1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
2 ==================================
4 * Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
7 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
8 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
9 - `g_array_binary_search()`
11 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
13 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
14 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
15 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
17 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
18 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
20 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
21 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
23 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
24 third-party code should now be using
25 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
27 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
29 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
31 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
34 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
36 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
37 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
39 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
41 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
43 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
44 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
46 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
48 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
49 of packaged libraries (!951)
51 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

522 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
523 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
524 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
525 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

588 * Translation updates:
593 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
594 ==================================
596 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
597 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
598 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
599 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
601 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
602 directory for each unit test. (#538)
604 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
606 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
608 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
610 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
611 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
612 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
613 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
615 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
616 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
618 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
619 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
620 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
622 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
624 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
625 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
628 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
629 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
631 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
632 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
633 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
635 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
636 portal backends. (!317)
638 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
641 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
643 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
646 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
648 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
651 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
652 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
653 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
655 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
656 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
658 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
659 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
660 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
661 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
663 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
665 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

874 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
875 ==================================
877 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
878 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
879 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
880 with Meson or autotools. See:
881 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
883 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
885 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
886 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
888 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
890 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
892 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
893 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
894 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
895 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
898 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
899 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature

907 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
909 * Translation updates:
919 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
920 ==================================
922 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
923 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
924 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
925 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
927 * Many minor documentation fixes.
929 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
931 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
933 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
935 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
936 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
938 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
940 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
941 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
942 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
945 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
947 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.

2122 ==================================
2124 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
2125 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
2126 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
2127 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
2129 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
2130 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
2131 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
2133 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
2134 environment variable.
2136 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
2137 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

2299 is unavailable or undesired.
2301 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

2356 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2357 ==================================
2359 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2360 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2361 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2362 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2364 This release corrects only this problem.
2366 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2367 ==================================
2369 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2370 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2371 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2373 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2719 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2720 ==================================
2722 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2723 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2724 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2725 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2726 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2727 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2729 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2730 have seen major improvements.
2732 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2733 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2734 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2737 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2739 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2741 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2743 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2744 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2745 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2746 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2747 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2748 you use the --strict option.
2750 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2751 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2752 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2754 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2756 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2757 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2758 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2804 ===================================
2806 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2807 before the release of 2.44.0.
2809 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2811 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2812 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2813 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2814 default in the next cycle.
2816 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

3410 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3411 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

3666 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3667 ====================================================
3669 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3671 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3673 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3674 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3677 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3678 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3681 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3683 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3685 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3688 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3689 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3691 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3693 * Applications/Actions
3695 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3696 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3699 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3700 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3702 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3703 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3704 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3705 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3709 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3710 accesses that are performed in common situations
3712 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3713 are installed/removed
3715 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3716 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3718 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3719 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3724 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3726 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3727 that test programs don't pick them up
3729 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3731 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3732 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3733 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3734 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3736 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3737 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3739 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3740 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3741 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3745 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3747 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3749 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3751 Translations updated:

3770 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3771 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3801 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3802 ====================================================
3804 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3808 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3810 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3811 them can restart the application with an action (via
3816 - new API for launching subprocesses
3818 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3820 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3822 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3823 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3825 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3827 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3829 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3830 actions and listing apps and actions
3832 - bash tab completion is supported
3834 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3836 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3837 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3839 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3840 DBusActivatable=true
3842 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3843 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3848 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3850 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3851 class and inotify backend
3853 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3854 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3856 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3861 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3862 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3863 when there are invalid schemas installed
3865 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3869 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3870 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3872 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3875 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3876 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3877 semantics of the interface in each case
3879 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3880 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3882 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3884 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3885 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3886 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3887 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3891 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3894 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3896 * Portability improvements
3898 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3900 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3901 actually support it (like Hurd)
3903 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3905 * Other small API changes/additions
3907 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3908 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3909 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3911 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3913 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3914 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3916 * GMainContext/GSource
3918 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3920 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3921 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3922 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3923 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3924 broken and should probably be fixed.
3926 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3927 require use of a linked list
3931 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3932 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3933 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3935 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3939 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3940 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3941 gphoto, archive, at least).
3943 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3945 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3948 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3949 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3950 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3952 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3954 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3956 * Many documentation improvements
3959 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3960 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3961 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

4014 What's new in Glib 2.38
4015 ========================
4017 * Application support
4019 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4020 desktop entry specification
4022 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4023 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4024 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4026 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4027 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4028 to launch other applications
4030 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4031 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4035 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4036 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4037 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4038 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4039 any problems that this may have caused.
4041 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4042 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4043 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4044 (allowing memory savings)
4046 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4047 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4048 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4050 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4051 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4054 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4055 without destroying one of the objects involved
4059 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4060 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4061 with a finite number of cases
4063 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4064 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4066 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4067 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4068 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4069 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4072 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4076 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4077 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4078 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4080 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4082 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4083 and an API to check them
4085 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4086 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4088 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4089 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4093 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4094 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4095 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4098 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4099 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4100 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4102 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4107 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4108 allow for regexp matching on streams
4110 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4111 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4112 g_variant_new_printf()
4116 - we can now generate TAP output
4118 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4119 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4121 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4126 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4249 ==============================================
4251 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
4252 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4253 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4254 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
4256 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
4257 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
4260 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
4262 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
4263 the key was locked down)
4265 * Miscellaneous new api:
4266 - g_variant_new_printf
4267 - g_action_print_detailed_name
4268 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind

4325 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
4326 build the unmodified source
4328 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
4330 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
4331 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
4332 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
4339 698375 - D-Bus async properties

4345 ==============================================
4347 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
4348 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
4350 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
4351 and will trigger a warning.
4354 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

4389 ==============================================
4391 * add support for installed tests:
4392 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
4394 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
4395 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
4397 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
4399 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
4401 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
4402 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
4403 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
4405 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

4439 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4440 and a parser API for them is now provided
4442 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4443 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4444 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4509 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
4510 the destination file
4512 - fix some 'available since' annotations
4514 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

4536 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
4537 ==============================================
4539 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4540 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4541 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4542 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4596 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4597 ==============================================
4599 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4600 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4601 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4602 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4603 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4607 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4608 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4610 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4611 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4612 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4613 * documentation fixes
4614 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4617 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

4631 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4632 ==============================================
4634 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4636 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4637 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4639 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4640 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4642 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4655 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4656 ==============================================
4658 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

4662 ready at a specified monotonic time
4664 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4666 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

4768 * Translation updates:
4783 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4784 ==============================================
4786 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4787 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4788 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4789 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4790 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4792 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4793 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4794 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4795 particular, are incompatible.
4797 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4842 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4843 ==============================================
4845 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4846 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4847 causing regressions in applications.
4849 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4850 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4851 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4854 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4855 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4856 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4858 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4860 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4862 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4864 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4866 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4868 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4870 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4872 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4874 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4876 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4926 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
4927 ==============================================
4929 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4930 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4932 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4933 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4935 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4937 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
4939 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
4941 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
4943 * GLib version macros updated
4945 * Update to Unicode 6.2

5770 ==============================================
5773 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5774 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5775 to an overridden property
5776 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5777 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5779 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5780 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

5824 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5825 ==============================================
5827 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5828 moved to GtkApplication.
5830 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5831 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5832 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5833 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5835 * lots of documentation improvements
5837 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5839 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5840 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5842 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5844 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5846 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5848 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5849 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5852 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5853 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5857 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5858 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
5859 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
5860 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
5861 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
5862 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
5864 * Translations updated:
5868 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5869 ==============================================
5871 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5872 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5873 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5876 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5877 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5878 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5881 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5882 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5883 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5884 through an idle on the context.
5886 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5887 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5888 fixes here and there.
5890 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5891 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5892 API available outside GLib
5894 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5958 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5959 =================================================
5961 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5962 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5964 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5965 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5966 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5967 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5968 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5969 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5970 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5971 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5972 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5973 required (and has been deprecated)
5974 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5975 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5976 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5977 without explicit initialisation.
5978 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5979 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5980 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5982 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5983 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5984 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5985 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5986 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5987 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5988 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5990 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5991 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5992 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5993 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5994 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5995 - other implementation details changed
5997 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5998 deprecated/ directory.
6000 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6001 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6002 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6004 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6005 platform over a year ago).
6007 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6008 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6010 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6011 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6013 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6014 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6015 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6016 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6019 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6020 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6023 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6025 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6026 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6028 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6029 in a multi-threaded program
6031 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6032 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6035 - drop -uninstalled variants
6036 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6038 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6039 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6040 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6042 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6044 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6045 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6048 - many code generation updates and improvements
6049 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6052 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6053 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6055 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6057 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6060 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6061 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6063 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6064 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6066 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6068 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes

6498 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6499 ==============================================
6501 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6502 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6503 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6504 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6505 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6506 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6508 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6509 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6511 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6513 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6515 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

6575 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6576 ==============================================
6579 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6580 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6581 an 'object manager' pattern:
6582 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6583 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6584 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6585 And server-side implementations:
6586 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6587 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6588 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6592 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6596 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6597 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6598 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6599 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6602 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6603 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6606 * Unix-specific APIs:
6607 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6608 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6609 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6610 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6611 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6612 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6629 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
6630 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
6631 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

6634 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6636 * Updated translations
6643 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6644 ==============================================
6647 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6648 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6649 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6652 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6653 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6654 situations has been improved
6657 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6658 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6661 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6662 match strcmp() semantics
6663 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6664 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6665 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6667 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6668 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6671 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6673 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6675 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6676 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6677 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6965 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6968 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6970 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

7007 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
7008 - Support environment passing
7011 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7012 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7014 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7015 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7016 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
7020 158725 free linked list with data

7033 * Translation updates:
7039 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7040 ==============================================
7042 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7043 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7045 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7046 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7048 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7050 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7052 g_settings_get_range
7053 g_settings_range_check
7054 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7056 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7057 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7059 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7060 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7062 g_main_context_invoke
7063 g_main_context_invoke_full
7065 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7066 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7067 looking for default applications.
7069 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7070 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7071 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7072 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7074 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7075 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7076 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

7232 =====================================================
7236 - The GZip(De}Compressor can now process header information
7237 - Support for network proxies has been added, with the GProxy

7243 be used in GApplication in the near future.
7246 - There are now convenience macros for defining boxed and
7251 - GDBusProxy for well-known names can now auto-restart
7252 the service if the name owner disapperas

7333 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7334 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7335 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7337 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7338 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7339 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7340 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7343 There have been many other improvements, however:
7346 - vastly improved test coverage
7347 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7348 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7349 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
7352 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

7397 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
7398 =====================================================
7400 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7401 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7402 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7403 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7404 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7405 | required (and will be along soon). |
7406 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7409 - cleanup automake setup
7410 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7411 - various docs fixups
7412 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7416 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
7418 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
7419 - add g_settings_reset()
7420 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
7423 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
7424 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
7425 - proper support for file descriptor passing
7426 - new flags parameter for sending messages
7427 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
7428 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
7429 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7430 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7431 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7434 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7437 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
7438 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
7439 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
7442 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

7466 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7467 =====================================================
7469 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7470 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7471 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7472 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7473 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7476 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7477 -Bsymbolic-functions
7478 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7479 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7480 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7481 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7482 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7485 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7486 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7487 nobody was doing that.
7488 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7490 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7491 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7493 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7494 have a serial number
7495 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7497 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7499 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7500 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7501 has finished running on GDBus services.
7502 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7503 this due to the obvious race)
7504 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7505 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7508 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7509 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7510 arguments and different behaviour
7511 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7512 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7513 strings instead of utf8 strings
7514 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7515 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7516 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7517 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7518 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7519 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7520 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7521 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7522 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7525 - improved documentation
7526 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7527 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7528 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7529 overridden using <override>.
7530 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7532 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7533 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7534 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7535 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7536 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7537 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7538 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7539 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7540 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7541 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7542 being set due to a premature free
7543 - command line tool: bash completion support
7544 - chain up in _finalize
7545 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7547 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7548 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7549 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7551 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7552 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7553 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7554 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7555 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7559 - always intern GBinding prop names
7560 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7561 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7562 - GNode docs improvements
7563 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7564 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7565 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7569 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7570 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7571 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7572 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7573 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7574 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7575 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7576 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7578 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7579 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7580 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7581 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7582 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7583 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7584 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

8279 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8280 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8283 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8284 interfaces to dynamic types.

9011 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
9012 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
9013 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
9014 also uses less memory overall.

9019 that a GError is set or unset
9021 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
9023 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
9024 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
9026 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

10643 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10644 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10645 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10647 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10648 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10651 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10652 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10653 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10654 "stutter stepping".
10655 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10657 * Memory management:
10658 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

10661 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10662 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10663 never worked as intended.
10664 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10665 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10666 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10667 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10668 efficient and scalable implementation.
10669 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10671 * Pattern matching:
10672 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10673 unnecessary recursion.
10676 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10677 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10678 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10681 * g_thread_foreach:
10682 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10685 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10686 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10687 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10691 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10692 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10693 since they are in glib.h
