259 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
260 ==================================
262 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
263 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
264 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
265 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
267 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
268 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
269 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
271 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
272 environment variable.

275 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

420 * Translation updates:
432 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
433 ==================================
435 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
436 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
437 is unavailable or undesired.
439 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
440 glib-networking will also be required.

494 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
495 ==================================
497 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
498 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
499 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
500 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
502 This release corrects only this problem.
504 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
505 ==================================
507 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
508 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
509 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
511 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

850 * Translation updates:
857 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
858 ==================================
860 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
861 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
862 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
863 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
864 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
865 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
867 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
868 have seen major improvements.
870 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
871 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
872 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
875 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
877 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
879 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
881 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
882 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
883 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
884 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
885 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
886 you use the --strict option.
888 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
889 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
890 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
892 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
894 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
895 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
896 default handlers for a generic supertype.

942 ===================================
944 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
945 before the release of 2.44.0.
947 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
949 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
950 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
951 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
952 default in the next cycle.
954 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
956 * new GTask:completed property

999 ===================================
1001 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro

1003 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1005 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1006 effective busy state.

1055 ==================================
1057 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
1058 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
1059 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.

1240 - introspection warning fixes
1242 - g_application_add_main_option now uses an enum instead of an 'int'

1548 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1549 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1804 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1805 ====================================================
1807 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1809 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1811 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1812 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1815 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1816 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1819 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1821 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1823 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1826 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1827 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1829 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1831 * Applications/Actions
1833 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1834 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1837 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1838 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1840 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1841 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1842 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1843 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1847 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1848 accesses that are performed in common situations
1850 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1851 are installed/removed
1853 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1854 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1856 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1857 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1862 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1864 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1865 that test programs don't pick them up
1867 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1869 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1870 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1871 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1872 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1874 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1875 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1877 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1878 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1879 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1883 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1885 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1887 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
1889 Translations updated:

1907 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
1908 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
1909 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

1939 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1940 ====================================================
1942 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1946 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1948 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1949 them can restart the application with an action (via
1954 - new API for launching subprocesses
1956 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1958 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1960 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1961 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1963 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1965 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1967 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1968 actions and listing apps and actions
1970 - bash tab completion is supported
1972 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1974 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1975 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1977 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1978 DBusActivatable=true
1980 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1981 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1986 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1988 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1989 class and inotify backend
1991 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1992 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1994 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1999 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2000 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2001 when there are invalid schemas installed
2003 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2007 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2008 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2010 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2013 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2014 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2015 semantics of the interface in each case
2017 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2018 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2020 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2022 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2023 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2024 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2025 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2029 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2032 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2034 * Portability improvements
2036 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2038 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2039 actually support it (like Hurd)
2041 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2043 * Other small API changes/additions
2045 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2046 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2047 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2049 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2051 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2052 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2054 * GMainContext/GSource
2056 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2058 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2059 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2060 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2061 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2062 broken and should probably be fixed.
2064 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2065 require use of a linked list
2069 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2070 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2071 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2073 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2077 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2078 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2079 gphoto, archive, at least).
2081 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2083 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2086 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2087 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2088 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2090 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2092 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2094 * Many documentation improvements
2097 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2098 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2099 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2152 What's new in Glib 2.38
2153 ========================
2155 * Application support
2157 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2158 desktop entry specification
2160 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2161 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2162 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2164 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2165 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2166 to launch other applications
2168 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2169 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2173 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2174 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2175 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2176 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2177 any problems that this may have caused.
2179 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2180 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2181 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2182 (allowing memory savings)
2184 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2185 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2186 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2188 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2189 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2192 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2193 without destroying one of the objects involved
2197 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2198 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2199 with a finite number of cases
2201 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2202 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2204 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2205 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2206 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2207 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2210 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2214 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2215 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2216 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2218 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2220 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2221 and an API to check them
2223 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2224 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2226 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2227 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2231 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2232 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2233 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2236 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2237 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2238 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2240 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2245 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2246 allow for regexp matching on streams
2248 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2249 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2250 g_variant_new_printf()
2254 - we can now generate TAP output
2256 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2257 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2259 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2264 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2386 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2387 ==============================================
2389 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2390 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2391 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2392 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2394 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2395 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2398 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2400 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2401 the key was locked down)
2403 * Miscellaneous new api:
2404 - g_variant_new_printf
2405 - g_action_print_detailed_name
2406 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind
2409 664444 Support additional application actions in .desktop files

2459 ==============================================
2461 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
2463 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
2464 build the unmodified source
2466 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
2468 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
2469 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
2470 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
2477 698375 - D-Bus async properties

2483 ==============================================
2485 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2486 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2488 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2489 and will trigger a warning.

2527 ==============================================
2529 * add support for installed tests:
2530 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
2532 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
2533 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2535 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2537 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2539 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
2540 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
2541 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
2543 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

2578 and a parser API for them is now provided
2580 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2581 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2582 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2647 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
2648 the destination file
2650 - fix some 'available since' annotations

2674 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2675 ==============================================
2677 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2678 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2679 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2680 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2735 ==============================================
2737 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2738 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2739 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2740 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2741 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2745 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris

2770 ==============================================
2772 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2774 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2775 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2777 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2778 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2780 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2793 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2794 ==============================================
2796 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2799 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2800 ready at a specified monotonic time
2802 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
2804 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

2921 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2922 ==============================================
2924 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2925 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2926 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2927 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2928 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2930 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2931 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2932 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2933 particular, are incompatible.
2935 * Bugs fixed in this release:
2936 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

2980 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2981 ==============================================
2983 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2984 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2985 causing regressions in applications.
2987 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2988 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2989 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2992 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2993 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2994 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2996 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2998 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3000 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3002 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3004 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use

3911 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3912 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3913 to an overridden property
3914 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3915 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3917 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
3918 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

3962 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
3963 ==============================================
3965 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3966 moved to GtkApplication.
3968 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3969 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3970 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3971 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3973 * lots of documentation improvements
3975 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3977 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3978 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3980 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3982 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3984 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3986 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3987 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
3990 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
3991 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4002 * Translations updated:
4006 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4007 ==============================================
4009 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4010 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4011 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4014 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4015 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4016 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4019 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4020 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4021 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4022 through an idle on the context.
4024 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4025 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4026 fixes here and there.
4028 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4029 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4030 API available outside GLib
4032 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4074 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4075 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4077 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4080 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4081 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4096 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4097 =================================================
4099 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4100 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4102 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4103 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4104 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4105 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4106 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4107 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4108 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4109 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4110 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4111 required (and has been deprecated)
4112 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4113 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4114 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4115 without explicit initialisation.
4116 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4117 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4118 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4120 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4121 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4122 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4123 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4124 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4125 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4126 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4128 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4129 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4130 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4131 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4132 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4133 - other implementation details changed
4135 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4136 deprecated/ directory.
4138 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4139 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4140 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4142 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4143 platform over a year ago).
4145 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4146 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4148 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4149 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4151 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4152 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4153 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4154 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4157 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4158 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4161 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4163 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4164 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4166 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4167 in a multi-threaded program
4169 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4170 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4173 - drop -uninstalled variants
4174 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4176 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4177 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4178 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4180 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4182 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4183 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4186 - many code generation updates and improvements
4187 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4190 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4191 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4193 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4195 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4198 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4199 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4201 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4202 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4204 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4206 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4210 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4211 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4637 ==============================================
4639 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4640 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4641 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4642 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4643 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4644 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4646 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4647 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

4704 * Updated translations:
4713 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4714 ==============================================
4717 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4718 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4719 an 'object manager' pattern:
4720 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4721 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4722 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4723 And server-side implementations:
4724 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4725 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4726 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4730 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4734 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4735 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4736 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4737 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4740 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4741 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4744 * Unix-specific APIs:
4745 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4746 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4747 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4748 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4749 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4750 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4781 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4782 ==============================================
4785 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4786 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4787 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4790 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4791 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4792 situations has been improved
4795 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4796 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4799 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4800 match strcmp() semantics
4801 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4802 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4803 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4805 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4806 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4809 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4811 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4813 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4814 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4815 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5093 ==============================================
5095 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5096 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5101 g_get_monotonic_time
5103 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5106 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5108 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

5146 - Support environment passing
5149 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5150 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5152 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5153 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5154 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5158 158725 free linked list with data

5171 * Translation updates:
5177 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5178 ==============================================
5180 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5181 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5183 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5184 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5186 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5188 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5190 g_settings_get_range
5191 g_settings_range_check
5192 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5194 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5195 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5197 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5198 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5200 g_main_context_invoke
5201 g_main_context_invoke_full
5203 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5204 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5205 looking for default applications.
5207 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5208 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5209 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5210 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5212 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5213 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5214 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5472 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5473 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5475 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5476 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5477 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5478 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5481 There have been many other improvements, however:
5484 - vastly improved test coverage
5485 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5486 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5487 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5536 =====================================================
5538 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5539 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5540 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5541 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5542 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5543 | required (and will be along soon). |
5544 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5547 - cleanup automake setup
5548 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5549 - various docs fixups

5604 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5605 =====================================================
5607 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5608 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5609 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5610 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5611 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5614 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5615 -Bsymbolic-functions
5616 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5617 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5618 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5619 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5620 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5623 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5624 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5625 nobody was doing that.
5626 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5628 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5629 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5631 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5632 have a serial number
5633 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5635 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5637 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5638 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5639 has finished running on GDBus services.
5640 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5641 this due to the obvious race)
5642 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5643 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5646 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5647 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5648 arguments and different behaviour
5649 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5650 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5651 strings instead of utf8 strings
5652 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5653 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5654 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5655 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5656 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5657 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5658 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5659 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5660 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5663 - improved documentation
5664 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5665 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5666 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5667 overridden using <override>.
5668 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5670 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5671 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5672 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5673 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5674 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5675 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5676 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5677 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5678 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5679 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5680 being set due to a premature free
5681 - command line tool: bash completion support
5682 - chain up in _finalize
5683 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5685 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5686 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5687 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5689 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5690 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5691 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5692 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5693 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5697 - always intern GBinding prop names
5698 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5699 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5700 - GNode docs improvements
5701 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5702 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5703 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5707 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5708 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5709 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5710 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5711 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5712 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5713 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5714 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5716 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5717 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5718 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5719 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5720 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5721 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5722 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
5723 610784 array test failing
5724 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5725 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

6417 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6418 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6421 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6422 interfaces to dynamic types.
