416 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
417 ==================================
419 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
420 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
421 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
422 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
424 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
425 directory for each unit test. (#538)
427 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
429 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
431 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
433 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
434 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
435 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
436 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
438 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
439 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
441 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
442 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
443 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
445 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
447 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
448 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
451 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
452 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
454 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
455 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
456 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
458 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
459 portal backends. (!317)
461 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
464 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
466 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
469 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
471 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
474 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
475 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
476 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
478 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
479 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
481 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
482 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
483 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
484 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
486 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
488 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

697 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
698 ==================================
700 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
701 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
702 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
703 with Meson or autotools. See:
704 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
706 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
708 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
709 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
711 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
713 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
715 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
716 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
717 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
718 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
721 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
722 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
723 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
724 !265 Network monitor again
725 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
726 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
727 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
728 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
729 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
730 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
732 * Translation updates:
742 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
743 ==================================
745 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
746 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
747 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
748 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
750 * Many minor documentation fixes.
752 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
754 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
756 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
758 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
759 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
761 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
763 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
764 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
765 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
768 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
770 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
773 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
774 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
775 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

1949 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1950 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1952 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1953 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1954 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1956 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1957 environment variable.
1959 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1960 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

2122 is unavailable or undesired.
2124 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

2179 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2180 ==================================
2182 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2183 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2184 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2185 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2187 This release corrects only this problem.
2189 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2190 ==================================
2192 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2193 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2194 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2196 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2542 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2543 ==================================
2545 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2546 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2547 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2548 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2549 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2550 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2552 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2553 have seen major improvements.
2555 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2556 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2557 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2560 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2562 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2564 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2566 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2567 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2568 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2569 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2570 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2571 you use the --strict option.
2573 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2574 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2575 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2577 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2579 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2580 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2581 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2626 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
2627 ===================================
2629 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2630 before the release of 2.44.0.
2632 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2634 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2635 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2636 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2637 default in the next cycle.
2639 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
2641 * new GTask:completed property
2643 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
2644 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

2684 ===================================
2686 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
2687 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
2688 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
2690 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
2691 effective busy state.

2744 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
2746 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
2747 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

3115 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
3116 ===================================
3118 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
3119 and NULL pointer dereferences.
3121 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
3122 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
3124 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
3125 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
3127 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
3128 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
3130 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
3132 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
3133 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
3135 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
3136 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
3137 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
3139 * ... and many other bug fixes.

3231 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3232 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3233 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3234 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

3489 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3490 ====================================================
3492 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3494 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3496 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3497 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3500 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3501 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3504 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3506 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3508 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3511 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3512 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3514 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3516 * Applications/Actions
3518 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3519 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3522 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3523 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3525 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3526 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3527 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3528 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3532 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3533 accesses that are performed in common situations
3535 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3536 are installed/removed
3538 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3539 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3541 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3542 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3547 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3549 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3550 that test programs don't pick them up
3552 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3554 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3555 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3556 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3557 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3559 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3560 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3562 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3563 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3564 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3568 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3570 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3572 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

3624 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3625 ====================================================
3627 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3631 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3633 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3634 them can restart the application with an action (via
3639 - new API for launching subprocesses
3641 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3643 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3645 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3646 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3648 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3650 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3652 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3653 actions and listing apps and actions
3655 - bash tab completion is supported
3657 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3659 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3660 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3662 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3663 DBusActivatable=true
3665 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3666 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3671 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3673 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3674 class and inotify backend
3676 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3677 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3679 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3684 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3685 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3686 when there are invalid schemas installed
3688 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3692 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3693 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3695 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3698 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3699 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3700 semantics of the interface in each case
3702 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3703 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3705 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3707 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3708 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3709 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3710 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3714 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3717 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3719 * Portability improvements
3721 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3723 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3724 actually support it (like Hurd)
3726 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3728 * Other small API changes/additions
3730 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3731 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3732 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3734 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3736 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3737 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3739 * GMainContext/GSource
3741 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3743 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3744 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3745 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3746 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3747 broken and should probably be fixed.
3749 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3750 require use of a linked list
3754 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3755 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3756 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3758 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3762 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3763 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3764 gphoto, archive, at least).
3766 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3768 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3771 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3772 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3773 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3775 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3777 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3779 * Many documentation improvements
3782 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3783 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3784 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3831 Brazilian Portuguese
3837 What's new in Glib 2.38
3838 ========================
3840 * Application support
3842 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3843 desktop entry specification
3845 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3846 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3847 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3849 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3850 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3851 to launch other applications
3853 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3854 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3858 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3859 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3860 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3861 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3862 any problems that this may have caused.
3864 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3865 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3866 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3867 (allowing memory savings)
3869 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3870 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3871 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3873 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3874 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3877 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3878 without destroying one of the objects involved
3882 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3883 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3884 with a finite number of cases
3886 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3887 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3889 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3890 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3891 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3892 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3895 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3899 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3900 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3901 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3903 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3905 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3906 and an API to check them
3908 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3909 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3911 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3912 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3916 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3917 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3918 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3921 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3922 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3923 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3925 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3930 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3931 allow for regexp matching on streams
3933 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3934 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3935 g_variant_new_printf()
3939 - we can now generate TAP output
3941 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3942 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3944 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3949 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4071 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
4072 ==============================================
4074 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
4075 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4076 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4077 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
4079 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
4080 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
4083 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
4085 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
4086 the key was locked down)

4260 ==============================================
4262 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4263 and a parser API for them is now provided
4265 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4266 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4267 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4327 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
4328 ==============================================
4330 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
4332 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
4333 the destination file
4335 - fix some 'available since' annotations
4337 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

4359 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
4360 ==============================================
4362 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4363 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4364 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4365 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4419 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4420 ==============================================
4422 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4423 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4424 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4425 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4426 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4430 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4431 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4433 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4434 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4435 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

4455 ==============================================
4457 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4459 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4460 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4462 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4463 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4465 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4478 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4479 ==============================================
4481 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
4484 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
4485 ready at a specified monotonic time
4487 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4489 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

4591 * Translation updates:
4606 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4607 ==============================================
4609 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4610 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4611 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4612 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4613 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4615 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4616 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4617 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4618 particular, are incompatible.
4620 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4665 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4666 ==============================================
4668 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4669 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4670 causing regressions in applications.
4672 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4673 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4674 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4677 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4678 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4679 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4681 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4683 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4685 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4687 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4689 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4691 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4693 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4695 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4697 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4699 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4750 ==============================================
4752 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4753 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4755 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4756 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4758 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4760 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
4762 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
4764 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
4766 * GLib version macros updated
4768 * Update to Unicode 6.2
4770 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts

5593 ==============================================
5596 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5597 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5598 to an overridden property
5599 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5600 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5602 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5603 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
5605 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

5647 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5648 ==============================================
5650 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5651 moved to GtkApplication.
5653 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5654 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5655 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5656 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5658 * lots of documentation improvements
5660 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5662 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5663 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5665 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5667 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5669 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5671 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5672 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5675 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5676 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5680 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5681 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
5682 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
5683 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
5684 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
5685 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
5687 * Translations updated:
5691 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5692 ==============================================
5694 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5695 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5696 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5699 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5700 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5701 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5704 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5705 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5706 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5707 through an idle on the context.
5709 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5710 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5711 fixes here and there.
5713 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5714 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5715 API available outside GLib
5717 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5758 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
5759 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5760 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5762 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5765 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

5781 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5782 =================================================
5784 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5785 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5787 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5788 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5789 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5790 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5791 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5792 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5793 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5794 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5795 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5796 required (and has been deprecated)
5797 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5798 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5799 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5800 without explicit initialisation.
5801 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5802 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5803 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5805 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5806 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5807 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5808 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5809 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5810 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5811 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5813 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5814 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5815 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5816 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5817 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5818 - other implementation details changed
5820 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5821 deprecated/ directory.
5823 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5824 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5825 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5827 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5828 platform over a year ago).
5830 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5831 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5833 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5834 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5836 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5837 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5838 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5839 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5842 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5843 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5846 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5848 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5849 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5851 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5852 in a multi-threaded program
5854 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5855 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5858 - drop -uninstalled variants
5859 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5861 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5862 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5863 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5865 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5867 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5868 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5871 - many code generation updates and improvements
5872 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5875 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5876 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5878 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5880 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5883 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5884 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5886 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5887 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5889 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5891 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5895 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5896 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6322 ==============================================
6324 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6325 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6326 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6327 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6328 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6329 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6331 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6332 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6334 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6336 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6338 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

6389 * Updated translations:
6398 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6399 ==============================================
6402 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6403 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6404 an 'object manager' pattern:
6405 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6406 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6407 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6408 And server-side implementations:
6409 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6410 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6411 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6415 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6419 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6420 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6421 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6422 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6425 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6426 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6429 * Unix-specific APIs:
6430 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6431 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6432 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6433 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6434 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6435 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6466 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6467 ==============================================
6470 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6471 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6472 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6475 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6476 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6477 situations has been improved
6480 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6481 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6484 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6485 match strcmp() semantics
6486 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6487 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6488 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6490 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6491 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6494 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6496 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6498 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6499 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6500 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6831 - Support environment passing
6834 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6835 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6837 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6838 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6839 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6843 158725 free linked list with data

6856 * Translation updates:
6862 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6863 ==============================================
6865 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6866 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6868 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6869 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6871 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6873 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6875 g_settings_get_range
6876 g_settings_range_check
6877 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6879 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6880 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6882 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6883 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6885 g_main_context_invoke
6886 g_main_context_invoke_full
6888 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6889 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6890 looking for default applications.
6892 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6893 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6894 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6895 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6897 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6898 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6899 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

7158 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7160 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7161 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7162 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7163 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7166 There have been many other improvements, however:

7304 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7305 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7308 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7309 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7310 nobody was doing that.
7311 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7313 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7314 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7316 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7317 have a serial number
7318 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7320 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7322 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7323 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7324 has finished running on GDBus services.
7325 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7326 this due to the obvious race)
7327 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7328 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7331 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7332 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7333 arguments and different behaviour
7334 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7335 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7336 strings instead of utf8 strings
7337 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7338 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7339 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7340 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7341 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7342 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7343 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7344 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7345 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7348 - improved documentation
7349 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7350 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7351 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7352 overridden using <override>.
7353 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7355 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7356 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7357 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7358 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7359 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7360 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7361 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7362 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7363 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7364 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7365 being set due to a premature free
7366 - command line tool: bash completion support
7367 - chain up in _finalize
7368 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7370 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7371 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7372 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7374 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7375 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7376 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7377 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7378 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7382 - always intern GBinding prop names
7383 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7384 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7385 - GNode docs improvements
7386 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7387 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7388 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7392 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7393 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7394 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7395 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7396 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7397 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7398 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7399 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7401 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7402 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7403 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7404 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7405 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7406 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7407 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

8009 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
8010 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
8012 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
8013 when g_type_init() is called.
8014 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.

8092 ===================================================
8095 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8096 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8097 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8098 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8099 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
8100 while loading or saving it.
8101 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
8102 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8103 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8106 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8107 interfaces to dynamic types.
8110 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
8111 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
8112 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

8831 ===================================================
8833 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
8834 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
8835 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
8836 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
8837 also uses less memory overall.
8839 * Make g_poll available as public api
8841 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
8842 that a GError is set or unset
8844 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
8846 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8847 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8849 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
8850 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10464 =================================================
10466 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10467 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10468 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10470 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10471 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10474 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10475 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10476 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10477 "stutter stepping".
10478 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10480 * Memory management:
10481 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10482 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10483 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10484 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10485 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10486 never worked as intended.
10487 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10488 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10489 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10490 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10491 efficient and scalable implementation.
10492 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10494 * Pattern matching:
10495 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10496 unnecessary recursion.
10499 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10500 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10501 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10504 * g_thread_foreach:
10505 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10508 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10509 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10510 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10514 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10515 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10516 since they are in glib.h
