300 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
301 ==================================
303 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
304 which makes error checking easier (#553)
306 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
307 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
308 variables, or mostly anything else (see
309 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)

320 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
322 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
323 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
324 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
325 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
326 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
327 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1463 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
1464 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1465 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1467 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1468 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1470 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1471 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1473 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1474 third-party code should now be using
1475 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)

1487 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
1489 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1491 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1493 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1494 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1496 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1498 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1499 of packaged libraries (!951)

1973 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1974 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1975 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

2038 * Translation updates:
2043 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2044 ==================================
2046 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2047 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2048 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2049 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2051 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2052 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2054 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2056 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2058 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2060 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2061 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2062 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2063 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2065 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2066 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2068 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2069 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2070 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2072 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2074 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2075 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2078 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2079 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2081 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2082 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2083 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2085 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2086 portal backends. (!317)
2088 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2091 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2093 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2096 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2098 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2101 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2102 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2103 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2105 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2106 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2108 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2109 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2110 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2111 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2113 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2115 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2324 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2325 ==================================
2327 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2328 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2329 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2330 with Meson or autotools. See:
2331 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2333 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2335 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2336 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2338 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2340 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2342 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2343 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2344 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2345 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2348 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2349 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2350 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2351 !265 Network monitor again
2352 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2353 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2354 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2355 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2356 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2357 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2359 * Translation updates:
2369 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2370 ==================================
2372 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2373 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2374 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2375 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2377 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2379 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2381 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2383 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2385 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2386 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2388 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2390 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2391 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2392 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2395 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2397 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2400 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2401 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

3584 environment variable.

3784 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.4
3785 ==================================
3787 * The GApplication documentation has been improved in several areas.

3810 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3811 ==================================
3813 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3814 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3815 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3816 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3818 This release corrects only this problem.
3820 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3821 ==================================
3823 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3824 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3825 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3827 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3916 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
3917 ==================================
3919 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
3920 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
3921 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
3922 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
3923 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
3926 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
3927 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
3928 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
3929 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
3930 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
3931 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
3932 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4188 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4189 ==================================
4191 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4192 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4193 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4194 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4195 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4196 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4198 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4199 have seen major improvements.
4201 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4202 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4203 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4206 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4208 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4210 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4212 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4213 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4214 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4215 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4216 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4217 you use the --strict option.
4219 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4220 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4221 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4223 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4225 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4226 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4227 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4273 ===================================
4275 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4276 before the release of 2.44.0.
4278 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4280 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4281 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4282 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4283 default in the next cycle.
4285 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4287 * new GTask:completed property

4329 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
4330 ===================================
4332 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4333 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4334 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4336 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4337 effective busy state.
4339 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4386 ==================================
4388 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4389 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
4390 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4392 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4393 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
4395 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

4844 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4845 =====================================================
4847 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4849 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
4850 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
4851 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
4852 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
4853 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
4854 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
4855 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
4856 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
4857 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
4858 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
4859 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
4861 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
4862 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)

4887 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4888 =====================================================
4890 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4891 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4892 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4893 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4894 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4895 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4897 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

5143 * Translations updates:
5150 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5151 ====================================================
5153 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5155 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5157 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5158 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5161 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5162 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5165 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5167 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5169 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5172 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5173 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5175 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5177 * Applications/Actions
5179 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5180 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5183 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5184 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5186 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5187 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5188 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5189 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5193 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5194 accesses that are performed in common situations
5196 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5197 are installed/removed
5199 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5200 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5202 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5203 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5208 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5210 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5211 that test programs don't pick them up
5213 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5215 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5216 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5217 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5218 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5220 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5221 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5223 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5224 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5225 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5229 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5231 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5233 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5235 Translations updated:
5243 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

5285 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5286 ====================================================
5288 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5292 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5294 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5295 them can restart the application with an action (via
5300 - new API for launching subprocesses
5302 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5304 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5306 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5307 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5309 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5311 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5313 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5314 actions and listing apps and actions
5316 - bash tab completion is supported
5318 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5320 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5321 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5323 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5324 DBusActivatable=true
5326 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5327 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5332 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5334 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5335 class and inotify backend
5337 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5338 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5340 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5345 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5346 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5347 when there are invalid schemas installed
5349 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5353 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5354 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5356 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5359 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5360 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5361 semantics of the interface in each case
5363 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5364 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5366 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5368 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5369 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5370 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5371 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5375 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5378 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5380 * Portability improvements
5382 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5384 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5385 actually support it (like Hurd)
5387 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5389 * Other small API changes/additions
5391 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5392 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5393 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5395 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5397 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5398 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5400 * GMainContext/GSource
5402 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5404 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5405 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5406 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5407 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5408 broken and should probably be fixed.
5410 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5411 require use of a linked list
5415 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5416 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5417 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5419 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5423 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5424 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5425 gphoto, archive, at least).
5427 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5429 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5432 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5433 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5434 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5436 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5438 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5440 * Many documentation improvements

5498 What's new in Glib 2.38
5499 ========================
5501 * Application support
5503 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5504 desktop entry specification
5506 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5507 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5508 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5510 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5511 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5512 to launch other applications
5514 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5515 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5519 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5520 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5521 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5522 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5523 any problems that this may have caused.
5525 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5526 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5527 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5528 (allowing memory savings)
5530 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5531 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5532 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5534 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5535 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5538 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5539 without destroying one of the objects involved
5543 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5544 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5545 with a finite number of cases
5547 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5548 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5550 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5551 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5552 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5553 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5556 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5560 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5561 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5562 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5564 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5566 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5567 and an API to check them
5569 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5570 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5572 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5573 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5577 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5578 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5579 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5582 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5583 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5584 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5586 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5591 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5592 allow for regexp matching on streams
5594 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5595 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5596 g_variant_new_printf()
5600 - we can now generate TAP output
5602 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5603 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5605 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5610 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5733 ==============================================
5735 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5736 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5737 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5738 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5740 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5741 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

5809 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
5810 build the unmodified source
5812 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
5814 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
5815 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
5816 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
5823 698375 - D-Bus async properties

5831 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5832 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5834 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5835 and will trigger a warning.
5838 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5872 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
5873 ==============================================
5875 * add support for installed tests:
5876 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
5878 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
5879 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5881 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5883 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5885 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
5886 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
5887 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
5889 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

5920 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
5921 ==============================================
5923 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5924 and a parser API for them is now provided
5926 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5927 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5928 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5976 * Translation updates:
5988 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
5989 ==============================================
5991 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
5992 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
5993 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
5994 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
5995 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
5996 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
5997 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
5998 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
5999 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6001 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6002 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6003 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6004 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6005 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6007 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6008 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6009 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6010 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6011 anyone was using it.
6013 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6015 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6016 the destination file
6018 - fix some 'available since' annotations

6023 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

6042 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6043 ==============================================
6045 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6046 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6047 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6048 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

6102 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6103 ==============================================
6105 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6106 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6107 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6108 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6109 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
6113 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
6114 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
6116 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
6117 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
6118 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
6119 * documentation fixes
6120 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
6123 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

6137 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
6138 ==============================================
6140 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
6142 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
6143 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
6145 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
6146 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
6148 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
6161 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
6162 ==============================================
6164 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
6167 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
6168 ready at a specified monotonic time
6170 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
6172 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
6175 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
6176 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

6274 * Translation updates:
6289 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6290 ==============================================
6292 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6293 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6294 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6295 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6296 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6298 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6299 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6300 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6301 particular, are incompatible.
6303 * Bugs fixed in this release:

6348 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6349 ==============================================
6351 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6352 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6353 causing regressions in applications.
6355 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6356 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6357 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6360 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6361 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6362 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6364 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6366 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6368 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6370 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6372 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6374 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6376 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6378 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6380 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6382 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6993 * Updated translations:
7020 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7021 ===============================================
7023 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7024 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7025 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7028 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7029 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7030 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7031 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7032 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7033 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7034 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7036 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7037 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7038 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7039 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7040 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7042 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7044 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7046 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7047 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7048 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7049 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7052 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7053 such programs to break.
7055 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7056 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7057 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7059 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7060 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7062 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7064 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7325 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
7326 ==============================================
7329 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7330 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7331 to an overridden property
7332 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7333 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7335 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7336 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
7338 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
7340 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

7380 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7381 ==============================================
7383 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7384 moved to GtkApplication.
7386 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7387 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7388 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7389 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7391 * lots of documentation improvements
7393 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7395 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7396 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7398 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7400 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7402 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7404 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7405 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7408 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7409 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
7410 664699 glib: documentation fixes
7411 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
7412 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
7413 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7414 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
7415 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
7416 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
7417 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
7418 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
7420 * Translations updated:
7424 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7425 ==============================================
7427 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7428 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7429 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7432 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7433 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7434 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7437 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7438 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7439 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7440 through an idle on the context.
7442 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7443 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7444 fixes here and there.
7446 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7447 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7448 API available outside GLib
7450 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7489 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
7491 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7492 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7493 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7495 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7498 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7499 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
7500 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
7503 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

7514 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7515 =================================================
7517 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7518 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7520 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7521 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7522 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7523 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7524 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7525 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7526 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7527 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7528 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7529 required (and has been deprecated)
7530 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7531 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7532 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7533 without explicit initialisation.
7534 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7535 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7536 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7538 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7539 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7540 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7541 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7542 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7543 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7544 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7546 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7547 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7548 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7549 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7550 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7551 - other implementation details changed
7553 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7554 deprecated/ directory.
7556 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7557 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7558 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7560 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7561 platform over a year ago).
7563 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7564 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7566 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7567 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7569 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7570 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7571 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7572 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7575 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7576 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7579 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7581 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7582 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7584 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7585 in a multi-threaded program
7587 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7588 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7591 - drop -uninstalled variants
7592 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7594 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7595 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7596 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7598 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7600 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7601 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7604 - many code generation updates and improvements
7605 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7608 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7609 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7611 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7613 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7616 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7617 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7619 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7620 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7622 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7624 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7628 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7629 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7711 * Translations updates:
7713 Brazilian Portuguese
7740 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
7741 ================================================
7743 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
7744 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
7745 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
7746 GObject depends on libffi now.

7754 - check if -lsocket is needed
7755 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
7757 - fix some harmless warnings
7759 * GDateTime improvements:
7760 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
7761 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
7762 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
7763 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
7764 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
7765 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks

8060 ==============================================
8062 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8063 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8064 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8065 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8066 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8067 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8069 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8070 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8072 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8074 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
8076 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

8127 * Updated translations:
8136 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8137 ==============================================
8140 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8141 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8142 an 'object manager' pattern:
8143 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8144 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8145 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8146 And server-side implementations:
8147 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8148 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8149 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8153 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8157 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8158 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8159 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8160 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8163 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8164 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8167 * Unix-specific APIs:
8168 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8169 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8170 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8171 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8172 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8173 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8197 * Updated translations
8204 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8205 ==============================================
8208 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8209 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8210 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8213 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8214 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8215 situations has been improved
8218 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8219 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8222 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8223 match strcmp() semantics
8224 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8225 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8226 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8228 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8229 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8232 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8234 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8236 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8237 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8238 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8519 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8520 ==============================================
8522 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8523 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8528 g_get_monotonic_time
8530 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8533 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8535 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8537 g_simple_async_result_take_error

8568 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8569 ==============================================
8572 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8573 - Support environment passing
8576 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8577 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8579 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8580 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8581 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8585 158725 free linked list with data
8586 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8587 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

8596 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
8598 * Translation updates:
8604 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8605 ==============================================
8607 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8608 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8610 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8611 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8613 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8615 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8617 g_settings_get_range
8618 g_settings_range_check
8619 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8621 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8622 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8624 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8625 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8627 g_main_context_invoke
8628 g_main_context_invoke_full
8630 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8631 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8632 looking for default applications.
8634 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8635 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8636 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8637 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8639 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8640 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8641 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
8644 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
8645 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality
8646 620710 g_get_user_data_dir() uses CSIDL_PERSONAL and not CSIDL_APPDATA

8649 627171 g_socket_new_from_fd() doesn't set the right protocol
8650 628876 Wrong error description
8651 628937 gracefully handle broken schemas
8652 629274 GNetworkService doesn't fallback when there is no SRV record

8898 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8899 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8900 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8902 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8903 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8904 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8905 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8908 There have been many other improvements, however:
8911 - vastly improved test coverage
8912 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8913 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8914 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
8917 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

8932 without mapping functions
8933 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
8936 - improve closure support for bindings
8937 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

8963 =====================================================
8965 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8966 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8967 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8968 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8969 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8970 | required (and will be along soon). |
8971 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8974 - cleanup automake setup
8975 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8976 - various docs fixups
8977 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8993 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
8994 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8995 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8996 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8999 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

9002 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
9003 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
9004 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
9007 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

9032 =====================================================
9034 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9035 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9036 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9037 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9038 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9041 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9042 -Bsymbolic-functions
9043 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9044 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9045 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9046 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9047 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9050 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9051 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9052 nobody was doing that.
9053 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9055 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9056 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9058 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9059 have a serial number
9060 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9062 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9064 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9065 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9066 has finished running on GDBus services.
9067 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9068 this due to the obvious race)
9069 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9070 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9073 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9074 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9075 arguments and different behaviour
9076 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9077 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9078 strings instead of utf8 strings
9079 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9080 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9081 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9082 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9083 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9084 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay

9094 overridden using <override>.
9095 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9097 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9098 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:

9110 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9112 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9113 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9114 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9116 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9117 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9118 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9119 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9120 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9124 - always intern GBinding prop names

9543 * Updated translations:
9550 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9551 ===================================================
9553 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9554 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9555 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9556 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9557 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
9559 * Translation updates:
9569 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9570 ===================================================
9572 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9573 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9574 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9575 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9577 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9578 when g_type_init() is called.
9580 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9581 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9582 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9584 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9585 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9586 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9587 is a bug in application code.

9645 ===================================================
9647 * New API addition: g_malloc_n() and friends used to implement an
9648 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
9651 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
9652 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
9653 - The parser will be in a future release.
9656 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
9657 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
9658 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

9759 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
9761 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
9763 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
9764 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
9765 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
9767 * Threading changes:
9768 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
9769 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
9771 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9772 when g_type_init() is called.
9773 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
9776 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
9779 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

9851 ===================================================
9854 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9855 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9856 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9857 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9858 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9859 while loading or saving it.
9860 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9861 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9862 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9865 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9866 interfaces to dynamic types.
9869 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9870 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

10232 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
10233 for actual socket I/O.
10234 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
10235 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.

10311 ===================================================
10313 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10314 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10315 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10316 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10317 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10318 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10319 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10320 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10321 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10322 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10323 object with the given URI.

10605 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10606 ===================================================
10608 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10609 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10610 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10611 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10612 also uses less memory overall.
10614 * Make g_poll available as public api
10616 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10617 that a GError is set or unset
10619 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10621 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10622 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10624 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10625 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10702 ===================================================
10704 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
10705 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
10706 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
10707 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
10708 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
10709 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12031 ===================================================

12038 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
12041 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12042 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12044 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12047 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12048 ==================================================
12050 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12051 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12052 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12053 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12055 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12056 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12058 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12059 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12062 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12063 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12064 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12065 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12066 support ELF visibility attributes.
12068 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12069 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12071 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12072 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12073 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12074 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12075 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12076 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12077 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12078 to help with the transition.

12231 =================================================
12233 * Memory management
12234 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
12235 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
12236 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12237 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12240 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12243 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12244 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12245 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12246 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12247 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12248 variants [Martyn Russell]
12251 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12252 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
12255 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12258 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12259 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
12260 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
12261 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12262 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12263 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12264 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

12279 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12280 =================================================
12282 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12283 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12284 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12286 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12287 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12290 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12291 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12292 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12293 "stutter stepping".
12294 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12296 * Memory management:
12297 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12298 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12299 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12300 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12301 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12302 never worked as intended.
12303 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12304 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12305 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12306 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12307 efficient and scalable implementation.
12308 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12310 * Pattern matching:
12311 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12312 unnecessary recursion.
12315 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12316 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12317 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12320 * g_thread_foreach:
12321 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12324 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12325 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12326 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12330 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12331 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12332 since they are in glib.h

12348 correctly on ppc64. [Michael Lorenz]
12349 (Third-party code accessing enumeration values
12350 in GValues should also be changed to access
12351 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
12353 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
12354 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

12511 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12512 =================================================
12514 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12515 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12516 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12517 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12518 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12519 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12520 included through <glib.h>.
12522 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12523 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12524 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12525 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12526 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12528 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12529 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12530 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12531 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12532 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12534 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12535 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12536 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12537 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12539 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12540 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12541 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12543 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12544 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12545 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12546 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12547 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12548 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12550 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12551 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12552 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12553 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12555 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12556 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12557 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12558 stderr if you need to see them.
12560 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12561 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12562 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12563 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12564 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12565 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12567 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12568 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12569 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12570 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12571 work with future versions of GLib.
12574 - GOption, a commandline option parser
12575 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
12576 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
12577 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
12578 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
12580 * Miscellaneous new functions
12581 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
12582 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
12583 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
12584 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
12585 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
12586 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
12587 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
12588 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
12589 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
12590 - g_debug() completes the family of logging functions
12592 * Performance improvements
12593 - Optimize g_utf8_validate()
12594 - Optimize g_markup_parse_context_parse()
12595 - Reduce signal connection complexity from O(n) to O(1)
12596 - Get rid of many PLT entries for internally used exported symbols
12597 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
12600 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
12601 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
12602 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
12603 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
12604 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
12605 - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols
12606 - Add a .pc file for using gmodule in libraries
