1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2 ==================================
4 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
5 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
6 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
7 with Meson or autotools. See:
8 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
10 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
12 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
13 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
15 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
17 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
19 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
20 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
21 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
22 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
25 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
26 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
27 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
28 !265 Network monitor again
29 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
30 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
31 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
32 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
33 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
34 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
36 * Translation updates:
46 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
47 ==================================
49 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
50 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
51 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
52 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
54 * Many minor documentation fixes.
56 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
58 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
60 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
62 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
63 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
65 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
67 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
68 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
69 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
72 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
74 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
77 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
78 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

107 !220 date test: Use g_test_skip(), not g_test_incomplete()
108 #1467 malloc difference causes refstring test to fail on FreeBSD
109 !230 gbookmarkfile: Fix some more minor leaks when metadata elements are repeated
110 #1466 Not Able to Build glib 2.57.2 in Mingw-w64 x64 bits
111 #1433 test_posix_parse: assertion failed (g_time_zone_get_abbreviation (tz, 0) == "UTC"): ("LMT" == "UTC")

1249 ==================================
1251 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1252 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1253 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1254 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1256 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1257 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1258 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1260 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1261 environment variable.
1263 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1264 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1426 is unavailable or undesired.
1428 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

1483 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1484 ==================================
1486 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1487 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1488 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1489 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1491 This release corrects only this problem.
1493 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1494 ==================================
1496 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1497 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1498 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1500 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1846 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1847 ==================================
1849 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1850 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1851 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1852 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1853 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1854 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1856 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1857 have seen major improvements.
1859 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1860 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1861 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1864 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1866 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1868 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1870 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1871 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1872 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1873 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1874 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1875 you use the --strict option.
1877 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1878 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1879 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1881 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1883 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1884 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1885 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1931 ===================================
1933 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1934 before the release of 2.44.0.
1936 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1938 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1939 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1940 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1941 default in the next cycle.
1943 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1945 * new GTask:completed property

2537 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2538 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2793 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2794 ====================================================
2796 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2798 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2800 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2801 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2804 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2805 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2808 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2810 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2812 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2815 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2816 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2818 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2820 * Applications/Actions
2822 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2823 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2826 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2827 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2829 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2830 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2831 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2832 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2836 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2837 accesses that are performed in common situations
2839 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2840 are installed/removed
2842 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2843 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2845 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2846 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2851 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2853 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2854 that test programs don't pick them up
2856 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2858 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2859 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2860 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2861 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2863 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2864 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2866 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2867 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2868 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2872 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2874 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2876 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2878 Translations updated:
2886 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
2887 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
2888 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
2889 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
2890 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
2891 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
2892 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
2893 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
2894 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
2895 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
2896 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2897 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2898 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
2899 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
2900 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
2901 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake

2928 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2929 ====================================================
2931 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2935 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2937 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2938 them can restart the application with an action (via
2943 - new API for launching subprocesses
2945 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2947 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2949 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2950 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2952 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2954 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2956 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2957 actions and listing apps and actions
2959 - bash tab completion is supported
2961 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2963 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2964 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2966 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2967 DBusActivatable=true
2969 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2970 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2975 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2977 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2978 class and inotify backend
2980 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2981 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2983 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2988 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2989 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2990 when there are invalid schemas installed
2992 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2996 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2997 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2999 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3002 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3003 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3004 semantics of the interface in each case
3006 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3007 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3009 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3011 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3012 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3013 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3014 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3018 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3021 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3023 * Portability improvements
3025 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3027 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3028 actually support it (like Hurd)
3030 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3032 * Other small API changes/additions
3034 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3035 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3036 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3038 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3040 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3041 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3043 * GMainContext/GSource
3045 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3047 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3048 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3049 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3050 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3051 broken and should probably be fixed.
3053 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3054 require use of a linked list
3058 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3059 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3060 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3062 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3066 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3067 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3068 gphoto, archive, at least).
3070 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3072 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3075 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3076 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3077 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3079 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3081 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3083 * Many documentation improvements
3086 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3087 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3088 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3141 What's new in Glib 2.38
3142 ========================
3144 * Application support
3146 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3147 desktop entry specification
3149 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3150 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3151 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3153 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3154 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3155 to launch other applications
3157 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3158 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3162 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3163 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3164 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3165 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3166 any problems that this may have caused.
3168 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3169 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3170 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3171 (allowing memory savings)
3173 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3174 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3175 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3177 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3178 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3181 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3182 without destroying one of the objects involved
3186 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3187 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3188 with a finite number of cases
3190 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3191 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3193 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3194 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3195 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3196 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3199 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3203 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3204 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3205 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3207 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3209 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3210 and an API to check them
3212 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3213 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3215 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3216 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3220 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3221 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3222 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3225 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3226 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3227 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3229 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3234 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3235 allow for regexp matching on streams
3237 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3238 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3239 g_variant_new_printf()
3243 - we can now generate TAP output
3245 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3246 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3248 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3253 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3375 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
3376 ==============================================
3378 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3379 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3380 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3381 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3383 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3384 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3387 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3389 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3390 the key was locked down)
3392 * Miscellaneous new api:
3393 - g_variant_new_printf
3394 - g_action_print_detailed_name

3452 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
3453 build the unmodified source
3455 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
3457 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
3458 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
3459 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
3466 698375 - D-Bus async properties
3467 700350 - timestamp issue
3468 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
3469 700035 - new API for instance private data
3471 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
3472 ==============================================
3474 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3475 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3477 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3478 and will trigger a warning.
3481 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

3515 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
3516 ==============================================
3518 * add support for installed tests:
3519 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
3521 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
3522 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3524 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3526 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3528 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3529 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3530 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3532 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
3548 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()

3563 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3564 ==============================================
3566 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3567 and a parser API for them is now provided
3569 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3570 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3571 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3631 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3632 ==============================================
3634 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3636 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3637 the destination file
3639 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3641 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
3644 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

3647 * Translations updated:
3663 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3664 ==============================================
3666 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3667 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3668 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3669 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3723 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3724 ==============================================
3726 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3727 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3728 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3729 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3730 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3734 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3735 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3737 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3738 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3739 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3740 * documentation fixes
3741 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3744 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3758 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3759 ==============================================
3761 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3763 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3764 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3766 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3767 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3769 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3782 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3783 ==============================================
3785 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3788 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3789 ready at a specified monotonic time
3791 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3793 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3796 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3797 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3910 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3911 ==============================================
3913 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3914 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3915 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3916 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3917 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3919 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3920 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3921 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3922 particular, are incompatible.
3924 * Bugs fixed in this release:
3925 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
3926 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

3969 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3970 ==============================================
3972 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3973 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3974 causing regressions in applications.
3976 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3977 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3978 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3981 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3982 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3983 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3985 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3987 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3989 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3991 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3993 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3995 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3997 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3999 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray

4056 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4057 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4059 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4060 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

4900 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4901 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4902 to an overridden property
4903 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4904 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4906 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4907 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4951 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4952 ==============================================
4954 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4955 moved to GtkApplication.
4957 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4958 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4959 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4960 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4962 * lots of documentation improvements
4964 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4966 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4967 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4969 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4971 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4973 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4975 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4976 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4979 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4980 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4991 * Translations updated:
4995 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4996 ==============================================
4998 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4999 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5000 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5003 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5004 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5005 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5008 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5009 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5010 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5011 through an idle on the context.
5013 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5014 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5015 fixes here and there.
5017 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5018 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5019 API available outside GLib
5021 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5063 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5064 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5066 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

5085 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5086 =================================================
5088 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5089 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5091 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5092 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5093 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5094 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5095 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5096 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5097 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5098 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5099 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5100 required (and has been deprecated)
5101 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5102 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5103 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5104 without explicit initialisation.
5105 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5106 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5107 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5109 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5110 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5111 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5112 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5113 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5114 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5115 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5117 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5118 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5119 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5120 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5121 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5122 - other implementation details changed
5124 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5125 deprecated/ directory.
5127 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5128 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5129 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5131 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5132 platform over a year ago).
5134 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5135 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5137 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5138 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5140 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5141 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5142 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5143 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5146 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5147 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5150 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5152 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5153 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5155 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5156 in a multi-threaded program
5158 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5159 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5162 - drop -uninstalled variants
5163 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5165 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5166 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5167 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5169 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5171 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5172 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5175 - many code generation updates and improvements
5176 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5179 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5180 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5182 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5184 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5187 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5188 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5190 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5191 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5193 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5195 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes

5625 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5626 ==============================================
5628 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5629 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5630 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5631 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5632 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5633 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5635 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5636 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5638 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5640 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5642 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5693 * Updated translations:
5702 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5703 ==============================================
5706 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5707 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5708 an 'object manager' pattern:
5709 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5710 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5711 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5712 And server-side implementations:
5713 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5714 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5715 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5719 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5723 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5724 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5725 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5726 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5729 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5730 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5733 * Unix-specific APIs:
5734 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5735 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains

5770 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5771 ==============================================
5774 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5775 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5776 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5779 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5780 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5781 situations has been improved
5784 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5785 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5788 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5789 match strcmp() semantics
5790 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5791 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5792 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5794 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5795 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5798 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5800 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5802 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5803 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5804 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6082 ==============================================
6084 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6085 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6090 g_get_monotonic_time
6092 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6095 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6097 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

6135 - Support environment passing
6138 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6139 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6141 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6142 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6143 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6147 158725 free linked list with data

6160 * Translation updates:
6166 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6167 ==============================================
6169 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6170 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6172 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6173 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6175 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6177 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6179 g_settings_get_range
6180 g_settings_range_check
6181 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6183 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6184 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6186 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6187 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6189 g_main_context_invoke
6190 g_main_context_invoke_full
6192 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6193 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6194 looking for default applications.
6196 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6197 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6198 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6199 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6201 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6202 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6203 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6359 =====================================================
6363 - The GZip(De}Compressor can now process header information
6364 - Support for network proxies has been added, with the GProxy

6461 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6462 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6464 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6465 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6466 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6467 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6470 There have been many other improvements, however:
6473 - vastly improved test coverage
6474 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6475 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6476 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

6525 =====================================================
6527 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6528 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6529 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6530 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6531 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6532 | required (and will be along soon). |
6533 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6536 - cleanup automake setup
6537 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6538 - various docs fixups

6557 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6558 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6561 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6593 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6594 =====================================================
6596 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6597 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6598 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6599 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6600 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6603 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6604 -Bsymbolic-functions
6605 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6606 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6607 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6608 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6609 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6612 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6613 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6614 nobody was doing that.
6615 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6617 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6618 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6620 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6621 have a serial number
6622 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6624 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6626 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6627 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6628 has finished running on GDBus services.
6629 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6630 this due to the obvious race)
6631 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6632 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6635 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6636 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6637 arguments and different behaviour
6638 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6639 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6640 strings instead of utf8 strings
6641 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6642 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6643 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6644 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6645 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6646 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6647 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6648 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6649 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6652 - improved documentation
6653 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6654 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6655 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6656 overridden using <override>.
6657 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6659 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6660 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6661 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6662 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6663 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6664 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6665 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6666 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6667 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6668 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6669 being set due to a premature free
6670 - command line tool: bash completion support
6671 - chain up in _finalize
6672 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6674 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6675 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6676 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6678 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6679 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6680 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6681 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6682 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6686 - always intern GBinding prop names
6687 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6688 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6689 - GNode docs improvements
6690 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6691 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6692 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6696 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6697 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6698 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6699 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6700 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6701 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6702 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6703 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6705 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6706 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6707 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6708 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6709 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6710 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6711 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6712 610784 array test failing
6713 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6714 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
6715 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
6716 622124 implement flags

6727 623402 schema compiler reports wrong line numbers
6728 623407 g_keyfile_settings_backend_new crashes with the key "/"

8138 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

8150 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8151 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8153 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
