57 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
58 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
59 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
60 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

128 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
129 ==================================
131 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
132 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
133 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
134 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
136 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
137 directory for each unit test. (#538)
139 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
141 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
143 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
145 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
146 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
147 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
148 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
150 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
151 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
153 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
154 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
155 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
157 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
159 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
160 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
163 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
164 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
166 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
167 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
168 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
170 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
171 portal backends. (!317)
173 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
176 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
178 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
181 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
183 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
186 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
187 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
188 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
190 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
191 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
193 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
194 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
195 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
196 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
198 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
200 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

409 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
410 ==================================
412 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
413 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
414 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
415 with Meson or autotools. See:
416 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
418 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
420 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
421 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
423 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
425 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
427 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
428 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
429 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
430 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
433 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS

454 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
455 ==================================
457 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
458 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
459 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
460 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
462 * Many minor documentation fixes.
464 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
466 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
468 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
470 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
471 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
473 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
475 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
476 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
477 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
480 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
482 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.

1657 ==================================
1659 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1660 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1661 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1662 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1664 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1665 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1666 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1668 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1669 environment variable.
1671 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1672 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1833 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
1834 is unavailable or undesired.
1836 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
1837 glib-networking will also be required.

1891 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1892 ==================================
1894 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1895 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1896 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1897 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1899 This release corrects only this problem.
1901 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1902 ==================================
1904 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1905 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1906 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1908 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2254 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2255 ==================================
2257 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2258 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2259 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2260 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2261 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2262 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2264 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2265 have seen major improvements.
2267 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2268 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2269 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2272 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2274 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2276 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2278 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2279 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2280 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2281 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2282 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2283 you use the --strict option.
2285 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2286 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2287 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2289 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2291 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2292 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2293 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2339 ===================================
2341 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2342 before the release of 2.44.0.
2344 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2346 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2347 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2348 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2349 default in the next cycle.
2351 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

3201 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3202 ====================================================
3204 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3206 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3208 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3209 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3212 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3213 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3216 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3218 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3220 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3223 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3224 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3226 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3228 * Applications/Actions
3230 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3231 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3234 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3235 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3237 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3238 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3239 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3240 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3244 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3245 accesses that are performed in common situations
3247 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3248 are installed/removed
3250 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3251 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3253 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3254 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3259 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3261 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3262 that test programs don't pick them up
3264 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3266 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3267 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3268 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3269 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3271 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3272 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3274 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3275 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3276 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3280 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3282 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3284 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3286 Translations updated:
3294 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3297 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
3298 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
3299 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
3300 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
3301 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
3302 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
3303 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
3304 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3305 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3306 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
3307 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
3308 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen

3336 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3337 ====================================================
3339 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3343 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3345 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3346 them can restart the application with an action (via
3351 - new API for launching subprocesses
3353 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3355 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3357 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3358 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3360 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3362 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3364 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3365 actions and listing apps and actions
3367 - bash tab completion is supported
3369 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3371 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3372 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3374 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3375 DBusActivatable=true
3377 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3378 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3383 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3385 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3386 class and inotify backend
3388 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3389 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3391 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3396 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3397 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3398 when there are invalid schemas installed
3400 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3404 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3405 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3407 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3410 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3411 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3412 semantics of the interface in each case
3414 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3415 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3417 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3419 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3420 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3421 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3422 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3426 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3429 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3431 * Portability improvements
3433 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3435 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3436 actually support it (like Hurd)
3438 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3440 * Other small API changes/additions
3442 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3443 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3444 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3446 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3448 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3449 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3451 * GMainContext/GSource
3453 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3455 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3456 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3457 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3458 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3459 broken and should probably be fixed.
3461 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3462 require use of a linked list
3466 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3467 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3468 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3470 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3474 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3475 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3476 gphoto, archive, at least).
3478 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3480 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3483 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3484 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3485 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3487 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3489 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3491 * Many documentation improvements
3494 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3495 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3496 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3549 What's new in Glib 2.38
3550 ========================
3552 * Application support
3554 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3555 desktop entry specification
3557 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3558 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3559 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3561 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3562 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3563 to launch other applications
3565 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3566 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3570 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3571 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3572 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3573 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3574 any problems that this may have caused.
3576 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3577 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3578 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3579 (allowing memory savings)
3581 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3582 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3583 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3585 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3586 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3589 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3590 without destroying one of the objects involved
3594 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3595 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3596 with a finite number of cases
3598 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3599 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3601 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3602 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3603 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3604 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3607 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3611 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3612 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3613 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3615 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3617 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3618 and an API to check them
3620 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3621 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3623 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3624 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3628 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3629 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3630 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3633 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3634 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3635 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3637 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3642 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3643 allow for regexp matching on streams
3645 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3646 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3647 g_variant_new_printf()
3651 - we can now generate TAP output
3653 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3654 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3656 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3661 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3783 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
3784 ==============================================
3786 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3787 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3788 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3789 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3791 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3792 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3795 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3797 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3798 the key was locked down)

3860 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
3861 build the unmodified source
3863 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
3865 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
3866 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
3867 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
3874 698375 - D-Bus async properties
3875 700350 - timestamp issue
3876 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
3877 700035 - new API for instance private data
3879 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
3880 ==============================================
3882 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3883 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3885 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3886 and will trigger a warning.
3889 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

3923 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
3924 ==============================================
3926 * add support for installed tests:
3927 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
3929 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
3930 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3932 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3934 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3936 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3937 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3938 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3940 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
3956 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()

3971 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3972 ==============================================
3974 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3975 and a parser API for them is now provided
3977 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3978 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3979 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4039 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
4040 ==============================================
4042 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
4044 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
4045 the destination file
4047 - fix some 'available since' annotations
4049 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
4052 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
4053 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
4055 * Translations updated:
4071 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
4072 ==============================================
4074 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4075 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4076 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4077 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4131 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4132 ==============================================
4134 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4135 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4136 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4137 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4138 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4142 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4143 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4145 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4146 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4147 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4148 * documentation fixes
4149 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4152 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

4166 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4167 ==============================================
4169 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4171 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4172 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4174 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4175 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4177 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4190 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4191 ==============================================
4193 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
4196 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
4197 ready at a specified monotonic time
4199 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4201 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
4204 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
4205 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

4303 * Translation updates:
4318 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4319 ==============================================
4321 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4322 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4323 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4324 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4325 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4327 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4328 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4329 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4330 particular, are incompatible.
4332 * Bugs fixed in this release:
4333 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

4377 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4378 ==============================================
4380 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4381 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4382 causing regressions in applications.
4384 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4385 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4386 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4389 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4390 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4391 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4393 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4395 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4397 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4399 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4401 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4403 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4405 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4407 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray

4464 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4465 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4467 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4468 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

5305 ==============================================
5308 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5309 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5310 to an overridden property
5311 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5312 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5314 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5315 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

5359 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5360 ==============================================
5362 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5363 moved to GtkApplication.
5365 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5366 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5367 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5368 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5370 * lots of documentation improvements
5372 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5374 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5375 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5377 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5379 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5381 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5383 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5384 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5387 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5388 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5396 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
5397 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
5399 * Translations updated:
5403 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5404 ==============================================
5406 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5407 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5408 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5411 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5412 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5413 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5416 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5417 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5418 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5419 through an idle on the context.
5421 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5422 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5423 fixes here and there.
5425 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5426 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5427 API available outside GLib
5429 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5471 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5472 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5474 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5477 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5478 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

5493 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5494 =================================================
5496 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5497 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5499 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5500 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5501 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5502 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5503 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5504 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5505 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5506 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5507 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5508 required (and has been deprecated)
5509 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5510 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5511 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5512 without explicit initialisation.
5513 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5514 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5515 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5517 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5518 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5519 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5520 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5521 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5522 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5523 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5525 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5526 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5527 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5528 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5529 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5530 - other implementation details changed
5532 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5533 deprecated/ directory.
5535 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5536 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5537 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5539 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5540 platform over a year ago).
5542 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5543 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5545 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5546 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5548 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5549 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5550 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5551 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5554 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5555 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5558 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5560 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5561 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5563 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5564 in a multi-threaded program
5566 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5567 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5570 - drop -uninstalled variants
5571 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5573 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5574 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5575 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5577 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5579 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5580 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5583 - many code generation updates and improvements
5584 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5587 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5588 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5590 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5592 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5595 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5596 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5598 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5599 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5601 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5603 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5607 * Partial list of bugs closed:

6034 ==============================================
6036 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6037 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6038 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6039 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6040 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6041 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6043 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6044 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

6101 * Updated translations:
6110 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6111 ==============================================
6114 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6115 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6116 an 'object manager' pattern:
6117 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6118 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6119 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6120 And server-side implementations:
6121 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6122 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6123 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6127 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6131 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6132 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6133 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6134 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6137 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6138 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6141 * Unix-specific APIs:
6142 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6143 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6144 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing

6178 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6179 ==============================================
6182 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6183 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6184 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6187 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6188 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6189 situations has been improved
6192 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6193 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6196 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6197 match strcmp() semantics
6198 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6199 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6200 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6202 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6203 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6206 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6208 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6210 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6211 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6212 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6490 ==============================================
6492 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6493 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6498 g_get_monotonic_time
6500 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6503 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6505 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

6543 - Support environment passing
6546 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6547 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6549 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6550 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6551 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6555 158725 free linked list with data
6556 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

6568 * Translation updates:
6574 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6575 ==============================================
6577 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6578 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6580 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6581 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6583 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6585 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6587 g_settings_get_range
6588 g_settings_range_check
6589 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6591 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6592 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6594 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6595 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6597 g_main_context_invoke
6598 g_main_context_invoke_full
6600 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6601 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6602 looking for default applications.
6604 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6605 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6606 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6607 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6609 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6610 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6611 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6767 =====================================================
6771 - The GZip(De}Compressor can now process header information
6772 - Support for network proxies has been added, with the GProxy

6869 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6870 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6872 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6873 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6874 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6875 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6878 There have been many other improvements, however:
6881 - vastly improved test coverage
6882 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6883 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

6933 =====================================================
6935 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6936 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6937 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6938 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6939 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6940 | required (and will be along soon). |
6941 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6944 - cleanup automake setup
6945 - rename configure.in to configure.ac

7001 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7002 =====================================================
7004 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7005 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7006 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7007 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7008 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7011 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7012 -Bsymbolic-functions
7013 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7014 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7015 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7016 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7017 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7020 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7021 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7022 nobody was doing that.
7023 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7025 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7026 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7028 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7029 have a serial number
7030 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7032 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7034 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7035 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7036 has finished running on GDBus services.
7037 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7038 this due to the obvious race)
7039 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7040 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7043 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7044 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7045 arguments and different behaviour
7046 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7047 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7048 strings instead of utf8 strings
7049 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7050 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7051 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7052 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7053 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7054 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7055 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7056 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7057 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7060 - improved documentation
7061 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7062 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7063 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7064 overridden using <override>.
7065 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7067 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7068 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7069 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7070 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7071 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7072 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7073 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7074 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7075 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7076 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7077 being set due to a premature free
7078 - command line tool: bash completion support
7079 - chain up in _finalize
7080 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7082 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7083 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7084 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7086 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7087 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7088 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7089 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7090 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7094 - always intern GBinding prop names
7095 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7096 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7097 - GNode docs improvements
7098 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7099 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7100 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7104 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7105 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7106 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7107 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7108 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7109 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7110 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7111 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7113 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7114 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7115 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7116 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7117 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7118 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7119 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
7120 610784 array test failing
7121 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7122 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
7123 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
7124 622124 implement flags

7814 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7815 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7818 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7819 interfaces to dynamic types.

10176 =================================================
10178 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10179 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10180 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10182 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10183 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10186 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10187 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10188 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10189 "stutter stepping".
10190 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10192 * Memory management:
10193 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10194 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10195 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10196 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10197 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10198 never worked as intended.
10199 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10200 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10201 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10202 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10203 efficient and scalable implementation.
10204 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10206 * Pattern matching:
10207 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10208 unnecessary recursion.
10211 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10212 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10213 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10216 * g_thread_foreach:
10217 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10220 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10221 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10222 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10226 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10227 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
