747 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
748 ==================================
750 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
751 which makes error checking easier (#553)
753 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
754 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
755 variables, or mostly anything else (see
756 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
758 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
759 Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)

767 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
769 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
770 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
771 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
772 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
773 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
774 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1898 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
1899 ==================================
1901 * Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
1903 - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
1904 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
1905 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
1906 - `g_array_binary_search()`
1908 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
1910 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
1911 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1912 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1914 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1915 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1917 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1918 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1920 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1921 third-party code should now be using
1922 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
1924 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
1926 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
1928 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
1931 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
1933 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
1934 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
1936 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1938 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1940 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1941 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1943 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1945 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1946 of packaged libraries (!951)
1948 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

2107 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
2108 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

2420 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2421 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2422 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

2490 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2491 ==================================
2493 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2494 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2495 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2496 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2498 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2499 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2501 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2503 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2505 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2507 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2508 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2509 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2510 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2512 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2513 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2515 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2516 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2517 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2519 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2521 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2522 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2525 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2526 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2528 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2529 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2530 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2532 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2533 portal backends. (!317)
2535 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2538 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2540 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2543 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2545 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2548 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2549 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2550 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2552 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2553 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2555 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2556 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2557 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2558 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2560 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2562 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2771 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2772 ==================================
2774 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2775 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2776 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2777 with Meson or autotools. See:
2778 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2780 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2782 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2783 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2785 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2787 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2789 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2790 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2791 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2792 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2795 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2796 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2797 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2798 !265 Network monitor again
2799 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2800 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2801 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2802 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2803 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2804 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2806 * Translation updates:
2816 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2817 ==================================
2819 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2820 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2821 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2822 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2824 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2826 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2828 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2830 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2832 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2833 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2835 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2837 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2838 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2839 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2842 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2844 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2847 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2848 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2849 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
2850 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
2851 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback
2852 #972 Mismatch between gint64 and int64_t on 64-bit macOS/BSD

2882 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
2883 !206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
2884 #1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error

4234 * The GApplication documentation has been improved in several areas.
4237 749092 gdb pretty-printers fail on Python 3 with a TypeError...
4238 757374 macros: clean up "inline" mess
4239 758641 Memory leak in g_dbus_proxy_new_for_bus_sync()
4240 759134 Add missing checks for gnulib vasnprintf()
4241 759408 Do not use uninitialized var
4242 756475 Stop supporting non-POSIX getpwuid_r, getgrgid_r
4243 757372 GApplication: destroy the impl on shutdown
4244 728099 macros: add G_GNUC_CHECK_VERSION() for compiler checks
4245 757299 glib-compile-resources: do not leak c_name
4246 758553 Fix gettext use
4247 758823 file monitors: reorder some code to avoid segfault

4251 752983 gapplication: Acquire the main context before running
4253 * Translation updates:
4257 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
4258 ==================================
4260 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
4261 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
4262 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
4263 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
4265 This release corrects only this problem.
4267 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
4268 ==================================
4270 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
4271 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
4272 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
4274 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4355 * Translation updates:
4363 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4364 ==================================
4366 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4367 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4368 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4369 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4370 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4373 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4374 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4375 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4376 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4377 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4378 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4379 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4635 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4636 ==================================
4638 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4639 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4640 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4641 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4642 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4643 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4645 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4646 have seen major improvements.
4648 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4649 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4650 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4653 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4655 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4657 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4659 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4660 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4661 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4662 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4663 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4664 you use the --strict option.
4666 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4667 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4668 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4670 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4672 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4673 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4674 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4720 ===================================
4722 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4723 before the release of 2.44.0.
4725 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4727 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4728 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4729 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4730 default in the next cycle.
4732 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4734 * new GTask:completed property
4736 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4737 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

4777 ===================================
4779 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4780 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4781 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4783 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4784 effective busy state.

5218 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()

5291 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
5292 =====================================================
5294 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
5296 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
5297 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
5298 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
5299 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
5300 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
5301 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
5302 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
5303 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
5304 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
5305 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
5306 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
5308 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
5309 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
5311 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
5315 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
5316 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

5334 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
5335 =====================================================
5337 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
5338 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
5339 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
5340 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
5341 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition

5590 * Translations updates:
5597 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5598 ====================================================
5600 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5602 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5604 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5605 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5608 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5609 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5612 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5614 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5616 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5619 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5620 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5622 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5624 * Applications/Actions
5626 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5627 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5630 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5631 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5633 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5634 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5635 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5636 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5640 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5641 accesses that are performed in common situations
5643 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5644 are installed/removed
5646 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5647 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5649 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5650 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5655 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5657 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5658 that test programs don't pick them up
5660 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5662 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5663 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5664 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5665 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5667 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5668 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5670 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5671 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5672 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5676 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5678 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5680 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5682 Translations updated:
5690 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

5698 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

5701 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
5702 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

5732 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5733 ====================================================
5735 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5739 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5741 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5742 them can restart the application with an action (via
5747 - new API for launching subprocesses
5749 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5751 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5753 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5754 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5756 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5758 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5760 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5761 actions and listing apps and actions
5763 - bash tab completion is supported
5765 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5767 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5768 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5770 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5771 DBusActivatable=true
5773 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5774 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5779 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5781 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5782 class and inotify backend
5784 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5785 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5787 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5792 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5793 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5794 when there are invalid schemas installed
5796 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5800 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5801 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5803 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5806 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5807 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5808 semantics of the interface in each case
5810 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5811 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5813 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5815 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5816 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5817 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5818 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5822 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5825 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5827 * Portability improvements
5829 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5831 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5832 actually support it (like Hurd)
5834 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5836 * Other small API changes/additions
5838 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5839 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5840 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5842 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5844 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5845 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5847 * GMainContext/GSource
5849 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5851 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5852 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5853 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5854 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5855 broken and should probably be fixed.
5857 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5858 require use of a linked list
5862 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5863 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5864 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5866 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5870 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5871 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5872 gphoto, archive, at least).
5874 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5876 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5879 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5880 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5881 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5883 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5885 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5887 * Many documentation improvements
5890 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
5891 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
5892 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

5945 What's new in Glib 2.38
5946 ========================
5948 * Application support
5950 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5951 desktop entry specification
5953 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5954 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5955 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5957 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5958 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5959 to launch other applications
5961 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5962 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5966 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5967 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5968 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5969 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5970 any problems that this may have caused.
5972 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5973 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5974 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5975 (allowing memory savings)
5977 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5978 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5979 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5981 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5982 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5985 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5986 without destroying one of the objects involved
5990 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5991 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5992 with a finite number of cases
5994 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5995 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5997 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5998 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5999 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
6000 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
6003 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
6007 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
6008 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
6009 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
6011 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
6013 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
6014 and an API to check them
6016 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
6017 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
6019 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
6020 with most functions, but this is not recommended
6024 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
6025 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
6026 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
6029 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
6030 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
6031 particular directory (akin to 'du').
6033 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
6038 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
6039 allow for regexp matching on streams
6041 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
6042 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
6043 g_variant_new_printf()
6047 - we can now generate TAP output
6049 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
6050 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
6052 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
6057 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

6182 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
6183 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
6184 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
6185 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
6187 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
6188 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

6256 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
6257 build the unmodified source
6259 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
6261 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
6262 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
6263 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
6270 698375 - D-Bus async properties

6279 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
6281 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
6282 and will trigger a warning.
6285 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

6319 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
6320 ==============================================
6322 * add support for installed tests:
6323 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
6325 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
6326 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
6328 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
6330 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
6332 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
6333 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
6334 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
6336 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

6367 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
6368 ==============================================
6370 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6371 and a parser API for them is now provided
6373 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6374 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6375 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
6377 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

6435 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6436 ==============================================
6438 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6439 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6440 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6441 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6442 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6443 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6444 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6445 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6446 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6448 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6449 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6450 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6451 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6452 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6454 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6455 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6456 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6457 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6458 anyone was using it.
6460 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6462 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6463 the destination file

6550 ==============================================
6552 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6553 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6554 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6555 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6556 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

6584 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
6585 ==============================================
6587 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.

6592 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
6593 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
6595 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)

6721 * Translation updates:
6736 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6737 ==============================================
6739 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6740 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6741 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6742 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6743 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6745 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6746 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6747 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6748 particular, are incompatible.
6750 * Bugs fixed in this release:

6784 * Translation updates:
6795 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6796 ==============================================
6798 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6799 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6800 causing regressions in applications.
6802 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6803 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6804 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6807 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6808 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6809 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6811 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6813 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6815 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6817 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6819 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6821 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6823 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6825 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6827 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6829 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

7440 * Updated translations:
7467 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7468 ===============================================
7470 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7471 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7472 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7475 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7476 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7477 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7478 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7479 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7480 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7481 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7483 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7484 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7485 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7486 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7487 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7489 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7491 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7493 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7494 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7495 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7496 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7499 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7500 such programs to break.
7502 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7503 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7504 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7506 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7507 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7509 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7511 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7782 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7783 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
7785 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

7827 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7828 ==============================================
7830 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7831 moved to GtkApplication.
7833 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7834 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7835 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7836 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7838 * lots of documentation improvements
7840 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7842 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7843 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7845 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7847 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7849 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7851 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7852 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7855 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7856 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
7857 664699 glib: documentation fixes
7858 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
7859 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
7860 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7861 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
7862 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
7863 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
7864 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
7865 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
7867 * Translations updated:
7871 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7872 ==============================================
7874 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7875 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7876 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7879 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7880 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7881 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7884 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7885 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7886 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7887 through an idle on the context.
7889 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7890 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7891 fixes here and there.
7893 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7894 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7895 API available outside GLib
7897 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7934 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
7936 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
7938 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7939 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7940 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7942 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7945 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7946 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
7947 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
7950 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

7961 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7962 =================================================
7964 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7965 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7967 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7968 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7969 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7970 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7971 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7972 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7973 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7974 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7975 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7976 required (and has been deprecated)
7977 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7978 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7979 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7980 without explicit initialisation.
7981 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7982 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7983 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7985 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7986 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7987 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7988 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7989 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7990 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7991 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7993 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7994 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7995 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7996 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7997 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7998 - other implementation details changed
8000 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
8001 deprecated/ directory.
8003 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
8004 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
8005 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
8007 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
8008 platform over a year ago).
8010 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
8011 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
8013 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
8014 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
8016 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
8017 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
8018 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
8019 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
8022 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
8023 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
8026 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
8028 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
8029 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
8031 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
8032 in a multi-threaded program
8034 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
8035 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
8038 - drop -uninstalled variants
8039 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
8041 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
8042 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
8043 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
8045 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
8047 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
8048 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
8051 - many code generation updates and improvements
8052 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
8055 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
8056 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
8058 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
8060 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
8063 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
8064 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
8066 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
8067 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
8069 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
8071 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
8075 * Partial list of bugs closed:
8076 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.
8077 320888 optimization for g_main_context_wakeup

8160 Brazilian Portuguese
8187 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
8188 ================================================
8190 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
8191 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
8192 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
8193 GObject depends on libffi now.

8202 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
8204 - fix some harmless warnings
8206 * GDateTime improvements:
8207 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
8208 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
8209 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
8210 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
8211 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
8212 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks

8244 * GDateTime is now respecting LC_TIME when formatting
8246 * GTimeZoneMonitor has been removed again
8248 * A new API for wallclock functionality has been added:

8507 ==============================================
8509 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8510 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8511 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8512 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8513 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8514 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8516 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8517 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8519 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8521 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

8574 * Updated translations:
8583 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8584 ==============================================
8587 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8588 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8589 an 'object manager' pattern:
8590 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8591 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8592 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8593 And server-side implementations:
8594 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8595 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8596 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8600 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8604 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8605 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8606 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8607 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8610 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8611 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8614 * Unix-specific APIs:
8615 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8616 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8617 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8618 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8619 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8620 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8644 * Updated translations
8651 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8652 ==============================================
8655 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8656 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8657 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8660 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8661 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8662 situations has been improved
8665 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8666 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8669 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8670 match strcmp() semantics
8671 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8672 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8673 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8675 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8676 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8679 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8681 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8683 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8684 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8685 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8966 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8967 ==============================================
8969 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8970 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8975 g_get_monotonic_time
8977 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8980 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8982 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8984 g_simple_async_result_take_error
8985 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
8986 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8988 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
8991 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
8992 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
8993 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
8995 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
8996 g_get_user_runtime_dir
8998 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
9001 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
9002 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

9007 * Translation updates:
9015 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
9016 ==============================================
9019 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
9020 - Support environment passing
9023 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
9024 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
9026 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
9027 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
9028 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
9032 158725 free linked list with data
9033 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
9034 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

9042 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
9043 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
9045 * Translation updates:
9051 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
9052 ==============================================
9054 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
9055 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
9057 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
9058 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
9060 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
9062 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
9064 g_settings_get_range
9065 g_settings_range_check
9066 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
9068 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
9069 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
9071 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
9072 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
9074 g_main_context_invoke
9075 g_main_context_invoke_full
9077 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
9078 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
9079 looking for default applications.
9081 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
9082 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
9083 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
9084 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
9086 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
9087 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
9088 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
9091 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

9346 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
9347 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9349 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
9350 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
9351 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
9352 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
9355 There have been many other improvements, however:
9358 - vastly improved test coverage
9359 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
9360 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
9361 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

9410 =====================================================
9412 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9413 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
9414 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
9415 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
9416 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9417 | required (and will be along soon). |
9418 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9421 - cleanup automake setup
9422 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
9423 - various docs fixups
9424 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

9437 - proper support for file descriptor passing
9438 - new flags parameter for sending messages
9439 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
9440 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
9441 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
9442 - constness fixes for introspection structures
9443 - clean ups to subtree registration API
9446 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

9449 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
9450 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
9451 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
9454 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

9479 =====================================================
9481 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9482 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9483 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9484 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9485 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9488 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9489 -Bsymbolic-functions
9490 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9491 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9492 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9493 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9494 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9497 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9498 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9499 nobody was doing that.
9500 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9502 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9503 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9505 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9506 have a serial number
9507 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9509 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9511 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9512 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9513 has finished running on GDBus services.
9514 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9515 this due to the obvious race)
9516 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9517 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9520 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9521 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9522 arguments and different behaviour
9523 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9524 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9525 strings instead of utf8 strings
9526 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9527 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9528 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9529 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9530 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9531 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9532 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9533 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9534 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9537 - improved documentation
9538 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9539 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9540 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9541 overridden using <override>.
9542 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)

9997 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9998 ===================================================
10000 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
10001 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
10002 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
10003 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
10004 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

10013 Traditional Chinese
10016 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
10017 ===================================================
10019 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
10020 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
10021 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
10022 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
10024 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10025 when g_type_init() is called.
10027 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
10028 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
10029 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
10031 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
10032 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
10033 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
10034 is a bug in application code.

10099 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
10100 - The parser will be in a future release.
10103 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)

10204 ===================================================
10206 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
10208 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
10210 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
10211 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
10212 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
10214 * Threading changes:
10215 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
10216 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
10218 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10219 when g_type_init() is called.
10220 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
10223 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
10226 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

10298 ===================================================
10301 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
10302 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
10303 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
10304 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
10305 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10306 while loading or saving it.
10307 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
10308 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
10309 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
10312 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
10313 interfaces to dynamic types.
10316 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
10317 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
10318 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10675 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
10676 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on

10679 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
10680 for actual socket I/O.
10681 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving

10760 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10761 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10762 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10763 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10764 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10765 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10766 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10767 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10768 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10769 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10770 object with the given URI.

11052 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
11053 ===================================================
11055 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
11056 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
11057 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
11058 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
11059 also uses less memory overall.
11061 * Make g_poll available as public api
11063 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
11064 that a GError is set or unset

11068 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
11069 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
11071 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
11072 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11149 ===================================================
11151 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
11152 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
11153 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
11154 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
11155 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
11156 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12485 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
12488 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12489 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12491 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12494 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12495 ==================================================
12497 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12498 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12499 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12500 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12502 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12503 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12505 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12506 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12509 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12510 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12511 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12512 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12513 support ELF visibility attributes.
12515 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12516 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12518 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12519 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12520 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12521 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12522 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12523 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12524 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12525 to help with the transition.

12680 * Memory management
12681 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
12682 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
12683 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12684 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12687 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12690 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12691 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12692 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12693 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12694 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12695 variants [Martyn Russell]
12698 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12699 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
12702 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12705 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12706 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
12707 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
12708 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12709 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12710 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12711 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

12726 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12727 =================================================
12729 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12730 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12731 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12733 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12734 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12737 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12738 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12739 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12740 "stutter stepping".
12741 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12743 * Memory management:
12744 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12745 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12746 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12747 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12748 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12749 never worked as intended.
12750 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12751 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12752 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12753 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12754 efficient and scalable implementation.
12755 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12757 * Pattern matching:
12758 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12759 unnecessary recursion.
12762 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12763 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12764 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12767 * g_thread_foreach:
12768 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12771 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12772 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12773 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12777 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12778 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12779 since they are in glib.h

12797 in GValues should also be changed to access
12798 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
12800 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
12801 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

12958 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12959 =================================================
12961 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12962 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12963 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12964 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12965 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12966 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12967 included through <glib.h>.
12969 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12970 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12971 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12972 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12973 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12975 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12976 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12977 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12978 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12979 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12981 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12982 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12983 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12984 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12986 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12987 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12988 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12990 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12991 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12992 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12993 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12994 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12995 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12997 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12998 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12999 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
13000 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
13002 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
13003 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
13004 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
13005 stderr if you need to see them.
13007 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
13008 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
13009 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
13010 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
13011 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
13012 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
13014 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
13015 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
13016 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
13017 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
13018 work with future versions of GLib.
13021 - GOption, a commandline option parser
13022 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
13023 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
13024 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
13025 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
13027 * Miscellaneous new functions
13028 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
13029 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
13030 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
13031 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
13032 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
13033 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
13034 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
13035 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
13036 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
13037 - g_debug() completes the family of logging functions

13043 - Get rid of many PLT entries for internally used exported symbols
13044 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
13047 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
13048 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
13049 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
13050 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
13051 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
13052 - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols
13053 - Add a .pc file for using gmodule in libraries
