844 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
845 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
846 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for

852 ==================================
854 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
855 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around

1210 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1211 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1212 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1214 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1215 have seen major improvements.
1217 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1218 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1219 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1222 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1224 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1226 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1228 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1229 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1230 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1231 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1232 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1233 you use the --strict option.
1235 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1236 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1237 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1239 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1241 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1242 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1243 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1328 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1329 before the release of 2.44.0.
1331 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1333 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1334 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1335 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1336 default in the next cycle.
1338 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1821 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
1823 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
1824 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
1826 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
1827 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
1829 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
1831 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
1832 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
1834 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
1835 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
1836 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
1838 * ... and many other bug fixes.

1928 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1929 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1930 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1931 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1932 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1933 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2188 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2189 ====================================================
2191 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2193 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2195 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2196 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2199 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2200 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2203 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2205 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2207 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2210 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2211 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2213 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2215 * Applications/Actions
2217 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2218 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2221 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2222 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2224 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2225 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2226 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2227 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2231 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2232 accesses that are performed in common situations
2234 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2235 are installed/removed
2237 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2238 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2240 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2241 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2246 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2248 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2249 that test programs don't pick them up
2251 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2253 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2254 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2255 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2256 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2258 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2259 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2261 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2262 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2263 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2267 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2269 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2271 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2273 Translations updated:
2281 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2324 ====================================================
2326 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2330 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2332 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2333 them can restart the application with an action (via
2338 - new API for launching subprocesses
2340 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2342 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2344 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2345 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2347 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2349 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2351 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2352 actions and listing apps and actions
2354 - bash tab completion is supported
2356 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2358 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2359 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2361 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2362 DBusActivatable=true
2364 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2365 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2370 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2372 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2373 class and inotify backend
2375 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2376 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2378 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2383 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2384 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2385 when there are invalid schemas installed
2387 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2391 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2392 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2394 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2397 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2398 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2399 semantics of the interface in each case
2401 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2402 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2404 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2406 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2407 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2408 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2409 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2413 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2416 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2418 * Portability improvements
2420 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2422 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2423 actually support it (like Hurd)
2425 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2427 * Other small API changes/additions
2429 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2430 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2431 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2433 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2435 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2436 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2438 * GMainContext/GSource
2440 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2442 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2443 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2444 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2445 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2446 broken and should probably be fixed.
2448 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2449 require use of a linked list
2453 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2454 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2455 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2457 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2461 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2462 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2463 gphoto, archive, at least).
2465 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2467 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2470 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2471 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2472 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2474 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2476 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2478 * Many documentation improvements

2536 What's new in Glib 2.38
2537 ========================
2539 * Application support
2541 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2542 desktop entry specification
2544 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2545 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2546 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2548 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2549 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2550 to launch other applications
2552 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2553 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2557 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2558 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2559 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2560 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2561 any problems that this may have caused.
2563 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2564 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2565 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2566 (allowing memory savings)
2568 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2569 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2570 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2572 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2573 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2576 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2577 without destroying one of the objects involved
2581 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2582 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2583 with a finite number of cases
2585 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2586 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2588 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2589 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2590 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2591 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2594 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2598 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2599 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2600 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2602 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2604 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2605 and an API to check them
2607 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2608 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2610 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2611 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2615 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2616 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2617 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2620 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2621 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2622 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2624 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2629 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2630 allow for regexp matching on streams
2632 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2633 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2634 g_variant_new_printf()
2638 - we can now generate TAP output
2640 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2641 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2643 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2648 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2771 ==============================================
2773 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2774 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2775 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2776 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2778 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2779 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2782 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2784 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2785 the key was locked down)

2864 700035 - new API for instance private data
2866 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
2867 ==============================================
2869 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2870 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2872 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2873 and will trigger a warning.
2876 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

2911 ==============================================
2913 * add support for installed tests:
2914 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
2916 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
2917 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2919 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2921 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2923 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
2924 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
2925 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
2927 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

2958 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2959 ==============================================
2961 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2962 and a parser API for them is now provided
2964 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2965 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2966 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
2968 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

3026 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3027 ==============================================
3029 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3031 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3032 the destination file
3034 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3036 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3058 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3059 ==============================================
3061 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3062 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3063 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3064 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3118 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3119 ==============================================
3121 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3122 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3123 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3124 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3125 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3129 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3130 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3132 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3133 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3134 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

3153 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3154 ==============================================
3156 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3158 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3159 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3161 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3162 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3164 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3177 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3178 ==============================================
3180 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3183 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3184 ready at a specified monotonic time
3186 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3188 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3191 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3192 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3290 * Translation updates:
3305 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3306 ==============================================
3308 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3309 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3310 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3311 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3312 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3314 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3315 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3316 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3317 particular, are incompatible.
3319 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3364 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3365 ==============================================
3367 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3368 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3369 causing regressions in applications.
3371 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3372 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3373 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3376 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3377 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3378 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3380 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3382 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3384 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3386 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3388 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3390 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3392 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3394 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3396 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3398 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3449 ==============================================
3451 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3452 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3454 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3455 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3457 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3459 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3461 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3463 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3465 * GLib version macros updated
3467 * Update to Unicode 6.2
3469 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts

4292 ==============================================
4295 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4296 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4297 to an overridden property
4298 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4299 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4301 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4302 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4346 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4347 ==============================================
4349 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4350 moved to GtkApplication.
4352 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4353 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4354 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4355 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4357 * lots of documentation improvements
4359 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4361 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4362 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4364 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4366 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4368 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4370 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4371 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4374 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4375 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4379 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4380 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4386 * Translations updated:
4390 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4391 ==============================================
4393 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4394 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4395 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4398 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4399 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4400 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4403 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4404 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4405 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4406 through an idle on the context.
4408 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4409 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4410 fixes here and there.
4412 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4413 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4414 API available outside GLib
4416 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4455 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4457 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4458 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4459 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4461 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4464 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4465 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4466 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4469 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4470 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

4477 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4478 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4480 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4481 =================================================
4483 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4484 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4486 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4487 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4488 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4489 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4490 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4491 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4492 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4493 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4494 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4495 required (and has been deprecated)
4496 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4497 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4498 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4499 without explicit initialisation.
4500 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4501 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4502 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4504 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4505 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4506 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4507 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4508 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4509 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4510 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4512 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4513 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4514 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4515 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4516 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4517 - other implementation details changed
4519 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4520 deprecated/ directory.
4522 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4523 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4524 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4526 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4527 platform over a year ago).
4529 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4530 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4532 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4533 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4535 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4536 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4537 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4538 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4541 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4542 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4545 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4547 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4548 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4550 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4551 in a multi-threaded program
4553 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4554 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4557 - drop -uninstalled variants
4558 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4560 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4561 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4562 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4564 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4566 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4567 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4570 - many code generation updates and improvements
4571 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4574 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4575 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4577 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4579 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4582 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4583 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4585 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4586 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4588 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4590 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4594 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4595 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5021 ==============================================
5023 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5024 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5025 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5026 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5027 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5028 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5030 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5031 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

5088 * Updated translations:
5097 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5098 ==============================================
5101 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5102 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5103 an 'object manager' pattern:
5104 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5105 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5106 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5107 And server-side implementations:
5108 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5109 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5110 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5114 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5118 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5119 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5120 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5121 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5124 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5125 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5128 * Unix-specific APIs:
5129 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5130 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5131 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5132 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5133 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5134 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5165 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5166 ==============================================
5169 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5170 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5171 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5174 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5175 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5176 situations has been improved
5179 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5180 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5183 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5184 match strcmp() semantics
5185 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5186 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5187 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5189 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5190 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5193 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5195 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5197 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5198 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5199 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5530 - Support environment passing
5533 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5534 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5536 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5537 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5538 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5542 158725 free linked list with data

5555 * Translation updates:
5561 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5562 ==============================================
5564 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5565 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5567 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5568 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5570 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5572 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5574 g_settings_get_range
5575 g_settings_range_check
5576 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5578 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5579 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5581 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5582 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5584 g_main_context_invoke
5585 g_main_context_invoke_full
5587 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5588 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5589 looking for default applications.
5591 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5592 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5593 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5594 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5596 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5597 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5598 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5856 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5857 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5859 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5860 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5861 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5862 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5865 There have been many other improvements, however:
5868 - vastly improved test coverage

5920 =====================================================
5922 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5923 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5924 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5925 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5926 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5927 | required (and will be along soon). |
5928 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5931 - cleanup automake setup
5932 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5933 - various docs fixups
5934 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5991 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5992 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5993 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5994 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5995 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5998 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5999 -Bsymbolic-functions
6000 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6001 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh

6008 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6009 nobody was doing that.
6010 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6012 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6013 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6015 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6016 have a serial number
6017 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6019 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6021 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6022 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6023 has finished running on GDBus services.
6024 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6025 this due to the obvious race)
6026 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6027 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6030 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6031 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6032 arguments and different behaviour
6033 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6034 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6035 strings instead of utf8 strings
6036 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6037 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6038 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6039 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6040 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6041 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6042 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6043 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6044 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6047 - improved documentation
6048 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6049 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6050 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6051 overridden using <override>.
6052 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6054 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6055 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6056 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6057 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6058 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6059 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6060 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6061 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6062 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6063 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6064 being set due to a premature free
6065 - command line tool: bash completion support
6066 - chain up in _finalize
6067 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6069 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6070 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6071 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6073 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6074 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6075 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6076 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6077 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6081 - always intern GBinding prop names
6082 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6083 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6084 - GNode docs improvements
6085 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6086 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6087 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6091 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6092 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6093 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6094 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6095 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6096 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6097 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6098 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6100 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6101 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

6103 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6104 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6105 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6106 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

6794 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6795 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6796 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6797 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6798 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6799 while loading or saving it.
6800 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6801 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6802 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6805 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6806 interfaces to dynamic types.
6809 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

7530 ===================================================
7532 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7533 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7534 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7535 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7536 also uses less memory overall.
7538 * Make g_poll available as public api
7540 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7541 that a GError is set or unset
7543 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7545 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7546 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7548 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7549 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
