1073 environment variable.
1075 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1076 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1238 is unavailable or undesired.
1240 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

1298 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1299 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1300 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for

1303 This release corrects only this problem.

1306 ==================================
1308 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1309 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1310 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1312 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1658 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1659 ==================================
1661 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1662 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1663 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1664 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1665 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1666 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1668 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1669 have seen major improvements.
1671 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1672 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1673 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1676 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1678 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1680 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1682 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1683 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1684 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1685 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1686 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1687 you use the --strict option.
1689 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1690 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1691 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1693 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1695 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1696 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1697 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1742 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1743 ===================================
1745 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1746 before the release of 2.44.0.
1748 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1750 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1751 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1752 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1753 default in the next cycle.
1755 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1757 * new GTask:completed property
1759 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1760 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1800 ===================================
1802 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1803 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1804 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1806 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1807 effective busy state.

2237 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
2238 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
2240 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
2241 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
2243 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
2244 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
2246 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
2248 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
2249 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
2251 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
2252 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
2253 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
2255 * ... and many other bug fixes.

2345 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
2346 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
2347 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
2348 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2349 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2350 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2605 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2606 ====================================================
2608 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2610 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2612 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2613 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2616 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2617 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2620 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2622 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2624 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2627 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2628 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2630 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2632 * Applications/Actions
2634 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2635 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2638 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2639 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2641 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2642 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2643 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2644 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2648 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2649 accesses that are performed in common situations
2651 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2652 are installed/removed
2654 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2655 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2657 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2658 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2663 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2665 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2666 that test programs don't pick them up
2668 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2670 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2671 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2672 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2673 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2675 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2676 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2678 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2679 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2680 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2684 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2686 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2688 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2743 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2747 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2749 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2750 them can restart the application with an action (via
2755 - new API for launching subprocesses
2757 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2759 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2761 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2762 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2764 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2766 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2768 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2769 actions and listing apps and actions
2771 - bash tab completion is supported
2773 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2775 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2776 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2778 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2779 DBusActivatable=true
2781 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2782 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2787 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2789 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2790 class and inotify backend
2792 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2793 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2795 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2800 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2801 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2802 when there are invalid schemas installed
2804 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2808 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2809 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2811 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2814 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2815 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2816 semantics of the interface in each case
2818 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2819 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2821 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2823 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2824 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2825 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2826 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2830 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2833 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2835 * Portability improvements
2837 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2839 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2840 actually support it (like Hurd)
2842 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2844 * Other small API changes/additions
2846 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2847 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2848 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2850 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2852 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2853 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2855 * GMainContext/GSource
2857 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2859 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2860 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2861 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2862 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2863 broken and should probably be fixed.
2865 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2866 require use of a linked list
2870 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2871 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2872 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2874 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2878 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2879 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2880 gphoto, archive, at least).
2882 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2884 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2887 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2888 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2889 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2891 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2893 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2895 * Many documentation improvements

2953 What's new in Glib 2.38
2954 ========================
2956 * Application support
2958 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2959 desktop entry specification
2961 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2962 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2963 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2965 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2966 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2967 to launch other applications
2969 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2970 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2974 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2975 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2976 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2977 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2978 any problems that this may have caused.
2980 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2981 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2982 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2983 (allowing memory savings)
2985 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2986 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2987 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2989 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2990 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2993 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2994 without destroying one of the objects involved
2998 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2999 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3000 with a finite number of cases
3002 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3003 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3005 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3006 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3007 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3008 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3011 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3015 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3016 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3017 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3019 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3021 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3022 and an API to check them
3024 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3025 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3027 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3028 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3032 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3033 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3034 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3037 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3038 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3039 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3041 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3046 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3047 allow for regexp matching on streams
3049 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3050 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3051 g_variant_new_printf()
3055 - we can now generate TAP output
3057 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3058 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3060 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3065 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3188 ==============================================
3190 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3191 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3192 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3193 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3195 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3196 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3199 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3201 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

3284 ==============================================
3286 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3287 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3289 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3290 and will trigger a warning.
3293 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

3328 ==============================================
3330 * add support for installed tests:
3331 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests

3334 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3336 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3338 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3340 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

3376 ==============================================
3378 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3379 and a parser API for them is now provided
3381 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3382 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3383 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
3385 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

3443 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3444 ==============================================
3446 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3448 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3449 the destination file
3451 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3453 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3475 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3476 ==============================================
3478 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3479 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3480 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3481 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3535 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3536 ==============================================
3538 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3539 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3540 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3541 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3542 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3546 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3547 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3549 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3550 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3551 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

3571 ==============================================
3573 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3575 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3576 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3578 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3579 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3581 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3594 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3595 ==============================================
3597 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3600 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3601 ready at a specified monotonic time
3603 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3605 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3608 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3609 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3707 * Translation updates:
3722 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3723 ==============================================
3725 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3726 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3727 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3728 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3729 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3731 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3732 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3733 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3734 particular, are incompatible.
3736 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3781 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3782 ==============================================
3784 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3785 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3786 causing regressions in applications.
3788 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3789 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3790 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3793 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3794 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3795 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3797 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3799 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3801 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3803 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3805 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3807 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3809 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3811 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3813 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3815 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3866 ==============================================
3868 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3869 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3871 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3872 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3874 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3876 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3878 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3880 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3882 * GLib version macros updated
3884 * Update to Unicode 6.2
3886 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
3888 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)

4709 ==============================================
4712 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4713 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4714 to an overridden property
4715 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4716 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4718 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4719 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4721 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4763 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4764 ==============================================
4766 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4767 moved to GtkApplication.
4769 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4770 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4771 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4772 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4774 * lots of documentation improvements
4776 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4778 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4779 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4781 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4783 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4785 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4787 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4788 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4791 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4792 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4796 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4797 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4803 * Translations updated:
4807 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4808 ==============================================
4810 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4811 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4812 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4815 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4816 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4817 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4820 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4821 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4822 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4823 through an idle on the context.
4825 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4826 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4827 fixes here and there.
4829 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4830 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4831 API available outside GLib
4833 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4874 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4875 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4876 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4878 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4881 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

4897 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4898 =================================================
4900 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4901 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4903 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4904 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4905 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4906 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4907 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4908 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4909 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4910 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4911 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4912 required (and has been deprecated)
4913 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4914 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4915 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4916 without explicit initialisation.
4917 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4918 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4919 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4921 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4922 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4923 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4924 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4925 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4926 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4927 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4929 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4930 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4931 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4932 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4933 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4934 - other implementation details changed
4936 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4937 deprecated/ directory.
4939 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4940 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4941 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4943 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4944 platform over a year ago).
4946 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4947 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4949 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4950 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4952 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4953 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4954 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4955 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4958 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4959 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4962 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4964 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4965 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4967 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4968 in a multi-threaded program
4970 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4971 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4974 - drop -uninstalled variants
4975 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4977 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4978 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4979 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4981 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4983 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4984 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4987 - many code generation updates and improvements
4988 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4991 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4992 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4994 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4996 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4999 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5000 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5002 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5003 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5005 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5007 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5011 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5012 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5438 ==============================================
5440 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5441 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5442 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5443 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5444 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5445 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5447 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5448 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

5505 * Updated translations:
5514 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5515 ==============================================
5518 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5519 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5520 an 'object manager' pattern:
5521 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5522 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5523 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5524 And server-side implementations:
5525 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5526 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5527 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5531 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5535 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5536 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5537 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5538 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5541 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5542 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5545 * Unix-specific APIs:
5546 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5547 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5548 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5549 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5550 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5551 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5582 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5583 ==============================================
5586 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5587 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5588 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5591 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5592 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5593 situations has been improved
5596 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5597 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5600 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5601 match strcmp() semantics
5602 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5603 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5604 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5606 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5607 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5610 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5612 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5614 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5615 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5616 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5946 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5947 - Support environment passing
5950 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5951 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5953 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5954 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5955 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5959 158725 free linked list with data

5972 * Translation updates:
5978 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5979 ==============================================
5981 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5982 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5984 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5985 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5987 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5989 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5991 g_settings_get_range
5992 g_settings_range_check
5993 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5995 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5996 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5998 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5999 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6001 g_main_context_invoke
6002 g_main_context_invoke_full
6004 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6005 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6006 looking for default applications.
6008 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6009 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6010 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6011 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6013 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6014 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6015 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6273 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6274 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6276 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6277 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6278 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6279 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6282 There have been many other improvements, however:
6285 - vastly improved test coverage
6286 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6287 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

6337 =====================================================
6339 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6340 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6341 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6342 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6343 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6344 | required (and will be along soon). |
6345 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6348 - cleanup automake setup
6349 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6350 - various docs fixups
6351 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6406 =====================================================
6408 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6409 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6410 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6411 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6412 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6415 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6416 -Bsymbolic-functions
6417 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6418 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6419 - use proper feature test macros for isnan

6421 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6424 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6425 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6426 nobody was doing that.
6427 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6429 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6430 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6432 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6433 have a serial number
6434 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6436 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6438 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6439 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6440 has finished running on GDBus services.
6441 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6442 this due to the obvious race)
6443 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6444 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6447 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6448 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6449 arguments and different behaviour
6450 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6451 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6452 strings instead of utf8 strings
6453 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6454 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6455 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6456 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6457 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6458 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6459 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6460 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6461 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6464 - improved documentation
6465 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6466 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6467 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6468 overridden using <override>.
6469 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6471 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6472 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6473 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6474 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6475 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6476 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6477 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6478 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6479 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6480 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6481 being set due to a premature free
6482 - command line tool: bash completion support
6483 - chain up in _finalize
6484 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6486 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6487 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6488 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6490 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6491 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6492 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6493 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6494 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6498 - always intern GBinding prop names
6499 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6500 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6501 - GNode docs improvements
6502 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6503 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6504 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6508 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6509 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6510 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6511 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6512 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6513 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6514 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6515 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6517 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6518 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

6520 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6521 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6522 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6523 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

7211 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7212 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7213 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7214 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7215 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7216 while loading or saving it.
7217 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7218 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7219 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7222 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7223 interfaces to dynamic types.
7226 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7227 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7947 ===================================================
7949 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7950 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7951 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7952 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7953 also uses less memory overall.
7955 * Make g_poll available as public api
7957 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7958 that a GError is set or unset
7960 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7962 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7963 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7965 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7966 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9604 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9605 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9606 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9607 efficient and scalable implementation.
