336 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
337 ==================================
339 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
340 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
341 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
342 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
344 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
345 directory for each unit test. (#538)
347 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
349 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
351 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
353 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
354 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
355 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
356 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
358 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
359 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
361 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
362 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
363 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
365 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
367 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
368 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
371 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
372 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
374 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
375 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
376 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
378 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
379 portal backends. (!317)
381 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
384 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
386 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
389 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
391 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
394 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
395 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
396 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
398 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
399 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
401 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
402 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
403 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
404 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
406 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
408 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

617 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
618 ==================================
620 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
621 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
622 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
623 with Meson or autotools. See:
624 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
626 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
628 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
629 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
631 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
633 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
635 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
636 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
637 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
638 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
641 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
642 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
643 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
644 !265 Network monitor again
645 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
646 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
647 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
648 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
649 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
650 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
652 * Translation updates:
662 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
663 ==================================
665 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
666 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
667 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
668 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
670 * Many minor documentation fixes.
672 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
674 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
676 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
678 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
679 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
681 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
683 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
684 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
685 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
688 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
690 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
693 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
694 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
695 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

2037 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
2038 ==================================
2040 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
2041 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
2042 is unavailable or undesired.
2044 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
2045 glib-networking will also be required.
2047 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
2048 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag
2050 * several GApplication fixes, including fixes for commandline arguments
2051 in interpreted languages on Windows

2099 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2100 ==================================
2102 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2103 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2104 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2105 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2107 This release corrects only this problem.
2109 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2110 ==================================
2112 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2113 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2114 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2116 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2462 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2463 ==================================
2465 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2466 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2467 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2468 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2469 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2470 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2472 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2473 have seen major improvements.
2475 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2476 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2477 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2480 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2482 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2484 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2486 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2487 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2488 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2489 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2490 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2491 you use the --strict option.
2493 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2494 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2495 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2497 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2499 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2500 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2501 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2546 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
2547 ===================================
2549 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2550 before the release of 2.44.0.
2552 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2554 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2555 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2556 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2557 default in the next cycle.
2559 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
2561 * new GTask:completed property
2563 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
2564 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
2567 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
2568 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
2569 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

2578 Translations updated:
2603 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
2604 ===================================
2606 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
2607 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
2608 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
2610 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
2611 effective busy state.
2613 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

2636 GInputStream and GOutputStream
2638 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
2639 of a boolean property on another object
2641 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
2644 739724 Test functions should have async scope
2645 741024 glist: Mention that g_list_length() is bad for checking list emptiness

2663 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
2664 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
2666 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
2667 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

3146 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
3147 =====================================================
3149 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
3150 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
3151 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3152 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3153 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3154 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
3156 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

3402 * Translations updates:
3409 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3410 ====================================================
3412 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3414 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3416 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3417 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3420 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3421 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3424 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3426 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3428 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3431 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3432 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3434 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3436 * Applications/Actions
3438 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3439 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3442 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3443 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3445 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3446 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3447 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3448 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3452 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3453 accesses that are performed in common situations
3455 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3456 are installed/removed
3458 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3459 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3461 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3462 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3467 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3469 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3470 that test programs don't pick them up
3472 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3474 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3475 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3476 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3477 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3479 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3480 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3482 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3483 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3484 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3488 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3490 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3492 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3494 Translations updated:
3502 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3544 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3545 ====================================================
3547 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3551 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3553 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3554 them can restart the application with an action (via
3559 - new API for launching subprocesses
3561 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3563 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3565 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3566 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3568 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3570 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3572 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3573 actions and listing apps and actions
3575 - bash tab completion is supported
3577 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3579 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3580 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3582 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3583 DBusActivatable=true
3585 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3586 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3591 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3593 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3594 class and inotify backend
3596 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3597 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3599 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3604 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3605 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3606 when there are invalid schemas installed
3608 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3612 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3613 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3615 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3618 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3619 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3620 semantics of the interface in each case
3622 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3623 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3625 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3627 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3628 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3629 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3630 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3634 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3637 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3639 * Portability improvements
3641 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3643 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3644 actually support it (like Hurd)
3646 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3648 * Other small API changes/additions
3650 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3651 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3652 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3654 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3656 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3657 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3659 * GMainContext/GSource
3661 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3663 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3664 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3665 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3666 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3667 broken and should probably be fixed.
3669 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3670 require use of a linked list
3674 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3675 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3676 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3678 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3682 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3683 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3684 gphoto, archive, at least).
3686 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3688 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3691 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3692 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3693 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3695 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3697 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3699 * Many documentation improvements

3757 What's new in Glib 2.38
3758 ========================
3760 * Application support
3762 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3763 desktop entry specification
3765 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3766 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3767 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3769 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3770 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3771 to launch other applications
3773 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3774 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3778 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3779 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3780 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3781 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3782 any problems that this may have caused.
3784 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3785 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3786 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3787 (allowing memory savings)
3789 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3790 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3791 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3793 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3794 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3797 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3798 without destroying one of the objects involved
3802 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3803 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3804 with a finite number of cases
3806 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3807 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3809 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3810 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3811 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3812 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3815 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3819 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3820 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3821 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3823 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3825 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3826 and an API to check them
3828 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3829 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3831 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3832 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3836 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3837 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3838 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3841 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3842 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3843 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3845 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3850 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3851 allow for regexp matching on streams
3853 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3854 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3855 g_variant_new_printf()
3859 - we can now generate TAP output
3861 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3862 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3864 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3869 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3996 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3997 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

4340 ==============================================
4342 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4343 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4344 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4345 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4346 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

4382 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4383 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4385 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)

4511 * Translation updates:
4526 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4527 ==============================================
4529 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4530 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4531 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4532 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4533 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4535 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4536 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4537 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4538 particular, are incompatible.
4540 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4574 * Translation updates:
4585 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4586 ==============================================
4588 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4589 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4590 causing regressions in applications.
4592 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4593 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4594 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4597 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4598 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4599 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4601 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4603 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4605 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4607 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4609 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4611 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4613 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4615 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4617 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4619 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4672 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4673 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4675 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4676 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4678 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4680 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

5567 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5568 ==============================================
5570 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5571 moved to GtkApplication.
5573 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5574 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5575 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5576 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5578 * lots of documentation improvements
5580 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5582 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5583 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5585 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5587 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5589 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5591 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5592 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5595 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5596 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
5597 664699 glib: documentation fixes
5598 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
5599 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
5600 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5601 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
5602 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
5603 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
5604 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
5605 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
5607 * Translations updated:
5611 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5612 ==============================================
5614 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5615 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5616 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5619 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5620 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5621 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5624 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5625 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5626 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5627 through an idle on the context.
5629 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5630 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5631 fixes here and there.
5633 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5634 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5635 API available outside GLib
5637 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5672 ==============================================
5674 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
5676 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
5678 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
5679 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5680 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5682 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5685 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5686 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
5687 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
5690 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

5701 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5702 =================================================
5704 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5705 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5707 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5708 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5709 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5710 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5711 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5712 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5713 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5714 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5715 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5716 required (and has been deprecated)
5717 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5718 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5719 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5720 without explicit initialisation.
5721 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5722 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5723 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5725 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5726 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5727 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5728 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5729 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5730 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5731 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5733 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5734 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5735 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5736 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5737 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5738 - other implementation details changed
5740 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5741 deprecated/ directory.
5743 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5744 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5745 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5747 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5748 platform over a year ago).
5750 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5751 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5753 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5754 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5756 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5757 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5758 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5759 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5762 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5763 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5766 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5768 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5769 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5771 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5772 in a multi-threaded program
5774 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5775 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5778 - drop -uninstalled variants
5779 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5781 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5782 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5783 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5785 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5787 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5788 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5791 - many code generation updates and improvements
5792 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5795 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5796 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5798 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5800 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5803 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5804 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5806 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5807 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5809 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5811 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5815 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5816 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6242 ==============================================
6244 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6245 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6246 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6247 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6248 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6249 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6251 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6252 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6254 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6256 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

6309 * Updated translations:
6318 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6319 ==============================================
6322 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6323 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6324 an 'object manager' pattern:
6325 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6326 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6327 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6328 And server-side implementations:
6329 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6330 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6331 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6335 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6339 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6340 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6341 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6342 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6345 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6346 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6349 * Unix-specific APIs:
6350 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6351 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6352 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6353 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6354 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6355 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
6358 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

6377 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6379 * Updated translations
6386 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6387 ==============================================
6390 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6391 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6392 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6395 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6396 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6397 situations has been improved
6400 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6401 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6404 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6405 match strcmp() semantics
6406 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6407 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6408 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6410 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6411 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6414 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6416 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6418 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6419 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6420 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6706 g_get_monotonic_time
6708 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6711 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6713 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
6715 g_simple_async_result_take_error
6716 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
6717 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
6719 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
6722 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
6723 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
6724 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
6726 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
6727 g_get_user_runtime_dir
6729 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
6732 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
6733 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89
6734 633381 gsettings Makefile rules should handle empty list...
6735 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error
6736 633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
6738 * Translation updates:
6746 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
6747 ==============================================
6750 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6751 - Support environment passing
6754 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6755 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6757 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6758 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6759 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6763 158725 free linked list with data
6764 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
6765 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
6766 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
6767 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
6768 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
6769 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
6770 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option
6771 633115 GSettings m4 doesn't fail the build for broken schemas

6773 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
6774 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
6776 * Translation updates:
6782 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6783 ==============================================
6785 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6786 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6788 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6789 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6791 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6793 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6795 g_settings_get_range
6796 g_settings_range_check
6797 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6799 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6800 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6802 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6803 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6805 g_main_context_invoke
6806 g_main_context_invoke_full
6808 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6809 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6810 looking for default applications.
6812 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6813 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6814 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6815 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6817 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6818 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6819 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
6822 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

7074 =====================================================
7076 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7077 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7078 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7080 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7081 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7082 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7083 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7086 There have been many other improvements, however:
7089 - vastly improved test coverage
7090 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7091 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7092 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

7141 =====================================================
7143 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7144 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7145 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7146 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7147 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7148 | required (and will be along soon). |
7149 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7152 - cleanup automake setup
7153 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7154 - various docs fixups
7155 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7172 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7173 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7174 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7177 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7209 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7210 =====================================================
7212 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7213 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7214 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7215 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7216 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7219 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7220 -Bsymbolic-functions
7221 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7222 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7223 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7224 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7225 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7228 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7229 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7230 nobody was doing that.
7231 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7233 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7234 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7236 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7237 have a serial number
7238 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7240 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7242 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7243 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7244 has finished running on GDBus services.
7245 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7246 this due to the obvious race)
7247 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7248 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7251 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7252 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7253 arguments and different behaviour
7254 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7255 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7256 strings instead of utf8 strings
7257 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7258 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7259 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7260 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7261 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7262 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7263 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7264 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7265 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7268 - improved documentation
7269 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7270 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7271 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7272 overridden using <override>.
7273 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7275 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7276 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7277 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7278 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7279 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7280 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7281 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7282 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7283 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7284 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7285 being set due to a premature free
7286 - command line tool: bash completion support
7287 - chain up in _finalize
7288 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7290 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7291 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7292 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7294 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7295 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7296 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7297 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7298 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7302 - always intern GBinding prop names
7303 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7304 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7305 - GNode docs improvements
7306 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7307 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7308 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7312 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7313 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7314 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7315 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7316 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7317 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7318 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7319 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7321 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7322 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7323 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7324 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7325 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7326 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section

8012 ===================================================
8015 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8016 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8017 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8018 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8019 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
8020 while loading or saving it.
8021 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
8022 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8023 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8026 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8027 interfaces to dynamic types.
8030 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
8031 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
8032 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

8750 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
8751 ===================================================
8753 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
8754 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
8755 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
8756 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
8757 also uses less memory overall.
8759 * Make g_poll available as public api
8761 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
8762 that a GError is set or unset
8764 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
8766 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8767 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8769 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
8770 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10351 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10352 variants [Martyn Russell]

10384 =================================================
10386 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10387 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10388 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10390 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10391 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10394 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10395 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10396 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10397 "stutter stepping".
10398 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10400 * Memory management:
10401 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10402 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10403 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10404 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10405 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10406 never worked as intended.
10407 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10408 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10409 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10410 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10411 efficient and scalable implementation.
10412 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10414 * Pattern matching:
10415 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10416 unnecessary recursion.
10419 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10420 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10421 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10424 * g_thread_foreach:
10425 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10428 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10429 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10430 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10434 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10435 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10436 since they are in glib.h
