964 ==================================
966 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
967 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
968 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
969 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

972 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
973 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
975 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
976 environment variable.

979 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1140 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
1141 is unavailable or undesired.
1143 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
1144 glib-networking will also be required.
1146 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the

1198 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1199 ==================================
1201 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1202 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1203 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1204 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1206 This release corrects only this problem.
1208 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1209 ==================================
1211 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1212 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1213 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1215 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1561 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1562 ==================================
1564 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1565 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1566 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1567 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1568 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1569 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1571 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1572 have seen major improvements.
1574 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1575 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1576 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1579 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1581 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1583 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1585 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1586 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1587 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1588 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1589 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1590 you use the --strict option.
1592 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1593 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1594 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1596 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1598 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1599 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1600 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1682 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1683 ===================================
1685 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1686 before the release of 2.44.0.
1688 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1690 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now

1692 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1693 default in the next cycle.
1695 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1740 ===================================
1742 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1743 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1744 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1746 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1747 effective busy state.

2254 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
2255 =====================================================
2257 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
2259 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
2263 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
2264 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

2270 726046 Recent commit created symbolic icons issues
2282 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
2283 =====================================================
2285 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
2286 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
2287 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
2288 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2289 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2290 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
2292 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

2545 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2546 ====================================================
2548 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2550 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2552 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2553 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2556 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2557 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2560 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2562 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2564 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2567 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2568 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2570 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2572 * Applications/Actions
2574 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2575 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2578 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2579 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2581 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2582 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2583 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2584 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2588 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2589 accesses that are performed in common situations
2591 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2592 are installed/removed
2594 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2595 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2597 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2598 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2603 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2605 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2606 that test programs don't pick them up
2608 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2610 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2611 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2612 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2613 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2615 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2616 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2618 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2619 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2620 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2624 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2626 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2628 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2630 Translations updated:

2680 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2681 ====================================================
2683 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2687 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2689 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2690 them can restart the application with an action (via
2695 - new API for launching subprocesses
2697 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2699 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2701 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2702 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2704 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2706 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2708 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2709 actions and listing apps and actions
2711 - bash tab completion is supported
2713 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2715 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2716 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2718 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2719 DBusActivatable=true
2721 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2722 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2727 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2729 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2730 class and inotify backend
2732 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2733 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2735 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2740 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2741 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2742 when there are invalid schemas installed
2744 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2748 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2749 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2751 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2754 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2755 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2756 semantics of the interface in each case
2758 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2759 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2761 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2763 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2764 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2765 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2766 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2770 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2773 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2775 * Portability improvements
2777 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2779 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2780 actually support it (like Hurd)
2782 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2784 * Other small API changes/additions
2786 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2787 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2788 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2790 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2792 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2793 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2795 * GMainContext/GSource
2797 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2799 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2800 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2801 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2802 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2803 broken and should probably be fixed.
2805 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2806 require use of a linked list
2810 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2811 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2812 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2814 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2818 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2819 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2820 gphoto, archive, at least).
2822 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2824 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2827 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2828 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2829 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2831 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2833 - many other small fixups (see bug list)

2893 What's new in Glib 2.38
2894 ========================
2896 * Application support
2898 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2899 desktop entry specification
2901 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2902 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2903 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2905 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2906 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2907 to launch other applications
2909 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2910 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2914 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2915 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2916 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2917 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2918 any problems that this may have caused.
2920 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2921 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2922 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2923 (allowing memory savings)
2925 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2926 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2927 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2929 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2930 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2933 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2934 without destroying one of the objects involved
2938 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2939 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2940 with a finite number of cases
2942 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2943 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2945 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2946 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2947 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2948 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2951 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2955 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2956 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2957 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2959 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2961 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2962 and an API to check them
2964 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2965 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2967 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2968 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2972 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2973 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2974 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2977 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2978 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2979 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2981 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2986 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2987 allow for regexp matching on streams
2989 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2990 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2991 g_variant_new_printf()
2995 - we can now generate TAP output
2997 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2998 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3000 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3005 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3132 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3133 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

3316 ==============================================
3318 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3319 and a parser API for them is now provided
3321 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3322 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3323 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3475 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3476 ==============================================
3478 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3479 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3480 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3481 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3482 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3486 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3487 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3489 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3490 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3491 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3492 * documentation fixes
3493 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3496 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
3497 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h

3510 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3511 ==============================================
3513 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3515 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3516 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3518 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3519 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3521 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3534 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3535 ==============================================
3537 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3540 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3541 ready at a specified monotonic time
3543 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3545 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3548 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3549 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3647 * Translation updates:
3662 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3663 ==============================================
3665 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3666 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3667 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3668 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3669 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3671 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3672 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3673 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3674 particular, are incompatible.
3676 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3710 * Translation updates:
3721 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3722 ==============================================
3724 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3725 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3726 causing regressions in applications.
3728 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3729 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3730 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3733 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3734 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3735 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3737 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3739 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3741 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3743 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3745 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3747 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3749 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3751 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3753 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3755 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3808 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3809 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3811 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3812 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3814 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set

4703 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4704 ==============================================
4706 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4707 moved to GtkApplication.
4709 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4710 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4711 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4712 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4714 * lots of documentation improvements
4716 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4718 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4719 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4721 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4723 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4725 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4727 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4728 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4731 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4732 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4733 664699 glib: documentation fixes
4734 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
4735 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
4736 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4737 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4738 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4739 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4740 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4741 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4743 * Translations updated:
4747 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4748 ==============================================
4750 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4751 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4752 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4755 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4756 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4757 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4760 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4761 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4762 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4763 through an idle on the context.
4765 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4766 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4767 fixes here and there.
4769 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4770 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4771 API available outside GLib
4773 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4808 ==============================================
4810 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4812 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4814 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4815 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4816 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4818 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4821 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4822 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4823 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4826 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4827 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

4833 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4834 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4835 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4837 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4838 =================================================
4840 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4841 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4843 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4844 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4845 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4846 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4847 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4848 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4849 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4850 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4851 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4852 required (and has been deprecated)
4853 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4854 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4855 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4856 without explicit initialisation.
4857 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4858 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4859 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4861 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4862 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4863 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4864 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4865 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4866 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4867 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4869 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4870 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4871 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4872 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4873 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4874 - other implementation details changed
4876 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4877 deprecated/ directory.
4879 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4880 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4881 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4883 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4884 platform over a year ago).
4886 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4887 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4889 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4890 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4892 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4893 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4894 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4895 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4898 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4899 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4902 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4904 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4905 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4907 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4908 in a multi-threaded program
4910 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4911 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4914 - drop -uninstalled variants
4915 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4917 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4918 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4919 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4921 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4923 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4924 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4927 - many code generation updates and improvements
4928 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4931 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4932 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4934 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4936 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4939 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4940 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4942 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4943 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4945 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4947 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4951 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4952 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5237 * Merge some (modified) patches from Debian:
5238 - 03_blacklist-directories.patch
5239 - add some blacklisted mount directories
5240 - 60_wait-longer-for-threads-to-die.patch
5241 - sleep longer in a test case, if needed to avoid failing
5243 * Units policy change: prefer use of SI units
5244 - deprecate g_format_size_for_display, add g_format_size(_full)
5246 * GSettings: don't call g_error() when the schema is missing
5248 * GVariant support for arrays of object paths:
5249 - new g_variant_{new,get,dup}_objv API
5250 - support for g_variant_{new,get} '^ao' and '^a&o' similar to '^as'
5253 - use new improved array-of-objects support and pass 'ao' as char**
5254 instead of GVariant*
5255 - improve handling of 'h' type (Unix file descriptor index)
5258 - fix compilation without USE_STATFS and USE_STATVFS

5378 ==============================================
5380 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5381 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5382 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5383 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5384 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5385 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5387 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5388 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5390 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5392 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5394 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5445 * Updated translations:
5454 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5455 ==============================================
5458 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5459 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5460 an 'object manager' pattern:
5461 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5462 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5463 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5464 And server-side implementations:
5465 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5466 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5467 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5471 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5475 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5476 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5477 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5478 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5481 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5482 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5485 * Unix-specific APIs:
5486 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5487 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5488 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5489 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5490 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5491 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5515 * Updated translations
5522 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5523 ==============================================
5526 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5527 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5528 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5531 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5532 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5533 situations has been improved
5536 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5537 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5540 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5541 match strcmp() semantics
5542 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5543 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5544 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5546 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5547 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5550 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5552 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5554 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5555 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5556 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5833 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
5834 ==============================================
5836 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5837 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5842 g_get_monotonic_time
5844 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5847 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5849 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5851 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5852 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5853 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5855 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
5858 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
5859 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5860 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
5862 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
5863 g_get_user_runtime_dir
5865 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
5868 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
5869 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

5874 * Translation updates:
5882 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5883 ==============================================
5886 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5887 - Support environment passing
5890 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5891 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5893 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5894 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5895 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5899 158725 free linked list with data
5900 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
5901 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

5909 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5910 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5912 * Translation updates:
5918 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5919 ==============================================
5921 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5922 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5924 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5925 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5927 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5929 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5931 g_settings_get_range
5932 g_settings_range_check
5933 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5935 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5936 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5938 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5939 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5941 g_main_context_invoke
5942 g_main_context_invoke_full
5944 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5945 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5946 looking for default applications.
5948 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5949 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5950 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5951 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5953 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5954 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5955 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6210 =====================================================
6212 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6213 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6214 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6216 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6217 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6218 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6219 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6222 There have been many other improvements, however:
6225 - vastly improved test coverage
6226 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6227 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6228 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6231 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

6246 without mapping functions
6247 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
6250 - improve closure support for bindings
6251 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

6277 =====================================================
6279 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6280 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6281 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6282 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6283 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6284 | required (and will be along soon). |
6285 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6288 - cleanup automake setup
6289 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6290 - various docs fixups
6291 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6308 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6309 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6310 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6313 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6346 =====================================================
6348 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6349 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6350 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6351 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6352 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6355 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6356 -Bsymbolic-functions
6357 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6358 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6359 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6360 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6361 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6364 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6365 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6366 nobody was doing that.
6367 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6369 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6370 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6372 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6373 have a serial number
6374 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6376 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6378 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6379 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6380 has finished running on GDBus services.
6381 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6382 this due to the obvious race)
6383 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6384 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6387 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6388 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6389 arguments and different behaviour
6390 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6391 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6392 strings instead of utf8 strings
6393 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6394 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6395 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6396 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6397 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6398 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6399 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6400 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6401 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6404 - improved documentation
6405 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6406 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6407 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6408 overridden using <override>.
6409 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6411 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6412 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6413 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6414 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6415 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6416 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6417 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6418 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6419 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6420 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6421 being set due to a premature free
6422 - command line tool: bash completion support
6423 - chain up in _finalize
6424 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6426 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6427 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6428 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6430 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6431 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6432 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6433 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6434 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6438 - always intern GBinding prop names
6439 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6440 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6441 - GNode docs improvements
6442 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6443 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6444 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using

7151 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7152 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7153 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7154 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7155 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7156 while loading or saving it.
7157 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7158 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7159 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7162 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7163 interfaces to dynamic types.
7166 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7167 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7886 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7887 ===================================================
7889 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7890 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7891 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7892 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7893 also uses less memory overall.
7895 * Make g_poll available as public api
7897 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7898 that a GError is set or unset
7900 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7902 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7903 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7905 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7906 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9522 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9523 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9524 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9526 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9527 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9530 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

9541 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9542 never worked as intended.
9543 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9544 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9545 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9546 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9547 efficient and scalable implementation.
9548 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9551 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9552 unnecessary recursion.

9557 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9561 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9564 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9565 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9566 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9570 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9571 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9572 since they are in glib.h
