5 `G_FILE_CREATE_REPLACE_DESTINATION` (#2325)
8 - #2325 file-roller symlink attack
9 - !1982 Backport !2325 “file-roller symlink attack” to glib-2-66
10 - !1990 Backport !1976 “Use the right permissions for directory watching on Win32” to glib-2-66
13 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.7

17 (work by Simon McVittie and Jan Alexander Steffens) (!1933, !1943)
19 * Fix a silent integer truncation when calling `g_byte_array_new_take()` for
20 byte arrays bigger than `G_MAXUINT` (work by Krzesimir Nowak) (!1944)
22 * Disallow using currently-undefined D-Bus connection or server flags to prevent
23 forward-compatibility problems with new security-sensitive flags likely to be
24 released in GLib 2.68 (work by Simon McVittie) (!1945)
27 - !1933 [2.66] Fix regressions in 2.66.6 where negative gssize indicates strlen()
28 - !1943 Backport !1941 “gkeyfilesettingsbackend: Fix basename handling when group is unset” to glib-2-66
29 - !1944 Backport !1942 “gbytearray: Do not accept too large byte arrays” to glib-2-66
30 - !1945 Backport !1934 “gdbus: Reject attempts to set future connection or server flags” to glib-2-66
33 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.6
34 ==================================

37 silent integer truncation and heap overflow problem (discovered by
38 Kevin Backhouse, work by Philip Withnall) (#2319)
41 - !1927 Backport !1926 “Add g_memdup2()” to glib-2-66
44 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.5
45 ==================================
47 * Fix some issues with handling over-long (invalid) input when parsing for `GDate` (!1824)
49 * Don’t load GIO modules or parse other GIO environment variables when `AT_SECURE`
50 is set (i.e. in a setuid/setgid/setcap process). GIO has always been
51 documented as not being safe to use in privileged processes, but people persist
52 in using it unsafely, so these changes should harden things against potential
53 attacks at least a little. Unfortunately they break a couple of projects which
54 were relying on reading `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, so GIO continues to read
55 that for setgid/setcap (but not setuid) processes. This loophole will be closed
56 in GLib 2.70 (see issue #2316), which should give modules 6 months to change
57 their behaviour. (Work by Simon McVittie and Philip Withnall) (#2168, #2305)
59 * Fix `g_spawn()` searching `PATH` when it wasn’t meant to (work by
60 Simon McVittie and Thomas Haller) (!1913)

89 - !1805 Backport !1797 “gdatetime: Improve ISO 8601 parsing to avoid floating point checks” to glib-2-66
92 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.3
93 ==================================
95 * Fix awkward bug with `GPollFD` handling in some situations (work by Claudio
96 Saavedra and Eugene M) (#1592)
98 * Fix sending FDs attached to very large D-Bus messages (work by Simon McVittie
99 and Giovanni Campagna) (#2074)
102 - #1592 Main loop ignores GPollFD sources when there is at least one source ready with priority higher than default one
103 - !1720 Backport !1718 “gtrace: Add G_GNUC_PRINTF annotation” to glib-2-66

111 ==================================
113 * Important and time-critical fix to DST transitions which will happen in Europe
114 on 2020-10-25 on distributions which use the ‘slim’ tzdata format (which is
115 now the default in tzdata/tzcode 2020b) (work by Claudi M., LRN) (#2224)
117 * Further timezone handling changes to restore support for changing the timezone
118 when `/etc/localtime/` changes (work by António Fernandes, Sebastian Keller) (#2204)
120 * Fix deadlock on Windows when `G_SLICE` is set in the environment (diagnosis by
121 Christoph Reiter) (#2225)
123 * Fix UTF-8 validation when escaping URI components (thanks to Marc-André Lureau) (!1680)

145 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.1
146 ==================================
148 * A performance problem where timezones were reloaded from disk every time a
149 `GTimeZone` was created has been fixed (#2204), but this means that changes to
150 `/etc/localtime` will not take effect until a process restarts; future changes
151 in a subsequent 2.66.x release will improve this
153 * Security fix for incorrect scope/zone ID parsing in URIs (!1669)

966 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
968 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing
969 `G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS` flag; the destination permissions would be
970 private rather than following the process’ umask (!1142)
972 * Several `GDateTime` parsing fixes (!1127)
974 * Always build the tests if installed-tests are enabled, so that the tests can
975 actually be installed (!1141)
977 * Rework atomic function implementations to use memory barrier in the correct
978 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
979 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
981 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
983 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)
985 * Bump Python requirement to ≥ 3.5, which we implicitly relied on anyway through
986 our Meson dependency (!1132)

1143 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1144 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1146 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1147 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1149 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1150 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1152 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1153 third-party code should now be using

1168 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1170 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1172 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1173 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1175 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1177 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1178 of packaged libraries (!951)
1180 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1651 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
1652 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1653 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1654 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
1656 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)

1722 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1723 ==================================
1725 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1726 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1727 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1728 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1730 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1731 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1733 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1735 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1737 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1739 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1740 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1741 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1742 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1744 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1745 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1747 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1748 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1749 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1751 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1753 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1754 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1757 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1758 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1760 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1761 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1762 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1764 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1765 portal backends. (!317)
1767 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1770 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1772 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1775 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1777 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1780 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1781 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1782 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1784 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1785 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1787 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1788 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1789 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1790 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1792 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1794 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2003 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2004 ==================================
2006 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2007 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2008 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2009 with Meson or autotools. See:
2010 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2012 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2014 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2015 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2017 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2019 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2021 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2022 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2023 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2024 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2027 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2028 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2029 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2030 !265 Network monitor again
2031 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2032 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2033 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2034 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2035 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2036 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2038 * Translation updates:
2048 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2049 ==================================
2051 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2052 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2053 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2054 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2056 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2058 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2060 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2062 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2064 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2065 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2067 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2069 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2070 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2071 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2074 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2076 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2079 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2080 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

3251 ==================================
3253 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3254 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3255 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3256 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
3258 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
3259 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3260 uses prctl() but the pthread api.

3428 is unavailable or undesired.
3430 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

3488 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3489 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3490 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3491 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3493 This release corrects only this problem.

3496 ==================================
3498 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3499 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3500 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.

3848 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3849 ==================================
3851 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3852 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3853 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3854 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3855 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3856 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3858 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3859 have seen major improvements.
3861 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3862 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3863 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3866 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3868 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3870 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3872 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3873 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3874 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3875 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3876 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3877 you use the --strict option.
3879 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3880 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3881 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3883 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3885 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3886 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3887 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3932 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3933 ===================================
3935 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3936 before the release of 2.44.0.
3938 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3940 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3941 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3942 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3943 default in the next cycle.
3945 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3947 * new GTask:completed property
3949 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3950 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

3990 ===================================
3992 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3993 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3994 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3996 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3997 effective busy state.
3999 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4050 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4052 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4053 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

4421 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
4422 ===================================
4424 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
4425 and NULL pointer dereferences.
4427 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
4428 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
4430 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
4431 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
4433 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
4434 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
4436 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
4438 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
4439 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
4441 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
4442 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
4443 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
4445 * ... and many other bug fixes.

4537 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4538 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4539 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4540 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4795 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4796 ====================================================
4798 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4800 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4802 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4803 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4806 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4807 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4810 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4812 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4814 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4817 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4818 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4820 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4822 * Applications/Actions
4824 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4825 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4828 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4829 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4831 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4832 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4833 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4834 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4838 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4839 accesses that are performed in common situations
4841 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4842 are installed/removed
4844 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4845 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4847 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4848 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4853 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4855 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4856 that test programs don't pick them up
4858 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4860 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4861 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4862 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4863 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4865 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4866 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4868 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4869 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4870 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4874 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4876 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4878 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

4937 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4939 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4940 them can restart the application with an action (via
4945 - new API for launching subprocesses
4947 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4949 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4951 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4952 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4954 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4956 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4958 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4959 actions and listing apps and actions
4961 - bash tab completion is supported
4963 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4965 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4966 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4968 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4969 DBusActivatable=true
4971 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4972 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4977 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4979 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4980 class and inotify backend
4982 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4983 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4985 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4990 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4991 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4992 when there are invalid schemas installed
4994 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4998 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4999 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5001 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5004 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5005 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5006 semantics of the interface in each case
5008 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5009 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5011 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5013 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5014 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5015 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5016 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5020 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5023 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5025 * Portability improvements
5027 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5029 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5030 actually support it (like Hurd)
5032 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5034 * Other small API changes/additions
5036 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5037 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5038 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5040 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5042 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5043 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5045 * GMainContext/GSource
5047 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5049 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5050 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5051 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5052 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5053 broken and should probably be fixed.
5055 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5056 require use of a linked list
5060 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5061 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5062 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5064 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5068 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5069 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5070 gphoto, archive, at least).
5072 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5074 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5077 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5078 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5079 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5081 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5083 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5085 * Many documentation improvements
5088 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

5143 What's new in Glib 2.38
5144 ========================
5146 * Application support
5148 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5149 desktop entry specification
5151 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5152 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5153 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5155 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5156 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5157 to launch other applications
5159 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5160 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5164 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5165 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5166 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5167 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5168 any problems that this may have caused.
5170 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5171 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5172 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5173 (allowing memory savings)
5175 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5176 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5177 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5179 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5180 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5183 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5184 without destroying one of the objects involved
5188 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5189 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5190 with a finite number of cases
5192 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5193 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5195 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5196 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5197 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5198 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5201 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5205 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5206 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5207 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5209 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5211 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5212 and an API to check them
5214 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5215 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5217 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5218 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5222 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5223 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5224 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5227 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5228 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5229 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5231 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5236 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5237 allow for regexp matching on streams
5239 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5240 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5241 g_variant_new_printf()
5245 - we can now generate TAP output
5247 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5248 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5250 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5255 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5378 ==============================================
5380 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5381 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5382 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5383 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5385 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5386 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5389 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5391 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
5392 the key was locked down)

5474 ==============================================
5476 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5477 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5479 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5480 and will trigger a warning.

5524 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5526 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5528 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5530 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

5566 ==============================================
5568 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5569 and a parser API for them is now provided
5571 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5572 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5573 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5633 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
5634 ==============================================
5636 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5638 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5639 the destination file
5641 - fix some 'available since' annotations
5643 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

5665 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5666 ==============================================
5668 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5669 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5670 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5671 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5725 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5726 ==============================================
5728 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5729 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5730 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5731 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5732 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5736 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5737 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5739 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
5740 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
5741 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
5742 * documentation fixes
5743 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
5746 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

5760 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
5761 ==============================================
5763 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5765 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5766 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5768 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5769 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5771 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5784 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5785 ==============================================
5787 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5790 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5791 ready at a specified monotonic time
5793 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5795 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
5798 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
5799 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

5897 * Translation updates:
5912 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5913 ==============================================
5915 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5916 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5917 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5918 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5919 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5921 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5922 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5923 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5924 particular, are incompatible.
5926 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5960 * Translation updates:
5971 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5972 ==============================================
5974 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5975 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5976 causing regressions in applications.
5978 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5979 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5980 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5983 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5984 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5985 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5987 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5989 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5991 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5993 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5995 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5997 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5999 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6001 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6003 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6005 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6056 ==============================================
6058 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6059 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6061 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6062 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6064 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6066 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
6068 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
6070 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
6072 * GLib version macros updated
6074 * Update to Unicode 6.2

6899 ==============================================
6902 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6903 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6904 to an overridden property
6905 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6906 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6908 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6909 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

6953 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6954 ==============================================
6956 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6957 moved to GtkApplication.
6959 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6960 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6961 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6962 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6964 * lots of documentation improvements
6966 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6968 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6969 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6971 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6973 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6975 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6977 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6978 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6981 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6982 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

6986 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6987 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
6988 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
6989 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6990 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6991 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6993 * Translations updated:
6997 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6998 ==============================================
7000 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7001 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7002 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7005 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7006 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7007 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7010 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7011 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7012 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7013 through an idle on the context.
7015 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7016 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7017 fixes here and there.
7019 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7020 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7021 API available outside GLib
7023 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7062 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
7064 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7065 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7066 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7068 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7071 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7072 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
7073 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality

7087 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7088 =================================================
7090 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7091 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7093 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7094 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7095 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7096 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7097 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7098 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7099 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7100 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7101 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7102 required (and has been deprecated)
7103 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7104 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7105 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7106 without explicit initialisation.
7107 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7108 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7109 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7111 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7112 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7113 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7114 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7115 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7116 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7117 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7119 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7120 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7121 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7122 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7123 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7124 - other implementation details changed
7126 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7127 deprecated/ directory.
7129 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7130 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7131 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7133 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7134 platform over a year ago).
7136 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7137 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7139 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7140 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7142 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7143 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7144 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7145 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7148 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7149 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7152 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7154 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7155 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7157 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7158 in a multi-threaded program
7160 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7161 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7164 - drop -uninstalled variants
7165 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7167 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7168 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7169 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7171 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7173 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7174 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7177 - many code generation updates and improvements
7178 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7181 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7182 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7184 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7186 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7189 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7190 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7192 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7193 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7195 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7197 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7201 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7202 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7627 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
7628 ==============================================
7630 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7631 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7632 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7633 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7634 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7635 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7637 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7638 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7640 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7642 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

7695 * Updated translations:
7704 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7705 ==============================================
7708 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7709 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7710 an 'object manager' pattern:
7711 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7712 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7713 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7714 And server-side implementations:
7715 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7716 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7717 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7721 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7725 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7726 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7727 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7728 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7731 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7732 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7735 * Unix-specific APIs:
7736 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7737 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7738 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7739 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7740 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7741 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7765 * Updated translations
7772 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7773 ==============================================
7776 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7777 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7778 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7781 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7782 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7783 situations has been improved
7786 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7787 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7790 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7791 match strcmp() semantics
7792 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7793 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7794 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7796 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7797 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7800 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7802 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7804 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7805 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7806 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8086 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8087 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8092 g_get_monotonic_time
8094 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8097 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8099 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

8136 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8137 - Support environment passing
8140 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8141 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8143 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8144 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8145 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8149 158725 free linked list with data

8162 * Translation updates:
8168 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8169 ==============================================
8171 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8172 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8174 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8175 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8177 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8179 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8181 g_settings_get_range
8182 g_settings_range_check
8183 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8185 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8186 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8188 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8189 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8191 g_main_context_invoke
8192 g_main_context_invoke_full
8194 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8195 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8196 looking for default applications.
8198 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8199 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8200 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8201 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8203 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8204 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8205 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8463 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8464 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8466 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8467 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8468 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8469 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8472 There have been many other improvements, however:
8475 - vastly improved test coverage
8476 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8477 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8478 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8496 without mapping functions
8497 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
8500 - improve closure support for bindings
8501 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

8527 =====================================================
8529 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8530 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8531 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8532 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8533 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8534 | required (and will be along soon). |

8598 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8599 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8600 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8601 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8602 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8605 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8606 -Bsymbolic-functions
8607 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8608 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8609 - use proper feature test macros for isnan

8611 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8614 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8615 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8616 nobody was doing that.
8617 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8619 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8620 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8622 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8623 have a serial number
8624 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8626 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8628 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8629 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8630 has finished running on GDBus services.
8631 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8632 this due to the obvious race)
8633 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8634 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8637 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8638 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8639 arguments and different behaviour
8640 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8641 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8642 strings instead of utf8 strings
8643 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8644 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8645 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8646 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8647 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8648 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8649 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8650 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8651 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8654 - improved documentation
8655 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8656 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8657 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8658 overridden using <override>.
8659 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8661 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8662 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8663 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8664 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8665 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8666 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8667 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8668 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8669 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8670 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8671 being set due to a premature free
8672 - command line tool: bash completion support
8673 - chain up in _finalize
8674 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8676 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8677 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8678 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8680 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8681 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8682 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8683 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8684 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8688 - always intern GBinding prop names
8689 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8690 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8691 - GNode docs improvements
8692 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8693 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8694 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8698 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8699 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8700 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8701 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8702 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8703 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8704 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8705 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8707 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8708 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

8710 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8711 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8712 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8713 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

9398 ===================================================
9401 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9402 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9403 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9404 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9405 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9406 while loading or saving it.
9407 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9408 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9409 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9412 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9413 interfaces to dynamic types.
9416 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9417 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
9418 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

11725 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
11726 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
11727 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
11730 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
11733 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
11734 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
11735 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
11736 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11737 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11738 variants [Martyn Russell]
11741 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
11742 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
11745 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
11748 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
11749 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
11750 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
11751 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
11752 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
11753 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
11754 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

11770 =================================================
11772 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11773 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11774 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11776 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11777 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11780 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11781 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11782 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11783 "stutter stepping".
11784 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11786 * Memory management:
11787 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11788 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11789 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11790 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11791 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11792 never worked as intended.
11793 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11794 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11795 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11796 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11797 efficient and scalable implementation.
11798 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11800 * Pattern matching:
11801 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11802 unnecessary recursion.
11805 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11806 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11807 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11810 * g_thread_foreach:
11811 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11814 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11815 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11816 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11820 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11821 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11822 since they are in glib.h
