184 for writing to the systemd journal. It also supports colored output
187 * Some new GBytes API has been added:
188 - g_key_file_load_from_bytes
189 - g_compute_hmac_for_bytes
191 * Stack-allocated GVariantBuilder and GVariantDict objects can now be
192 initialized with G_VARIANT_BUILDER_INIT and G_VARIANT_DICT_INIT

272 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
273 ==================================
275 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
276 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
277 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
278 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
280 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
281 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
282 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
284 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
285 environment variable.
287 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
288 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

433 * Translation updates:
445 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
446 ==================================
448 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
449 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
450 is unavailable or undesired.
452 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
453 glib-networking will also be required.

507 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
508 ==================================
510 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
511 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
512 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
513 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
515 This release corrects only this problem.
517 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
518 ==================================
520 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
521 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
522 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
524 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

863 * Translation updates:
870 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
871 ==================================
873 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
874 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
875 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
876 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
877 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
878 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
880 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
881 have seen major improvements.
883 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
884 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
885 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
888 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
890 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
892 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
894 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
895 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
896 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
897 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
898 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
899 you use the --strict option.
901 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
902 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
903 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
905 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
907 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
908 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
909 default handlers for a generic supertype.

955 ===================================
957 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
958 before the release of 2.44.0.
960 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
962 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
963 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
964 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
965 default in the next cycle.
967 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
969 * new GTask:completed property
971 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
972 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1012 ===================================
1014 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro

1016 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1018 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1019 effective busy state.

1068 ==================================
1070 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
1071 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
1072 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1074 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1075 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

1561 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1562 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1810 * Translations updates:
1817 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1818 ====================================================
1820 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1822 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1824 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1825 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1828 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1829 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1832 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1834 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1836 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1839 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1840 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1842 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1844 * Applications/Actions
1846 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1847 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1850 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1851 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1853 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1854 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1855 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1856 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1860 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1861 accesses that are performed in common situations
1863 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1864 are installed/removed
1866 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1867 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1869 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1870 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1875 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1877 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1878 that test programs don't pick them up
1880 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1882 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1883 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1884 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1885 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1887 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1888 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1890 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1891 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1892 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1896 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1898 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1900 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
1902 Translations updated:
1910 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

1913 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
1914 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
1915 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
1916 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
1917 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
1918 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
1919 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
1920 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
1921 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
1922 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
1923 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
1924 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
1925 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake

1952 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1953 ====================================================
1955 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1959 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1961 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1962 them can restart the application with an action (via
1967 - new API for launching subprocesses
1969 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1971 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1973 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1974 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1976 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1978 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1980 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1981 actions and listing apps and actions
1983 - bash tab completion is supported
1985 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1987 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1988 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1990 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1991 DBusActivatable=true
1993 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1994 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1999 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2001 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2002 class and inotify backend
2004 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2005 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2007 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2012 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2013 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2014 when there are invalid schemas installed
2016 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2020 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2021 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2023 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2026 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2027 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2028 semantics of the interface in each case
2030 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2031 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2033 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2035 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2036 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2037 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2038 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2042 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2045 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2047 * Portability improvements
2049 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2051 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2052 actually support it (like Hurd)
2054 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2056 * Other small API changes/additions
2058 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2059 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2060 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2062 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2064 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2065 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2067 * GMainContext/GSource
2069 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2071 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2072 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2073 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2074 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2075 broken and should probably be fixed.
2077 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2078 require use of a linked list
2082 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2083 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2084 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2086 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2090 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2091 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2092 gphoto, archive, at least).
2094 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2096 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2099 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2100 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2101 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2103 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2105 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2107 * Many documentation improvements
2110 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2111 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2112 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2165 What's new in Glib 2.38
2166 ========================
2168 * Application support
2170 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2171 desktop entry specification
2173 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2174 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2175 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2177 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2178 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2179 to launch other applications
2181 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2182 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2186 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2187 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2188 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2189 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2190 any problems that this may have caused.
2192 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2193 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2194 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2195 (allowing memory savings)
2197 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2198 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2199 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2201 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2202 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2205 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2206 without destroying one of the objects involved
2210 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2211 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2212 with a finite number of cases
2214 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2215 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2217 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2218 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2219 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2220 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2223 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2227 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2228 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2229 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2231 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2233 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2234 and an API to check them
2236 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2237 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2239 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2240 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2244 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2245 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2246 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2249 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2250 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2251 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2253 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2258 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2259 allow for regexp matching on streams
2261 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2262 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2263 g_variant_new_printf()
2267 - we can now generate TAP output
2269 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2270 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2272 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2277 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2399 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2400 ==============================================
2402 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2403 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2404 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2405 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2407 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2408 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2411 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2413 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2414 the key was locked down)

2472 ==============================================
2474 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
2476 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
2477 build the unmodified source
2479 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
2481 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
2482 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
2483 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
2490 698375 - D-Bus async properties

2496 ==============================================
2498 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2499 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2501 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2502 and will trigger a warning.

2540 ==============================================
2542 * add support for installed tests:
2543 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
2545 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
2546 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2548 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2550 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2552 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
2553 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
2554 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
2556 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
2572 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()

2588 ==============================================
2590 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2591 and a parser API for them is now provided
2593 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2594 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2595 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2655 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
2656 ==============================================
2658 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
2660 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
2661 the destination file
2663 - fix some 'available since' annotations
2665 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

2687 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2688 ==============================================
2690 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2691 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2692 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2693 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2747 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2748 ==============================================
2750 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2751 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2752 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2753 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2754 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2758 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2759 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
2761 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

2765 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
2768 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

2782 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
2783 ==============================================
2785 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2787 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2788 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2790 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2791 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2793 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2806 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2807 ==============================================
2809 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2812 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2813 ready at a specified monotonic time
2815 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
2817 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

2919 * Translation updates:
2934 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2935 ==============================================
2937 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2938 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2939 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2940 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2941 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2943 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2944 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2945 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2946 particular, are incompatible.
2948 * Bugs fixed in this release:
2949 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

2993 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2994 ==============================================
2996 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2997 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2998 causing regressions in applications.
3000 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3001 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3002 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3005 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3006 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3007 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.

3924 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3925 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3926 to an overridden property
3927 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3928 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3930 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

3976 ==============================================
3978 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3979 moved to GtkApplication.
3981 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3982 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3983 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3984 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3986 * lots of documentation improvements
3988 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3990 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3991 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3993 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3995 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3997 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3999 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4000 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4003 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4004 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4015 * Translations updated:
4019 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4020 ==============================================
4022 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4023 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4024 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4027 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4028 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4029 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4032 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4033 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4034 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4035 through an idle on the context.
4037 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4038 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4039 fixes here and there.
4041 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4042 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4043 API available outside GLib
4045 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4087 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4088 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4090 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4093 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4094 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4109 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4110 =================================================
4112 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4113 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4115 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4116 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4117 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4118 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4119 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4120 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4121 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4122 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4123 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4124 required (and has been deprecated)
4125 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4126 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4127 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4128 without explicit initialisation.
4129 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4130 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4131 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4133 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4134 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4135 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4136 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4137 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4138 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4139 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4141 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4142 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4143 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4144 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4145 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4146 - other implementation details changed
4148 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4149 deprecated/ directory.
4151 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4152 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4153 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4155 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4156 platform over a year ago).
4158 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4159 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4161 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4162 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4164 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4165 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4166 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4167 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4170 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4171 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4174 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4176 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4177 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4179 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4180 in a multi-threaded program
4182 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4183 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4186 - drop -uninstalled variants
4187 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4189 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4190 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4191 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4193 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4195 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4196 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4199 - many code generation updates and improvements
4200 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4203 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4204 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4206 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4208 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4211 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4212 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4214 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4215 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4217 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4219 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4223 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4224 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4236 640975 Check that error exists before trying to set it

4650 ==============================================
4652 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4653 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4654 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4655 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4656 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4657 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4659 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4660 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4662 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4664 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

4717 * Updated translations:
4726 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4727 ==============================================
4730 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4731 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4732 an 'object manager' pattern:
4733 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4734 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4735 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4736 And server-side implementations:
4737 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4738 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4739 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4743 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4747 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4748 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4749 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4750 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4753 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4754 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4757 * Unix-specific APIs:
4758 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4759 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4760 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4761 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4762 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4763 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4794 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4795 ==============================================
4798 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4799 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4800 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4803 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4804 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4805 situations has been improved
4808 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4809 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4812 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4813 match strcmp() semantics
4814 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4815 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4816 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4818 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4819 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4822 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4824 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4826 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4827 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4828 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5106 ==============================================
5108 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5109 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5114 g_get_monotonic_time
5116 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5119 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5121 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5123 g_simple_async_result_take_error

5158 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5159 - Support environment passing
5162 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5163 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5165 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5166 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5167 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5171 158725 free linked list with data

5184 * Translation updates:
5190 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5191 ==============================================
5193 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5194 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5196 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5197 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5199 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5201 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5203 g_settings_get_range
5204 g_settings_range_check
5205 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5207 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5208 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5210 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5211 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5213 g_main_context_invoke
5214 g_main_context_invoke_full
5216 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5217 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5218 looking for default applications.
5220 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5221 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5222 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5223 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5225 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5226 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5227 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5485 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5486 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5488 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5489 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5490 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5491 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5494 There have been many other improvements, however:
5497 - vastly improved test coverage
5498 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5499 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5500 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5549 =====================================================
5551 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5552 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5553 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5554 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5555 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5556 | required (and will be along soon). |
5557 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5560 - cleanup automake setup
5561 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5562 - various docs fixups

5581 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5582 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5585 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5617 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5618 =====================================================
5620 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5621 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5622 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5623 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5624 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5627 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5628 -Bsymbolic-functions
5629 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5630 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5631 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5632 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5633 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5636 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5637 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5638 nobody was doing that.
5639 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5641 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5642 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5644 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5645 have a serial number
5646 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5648 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5650 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5651 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5652 has finished running on GDBus services.
5653 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5654 this due to the obvious race)
5655 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5656 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5659 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5660 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5661 arguments and different behaviour
5662 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5663 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5664 strings instead of utf8 strings
5665 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5666 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5667 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5668 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5669 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5670 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5671 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5672 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5673 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5676 - improved documentation
5677 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5678 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5679 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5680 overridden using <override>.
5681 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5683 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5684 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5685 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5686 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5687 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5688 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5689 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5690 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5691 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5692 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5693 being set due to a premature free
5694 - command line tool: bash completion support
5695 - chain up in _finalize
5696 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5698 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5699 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5700 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5702 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5703 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5704 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5705 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5706 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5710 - always intern GBinding prop names
5711 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5712 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5713 - GNode docs improvements
5714 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5715 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5716 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5720 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5721 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5722 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5723 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5724 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5725 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5726 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5727 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5729 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5730 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5731 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5732 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5733 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5734 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5735 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
5736 610784 array test failing
5737 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5738 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

6430 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6431 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6434 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6435 interfaces to dynamic types.

7170 that a GError is set or unset
7172 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7174 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7175 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7177 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
