1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
2 ===================================
4 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
5 before the release of 2.44.0.
7 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
9 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
10 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
11 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
12 default in the next cycle.
14 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
16 * new GTask:completed property
18 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
19 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
22 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
23 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows

58 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
59 ===================================
61 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
62 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
63 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
65 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the

115 ==================================
117 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
118 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
119 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
121 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic

602 =====================================================
604 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
605 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
606 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
607 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
608 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
609 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
611 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
614 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken
615 673607 invalid assumption in g_cond_wait_until() / g_get_monotonic_time() API

857 * Translations updates:
864 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
865 ====================================================
867 * GSettings fixes/improvements
869 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
871 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
872 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
875 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
876 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
879 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
881 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
883 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
886 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
887 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
889 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
891 * Applications/Actions
893 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
894 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
897 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
898 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
900 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
901 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
902 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
903 not itself at fault for the errant call)
907 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
908 accesses that are performed in common situations
910 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
911 are installed/removed
913 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
914 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
916 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
917 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
922 - ignore qualified tags, as above
924 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
925 that test programs don't pick them up
927 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
929 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
930 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
931 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
932 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
934 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
935 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
937 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
938 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
939 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
943 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
945 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
947 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
949 Translations updated:

999 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1000 ====================================================
1002 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1006 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1008 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1009 them can restart the application with an action (via
1014 - new API for launching subprocesses
1016 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1018 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1020 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1021 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1023 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1025 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1027 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1028 actions and listing apps and actions
1030 - bash tab completion is supported
1032 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1034 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1035 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1037 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1038 DBusActivatable=true
1040 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1041 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1046 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1048 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1049 class and inotify backend
1051 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1052 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1054 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1059 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
1060 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
1061 when there are invalid schemas installed
1063 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
1067 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
1068 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
1070 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
1073 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
1074 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
1075 semantics of the interface in each case
1077 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
1078 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
1080 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
1082 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
1083 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
1084 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
1085 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1089 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1092 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1094 * Portability improvements
1096 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1098 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1099 actually support it (like Hurd)
1101 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1103 * Other small API changes/additions
1105 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1106 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1107 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1109 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1111 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1112 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1114 * GMainContext/GSource
1116 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1118 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1119 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1120 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1121 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1122 broken and should probably be fixed.
1124 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1125 require use of a linked list
1129 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1130 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1131 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1133 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1137 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1138 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1139 gphoto, archive, at least).
1141 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1143 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1146 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1147 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1148 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1150 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1152 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1154 * Many documentation improvements
1157 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

1212 What's new in Glib 2.38
1213 ========================
1215 * Application support
1217 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1218 desktop entry specification
1220 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1221 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1222 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1224 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1225 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1226 to launch other applications
1228 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1229 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1233 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1234 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1235 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1236 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1237 any problems that this may have caused.
1239 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1240 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1241 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1242 (allowing memory savings)
1244 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1245 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1246 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1248 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1249 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1252 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1253 without destroying one of the objects involved
1257 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1258 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1259 with a finite number of cases
1261 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1262 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1264 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1265 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1266 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1267 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1270 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1274 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1275 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1276 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1278 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1280 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1281 and an API to check them
1283 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1284 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1286 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1287 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1291 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1292 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1293 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1296 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1297 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1298 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1300 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1305 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1306 allow for regexp matching on streams
1308 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1309 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1310 g_variant_new_printf()
1314 - we can now generate TAP output
1316 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1317 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1319 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1324 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1449 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1450 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1451 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1452 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

1635 ==============================================
1637 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1638 and a parser API for them is now provided
1640 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1641 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1642 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1794 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1795 ==============================================
1797 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1798 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1799 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1800 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1801 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1805 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1806 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1808 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1809 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1810 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
1811 * documentation fixes
1812 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
1815 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

1829 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1830 ==============================================
1832 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1834 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1835 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1837 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1838 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1840 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1853 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1854 ==============================================
1856 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1859 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1860 ready at a specified monotonic time
1862 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1864 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

1966 * Translation updates:
1981 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1982 ==============================================
1984 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1985 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1986 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1987 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1988 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1990 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1991 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1992 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1993 particular, are incompatible.
1995 * Bugs fixed in this release:
1996 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
1997 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

2029 * Translation updates:
2040 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2041 ==============================================
2043 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2044 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2045 causing regressions in applications.
2047 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2048 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2049 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2052 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2053 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2054 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2056 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2058 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
2060 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
2062 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
2064 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
2066 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
2068 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
2070 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
2072 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
2074 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2124 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
2125 ==============================================
2127 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
2128 give feedback if they cause trouble:
2130 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
2131 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2133 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
2135 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
2137 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
2139 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
2141 * GLib version macros updated
2143 * Update to Unicode 6.2

2971 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2972 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2973 to an overridden property
2974 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2975 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2977 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
2978 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

3022 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
3023 ==============================================
3025 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3026 moved to GtkApplication.
3028 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3029 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3030 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3031 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3033 * lots of documentation improvements
3035 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3037 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3038 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3040 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3042 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3044 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3046 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3047 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
3050 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates

3062 * Translations updated:
3066 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
3067 ==============================================
3069 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
3070 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
3071 There have also been many related improvements to action group
3074 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
3075 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering

3079 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
3080 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
3081 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
3082 through an idle on the context.
3084 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
3085 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3086 fixes here and there.
3088 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3089 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3090 API available outside GLib

3135 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
3137 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
3140 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
3141 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
3142 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
3145 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
3146 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
3149 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
3152 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
3153 - various GIO file and stream fixes
3154 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
3156 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3157 =================================================
3159 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3160 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3162 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3163 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3164 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3165 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3166 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3167 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3168 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3169 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3170 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3171 required (and has been deprecated)
3172 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3173 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3174 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3175 without explicit initialisation.
3176 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3177 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3178 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3180 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3181 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3182 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3183 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3184 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3185 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3186 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3188 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3189 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3190 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3191 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3192 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3193 - other implementation details changed
3195 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3196 deprecated/ directory.
3198 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3199 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3200 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3202 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3203 platform over a year ago).
3205 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3206 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3208 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3209 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3211 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3212 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3213 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3214 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3217 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3218 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3221 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3223 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3224 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3226 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3227 in a multi-threaded program
3229 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3230 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3233 - drop -uninstalled variants
3234 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3236 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3237 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3238 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3240 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3242 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3243 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3246 - many code generation updates and improvements
3247 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3250 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3251 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3253 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3255 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3258 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3259 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3261 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3262 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3264 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3266 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3270 * Partial list of bugs closed:
3271 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3696 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
3697 ==============================================
3699 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3700 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3701 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3702 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3703 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3704 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3706 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3707 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3709 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3711 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
3713 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
3715 * Introspection improvements:

3764 * Updated translations:
3773 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3774 ==============================================
3777 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3778 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3779 an 'object manager' pattern:
3780 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3781 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3782 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3783 And server-side implementations:
3784 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3785 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3786 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3790 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3794 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3795 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3796 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3797 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3800 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3801 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3804 * Unix-specific APIs:
3805 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3806 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3807 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3808 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3809 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3810 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
3813 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

3825 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
3826 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
3827 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
3828 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
3829 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

3832 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
3834 * Updated translations
3841 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3842 ==============================================
3845 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3846 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3847 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3850 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3851 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3852 situations has been improved
3855 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3856 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3859 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3860 match strcmp() semantics
3861 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3862 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3863 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3865 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3866 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3869 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3871 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3873 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3874 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3875 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4237 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4238 ==============================================
4240 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4241 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4243 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4244 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4246 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4248 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4250 g_settings_get_range
4251 g_settings_range_check
4252 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4254 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4255 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4257 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4258 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4260 g_main_context_invoke
4261 g_main_context_invoke_full
4263 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4264 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4265 looking for default applications.
4267 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4268 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4269 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4270 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4272 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4273 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4274 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
4277 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
4278 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality

4529 =====================================================
4531 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4532 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4533 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4535 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4536 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4537 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4538 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4541 There have been many other improvements, however:
4544 - vastly improved test coverage
4545 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4546 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4547 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

4596 =====================================================
4598 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4599 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4600 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4601 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4602 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4603 | required (and will be along soon). |
4604 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4607 - cleanup automake setup
4608 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4609 - various docs fixups
4610 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

4616 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
4617 - add g_settings_reset()
4618 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
4621 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

4627 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
4628 - constness fixes for introspection structures
4629 - clean ups to subtree registration API
4632 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

4635 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
4636 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
4637 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
4640 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
4641 617483 Credentials passing

4665 =====================================================
4667 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4668 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4669 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4670 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4671 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4674 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4675 -Bsymbolic-functions
4676 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4677 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4678 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4679 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4680 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4683 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4684 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4685 nobody was doing that.
4686 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4688 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4689 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4691 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4692 have a serial number
4693 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4695 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4697 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4698 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4699 has finished running on GDBus services.
4700 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4701 this due to the obvious race)
4702 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4703 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4706 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4707 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4708 arguments and different behaviour
4709 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4710 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4711 strings instead of utf8 strings
4712 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4713 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4714 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4715 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4716 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4717 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4718 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4719 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4720 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4723 - improved documentation
4724 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4725 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4726 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4727 overridden using <override>.
4728 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4730 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4731 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4732 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4733 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4734 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4735 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4736 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4737 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4738 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4739 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4740 being set due to a premature free
4741 - command line tool: bash completion support
4742 - chain up in _finalize
4743 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4745 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4746 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4747 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4749 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4750 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4751 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4752 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4753 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4757 - always intern GBinding prop names
4758 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4759 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4760 - GNode docs improvements
4761 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4762 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4763 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4767 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4768 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4769 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4770 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4771 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4772 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4773 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4774 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4776 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4777 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4778 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4779 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4780 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4781 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section

5466 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
5467 ===================================================
5470 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
5471 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
5472 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
5473 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
5474 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
5475 while loading or saving it.
5476 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
5477 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5478 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5481 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5482 interfaces to dynamic types.
5485 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
5486 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
5487 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

6205 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
6206 ===================================================
6208 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
6209 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
6210 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
6211 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
6212 also uses less memory overall.
6214 * Make g_poll available as public api
6216 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
6217 that a GError is set or unset
6219 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6221 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6222 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6224 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
6225 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
