80 * Translation updates:
87 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
88 ==================================
90 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
91 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
92 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
93 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
94 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
95 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
97 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
98 have seen major improvements.
100 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
101 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
102 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
105 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
107 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
109 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
111 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
112 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
113 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
114 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
115 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
116 you use the --strict option.
118 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
119 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
120 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
122 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
124 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
125 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
126 default handlers for a generic supertype.

171 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
172 ===================================
174 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
175 before the release of 2.44.0.
177 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
179 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
180 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
181 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
182 default in the next cycle.
184 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
186 * new GTask:completed property
188 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
189 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

203 Translations updated:
228 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
229 ===================================
231 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
232 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
233 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
235 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
236 effective busy state.
238 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.
241 661554 GIO's use of GError is wrong
242 744263 Fix format specifier for __LINE__ in G_OBJECT_WARN_INVALID_PSPEC

261 GInputStream and GOutputStream
263 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
264 of a boolean property on another object

276 Translations updated:
284 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.4
285 ==================================
287 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
288 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
289 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
291 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
292 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
294 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

663 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
664 and NULL pointer dereferences.

1034 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1035 ====================================================
1037 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1039 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1041 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1042 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1045 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1046 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1049 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1051 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1053 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1056 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1057 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1059 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1061 * Applications/Actions
1063 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1064 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1067 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1068 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1070 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1071 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1072 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1073 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1077 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1078 accesses that are performed in common situations
1080 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1081 are installed/removed
1083 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1084 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1086 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1087 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1092 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1094 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1095 that test programs don't pick them up
1097 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1099 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1100 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1101 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1102 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1104 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1105 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1107 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1108 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1109 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1113 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1115 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1117 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

1169 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1170 ====================================================
1172 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1176 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1178 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1179 them can restart the application with an action (via
1184 - new API for launching subprocesses
1186 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1188 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1190 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1191 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1193 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1195 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1197 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1198 actions and listing apps and actions
1200 - bash tab completion is supported
1202 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1204 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1205 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1207 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1208 DBusActivatable=true
1210 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1211 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1216 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1218 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1219 class and inotify backend
1221 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1222 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1224 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1229 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
1230 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
1231 when there are invalid schemas installed
1233 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
1237 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
1238 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
1240 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
1243 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
1244 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
1245 semantics of the interface in each case
1247 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
1248 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
1250 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
1252 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
1253 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
1254 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
1255 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1259 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1262 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1264 * Portability improvements
1266 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1268 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1269 actually support it (like Hurd)
1271 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1273 * Other small API changes/additions
1275 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1276 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1277 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1279 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1281 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1282 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1284 * GMainContext/GSource
1286 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1288 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1289 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1290 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1291 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1292 broken and should probably be fixed.
1294 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1295 require use of a linked list
1299 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1300 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1301 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1303 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1307 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1308 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1309 gphoto, archive, at least).
1311 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1313 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1316 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1317 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1318 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1320 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1322 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1324 * Many documentation improvements
1327 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
1328 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
1329 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

1341 706254 Afp backend cannot copy files
1342 707887 Attempting to create GObject Property with underscore prefix segfaults
1343 708042 gapplication: don't rely on cmdline being finalized immediately

1345 708266 fix error code checks when SOCK_CLOEXEC is defined but not supported
1346 708529 xdgmime: valgrind warns about invalid reads
1347 708677 incorrect object path 'deskop' used in gio/gdbusobjectmanagerclient.c

1376 Brazilian Portuguese
1382 What's new in Glib 2.38
1383 ========================
1385 * Application support
1387 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1388 desktop entry specification
1390 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1391 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1392 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1394 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1395 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1396 to launch other applications
1398 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1399 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1403 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1404 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1405 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1406 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1407 any problems that this may have caused.
1409 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1410 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1411 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1412 (allowing memory savings)
1414 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1415 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1416 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1418 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1419 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1422 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1423 without destroying one of the objects involved
1427 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1428 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1429 with a finite number of cases
1431 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1432 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1434 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1435 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1436 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1437 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1440 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1444 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1445 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1446 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1448 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1450 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1451 and an API to check them
1453 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1454 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1456 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1457 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1461 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1462 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1463 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1466 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1467 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1468 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1470 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1475 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1476 allow for regexp matching on streams
1478 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1479 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1480 g_variant_new_printf()
1484 - we can now generate TAP output
1486 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1487 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1489 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1494 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1616 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
1617 ==============================================
1619 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1620 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1621 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1622 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
1624 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
1625 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
1628 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
1630 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
1631 the key was locked down)

1872 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1873 ==============================================
1875 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1877 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1878 the destination file
1880 - fix some 'available since' annotations
1882 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

1904 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1905 ==============================================
1907 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1908 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1909 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1910 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1964 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1965 ==============================================
1967 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1968 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1969 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1970 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1971 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1975 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1976 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1978 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1979 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1980 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

2000 ==============================================
2002 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2004 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2005 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2007 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2008 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2010 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2023 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2024 ==============================================
2026 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2029 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2030 ready at a specified monotonic time
2032 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
2034 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

2136 * Translation updates:
2151 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2152 ==============================================
2154 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2155 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2156 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2157 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2158 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2160 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2161 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2162 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2163 particular, are incompatible.
2165 * Bugs fixed in this release:

2199 * Translation updates:
2210 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2211 ==============================================
2213 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2214 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2215 causing regressions in applications.
2217 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2218 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2219 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2222 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2223 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2224 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2226 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2228 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
2230 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
2232 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
2234 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
2236 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
2238 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
2240 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
2242 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
2244 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2295 ==============================================
2297 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
2298 give feedback if they cause trouble:
2300 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
2301 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2303 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
2305 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
2307 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
2309 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
2311 * GLib version macros updated
2313 * Update to Unicode 6.2

3138 ==============================================
3141 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3142 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3143 to an overridden property
3144 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3145 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3147 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
3148 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
3150 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

3192 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
3193 ==============================================
3195 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3196 moved to GtkApplication.
3198 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3199 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3200 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3201 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3203 * lots of documentation improvements
3205 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3207 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3208 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3210 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3212 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3214 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3216 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3217 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
3220 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
3221 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

3225 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
3226 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

3229 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
3230 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
3232 * Translations updated:
3236 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
3237 ==============================================
3239 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
3240 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
3241 There have also been many related improvements to action group
3244 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
3245 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
3246 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
3249 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
3250 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
3251 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
3252 through an idle on the context.
3254 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
3255 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3256 fixes here and there.
3258 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3259 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3260 API available outside GLib
3262 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

3303 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
3304 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
3305 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
3307 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
3310 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
3311 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
3312 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality

3323 - various GIO file and stream fixes
3324 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
3326 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3327 =================================================
3329 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3330 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3332 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3333 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3334 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3335 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3336 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3337 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3338 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3339 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3340 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3341 required (and has been deprecated)
3342 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3343 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3344 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3345 without explicit initialisation.
3346 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3347 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3348 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3350 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3351 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3352 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3353 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3354 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3355 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3356 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3358 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3359 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3360 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3361 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3362 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3363 - other implementation details changed
3365 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3366 deprecated/ directory.
3368 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3369 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3370 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3372 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3373 platform over a year ago).
3375 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3376 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3378 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3379 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3381 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3382 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3383 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3384 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3387 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3388 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3391 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3393 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3394 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3396 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3397 in a multi-threaded program
3399 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3400 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3403 - drop -uninstalled variants
3404 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3406 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3407 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3408 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3410 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3412 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3413 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3416 - many code generation updates and improvements
3417 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3420 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3421 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3423 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3425 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3428 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3429 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3431 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3432 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3434 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3436 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3440 * Partial list of bugs closed:
3441 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3867 ==============================================
3869 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3870 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3871 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3872 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3873 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3874 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3876 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3877 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3879 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3881 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
3883 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

3934 * Updated translations:
3943 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3944 ==============================================
3947 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3948 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3949 an 'object manager' pattern:
3950 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3951 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3952 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3953 And server-side implementations:
3954 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3955 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3956 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3960 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3964 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3965 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3966 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3967 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3970 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3971 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3974 * Unix-specific APIs:
3975 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3976 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3977 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3978 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3979 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3980 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4004 * Updated translations
4011 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4012 ==============================================
4015 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4016 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4017 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4020 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4021 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4022 situations has been improved
4025 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4026 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4029 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4030 match strcmp() semantics
4031 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4032 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4033 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4035 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4036 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4039 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4041 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4043 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4044 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4045 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4376 - Support environment passing
4379 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4380 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4382 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4383 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4384 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
4388 158725 free linked list with data

4401 * Translation updates:
4407 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4408 ==============================================
4410 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4411 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4413 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4414 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4416 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4418 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4420 g_settings_get_range
4421 g_settings_range_check
4422 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4424 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4425 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4427 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4428 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4430 g_main_context_invoke
4431 g_main_context_invoke_full
4433 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4434 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4435 looking for default applications.
4437 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4438 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4439 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4440 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4442 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4443 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4444 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4703 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4705 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4706 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4707 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4708 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4711 There have been many other improvements, however:
4714 - vastly improved test coverage
4715 - old tests moved to the gtester framework

4838 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4839 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4840 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4841 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4844 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4845 -Bsymbolic-functions
4846 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4847 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4848 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4849 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4850 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4853 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4854 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4855 nobody was doing that.
4856 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4858 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4859 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4861 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4862 have a serial number
4863 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4865 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4867 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4868 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4869 has finished running on GDBus services.
4870 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4871 this due to the obvious race)
4872 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4873 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4876 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4877 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4878 arguments and different behaviour
4879 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4880 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4881 strings instead of utf8 strings
4882 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4883 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4884 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4885 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4886 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4887 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4888 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4889 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4890 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4893 - improved documentation
4894 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4895 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4896 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4897 overridden using <override>.
4898 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4900 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4901 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4902 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4903 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4904 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4905 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4906 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4907 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4908 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4909 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4910 being set due to a premature free
4911 - command line tool: bash completion support
4912 - chain up in _finalize
4913 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4915 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4916 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4917 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4919 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4920 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4921 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4922 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4923 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4927 - always intern GBinding prop names
4928 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4929 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4930 - GNode docs improvements
4931 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4932 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4933 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4937 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4938 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4939 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4940 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4941 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4942 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4943 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4944 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4946 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4947 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4948 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4949 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4950 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4951 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4952 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

5437 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
5438 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
5439 - The parser will be in a future release.
5442 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)

5637 ===================================================
5640 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
5641 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
5642 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
5643 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
5644 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
5645 while loading or saving it.
5646 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
5647 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5648 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5651 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5652 interfaces to dynamic types.
5655 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
5656 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

6376 ===================================================
6378 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
6379 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
6380 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

6382 also uses less memory overall.

6387 that a GError is set or unset
6389 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6391 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6392 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6394 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
6395 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

8009 =================================================
8011 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
8012 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
8013 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
8015 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
8016 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
8019 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
8020 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
8021 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
8023 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
8025 * Memory management:
8026 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
8027 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
8028 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
8029 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
8030 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
8031 never worked as intended.
8032 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
8033 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
8034 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
8035 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
8036 efficient and scalable implementation.
8037 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
8040 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
8041 unnecessary recursion.

8046 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
8050 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
8053 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
8054 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
8055 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
8059 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
8060 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
8061 since they are in glib.h
