1 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2 ==============================================
4 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
7 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
8 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
12 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
13 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
15 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
16 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
17 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
19 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
22 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
23 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h
24 692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris

27 693673 add g_dbus_address_escape_value()
28 693694 gio: Fix annotations on g_[async_]initable_new() and friends
36 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
37 ==============================================
39 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
41 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
42 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
44 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
45 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
47 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
60 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
61 ==============================================
63 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
66 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
67 ready at a specified monotonic time
69 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
71 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
74 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
75 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

173 * Translation updates:
188 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
189 ==============================================
191 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
192 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
193 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
194 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
195 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
197 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
198 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
199 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
200 particular, are incompatible.
202 * Bugs fixed in this release:

236 * Translation updates:
247 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
248 ==============================================
250 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
251 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
252 causing regressions in applications.
254 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
255 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
256 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
259 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
260 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
261 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
263 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
265 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
267 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
269 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
271 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
273 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
275 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
277 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
279 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
281 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

335 give feedback if they cause trouble:
337 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
338 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

1179 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
1180 to an overridden property

1233 moved to GtkApplication.
1235 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
1236 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
1237 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
1238 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
1240 * lots of documentation improvements
1242 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
1244 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs

1277 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
1278 There have also been many related improvements to action group
1281 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
1282 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
1283 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
1286 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
1287 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
1288 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
1289 through an idle on the context.
1291 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
1292 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
1293 fixes here and there.
1295 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
1296 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
1297 API available outside GLib
1299 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

1334 ==============================================
1336 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
1338 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
1340 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
1341 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
1342 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
1344 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
1347 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
1348 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
1349 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
1352 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
1353 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
1356 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
1359 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
1360 - various GIO file and stream fixes
1361 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
1363 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
1364 =================================================
1366 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
1367 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
1369 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
1370 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
1371 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
1372 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
1373 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
1374 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
1375 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
1376 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
1377 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
1378 required (and has been deprecated)
1379 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
1380 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
1381 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
1382 without explicit initialisation.
1383 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
1384 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
1385 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
1387 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
1388 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
1389 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
1390 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
1391 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
1392 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
1393 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
1395 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
1396 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
1397 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
1398 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
1399 - GThread is now a refcounted type
1400 - other implementation details changed
1402 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
1403 deprecated/ directory.
1405 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
1406 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
1407 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
1409 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
1410 platform over a year ago).
1412 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
1413 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
1415 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
1416 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
1418 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
1419 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
1420 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
1421 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
1424 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
1425 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
1428 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
1430 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
1431 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
1433 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
1434 in a multi-threaded program
1436 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
1437 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
1440 - drop -uninstalled variants
1441 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
1443 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
1444 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
1445 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
1447 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
1449 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
1450 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
1453 - many code generation updates and improvements
1454 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
1457 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
1458 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
1460 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
1462 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
1465 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
1466 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
1468 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
1469 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
1471 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
1473 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
1477 * Partial list of bugs closed:
1478 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

1903 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
1904 ==============================================
1906 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
1907 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
1908 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
1909 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
1910 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
1911 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
1913 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
1914 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
1916 * Access to quarks is now lockless
1918 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
1920 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

1971 * Updated translations:
1980 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
1981 ==============================================
1984 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
1985 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
1986 an 'object manager' pattern:
1987 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
1988 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
1989 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
1990 And server-side implementations:
1991 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
1992 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
1993 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
1997 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
2001 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
2002 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
2003 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
2004 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
2007 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
2008 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
2011 * Unix-specific APIs:
2012 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
2013 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
2014 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
2015 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
2016 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
2017 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
2020 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

2041 * Updated translations
2048 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
2049 ==============================================
2052 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
2053 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
2054 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
2057 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
2058 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
2059 situations has been improved
2062 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
2063 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
2066 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
2067 match strcmp() semantics
2068 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
2069 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
2070 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
2072 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
2073 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
2076 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
2078 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
2080 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
2081 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
2082 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

2444 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
2445 ==============================================
2447 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
2448 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
2450 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
2451 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
2453 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
2455 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
2457 g_settings_get_range
2458 g_settings_range_check
2459 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
2461 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
2462 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
2464 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
2465 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
2467 g_main_context_invoke
2468 g_main_context_invoke_full
2470 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
2471 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
2472 looking for default applications.
2474 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
2475 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
2476 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
2477 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
2479 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
2480 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
2481 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
2484 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
2485 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality
2486 620710 g_get_user_data_dir() uses CSIDL_PERSONAL and not CSIDL_APPDATA

2736 =====================================================
2738 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2739 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
2740 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2742 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
2743 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
2744 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
2745 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
2748 There have been many other improvements, however:
2751 - vastly improved test coverage
2752 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
2753 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
2754 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

2802 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2803 =====================================================
2805 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2806 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
2807 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
2808 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
2809 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
2810 | required (and will be along soon). |
2811 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2814 - cleanup automake setup
2815 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
2816 - various docs fixups
2817 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

2823 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
2824 - add g_settings_reset()
2825 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
2828 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

2833 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
2834 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
2835 - constness fixes for introspection structures
2836 - clean ups to subtree registration API
2839 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

2843 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
2844 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
2847 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
2848 617483 Credentials passing
2849 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

2871 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
2872 =====================================================
2874 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2875 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
2876 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
2877 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
2878 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
2881 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
2882 -Bsymbolic-functions
2883 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
2884 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
2885 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
2886 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
2887 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2890 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
2891 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
2892 nobody was doing that.
2893 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
2895 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
2896 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
2898 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
2899 have a serial number
2900 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
2902 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
2904 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
2905 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
2906 has finished running on GDBus services.
2907 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
2908 this due to the obvious race)
2909 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
2910 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
2913 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
2914 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
2915 arguments and different behaviour
2916 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
2917 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
2918 strings instead of utf8 strings
2919 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
2920 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
2921 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
2922 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
2923 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
2924 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
2925 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
2926 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
2927 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
2930 - improved documentation
2931 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
2932 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
2933 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
2934 overridden using <override>.
2935 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
2937 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
2938 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
2939 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
2940 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
2941 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
2942 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
2943 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
2944 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
2945 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
2946 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
2947 being set due to a premature free
2948 - command line tool: bash completion support
2949 - chain up in _finalize
2950 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
2952 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
2953 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
2954 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
2956 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
2957 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
2958 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
2959 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
2960 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
2964 - always intern GBinding prop names
2965 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
2966 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
2967 - GNode docs improvements
2968 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
2969 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
2970 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
2974 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
2975 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
2976 - improved tests for GKeyfile
2977 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
2978 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
2979 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
2980 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
2981 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
2983 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
2984 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
2985 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
2986 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
2987 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
2988 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
2989 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

3674 ===================================================
3677 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
3678 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
3679 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
3680 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
3681 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
3682 while loading or saving it.
3683 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
3684 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
3685 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
3688 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
3689 interfaces to dynamic types.
3692 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
3693 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
3694 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

4412 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
4413 ===================================================
4415 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
4416 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
4417 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
4418 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
4419 also uses less memory overall.
4421 * Make g_poll available as public api
4423 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
4424 that a GError is set or unset
4426 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
4428 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
4429 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
4431 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
4432 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

6090 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
6091 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
6092 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
6096 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
6097 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
