71 Overview of changes in GLib 2.73.3, 05-08-2022
72 ==============================================
74 * Revitalize G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE flag and use it to enable PCRE JIT compiler (work
75 by Aleksei Rybalkin) (!2817)

78 by Aleksei Rybalkin, Mamoru TASAKA and Marco Trevisan) (!2814, !2827, #2694,
81 * Fix a pidfd leak that was introduced in the previous release (work by
82 Christian Hergert) (#2708)
84 * Support compilation without a C++ toolchain (work by James Hilliard) (!2822)
86 * GDBus: Use namespace-friendly protocol for Linux message buses, and optionally
87 other connections (work by Simon McVittie) (!2832)

90 Marco Trevisan) (!2823)
92 * Add back gio-launch-desktop to redirect stdout/stderr of launched
93 GDesktopAppInfo's to the journal with proper parent (work by Simon McVittie)
96 * Executables that are invoked when installing other software, typically
97 from packaging system triggers, can now be installed into
98 architecture-dependent locations. Unix OS distributors who install
99 GLib for more than one architecture in parallel (multiarch or multilib
100 installations) should consider building with -Dmultiarch=true, installing
101 the bin/glib-compile-schemas and bin/gio-querymodules symbolic links in
102 packages for the primary architecture, and omitting those symlinks from
103 packages for secondary architectures. (work by Simon McVittie) (!2818)
105 * Some enumerators introduced in previous releases have been changed, for better
106 introspection results:
107 - G_MARKUP_PARSE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_MARKUP_DEFAULT_FLAGS
108 - G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_NO_FLAGS

117 * Improve default value of glib_debug option: G_ENABLE_DEBUG will be defined
118 only if using `--buildtype=debug` or enabled via `-Dglib_debug`, but it
119 won't ever be set if an optimized build is requested (specifically if the
120 optimization level is not `0` or `g`) as it may be the case when using
121 `--buildtype=debugoptimized` (work by Michael Catanzaro) (!2851)

1812 * Add new `--run-prefix` and `--skip-prefix` options to GTest, to allow running
1813 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
1815 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
1816 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
1817 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
1818 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
1819 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
1820 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

2957 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
2958 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
2960 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
2961 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)

2964 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
2966 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
2967 third-party code should now be using

2984 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
2986 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
2987 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
2989 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
2991 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
2992 of packaged libraries (!951)
2994 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

3121 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.1
3122 ==================================
3124 * `g_unichar_isxdigit()` and `g_unichar_xdigit_value()` now handle full-width
3125 characters (U+FF21–U+FF26 and U+FF41–U+FF46) (#58)
3127 * Deprecate `gtester` utility and its test reporting format and enable TAP
3128 output by default instead — the `--tap` option to tests is now a no-op
3131 * Add `g_test_summary()` to allow test authors to programmatically summarise
3132 what each unit test in a test suite does (#1450)
3134 * Upgrade to Unicode Character Database v12.1 (#1713, !822)

3141 * Fix GTask wait times growing faster than the number of task threads (#1683)
3143 * Change `GApplication` to ignore `-psn_*` arguments on the macOS command line,
3144 as they are irrelevant (#1784)
3146 * Add `g_autoqueue()` helper macros, similar to `g_autolist()` (!474)
3148 * Add pre-allocated link helpers for `GList` and `GQueue`:
3149 - `g_list_insert_before_link()`
3150 - `g_queue_insert_before_link()`
3151 - `g_queue_insert_after_link()`
3153 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
3154 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)
3156 * Add `g_clear_signal_handler()` to allow disconnecting from a `GObject` signal
3157 and clearing the signal handler ID to zero in a single call (!819)
3159 * Add `g_autoptr()` support for `GRWLock` (!825)
3161 * Define `G_OS_UNIX`, not `G_OS_WIN32`, when GLib is built agains Cygwin (!862)

3466 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
3467 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
3468 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

3536 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
3537 ==================================
3539 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
3540 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
3541 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
3542 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
3544 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
3545 directory for each unit test. (#538)
3547 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
3549 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
3551 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
3553 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
3554 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
3555 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
3556 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
3558 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
3559 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
3561 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
3562 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
3563 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
3565 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
3567 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
3568 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
3571 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
3572 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
3574 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
3575 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
3576 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
3578 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
3579 portal backends. (!317)
3581 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
3584 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
3586 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
3589 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
3591 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
3594 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
3595 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
3596 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
3598 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
3599 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
3601 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
3602 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
3603 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
3604 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
3606 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
3608 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

3817 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
3818 ==================================
3820 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
3821 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
3822 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
3823 with Meson or autotools. See:
3824 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
3826 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
3828 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
3829 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
3831 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
3833 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
3835 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
3836 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
3837 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
3838 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
3841 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
3842 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
3843 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
3844 !265 Network monitor again
3845 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
3846 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
3847 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
3848 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
3849 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
3850 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
3852 * Translation updates:
3862 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
3863 ==================================
3865 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
3866 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
3867 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
3868 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
3870 * Many minor documentation fixes.
3872 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
3874 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
3876 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
3878 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
3879 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
3881 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
3883 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
3884 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
3885 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
3888 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
3890 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
3893 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
3894 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
3895 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

5064 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
5065 ==================================
5067 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
5068 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
5069 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
5070 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
5072 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
5073 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
5074 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
5076 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
5077 environment variable.
5079 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
5080 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

5246 is unavailable or undesired.
5248 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

5299 * Translation updates:
5303 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
5304 ==================================
5306 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
5307 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
5308 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
5309 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
5311 This release corrects only this problem.
5313 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
5314 ==================================
5316 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
5317 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
5318 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
5320 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

5409 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
5410 ==================================
5412 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
5413 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
5414 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
5415 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
5416 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
5419 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
5420 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
5421 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
5422 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
5423 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
5424 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
5425 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

5681 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
5682 ==================================
5684 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
5685 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
5686 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
5687 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
5688 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
5689 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
5691 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
5692 have seen major improvements.
5694 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
5695 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
5696 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
5699 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
5701 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
5703 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
5705 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
5706 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
5707 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
5708 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
5709 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
5710 you use the --strict option.
5712 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
5713 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
5714 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
5716 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
5718 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
5719 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
5720 default handlers for a generic supertype.

5765 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
5766 ===================================
5768 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
5769 before the release of 2.44.0.
5771 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
5773 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
5774 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
5775 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
5776 default in the next cycle.
5778 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
5780 * new GTask:completed property
5782 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of

5823 ===================================
5825 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
5826 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
5827 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
5829 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
5830 effective busy state.
5832 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

5883 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
5885 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
5886 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

6337 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
6338 =====================================================
6340 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
6342 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
6343 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
6344 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
6345 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
6346 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
6347 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
6348 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
6349 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
6350 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
6351 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
6352 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
6354 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
6355 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
6357 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
6361 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
6362 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private
6363 724859 Let the test_wait_until() test also run on non-*nix
6364 724916 gio unmount code makes XFCE's Thunar crash

6366 725656 Unskip GVariantDict
6367 725891 gio tests: add codegen to BUILT_SOURCES
6368 726046 Recent commit created symbolic icons issues
6380 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
6381 =====================================================
6383 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
6384 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
6385 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
6386 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
6387 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
6388 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
6390 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

6643 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
6644 ====================================================
6646 * GSettings fixes/improvements
6648 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
6650 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
6651 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
6654 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
6655 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
6658 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
6660 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
6662 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
6665 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
6666 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
6668 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
6670 * Applications/Actions
6672 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
6673 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
6676 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
6677 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
6679 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
6680 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
6681 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
6682 not itself at fault for the errant call)
6686 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
6687 accesses that are performed in common situations
6689 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
6690 are installed/removed
6692 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
6693 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
6695 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
6696 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
6701 - ignore qualified tags, as above
6703 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
6704 that test programs don't pick them up
6706 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
6708 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
6709 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
6710 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
6711 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
6713 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
6714 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
6716 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
6717 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
6718 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
6722 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
6724 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
6726 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

6778 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
6779 ====================================================
6781 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
6785 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
6787 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
6788 them can restart the application with an action (via
6793 - new API for launching subprocesses
6795 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
6797 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
6799 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
6800 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
6802 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
6804 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
6806 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
6807 actions and listing apps and actions
6809 - bash tab completion is supported
6811 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
6813 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
6814 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
6816 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
6817 DBusActivatable=true
6819 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
6820 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
6825 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
6827 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
6828 class and inotify backend
6830 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
6831 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
6833 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
6838 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
6839 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
6840 when there are invalid schemas installed
6842 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
6846 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
6847 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
6849 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
6852 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
6853 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
6854 semantics of the interface in each case
6856 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
6857 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
6859 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
6861 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
6862 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
6863 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
6864 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
6868 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
6871 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
6873 * Portability improvements
6875 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
6877 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
6878 actually support it (like Hurd)
6880 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
6882 * Other small API changes/additions
6884 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
6885 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
6886 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
6888 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
6890 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
6891 G_LOG_ERROR messages
6893 * GMainContext/GSource
6895 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
6897 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
6898 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
6899 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
6900 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
6901 broken and should probably be fixed.
6903 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
6904 require use of a linked list
6908 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
6909 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
6910 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
6912 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
6916 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
6917 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
6918 gphoto, archive, at least).
6920 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
6922 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
6925 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
6926 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
6927 (which shared exactly the same bug)
6929 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
6931 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
6933 * Many documentation improvements
6936 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
6937 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
6938 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

6985 Brazilian Portuguese
6991 What's new in Glib 2.38
6992 ========================
6994 * Application support
6996 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
6997 desktop entry specification
6999 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
7000 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
7001 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
7003 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
7004 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
7005 to launch other applications
7007 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
7008 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
7012 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
7013 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
7014 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
7015 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
7016 any problems that this may have caused.
7018 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
7019 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
7020 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
7021 (allowing memory savings)
7023 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
7024 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
7025 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
7027 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
7028 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
7031 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
7032 without destroying one of the objects involved
7036 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
7037 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
7038 with a finite number of cases
7040 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
7041 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
7043 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
7044 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
7045 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
7046 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
7049 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
7053 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
7054 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
7055 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
7057 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
7059 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
7060 and an API to check them
7062 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
7063 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
7065 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
7066 with most functions, but this is not recommended
7070 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
7071 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
7072 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
7075 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
7076 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
7077 particular directory (akin to 'du').
7079 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
7084 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
7085 allow for regexp matching on streams
7087 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
7088 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
7089 g_variant_new_printf()
7093 - we can now generate TAP output
7095 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
7096 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
7098 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
7103 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

7225 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
7226 ==============================================
7228 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
7229 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
7230 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
7231 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
7233 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
7234 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
7237 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
7239 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
7240 the key was locked down)
7242 * Miscellaneous new api:
7243 - g_variant_new_printf
7244 - g_action_print_detailed_name

7316 698375 - D-Bus async properties
7317 700350 - timestamp issue
7318 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
7319 700035 - new API for instance private data
7321 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
7322 ==============================================
7324 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
7325 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
7327 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
7328 and will trigger a warning.
7331 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation
7333 - Set prgname to appid for services
7336 549783 gtester lacks framework for tests with data files
7337 692848 Fix property example in gobject tutorial
7338 698018 Add an explicit g_binding_release()
7339 698614 GObject: prevent installing properties after init
7340 699259 add org.freedesktop.Application support to GIO
7341 699959 g_file_copy(): Ensure we create private files by default
7342 700123 Test failure: g_inet_socket_address_get_scope_id
7343 700725 GIcon: NULLify the `type' out param in the sync methods too
7344 701401 gtest: add function for testing for WINE

7348 701680 GFileEnumerator: Add some documentation about ordering
7349 701878 Check wakeup() before iteration(TRUE) doesn't block
7365 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
7366 ==============================================
7368 * add support for installed tests:
7369 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
7371 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
7372 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
7374 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
7376 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
7378 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
7379 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
7380 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
7382 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
7398 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()
7399 694380 Improve signal argument collection performance
7400 695233 Strings require plural forms

7410 700714 [PATCH] gtestutils: Ensure test subprocesses don't dump core
7411 700746 Use 'dumb quotes' rather than `really dumb quotes'
7413 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
7414 ==============================================
7416 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
7417 and a parser API for them is now provided
7419 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
7420 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
7421 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

7481 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
7482 ==============================================
7484 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
7485 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
7486 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
7487 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
7488 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
7489 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
7490 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
7491 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
7492 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
7494 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
7495 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
7496 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
7497 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
7498 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
7500 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
7501 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
7502 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
7503 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
7504 anyone was using it.
7506 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
7508 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
7509 the destination file
7511 - fix some 'available since' annotations
7513 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
7516 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
7517 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
7519 * Translations updated:
7535 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
7536 ==============================================
7538 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
7539 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
7540 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
7541 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

7595 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
7596 ==============================================
7598 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
7599 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
7600 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
7601 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
7602 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
7606 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
7607 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

7613 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals

7631 ==============================================
7633 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
7635 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
7636 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
7638 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
7639 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
7641 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
7654 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
7655 ==============================================
7657 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
7660 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
7661 ready at a specified monotonic time
7663 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
7665 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
7668 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
7669 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

7841 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
7842 ==============================================
7844 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
7845 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
7846 causing regressions in applications.
7848 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
7849 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
7850 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
7853 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
7854 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
7855 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
7857 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
7859 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
7861 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
7863 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
7865 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
7867 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
7869 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
7871 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
7873 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
7875 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

7925 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
7926 ==============================================
7928 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
7929 give feedback if they cause trouble:
7931 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
7932 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
7934 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
7936 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
7938 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
7940 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
7942 * GLib version macros updated
7944 * Update to Unicode 6.2

8513 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
8514 ===============================================
8516 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
8517 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
8518 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
8521 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
8522 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
8523 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
8524 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
8525 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
8526 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
8527 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
8529 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
8530 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
8531 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
8532 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
8533 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
8535 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
8537 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
8539 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
8540 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
8541 private). This means that programs got away with calling
8542 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
8545 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
8546 such programs to break.
8548 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
8549 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
8550 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().

8822 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
8823 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
8824 to an overridden property
8825 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
8826 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
8828 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

8874 ==============================================
8876 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
8877 moved to GtkApplication.
8879 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
8880 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
8881 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
8882 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
8884 * lots of documentation improvements
8886 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
8888 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
8889 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
8891 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
8893 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
8895 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
8897 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
8898 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)

8913 * Translations updated:
8917 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
8918 ==============================================
8920 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
8921 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
8922 There have also been many related improvements to action group
8925 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
8926 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
8927 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
8930 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
8931 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
8932 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
8933 through an idle on the context.
8935 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
8936 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
8937 fixes here and there.
8939 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
8940 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
8941 API available outside GLib

9007 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
9008 =================================================
9010 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
9011 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
9013 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
9014 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
9015 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
9016 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
9017 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
9018 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
9019 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
9020 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
9021 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
9022 required (and has been deprecated)
9023 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
9024 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
9025 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
9026 without explicit initialisation.
9027 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
9028 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
9029 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
9031 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
9032 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
9033 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
9034 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
9035 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
9036 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
9037 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
9039 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
9040 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
9041 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
9042 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
9043 - GThread is now a refcounted type
9044 - other implementation details changed
9046 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
9047 deprecated/ directory.
9049 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
9050 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
9051 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
9053 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
9054 platform over a year ago).
9056 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
9057 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
9059 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
9060 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
9062 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
9063 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
9064 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
9065 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
9068 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
9069 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
9072 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
9074 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
9075 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
9077 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
9078 in a multi-threaded program
9080 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
9081 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
9084 - drop -uninstalled variants
9085 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
9087 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
9088 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
9089 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
9091 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
9093 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
9094 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
9097 - many code generation updates and improvements
9098 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
9101 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
9102 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
9104 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
9106 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
9109 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
9110 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
9112 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
9113 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
9115 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
9117 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
9121 * Partial list of bugs closed:
9122 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.
9123 320888 optimization for g_main_context_wakeup

9233 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
9234 ================================================
9236 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
9237 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
9238 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
9239 GObject depends on libffi now.
9242 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
9243 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
9245 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
9246 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
9247 - check if -lsocket is needed
9248 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
9250 - fix some harmless warnings
9252 * GDateTime improvements:
9253 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
9254 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
9255 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
9256 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
9257 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
9258 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks
9260 * GTlsInteraction: add interaction method invocation guarantees

9292 * GTimeZoneMonitor has been removed again
9294 * A new API for wallclock functionality has been added:
9295 g_date_time_source_new(). This API is still experimental
9296 and may be changed or removed before 2.30.

9552 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
9553 ==============================================
9555 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
9556 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
9557 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
9558 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
9559 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
9560 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
9562 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
9563 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
9565 * Access to quarks is now lockless
9567 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
9569 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

9620 * Updated translations:
9629 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
9630 ==============================================
9633 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
9634 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
9635 an 'object manager' pattern:
9636 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
9637 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
9638 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
9639 And server-side implementations:
9640 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
9641 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
9642 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
9646 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
9650 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
9651 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
9652 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
9653 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
9656 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
9657 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
9660 * Unix-specific APIs:
9661 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
9662 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
9663 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
9664 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
9665 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
9666 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

9697 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
9698 ==============================================
9701 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
9702 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
9703 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
9706 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
9707 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
9708 situations has been improved
9711 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
9712 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
9715 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
9716 match strcmp() semantics
9717 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
9718 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
9719 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
9721 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
9722 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
9725 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
9727 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
9729 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
9730 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
9731 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

9979 and fallback mime handlers
9980 - g_cancellable_create_source: creates a GSource that triggers
9981 when the GCancellable is canceled

10015 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
10016 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
10018 Affected functions:
10021 g_get_monotonic_time
10023 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
10026 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally

10066 - Support environment passing
10069 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
10070 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
10072 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
10073 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
10074 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
10078 158725 free linked list with data
10079 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

10097 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
10098 ==============================================
10100 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
10101 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
10103 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
10104 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
10106 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
10108 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
10110 g_settings_get_range
10111 g_settings_range_check
10112 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
10114 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
10115 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
10117 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
10118 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
10120 g_main_context_invoke
10121 g_main_context_invoke_full
10123 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
10124 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
10125 looking for default applications.
10127 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
10128 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
10129 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
10130 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
10132 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
10133 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
10134 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

10395 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
10396 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
10397 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
10398 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
10401 There have been many other improvements, however:
10404 - vastly improved test coverage
10405 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
10406 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

10459 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
10460 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
10461 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
10462 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |

10525 =====================================================
10527 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10528 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
10529 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
10530 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
10531 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10534 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
10535 -Bsymbolic-functions
10536 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
10537 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
10538 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
10539 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
10540 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
10543 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
10544 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
10545 nobody was doing that.
10546 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
10548 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
10549 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
10551 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
10552 have a serial number
10553 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
10555 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
10557 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
10558 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
10559 has finished running on GDBus services.
10560 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
10561 this due to the obvious race)
10562 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
10563 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
10566 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
10567 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
10568 arguments and different behaviour
10569 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
10570 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
10571 strings instead of utf8 strings
10572 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
10573 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
10574 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
10575 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
10576 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
10577 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
10578 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
10579 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
10580 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
10583 - improved documentation
10584 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
10585 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
10586 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
10587 overridden using <override>.
10588 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
10589 - lots of new tests
10590 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
10591 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
10592 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
10593 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
10594 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
10595 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
10596 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
10597 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
10598 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
10599 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
10600 being set due to a premature free
10601 - command line tool: bash completion support
10602 - chain up in _finalize
10603 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
10605 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
10606 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
10607 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
10609 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
10610 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
10611 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
10612 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
10613 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
10617 - always intern GBinding prop names
10618 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
10619 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
10620 - GNode docs improvements
10621 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
10622 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

10627 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
10628 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
10629 - improved tests for GKeyfile
10630 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
10631 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
10632 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
10633 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
10634 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
10636 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
10637 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
10638 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am

10640 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
10641 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
10642 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
10643 610784 array test failing
10644 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
10645 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

10647 622124 implement flags
10648 622127 GSettings extended key validation

11043 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
11044 ===================================================
11046 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
11047 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
11048 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
11049 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
11050 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

11062 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
11063 ===================================================
11065 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
11066 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
11067 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
11068 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
11070 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
11071 when g_type_init() is called.
11073 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
11074 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
11075 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
11077 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
11078 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
11079 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
11080 is a bug in application code.

11141 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
11144 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
11145 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
11146 - The parser will be in a future release.
11149 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)

11151 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

11254 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
11256 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
11257 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
11258 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
11260 * Threading changes:
11261 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
11262 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
11264 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
11265 when g_type_init() is called.

11344 ===================================================
11347 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
11348 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
11349 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
11350 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
11351 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
11352 while loading or saving it.
11353 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
11354 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
11355 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
11358 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
11359 interfaces to dynamic types.
11362 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
11363 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

11722 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on

11726 for actual socket I/O.
11727 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
11728 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.

11804 ===================================================
11806 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
11807 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
11808 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
11809 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
11810 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
11811 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
11812 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
11813 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
11814 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
11815 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
11816 object with the given URI.
11818 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316

12101 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
12102 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
12103 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
12104 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
12105 also uses less memory overall.
12107 * Make g_poll available as public api
12109 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
12110 that a GError is set or unset

12114 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
12115 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
12117 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

12194 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.7 to GLib 2.18.0
12195 ===================================================
12197 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
12198 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
12199 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
12200 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
12201 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
12202 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

13523 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.10.0 to GLib 2.10.1
13524 ===================================================
13527 314794 Broken pthread detection on Darwin [Gregor Riepl]
13528 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
13529 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
13531 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
13534 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
13535 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
13537 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
13540 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
13541 ==================================================
13543 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
13544 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
13545 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
13546 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
13548 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
13549 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
13551 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
13552 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
13555 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
13556 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
13557 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
13558 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
13559 support ELF visibility attributes.
13561 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
13562 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
13564 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
13565 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
13566 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
13567 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
13568 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
13569 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
13570 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
13571 to help with the transition.

13606 * Memory management:
13607 Runtime debugging support: The slice allocator
13608 can be turned off by setting G_SLICE=always-malloc

13727 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
13728 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
13729 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
13730 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
13733 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
13736 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
13737 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
13738 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
13739 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
13740 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
13741 variants [Martyn Russell]
13744 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
13745 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
13748 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
13751 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
13752 constants [Andrew Paprocki]

13754 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
13755 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
13756 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
13757 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

13770 - Other improvements [Morten Welinder]
13772 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
13773 =================================================
13775 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
13776 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
13777 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
13779 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
13780 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
13783 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
13784 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
13785 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
13786 "stutter stepping".
13787 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
13789 * Memory management:
13790 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
13791 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
13792 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
13793 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
13794 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
13795 never worked as intended.
13796 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
13797 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
13798 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
13799 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
13800 efficient and scalable implementation.
13801 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
13803 * Pattern matching:
13804 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
13805 unnecessary recursion.
13808 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
13809 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
13810 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
13813 * g_thread_foreach:
13814 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
13817 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
13818 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
13819 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
13823 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
13824 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
13825 since they are in glib.h

13841 correctly on ppc64. [Michael Lorenz]
13842 (Third-party code accessing enumeration values
13843 in GValues should also be changed to access
13844 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
13846 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
13847 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

14004 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
14005 =================================================
14007 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
14008 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
14009 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
14010 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
14011 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
14012 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
14013 included through <glib.h>.
14015 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
14016 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
14017 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
14018 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
14019 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
14021 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
14022 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
14023 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
14024 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
14025 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
14027 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
14028 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
14029 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
14030 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
14032 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
14033 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
14034 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
14036 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
14037 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
14038 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
14039 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
14040 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
14041 header files and were never intended to be exported.
14043 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
14044 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
14045 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
14046 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
14048 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
14049 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
14050 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
14051 stderr if you need to see them.
14053 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
14054 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
14055 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
14056 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
14057 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
14058 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
14060 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
14061 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
14062 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
14063 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
14064 work with future versions of GLib.
14067 - GOption, a commandline option parser
14068 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
14069 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
14070 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
14071 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
14073 * Miscellaneous new functions
14074 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
14075 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
14076 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers

14090 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
14093 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
14094 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
14095 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
14096 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
14097 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms

15068 Overview of changes in GLib 1.1.3
15069 =================================
15071 * New GModule mechanism (implemented in an extra library) which wraps dynamic
15072 object code loading facilities in a portable manner.
15073 * glib-config features extra "glib" (old behaviour remains) and "gmodule"
15074 (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
15075 be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
15076 * Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
15077 sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
15078 * New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,
15079 associated with certain log domains (define -DG_LOG_DOMAIN for your library).
15080 * New inline functions for bit masks tests.
15081 * GNode macros (and functions) now return the newly allocated node.
15082 * New macro G_VA_COPY() to work around va_list copying oddities on some
15083 platforms. the non-static g_vsprintf() function vanished in favour of
15084 a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
15085 People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
15086 associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
15087 * New utility functions:
15088 g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
15089 g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
15090 g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
15091 * Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
15092 changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
15093 * The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
15094 new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
15095 keyed data of GtkObjects).
15096 * New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
15097 * Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
15098 * Libtool update to version 1.2b.
15099 * Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)

15120 shared library versioning scheme to deal with interface and binary
15122 * There is a glib-config helper script installed now.

15127 * GScanner extensions for scope, warning and error handling.
15128 * Minor performance improvements for GMemChunks.
15129 * Implementations of GQuarks and datasets (similar to GtkObjects data
15130 mechansim, but works for generic memory locations).
15131 * More convenience macros for GNU C function arguments.
15132 * Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
15134 * Generic functions for TAB completions.
15135 * GRelations for n-way mapping of certain data.
