693 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
694 ==================================
696 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
697 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
698 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
699 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
701 This release corrects only this problem.
703 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
704 ==================================
706 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
707 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
708 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
710 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1056 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1057 ==================================
1059 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1060 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1061 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1062 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1063 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1064 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1066 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1067 have seen major improvements.
1069 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1070 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1071 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1074 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1076 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1078 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1080 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1081 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1082 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1083 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1084 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1085 you use the --strict option.
1087 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1088 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1089 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1091 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1093 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1094 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1095 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1141 ===================================
1143 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1144 before the release of 2.44.0.
1146 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1148 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1149 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1150 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1151 default in the next cycle.

1747 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1748 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2003 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2004 ====================================================
2006 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2008 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2010 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2011 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2014 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2015 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2018 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2020 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2022 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2025 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2026 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2028 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2030 * Applications/Actions
2032 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2033 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2036 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2037 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2039 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2040 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2041 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2042 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2046 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2047 accesses that are performed in common situations
2049 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2050 are installed/removed
2052 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2053 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2055 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2056 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2061 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2063 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2064 that test programs don't pick them up
2066 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2068 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2069 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2070 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2071 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2073 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2074 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2076 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2077 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2078 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2082 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2084 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2086 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2088 Translations updated:
2096 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
2097 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
2098 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
2099 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
2100 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
2101 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
2102 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
2103 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
2104 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
2105 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
2106 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2107 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2108 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
2109 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
2110 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
2111 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake

2138 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2139 ====================================================
2141 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2145 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2147 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2148 them can restart the application with an action (via
2153 - new API for launching subprocesses
2155 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2157 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2159 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2160 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2162 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2164 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2166 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2167 actions and listing apps and actions
2169 - bash tab completion is supported
2171 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2173 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2174 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2176 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2177 DBusActivatable=true
2179 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2180 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2185 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2187 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2188 class and inotify backend
2190 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2191 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2193 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2198 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2199 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2200 when there are invalid schemas installed
2202 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2206 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2207 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2209 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2212 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2213 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2214 semantics of the interface in each case
2216 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2217 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2219 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2221 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2222 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2223 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2224 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2228 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2231 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2233 * Portability improvements
2235 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2237 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2238 actually support it (like Hurd)
2240 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2242 * Other small API changes/additions
2244 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2245 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2246 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2248 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2250 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2251 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2253 * GMainContext/GSource
2255 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2257 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2258 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2259 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2260 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2261 broken and should probably be fixed.
2263 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2264 require use of a linked list
2268 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2269 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2270 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2272 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2276 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2277 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2278 gphoto, archive, at least).
2280 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2282 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2285 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2286 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2287 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2289 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2291 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2293 * Many documentation improvements
2296 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2297 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2298 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2351 What's new in Glib 2.38
2352 ========================
2354 * Application support
2356 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2357 desktop entry specification
2359 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2360 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2361 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2363 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2364 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2365 to launch other applications
2367 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2368 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2372 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2373 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2374 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2375 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2376 any problems that this may have caused.
2378 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2379 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2380 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2381 (allowing memory savings)
2383 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2384 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2385 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2387 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2388 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2391 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2392 without destroying one of the objects involved
2396 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2397 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2398 with a finite number of cases
2400 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2401 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2403 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2404 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2405 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2406 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2409 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2413 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2414 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2415 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2417 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2419 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2420 and an API to check them
2422 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2423 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2425 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2426 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2430 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2431 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2432 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2435 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2436 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2437 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2439 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2444 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2445 allow for regexp matching on streams
2447 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2448 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2449 g_variant_new_printf()
2453 - we can now generate TAP output
2455 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2456 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2458 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2463 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2588 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2589 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2590 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2591 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2684 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2685 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2687 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2688 and will trigger a warning.
2691 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

2732 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2734 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2736 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2738 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

2773 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2774 ==============================================
2776 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2777 and a parser API for them is now provided
2779 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2780 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2781 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2844 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
2846 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
2847 the destination file
2849 - fix some 'available since' annotations

2873 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2874 ==============================================
2876 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2877 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2878 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2879 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2933 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2934 ==============================================
2936 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2937 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2938 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2939 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2940 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2944 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2945 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
2947 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
2948 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
2949 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
2950 * documentation fixes
2951 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
2954 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

2968 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
2969 ==============================================
2971 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2973 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2974 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2976 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2977 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2979 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2992 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2993 ==============================================
2995 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2998 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2999 ready at a specified monotonic time
3001 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3003 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3105 * Translation updates:
3120 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3121 ==============================================
3123 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3124 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3125 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3126 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3127 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3129 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3130 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3131 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3132 particular, are incompatible.
3134 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3179 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3180 ==============================================
3182 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3183 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3184 causing regressions in applications.
3186 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3187 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3188 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3191 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3192 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3193 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3195 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3197 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3199 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3201 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3203 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3205 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3207 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3209 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3211 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3213 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3263 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3264 ==============================================
3266 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3267 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3269 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3270 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3272 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3274 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3276 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3278 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed

4106 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
4107 ==============================================
4110 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4111 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4112 to an overridden property
4113 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4114 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4116 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4117 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4161 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4162 ==============================================
4164 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4165 moved to GtkApplication.
4167 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4168 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4169 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4170 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4172 * lots of documentation improvements
4174 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4176 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4177 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4179 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4181 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4183 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4185 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4186 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4189 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4190 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4194 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4195 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4201 * Translations updated:
4205 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4206 ==============================================
4208 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4209 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4210 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4213 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4214 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4215 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4218 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4219 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4220 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4221 through an idle on the context.
4223 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4224 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4225 fixes here and there.
4227 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4228 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4229 API available outside GLib
4231 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4265 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
4266 ==============================================
4268 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4270 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4272 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4273 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4274 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4276 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4279 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4280 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4281 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4284 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4285 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
4288 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
4291 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4292 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4293 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4295 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4296 =================================================
4298 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4299 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4301 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4302 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4303 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4304 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4305 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4306 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4307 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4308 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4309 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4310 required (and has been deprecated)
4311 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4312 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4313 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4314 without explicit initialisation.
4315 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4316 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4317 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4319 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4320 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4321 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4322 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4323 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4324 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4325 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4327 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4328 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4329 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4330 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4331 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4332 - other implementation details changed
4334 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4335 deprecated/ directory.
4337 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4338 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4339 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4341 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4342 platform over a year ago).
4344 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4345 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4347 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4348 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4350 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4351 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4352 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4353 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4356 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4357 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4360 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4362 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4363 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4365 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4366 in a multi-threaded program
4368 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4369 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4372 - drop -uninstalled variants
4373 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4375 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4376 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4377 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4379 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4381 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4382 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4385 - many code generation updates and improvements
4386 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4389 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4390 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4392 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4394 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4397 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4398 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4400 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4401 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4403 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4405 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4409 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4410 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4835 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4836 ==============================================
4838 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4839 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4840 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4841 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4842 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4843 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4845 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4846 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4848 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4850 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4852 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
4854 * Introspection improvements:
4855 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder

4903 * Updated translations:
4912 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4913 ==============================================
4916 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4917 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4918 an 'object manager' pattern:
4919 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4920 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4921 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4922 And server-side implementations:
4923 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4924 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4925 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4929 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4933 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4934 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4935 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4936 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4939 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4940 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4943 * Unix-specific APIs:
4944 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4945 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4946 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4947 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4948 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4949 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4963 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
4964 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
4965 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
4966 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
4967 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
4968 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

4971 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
4973 * Updated translations
4980 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4981 ==============================================
4984 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4985 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4986 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4989 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4990 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4991 situations has been improved
4994 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4995 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4998 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4999 match strcmp() semantics
5000 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5001 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5002 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5004 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5005 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5008 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5010 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5012 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5013 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5014 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5294 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5295 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5300 g_get_monotonic_time
5302 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5305 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5307 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5309 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5310 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5311 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5313 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
5316 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
5317 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5318 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE

5344 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5345 - Support environment passing
5348 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5349 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5351 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5352 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5353 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5357 158725 free linked list with data
5358 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

5367 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5368 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5370 * Translation updates:
5376 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5377 ==============================================
5379 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5380 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5382 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5383 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5385 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5387 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5389 g_settings_get_range
5390 g_settings_range_check
5391 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5393 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5394 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5396 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5397 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5399 g_main_context_invoke
5400 g_main_context_invoke_full
5402 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5403 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5404 looking for default applications.
5406 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5407 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5408 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return

5668 =====================================================
5670 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5671 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5672 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5674 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5675 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5676 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5677 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5680 There have been many other improvements, however:
5683 - vastly improved test coverage
5684 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5685 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5686 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5734 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
5735 =====================================================
5737 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5738 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5739 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5740 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5741 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5742 | required (and will be along soon). |
5743 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5746 - cleanup automake setup
5747 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5748 - various docs fixups
5749 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5755 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
5756 - add g_settings_reset()
5757 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
5760 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

5762 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5763 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5764 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5765 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5766 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5767 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5768 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5771 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5775 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5776 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5779 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
5780 617483 Credentials passing

5803 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5804 =====================================================
5806 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5807 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5808 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5809 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5810 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5813 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5814 -Bsymbolic-functions
5815 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5816 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5817 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5818 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5819 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5822 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5823 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5824 nobody was doing that.
5825 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5827 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5828 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5830 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5831 have a serial number
5832 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5834 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5836 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5837 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5838 has finished running on GDBus services.
5839 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5840 this due to the obvious race)
5841 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5842 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5845 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5846 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5847 arguments and different behaviour
5848 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5849 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5850 strings instead of utf8 strings
5851 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5852 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5853 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5854 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5855 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5856 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5857 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5858 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5859 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5862 - improved documentation
5863 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5864 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5865 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5866 overridden using <override>.
5867 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5869 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5870 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5871 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5872 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5873 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5874 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5875 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5876 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5877 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5878 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5879 being set due to a premature free
5880 - command line tool: bash completion support
5881 - chain up in _finalize
5882 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5884 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5885 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5886 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5888 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5889 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5890 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5891 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5892 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5896 - always intern GBinding prop names
5897 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5898 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5899 - GNode docs improvements
5900 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5901 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5902 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5906 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5907 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5908 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5909 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5910 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5911 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5912 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5913 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5915 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5916 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5917 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5918 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5919 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

6606 ===================================================
6609 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6610 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6611 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6612 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6613 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6614 while loading or saving it.
6615 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6616 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6617 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6620 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6621 interfaces to dynamic types.
6624 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6625 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
6626 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
