1 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
2 ===================================================
4 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
6 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
8 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
9 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
10 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
13 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
14 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
16 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
17 when g_type_init() is called.
18 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
21 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
24 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

63 - Interface lookup is lock-free and constant-time now
64 - Reduced locking overhead when dealing with types
66 * GType now has a G_DEFINE_INTERFACE convenience macro
68 * GIO gained GUtf8InputStream, an input stream that

96 ===================================================
99 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
100 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
101 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
102 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
103 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
104 while loading or saving it.
105 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
106 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
107 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
110 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
111 interfaces to dynamic types.
114 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
115 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

834 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
835 ===================================================
837 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
838 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
839 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
840 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
841 also uses less memory overall.
843 * Make g_poll available as public api
845 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
846 that a GError is set or unset
848 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
850 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
851 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
853 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
854 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

2468 =================================================
2470 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
2471 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
2472 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
2474 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
2475 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
2478 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

2489 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
2490 never worked as intended.
2491 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
2492 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
2493 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
2494 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
2495 efficient and scalable implementation.
2496 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
2499 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
2500 unnecessary recursion.

2505 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
2509 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
2512 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
2513 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
2514 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
2518 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
2519 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
2520 since they are in glib.h
