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6101 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6102 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6103 required (and has been deprecated)
6104 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6105 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6106 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6107 without explicit initialisation.
6108 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6109 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6110 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6112 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6113 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6114 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6115 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6116 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6117 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6118 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6120 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6121 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6122 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6123 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6124 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6125 - other implementation details changed
6127 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6128 deprecated/ directory.
6130 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6131 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6132 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6134 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6135 platform over a year ago).
6137 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6138 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6140 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6141 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6143 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6144 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6145 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6146 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6149 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6150 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6153 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6155 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6156 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6158 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6159 in a multi-threaded program
6161 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6162 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6165 - drop -uninstalled variants
6166 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6168 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6169 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6170 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6172 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6174 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6175 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6178 - many code generation updates and improvements
6179 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6182 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6183 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6185 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6187 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6190 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6191 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6193 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6194 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6196 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6198 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
6202 * Partial list of bugs closed:
6203 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6628 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6629 ==============================================
6631 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6632 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6633 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6634 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6635 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6636 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6638 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6639 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6641 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6643 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6645 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

6696 * Updated translations:
6705 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6706 ==============================================
6709 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6710 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6711 an 'object manager' pattern:
6712 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6713 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6714 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6715 And server-side implementations:
6716 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6717 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6718 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6722 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6726 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6727 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6728 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6729 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6732 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6733 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6736 * Unix-specific APIs:
6737 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6738 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6739 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6740 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6741 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6742 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6764 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6766 * Updated translations
6773 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6774 ==============================================
6777 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6778 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6779 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6782 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6783 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6784 situations has been improved
6787 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6788 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6791 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6792 match strcmp() semantics
6793 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6794 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6795 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6797 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6798 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6801 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6803 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6805 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6806 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6807 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7169 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7170 ==============================================
7172 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7173 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7175 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7176 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7178 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7180 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7182 g_settings_get_range
7183 g_settings_range_check
7184 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7186 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7187 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7189 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7190 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7192 g_main_context_invoke
7193 g_main_context_invoke_full
7195 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7196 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7197 looking for default applications.
7199 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7200 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7201 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7202 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7204 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7205 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7206 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
7209 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

7463 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7464 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7465 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7467 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7468 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7469 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7470 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7473 There have been many other improvements, however:
7476 - vastly improved test coverage
7477 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7478 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7479 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

7528 =====================================================
7530 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7531 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7532 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7533 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7534 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7535 | required (and will be along soon). |
7536 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7539 - cleanup automake setup
7540 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7541 - various docs fixups
7542 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7559 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7560 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7561 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7564 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7597 =====================================================
7599 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7600 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7601 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7602 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7603 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7606 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7607 -Bsymbolic-functions
7608 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7609 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7610 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7611 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7612 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7615 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7616 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7617 nobody was doing that.
7618 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7620 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7621 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7623 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7624 have a serial number
7625 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7627 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7629 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7630 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7631 has finished running on GDBus services.
7632 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7633 this due to the obvious race)
7634 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7635 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7638 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7639 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7640 arguments and different behaviour
7641 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7642 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7643 strings instead of utf8 strings
7644 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7645 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7646 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7647 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7648 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7649 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7650 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7651 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7652 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7655 - improved documentation
7656 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7657 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7658 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7659 overridden using <override>.
7660 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7662 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7663 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7664 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7665 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7666 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7667 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7668 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7669 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7670 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7671 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7672 being set due to a premature free
7673 - command line tool: bash completion support
7674 - chain up in _finalize
7675 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7677 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7678 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7679 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7681 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7682 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7683 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7684 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7685 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7689 - always intern GBinding prop names
7690 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7691 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7692 - GNode docs improvements
7693 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7694 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7695 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7699 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7700 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7701 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7702 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7703 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7704 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7705 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7706 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7708 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7709 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7710 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7711 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7712 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

8399 ===================================================
8402 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8403 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8404 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8405 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8406 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
8407 while loading or saving it.
8408 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
8409 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8410 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8413 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8414 interfaces to dynamic types.
8417 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
8418 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
8419 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

9137 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
9138 ===================================================
9140 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
9141 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
9142 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
9143 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
9144 also uses less memory overall.
9146 * Make g_poll available as public api
9148 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
9149 that a GError is set or unset
9151 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
9153 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
9154 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
9156 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
9157 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10737 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
10738 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10739 variants [Martyn Russell]

10771 =================================================
10773 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10774 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10775 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10777 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10778 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10781 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10782 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10783 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10784 "stutter stepping".
10785 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10787 * Memory management:
10788 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10789 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10790 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10791 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10792 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10793 never worked as intended.
10794 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10795 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10796 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10797 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10798 efficient and scalable implementation.
10799 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10801 * Pattern matching:
10802 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10803 unnecessary recursion.
10806 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10807 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10808 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10811 * g_thread_foreach:
10812 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10815 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10816 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10817 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10821 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10822 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10823 since they are in glib.h
