106 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
107 ==================================
109 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
110 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
111 is unavailable or undesired.
113 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
114 glib-networking will also be required.

168 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
169 ==================================
171 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
172 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
173 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
174 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
176 This release corrects only this problem.
178 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
179 ==================================
181 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
182 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
183 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
185 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

531 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
532 ==================================
534 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
535 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
536 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
537 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
538 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
539 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
541 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
542 have seen major improvements.
544 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
545 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
546 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
549 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
551 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
553 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
555 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
556 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
557 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
558 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
559 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
560 you use the --strict option.
562 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
563 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
564 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
566 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
568 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
569 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
570 default handlers for a generic supertype.

615 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
616 ===================================
618 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
619 before the release of 2.44.0.
621 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
623 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
624 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
625 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
626 default in the next cycle.
628 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
630 * new GTask:completed property
632 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
633 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
636 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
637 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
638 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

647 Translations updated:
672 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
673 ===================================
675 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
676 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
677 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
679 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
680 effective busy state.
682 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

729 ==================================
731 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
732 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
733 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
735 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
736 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
738 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

1218 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1219 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1220 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1221 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1222 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1223 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
1225 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

1471 * Translations updates:
1478 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1479 ====================================================
1481 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1483 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1485 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1486 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1489 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1490 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1493 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1495 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1497 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1500 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1501 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1503 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1505 * Applications/Actions
1507 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1508 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1511 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1512 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1514 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1515 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1516 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1517 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1521 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1522 accesses that are performed in common situations
1524 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1525 are installed/removed
1527 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1528 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1530 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1531 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1536 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1538 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1539 that test programs don't pick them up
1541 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1543 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1544 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1545 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1546 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1548 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1549 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1551 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1552 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1553 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1557 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1559 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1561 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
1563 Translations updated:
1571 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

1574 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
1575 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
1576 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
1577 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
1578 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
1579 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
1580 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
1581 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
1582 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
1583 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

1613 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1614 ====================================================
1616 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1620 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1622 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1623 them can restart the application with an action (via
1628 - new API for launching subprocesses
1630 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1632 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1634 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1635 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1637 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1639 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1641 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1642 actions and listing apps and actions
1644 - bash tab completion is supported
1646 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1648 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1649 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1651 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1652 DBusActivatable=true
1654 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1655 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1660 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1662 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1663 class and inotify backend
1665 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1666 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1668 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1673 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
1674 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
1675 when there are invalid schemas installed
1677 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
1681 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
1682 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
1684 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
1687 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
1688 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
1689 semantics of the interface in each case
1691 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
1692 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
1694 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
1696 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
1697 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
1698 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
1699 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1703 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1706 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1708 * Portability improvements
1710 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1712 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1713 actually support it (like Hurd)
1715 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1717 * Other small API changes/additions
1719 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1720 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1721 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1723 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1725 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1726 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1728 * GMainContext/GSource
1730 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1732 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1733 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1734 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1735 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1736 broken and should probably be fixed.
1738 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1739 require use of a linked list
1743 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1744 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1745 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1747 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1751 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1752 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1753 gphoto, archive, at least).
1755 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1757 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1760 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1761 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1762 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1764 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1766 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1768 * Many documentation improvements
1771 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
1772 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
1773 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects
1774 672102 GSubprocess class

1826 What's new in Glib 2.38
1827 ========================
1829 * Application support
1831 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1832 desktop entry specification
1834 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1835 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1836 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1838 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1839 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1840 to launch other applications
1842 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1843 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1847 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1848 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1849 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1850 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1851 any problems that this may have caused.
1853 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1854 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1855 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1856 (allowing memory savings)
1858 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1859 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1860 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1862 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1863 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1866 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1867 without destroying one of the objects involved
1871 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1872 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1873 with a finite number of cases
1875 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1876 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1878 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1879 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1880 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1881 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1884 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1888 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1889 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1890 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1892 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1894 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1895 and an API to check them
1897 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1898 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1900 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1901 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1905 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1906 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1907 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1910 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1911 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1912 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1914 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1919 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1920 allow for regexp matching on streams
1922 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1923 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1924 g_variant_new_printf()
1928 - we can now generate TAP output
1930 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1931 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1933 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1938 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2064 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2065 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2066 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2249 ==============================================
2251 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2252 and a parser API for them is now provided
2254 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2255 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2256 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2408 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2409 ==============================================
2411 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2412 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2413 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2414 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2415 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2419 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2420 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
2422 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
2423 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
2424 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
2425 * documentation fixes

2580 * Translation updates:
2595 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2596 ==============================================
2598 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2599 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2600 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2601 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2602 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2604 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2605 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2606 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2607 particular, are incompatible.
2609 * Bugs fixed in this release:

2643 * Translation updates:
2654 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2655 ==============================================
2657 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2658 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2659 causing regressions in applications.
2661 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2662 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2663 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2666 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2667 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2668 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2670 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2672 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
2674 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
2676 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
2678 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
2680 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
2682 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
2684 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
2686 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
2688 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2739 ==============================================
2741 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
2742 give feedback if they cause trouble:
2744 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
2745 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2747 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
2749 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

3585 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3586 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3587 to an overridden property
3588 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3589 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3591 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

3639 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3640 moved to GtkApplication.
3642 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3643 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3644 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3645 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3647 * lots of documentation improvements
3649 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes

3676 * Translations updated:
3680 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
3681 ==============================================
3683 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
3684 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
3685 There have also been many related improvements to action group
3688 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
3689 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
3690 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
3693 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
3694 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
3695 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
3696 through an idle on the context.
3698 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
3699 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3700 fixes here and there.
3702 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3703 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3704 API available outside GLib
3706 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

3741 ==============================================
3743 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
3745 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
3747 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
3748 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
3749 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
3751 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
3754 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
3755 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
3756 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
3759 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
3760 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
3763 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
3766 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
3767 - various GIO file and stream fixes
3768 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
3770 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3771 =================================================
3773 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3774 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3776 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3777 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3778 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3779 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3780 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3781 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3782 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3783 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3784 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3785 required (and has been deprecated)
3786 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3787 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3788 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3789 without explicit initialisation.
3790 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3791 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3792 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3794 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3795 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3796 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3797 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3798 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3799 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3800 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3802 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3803 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3804 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3805 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3806 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3807 - other implementation details changed
3809 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3810 deprecated/ directory.
3812 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3813 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3814 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3816 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3817 platform over a year ago).
3819 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3820 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3822 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3823 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3825 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3826 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3827 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3828 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3831 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3832 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3835 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3837 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3838 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3840 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3841 in a multi-threaded program
3843 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3844 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3847 - drop -uninstalled variants
3848 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3850 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3851 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3852 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3854 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3856 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3857 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3860 - many code generation updates and improvements
3861 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3864 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3865 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3867 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3869 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3872 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3873 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3875 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3876 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3878 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3880 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3884 * Partial list of bugs closed:
3885 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4310 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4311 ==============================================
4313 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4314 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4315 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4316 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4317 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4318 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4320 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4321 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4323 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4325 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4327 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

4378 * Updated translations:
4387 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4388 ==============================================
4391 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4392 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4393 an 'object manager' pattern:
4394 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4395 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4396 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4397 And server-side implementations:
4398 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4399 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4400 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4404 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4408 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4409 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4410 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4411 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4414 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4415 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4418 * Unix-specific APIs:
4419 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4420 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4421 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4422 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4423 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4424 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4448 * Updated translations
4455 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4456 ==============================================
4459 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4460 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4461 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4464 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4465 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4466 situations has been improved
4469 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4470 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4473 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4474 match strcmp() semantics
4475 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4476 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4477 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4479 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4480 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4483 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4485 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4487 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4488 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4489 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4807 * Translation updates:
4815 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
4816 ==============================================
4819 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
4820 - Support environment passing
4823 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4824 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4826 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4827 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4828 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
4832 158725 free linked list with data
4833 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
4834 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
4835 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
4836 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
4837 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
4838 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
4839 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option
4840 633115 GSettings m4 doesn't fail the build for broken schemas
4841 633206 Default g_application_local_command_line() doesn't set exit_status...
4842 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
4843 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
4845 * Translation updates:
4851 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4852 ==============================================
4854 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4855 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4857 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4858 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4860 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4862 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4864 g_settings_get_range
4865 g_settings_range_check
4866 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4868 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4869 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4871 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4872 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4874 g_main_context_invoke
4875 g_main_context_invoke_full
4877 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4878 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4879 looking for default applications.
4881 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4882 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4883 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4884 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4886 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4887 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4888 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5145 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5146 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5147 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5149 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5150 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5151 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5152 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5155 There have been many other improvements, however:
5158 - vastly improved test coverage
5159 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5160 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5161 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5210 =====================================================
5212 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5213 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5214 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5215 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5216 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5217 | required (and will be along soon). |
5218 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5221 - cleanup automake setup
5222 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5223 - various docs fixups
5224 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5230 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5231 - add g_settings_reset()
5232 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5235 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

5237 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5238 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5239 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5240 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5241 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5242 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5243 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5246 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5250 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5251 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5254 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
5255 617483 Credentials passing

5279 =====================================================
5281 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5282 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5283 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5284 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5285 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5288 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5289 -Bsymbolic-functions
5290 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5291 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5292 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5293 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5294 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5297 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5298 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5299 nobody was doing that.
5300 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5302 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5303 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5305 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5306 have a serial number
5307 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5309 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5311 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5312 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5313 has finished running on GDBus services.
5314 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5315 this due to the obvious race)
5316 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5317 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5320 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5321 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5322 arguments and different behaviour
5323 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5324 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5325 strings instead of utf8 strings
5326 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5327 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5328 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5329 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5330 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5331 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5332 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5333 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5334 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5337 - improved documentation
5338 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5339 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5340 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5341 overridden using <override>.
5342 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5344 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5345 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5346 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5347 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5348 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5349 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5350 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5351 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5352 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5353 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5354 being set due to a premature free
5355 - command line tool: bash completion support
5356 - chain up in _finalize
5357 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5359 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5360 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5361 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5363 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5364 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5365 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5366 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5367 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5371 - always intern GBinding prop names
5372 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5373 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5374 - GNode docs improvements
5375 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5376 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5377 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5381 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5382 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5383 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5384 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5385 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5386 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5387 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5388 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5390 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5391 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5392 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5393 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5394 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5395 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5396 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
5397 610784 array test failing
5398 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5399 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

6080 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
6081 ===================================================
6084 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6085 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6086 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6087 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6088 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6089 while loading or saving it.
6090 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6091 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6092 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6095 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6096 interfaces to dynamic types.
6099 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6100 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
6101 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

6819 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
6820 ===================================================
6822 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
6823 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
6824 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
6825 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
6826 also uses less memory overall.
6828 * Make g_poll available as public api
6830 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
6831 that a GError is set or unset
6833 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6835 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6836 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6838 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
6839 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

8477 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
8478 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
8479 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
8480 efficient and scalable implementation.
8481 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
8484 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
8485 unnecessary recursion.

8490 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
8494 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
8497 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
8498 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
8499 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
8503 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
8504 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
8505 since they are in glib.h
