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

223 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
224 ==================================
226 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
227 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
228 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
229 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
231 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
232 directory for each unit test. (#538)
234 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
236 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
238 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
240 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
241 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
242 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
243 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
245 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
246 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
248 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
249 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
250 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
252 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
254 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
255 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
258 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
259 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
261 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
262 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
263 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
265 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
266 portal backends. (!317)
268 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
271 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
273 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
276 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
278 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
281 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
282 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
283 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
285 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
286 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
288 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
289 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
290 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
291 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
293 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
295 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

504 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
505 ==================================
507 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
508 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
509 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
510 with Meson or autotools. See:
511 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
513 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
515 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
516 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
518 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
520 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
522 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
523 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
524 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
525 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
528 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
529 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
530 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
531 !265 Network monitor again
532 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
533 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
534 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
535 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
536 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
537 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
539 * Translation updates:
549 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
550 ==================================
552 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
553 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
554 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
555 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
557 * Many minor documentation fixes.
559 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
561 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
563 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
565 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
566 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
568 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
570 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
571 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
572 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
575 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
577 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
580 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
581 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
582 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
583 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
584 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback

1752 ==================================
1754 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1755 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1756 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1757 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1759 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1760 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1761 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1763 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1764 environment variable.
1766 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1767 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1929 is unavailable or undesired.
1931 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
1932 glib-networking will also be required.

1987 ==================================
1989 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1990 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1991 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1992 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1994 This release corrects only this problem.
1996 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1997 ==================================
1999 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2000 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2001 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2003 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2349 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2350 ==================================
2352 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2353 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2354 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2355 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2356 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2357 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2359 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2360 have seen major improvements.
2362 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2363 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2364 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2367 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2369 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2371 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2373 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2374 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2375 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2376 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2377 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2378 you use the --strict option.
2380 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2381 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2382 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2384 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2386 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2387 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2388 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2434 ===================================
2436 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2437 before the release of 2.44.0.
2439 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2441 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2442 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2443 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2444 default in the next cycle.
2446 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

2493 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro

3038 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3039 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3040 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3041 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

3289 * Translations updates:
3296 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3297 ====================================================
3299 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3301 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3303 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3304 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3307 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3308 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3311 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3313 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3315 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3318 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3319 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3321 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3323 * Applications/Actions
3325 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3326 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3329 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3330 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3332 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3333 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3334 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3335 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3339 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3340 accesses that are performed in common situations
3342 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3343 are installed/removed
3345 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3346 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3348 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3349 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3354 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3356 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3357 that test programs don't pick them up
3359 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3361 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3362 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3363 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3364 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3366 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3367 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3369 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3370 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3371 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3375 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3377 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3379 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3381 Translations updated:
3389 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3392 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
3393 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
3394 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
3395 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
3396 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
3397 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
3398 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
3399 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3400 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3401 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
3402 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
3403 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
3404 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake

3431 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3432 ====================================================
3434 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3438 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3440 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3441 them can restart the application with an action (via
3446 - new API for launching subprocesses
3448 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3450 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3452 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3453 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3455 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3457 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3459 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3460 actions and listing apps and actions
3462 - bash tab completion is supported
3464 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3466 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3467 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3469 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3470 DBusActivatable=true
3472 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3473 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3478 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3480 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3481 class and inotify backend
3483 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3484 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3486 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3491 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3492 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3493 when there are invalid schemas installed
3495 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3499 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3500 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3502 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3505 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3506 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3507 semantics of the interface in each case
3509 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3510 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3512 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3514 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3515 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3516 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3517 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3521 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3524 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3526 * Portability improvements
3528 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3530 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3531 actually support it (like Hurd)
3533 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3535 * Other small API changes/additions
3537 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3538 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3539 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3541 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3543 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3544 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3546 * GMainContext/GSource
3548 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3550 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3551 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3552 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3553 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3554 broken and should probably be fixed.
3556 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3557 require use of a linked list
3561 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3562 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3563 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3565 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3569 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3570 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3571 gphoto, archive, at least).
3573 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3575 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3578 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3579 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3580 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3582 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3584 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3586 * Many documentation improvements
3589 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3590 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3591 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3644 What's new in Glib 2.38
3645 ========================
3647 * Application support
3649 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3650 desktop entry specification
3652 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3653 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3654 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3656 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3657 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3658 to launch other applications
3660 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3661 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3665 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3666 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3667 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3668 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3669 any problems that this may have caused.
3671 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3672 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3673 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3674 (allowing memory savings)
3676 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3677 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3678 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3680 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3681 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3684 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3685 without destroying one of the objects involved
3689 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3690 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3691 with a finite number of cases
3693 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3694 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3696 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3697 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3698 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3699 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3702 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3706 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3707 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3708 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3710 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3712 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3713 and an API to check them
3715 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3716 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3718 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3719 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3723 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3724 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3725 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3728 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3729 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3730 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3732 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3737 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3738 allow for regexp matching on streams
3740 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3741 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3742 g_variant_new_printf()
3746 - we can now generate TAP output
3748 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3749 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3751 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3756 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3879 ==============================================
3881 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3882 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3883 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3884 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

3975 ==============================================
3977 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3978 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3980 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3981 and will trigger a warning.
3984 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

4022 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
4024 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
4025 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
4027 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
4029 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
4031 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
4032 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
4033 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
4035 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

4066 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
4067 ==============================================
4069 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4070 and a parser API for them is now provided
4072 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4073 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4074 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
4076 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

4166 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
4167 ==============================================
4169 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4170 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4171 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4172 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4226 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4227 ==============================================
4229 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4230 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4231 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4232 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4233 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4237 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4238 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4240 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

4261 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4262 ==============================================
4264 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4266 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4267 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4269 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4270 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4272 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)

4413 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4414 ==============================================
4416 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4417 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4418 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4419 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4420 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4422 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4423 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4424 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4425 particular, are incompatible.
4427 * Bugs fixed in this release:
4428 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
4429 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

4472 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4473 ==============================================
4475 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4476 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4477 causing regressions in applications.
4479 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4480 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4481 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4484 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4485 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4486 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4488 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4490 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4492 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4494 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4496 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4498 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4500 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4502 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4504 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4506 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4556 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
4557 ==============================================
4559 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4560 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4562 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4563 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4565 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4567 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
4569 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
4571 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
4573 * GLib version macros updated
4575 * Update to Unicode 6.2

5403 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5404 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5405 to an overridden property
5406 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5407 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5409 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

5454 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5455 ==============================================
5457 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5458 moved to GtkApplication.
5460 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5461 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5462 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5463 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5465 * lots of documentation improvements
5467 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5469 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5470 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5472 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5474 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5476 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5478 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5479 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5482 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5483 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5487 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5488 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

5494 * Translations updated:
5498 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5499 ==============================================
5501 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5502 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5503 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5506 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5507 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5508 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5511 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5512 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5513 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5514 through an idle on the context.
5516 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5517 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5518 fixes here and there.
5520 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5521 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5522 API available outside GLib
5524 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5592 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5594 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5595 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5596 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5597 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5598 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5599 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5600 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5601 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5602 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5603 required (and has been deprecated)
5604 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5605 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5606 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5607 without explicit initialisation.
5608 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5609 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5610 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5612 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5613 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5614 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5615 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5616 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5617 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5618 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5620 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5621 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5622 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5623 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5624 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5625 - other implementation details changed
5627 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5628 deprecated/ directory.
5630 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5631 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5632 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5634 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5635 platform over a year ago).
5637 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5638 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5640 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5641 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5643 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5644 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5645 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5646 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5649 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5650 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5653 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5655 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5656 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5658 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5659 in a multi-threaded program
5661 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5662 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5665 - drop -uninstalled variants
5666 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5668 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5669 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5670 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5672 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5674 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5675 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5678 - many code generation updates and improvements
5679 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5682 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5683 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5685 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5687 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5690 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5691 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5693 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5694 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5696 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5698 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5702 * Partial list of bugs closed:

6118 * Translation updates:
6128 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6129 ==============================================
6131 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6132 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6133 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6134 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6135 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6136 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6138 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6139 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6141 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6143 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6145 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

6205 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6206 ==============================================
6209 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6210 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6211 an 'object manager' pattern:
6212 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6213 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6214 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6215 And server-side implementations:
6216 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6217 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6218 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6222 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6226 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6227 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6228 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6229 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6232 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6233 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6236 * Unix-specific APIs:
6237 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6238 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6239 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6240 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6241 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6242 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6259 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
6260 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
6261 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

6264 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6266 * Updated translations
6273 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6274 ==============================================
6277 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6278 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6279 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6282 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6283 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6284 situations has been improved
6287 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6288 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6291 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6292 match strcmp() semantics
6293 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6294 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6295 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6297 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6298 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6301 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6303 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6305 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6306 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6307 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6585 ==============================================
6587 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6588 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6593 g_get_monotonic_time
6595 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6598 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6600 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
6602 g_simple_async_result_take_error
6603 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
6604 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
6606 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
6609 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
6610 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
6611 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
6613 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
6614 g_get_user_runtime_dir
6616 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed

6633 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
6634 ==============================================
6637 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6638 - Support environment passing
6641 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6642 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6644 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6645 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6646 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6650 158725 free linked list with data
6651 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

6663 * Translation updates:
6669 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6670 ==============================================
6672 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6673 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6675 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6676 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6678 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6680 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6682 g_settings_get_range
6683 g_settings_range_check
6684 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6686 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6687 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6689 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6690 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6692 g_main_context_invoke
6693 g_main_context_invoke_full
6695 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6696 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6697 looking for default applications.
6699 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6700 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6701 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6702 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6704 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6705 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6706 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6963 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6964 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6965 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6967 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6968 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6969 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6970 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6973 There have been many other improvements, however:
6976 - vastly improved test coverage
6977 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6978 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

7028 =====================================================
7030 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7031 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7032 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7033 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7034 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7035 | required (and will be along soon). |
7036 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7039 - cleanup automake setup
7040 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7041 - various docs fixups

7096 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7097 =====================================================
7099 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7100 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7101 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7102 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7103 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7106 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7107 -Bsymbolic-functions
7108 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7109 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7110 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7111 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7112 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7115 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7116 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7117 nobody was doing that.
7118 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7120 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7121 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7123 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7124 have a serial number
7125 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7127 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7129 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7130 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7131 has finished running on GDBus services.
7132 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7133 this due to the obvious race)
7134 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7135 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7138 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7139 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7140 arguments and different behaviour
7141 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7142 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7143 strings instead of utf8 strings
7144 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7145 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7146 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7147 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7148 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7149 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7150 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7151 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7152 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7155 - improved documentation
7156 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7157 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7158 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7159 overridden using <override>.
7160 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7162 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7163 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7164 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7165 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7166 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7167 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7168 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7169 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7170 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7171 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7172 being set due to a premature free
7173 - command line tool: bash completion support
7174 - chain up in _finalize
7175 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7177 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7178 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7179 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7181 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7182 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7183 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7184 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7185 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7189 - always intern GBinding prop names
7190 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7191 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7192 - GNode docs improvements
7193 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7194 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7195 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7199 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7200 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7201 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7202 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7203 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7204 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7205 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7206 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7208 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7209 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7210 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7211 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7212 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7213 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7214 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
7215 610784 array test failing

7902 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7903 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7904 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7905 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7906 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7907 while loading or saving it.
7908 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7909 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7910 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7913 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7914 interfaces to dynamic types.

8641 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

8653 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8654 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8656 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

10237 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
10238 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10239 variants [Martyn Russell]

10271 =================================================
10273 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10274 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10275 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10277 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10278 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10281 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10282 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10283 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10284 "stutter stepping".
10285 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10287 * Memory management:
10288 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10289 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10290 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10291 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10292 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10293 never worked as intended.
10294 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10295 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10296 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10297 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10298 efficient and scalable implementation.
10299 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10301 * Pattern matching:
10302 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10303 unnecessary recursion.
10306 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10307 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10308 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10311 * g_thread_foreach:
10312 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10315 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10316 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10317 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10321 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10322 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10323 since they are in glib.h
