770 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
771 ==================================
773 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
774 which makes error checking easier (#553)
776 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
777 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
778 variables, or mostly anything else (see
779 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
781 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by

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

1941 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)

1961 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1963 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything

1966 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1968 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1969 of packaged libraries (!951)

2443 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2444 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2445 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

2513 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2514 ==================================
2516 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2517 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2518 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2519 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2521 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2522 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2524 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2526 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2528 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2530 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2531 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2532 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2533 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2535 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2536 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2538 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2539 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2540 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2542 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2544 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2545 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2548 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2549 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2551 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2552 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2553 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2555 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2556 portal backends. (!317)
2558 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2561 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2563 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2566 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2568 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2571 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2572 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2573 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2575 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2576 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2578 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2579 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2580 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2581 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2583 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2585 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2794 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2795 ==================================
2797 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2798 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2799 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2800 with Meson or autotools. See:
2801 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2803 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2805 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2806 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2808 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2810 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2812 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2813 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2814 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2815 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2818 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2819 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2820 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2821 !265 Network monitor again
2822 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2823 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2824 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2825 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2826 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2827 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2829 * Translation updates:
2839 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2840 ==================================
2842 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2843 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2844 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2845 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2847 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2849 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2851 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2853 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2855 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2856 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2858 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2860 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2861 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2862 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2865 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2867 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2870 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2871 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2872 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

4054 environment variable.

4218 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
4219 ==================================
4221 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
4222 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
4223 is unavailable or undesired.
4225 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
4226 glib-networking will also be required.
4228 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
4229 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag
4231 * several GApplication fixes, including fixes for commandline arguments
4232 in interpreted languages on Windows

4280 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
4281 ==================================
4283 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
4284 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
4285 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
4286 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
4288 This release corrects only this problem.
4290 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
4291 ==================================
4293 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
4294 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
4295 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
4297 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4386 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4387 ==================================
4389 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4390 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4391 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4392 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4393 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4396 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4397 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4398 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4399 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4400 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4401 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4402 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4658 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4659 ==================================
4661 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4662 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4663 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4664 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4665 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4666 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4668 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4669 have seen major improvements.
4671 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4672 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4673 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4676 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4678 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4680 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4682 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4683 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4684 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4685 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4686 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4687 you use the --strict option.
4689 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4690 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4691 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4693 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4695 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4696 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4697 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4753 default in the next cycle.
4755 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4757 * new GTask:completed property
4759 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4760 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

4799 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
4800 ===================================
4802 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4803 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4804 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4806 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4807 effective busy state.
4809 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4860 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4862 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4863 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

5314 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
5315 =====================================================
5317 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
5319 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
5320 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
5321 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
5322 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
5323 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
5324 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
5325 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
5326 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
5327 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
5328 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
5329 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
5331 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
5332 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)

5357 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
5358 =====================================================
5360 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
5361 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
5362 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
5363 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
5364 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
5365 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

5620 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5621 ====================================================
5623 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5625 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5627 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5628 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5631 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5632 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5635 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5637 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5639 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5642 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5643 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5645 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5647 * Applications/Actions
5649 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5650 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5653 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5654 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5656 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5657 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5658 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5659 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5663 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5664 accesses that are performed in common situations
5666 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5667 are installed/removed
5669 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5670 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5672 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5673 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5678 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5680 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5681 that test programs don't pick them up
5683 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5685 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5686 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5687 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5688 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5690 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5691 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5693 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5694 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5695 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5699 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5701 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5703 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5705 Translations updated:

5755 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5756 ====================================================
5758 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5762 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5764 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5765 them can restart the application with an action (via
5770 - new API for launching subprocesses
5772 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5774 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5776 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5777 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5779 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5781 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5783 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5784 actions and listing apps and actions
5786 - bash tab completion is supported
5788 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5790 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5791 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5793 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5794 DBusActivatable=true
5796 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5797 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5802 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5804 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5805 class and inotify backend
5807 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5808 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5810 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5815 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5816 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5817 when there are invalid schemas installed
5819 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5823 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5824 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5826 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5829 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5830 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5831 semantics of the interface in each case
5833 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5834 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5836 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5838 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5839 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5840 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5841 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5845 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5848 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5850 * Portability improvements
5852 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5854 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5855 actually support it (like Hurd)
5857 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5859 * Other small API changes/additions
5861 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5862 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5863 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5865 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5867 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5868 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5870 * GMainContext/GSource
5872 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5874 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5875 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5876 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5877 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5878 broken and should probably be fixed.
5880 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5881 require use of a linked list
5885 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5886 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5887 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5889 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5893 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5894 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,

5968 What's new in Glib 2.38
5969 ========================
5971 * Application support
5973 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5974 desktop entry specification
5976 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5977 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5978 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5980 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5981 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5982 to launch other applications
5984 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5985 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5989 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5990 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5991 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5992 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5993 any problems that this may have caused.
5995 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5996 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5997 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5998 (allowing memory savings)
6000 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
6001 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
6002 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
6004 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
6005 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
6008 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
6009 without destroying one of the objects involved
6013 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
6014 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
6015 with a finite number of cases
6017 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
6018 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
6020 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
6021 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
6022 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
6023 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
6026 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
6030 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
6031 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
6032 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
6034 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
6036 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
6037 and an API to check them
6039 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
6040 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
6042 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
6043 with most functions, but this is not recommended
6047 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
6048 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
6049 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
6052 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
6053 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
6054 particular directory (akin to 'du').
6056 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
6061 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
6062 allow for regexp matching on streams
6064 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
6065 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
6066 g_variant_new_printf()
6070 - we can now generate TAP output
6072 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
6073 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
6075 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
6080 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

6205 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
6206 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
6207 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
6208 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
6210 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
6211 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

6279 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
6280 build the unmodified source
6282 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
6284 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
6285 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
6286 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
6293 698375 - D-Bus async properties

6301 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
6302 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
6304 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
6305 and will trigger a warning.
6308 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

6342 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
6343 ==============================================
6345 * add support for installed tests:
6346 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
6348 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
6349 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
6351 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
6353 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
6355 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
6356 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
6357 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
6359 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

6390 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
6391 ==============================================
6393 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6394 and a parser API for them is now provided
6396 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6397 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6398 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

6446 * Translation updates:
6458 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6459 ==============================================
6461 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6462 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6463 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6464 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6465 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6466 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6467 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6468 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6469 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6471 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6472 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6473 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6474 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6475 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6477 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6478 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6479 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6480 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6481 anyone was using it.
6483 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6485 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6486 the destination file
6488 - fix some 'available since' annotations
6490 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
6493 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
6494 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
6496 * Translations updated:
6512 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6513 ==============================================
6515 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6516 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6517 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6518 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

6572 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6573 ==============================================
6575 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6576 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6577 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6578 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6579 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
6583 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
6584 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
6586 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
6587 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
6588 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
6589 * documentation fixes
6590 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
6593 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

6607 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
6608 ==============================================
6610 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
6612 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
6613 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
6615 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
6616 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
6618 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
6631 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
6632 ==============================================
6634 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
6637 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
6638 ready at a specified monotonic time
6640 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
6642 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
6645 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
6646 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

6744 * Translation updates:
6759 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6760 ==============================================
6762 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6763 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6764 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6765 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6766 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6768 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6769 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6770 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6771 particular, are incompatible.
6773 * Bugs fixed in this release:

6807 * Translation updates:
6818 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6819 ==============================================
6821 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6822 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6823 causing regressions in applications.
6825 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6826 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6827 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6830 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6831 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6832 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6834 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6836 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6838 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6840 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6842 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6844 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6846 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6848 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6850 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6852 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

7463 * Updated translations:
7490 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7491 ===============================================
7493 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7494 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7495 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7498 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7499 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7500 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7501 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7502 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7503 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7504 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7506 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7507 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7508 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7509 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7510 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7512 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7514 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7516 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7517 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7518 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7519 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7522 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7523 such programs to break.
7525 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7526 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7527 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7529 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7530 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7532 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7534 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7796 ==============================================
7799 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7800 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7801 to an overridden property
7802 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7803 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7805 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7806 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
7808 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

7850 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7851 ==============================================
7853 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7854 moved to GtkApplication.
7856 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7857 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7858 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7859 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7861 * lots of documentation improvements
7863 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7865 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7866 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7868 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7870 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7872 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7874 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7875 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7878 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7879 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
7880 664699 glib: documentation fixes

7882 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
7883 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7884 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

7887 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
7888 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
7890 * Translations updated:
7894 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7895 ==============================================
7897 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7898 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7899 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7902 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7903 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7904 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7907 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7908 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7909 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7910 through an idle on the context.
7912 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7913 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7914 fixes here and there.
7916 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7917 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7918 API available outside GLib
7920 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7961 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7962 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7963 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7965 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7968 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7969 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

7984 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7985 =================================================
7987 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7988 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7990 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7991 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7992 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7993 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7994 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7995 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7996 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7997 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7998 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7999 required (and has been deprecated)
8000 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
8001 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
8002 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
8003 without explicit initialisation.
8004 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
8005 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
8006 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
8008 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
8009 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
8010 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
8011 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
8012 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
8013 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
8014 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
8016 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
8017 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
8018 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
8019 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
8020 - GThread is now a refcounted type
8021 - other implementation details changed
8023 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
8024 deprecated/ directory.
8026 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
8027 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
8028 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
8030 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
8031 platform over a year ago).
8033 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
8034 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
8036 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
8037 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
8039 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
8040 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
8041 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
8042 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
8045 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
8046 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
8049 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
8051 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
8052 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
8054 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
8055 in a multi-threaded program
8057 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
8058 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
8061 - drop -uninstalled variants
8062 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
8064 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
8065 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
8066 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
8068 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
8070 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
8071 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
8074 - many code generation updates and improvements
8075 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
8078 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
8079 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
8081 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
8083 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
8086 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
8087 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
8089 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
8090 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
8092 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
8094 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
8098 * Partial list of bugs closed:
8099 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

8183 Brazilian Portuguese
8210 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
8211 ================================================
8213 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
8214 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
8215 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
8216 GObject depends on libffi now.
8219 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
8220 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
8222 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
8223 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
8224 - check if -lsocket is needed
8225 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
8227 - fix some harmless warnings
8229 * GDateTime improvements:
8230 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
8231 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
8232 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
8233 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
8234 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
8235 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks
8237 * GTlsInteraction: add interaction method invocation guarantees
8239 * gdbus-codegen: post-process all interfaces when parsing >1 file
8241 * make GMainLoop, GMainContext and GSource boxed types
8243 * fix a race condition in the first use of g_get_monotonic_time()
8245 * lots gtk-doc cleanups
8247 * better intltool compatibility when generating pot file
8249 * avoid GCC-specific compiler options when not using GCC
8251 * Translation updates:
8253 Brazilian Portuguese
8264 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.16 to 2.29.18
8265 ================================================
8267 * GDateTime is now respecting LC_TIME when formatting
8269 * GTimeZoneMonitor has been removed again
8271 * A new API for wallclock functionality has been added:
8272 g_date_time_source_new(). This API is still experimental
8273 and may be changed or removed before 2.30.

8393 - sleep longer in a test case, if needed to avoid failing
8395 * Units policy change: prefer use of SI units
8396 - deprecate g_format_size_for_display, add g_format_size(_full)
8398 * GSettings: don't call g_error() when the schema is missing

8530 ==============================================
8532 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8533 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8534 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8535 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8536 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8537 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8539 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8540 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8542 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8544 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

8597 * Updated translations:
8606 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8607 ==============================================
8610 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8611 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8612 an 'object manager' pattern:
8613 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8614 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8615 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8616 And server-side implementations:
8617 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8618 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8619 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8623 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8627 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8628 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8629 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8630 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8633 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8634 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8637 * Unix-specific APIs:
8638 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8639 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8640 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8641 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8642 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8643 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8667 * Updated translations
8674 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8675 ==============================================
8678 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8679 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8680 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8683 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8684 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8685 situations has been improved
8688 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8689 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8692 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8693 match strcmp() semantics
8694 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8695 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8696 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8698 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8699 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8702 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8704 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8706 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8707 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8708 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8992 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8993 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8998 g_get_monotonic_time
9000 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
9003 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
9005 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

9042 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
9043 - Support environment passing
9046 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
9047 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
9049 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
9050 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
9051 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
9055 158725 free linked list with data

9068 * Translation updates:
9074 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
9075 ==============================================
9077 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
9078 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
9080 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
9081 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
9083 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
9085 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
9087 g_settings_get_range
9088 g_settings_range_check
9089 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
9091 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
9092 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
9094 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
9095 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
9097 g_main_context_invoke
9098 g_main_context_invoke_full
9100 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
9101 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
9102 looking for default applications.
9104 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
9105 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
9106 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
9107 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
9109 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
9110 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
9111 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

9369 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
9370 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9372 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
9373 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
9374 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
9375 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
9378 There have been many other improvements, however:
9381 - vastly improved test coverage
9382 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
9383 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

9433 =====================================================
9435 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9436 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
9437 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
9438 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
9439 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9440 | required (and will be along soon). |
9441 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9444 - cleanup automake setup
9445 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
9446 - various docs fixups
9447 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
9448 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')

9453 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
9454 - add g_settings_reset()
9455 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
9458 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
9459 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
9460 - proper support for file descriptor passing
9461 - new flags parameter for sending messages
9462 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
9463 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
9464 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
9465 - constness fixes for introspection structures
9466 - clean ups to subtree registration API
9469 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

9472 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
9473 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
9474 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
9477 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

9502 =====================================================
9504 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9505 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9506 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9507 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9508 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9511 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9512 -Bsymbolic-functions
9513 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9514 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9515 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9516 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9517 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9520 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9521 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9522 nobody was doing that.
9523 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9525 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9526 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9528 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9529 have a serial number
9530 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9532 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9534 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9535 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9536 has finished running on GDBus services.
9537 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9538 this due to the obvious race)
9539 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9540 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9543 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9544 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9545 arguments and different behaviour
9546 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9547 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9548 strings instead of utf8 strings
9549 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9550 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9551 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9552 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9553 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9554 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9555 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9556 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9557 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9560 - improved documentation
9561 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9562 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9563 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9564 overridden using <override>.
9565 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9567 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9568 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9569 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9570 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9571 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9572 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9573 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9574 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9575 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9576 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9577 being set due to a premature free
9578 - command line tool: bash completion support
9579 - chain up in _finalize
9580 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9582 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9583 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9584 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9586 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9587 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9588 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9589 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9590 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9594 - always intern GBinding prop names
9595 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9596 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9597 - GNode docs improvements
9598 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9599 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9600 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
9604 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9605 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9606 - improved tests for GKeyfile
9607 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9608 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9609 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9610 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9611 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9613 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9614 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9615 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9616 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9617 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9618 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9619 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9620 610784 array test failing

10020 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
10021 ===================================================
10023 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
10024 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
10025 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
10026 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
10027 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
10029 * Translation updates:
10036 Traditional Chinese
10039 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
10040 ===================================================
10042 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
10043 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
10044 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
10045 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
10047 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10048 when g_type_init() is called.
10050 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
10051 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
10052 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
10054 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
10055 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
10056 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
10057 is a bug in application code.

10118 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
10121 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
10122 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
10123 - The parser will be in a future release.
10126 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
10127 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
10128 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a
10132 609531 missing licence headers

10167 * GVariant: The core of GVariant has been merged now, with some
10168 API still to follow.
10171 - There is a new interface GFileDescriptorBased for file descriptor
10172 based IO. GLocalFile{Input,Output}Stream implement it
10173 - Use splice(2) to transfer data between file descriptors without
10175 - Add a way to request move events from file monitors

10229 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
10231 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
10233 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
10234 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
10235 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
10237 * Threading changes:
10238 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
10239 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
10241 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10242 when g_type_init() is called.
10243 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
10246 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
10249 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

10321 ===================================================
10324 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
10325 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
10326 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
10327 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
10328 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10329 while loading or saving it.
10330 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
10331 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
10332 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
10335 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
10336 interfaces to dynamic types.
10339 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
10340 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
10341 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10702 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
10703 for actual socket I/O.
10704 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving

10783 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10784 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10785 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10786 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10787 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10788 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10789 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10790 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10791 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10792 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10793 object with the given URI.
10795 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316

11075 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
11076 ===================================================
11078 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
11079 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
11080 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
11081 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
11082 also uses less memory overall.
11084 * Make g_poll available as public api
11086 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
11087 that a GError is set or unset
11089 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
11091 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
11092 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
11094 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
11095 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11172 ===================================================
11174 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
11175 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
11176 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
11177 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
11178 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
11179 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12501 ===================================================

12506 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
12508 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
12511 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12512 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12514 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12517 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12518 ==================================================
12520 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12521 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12522 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12523 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12525 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12526 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12528 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12529 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12532 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12533 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12534 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12535 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12536 support ELF visibility attributes.
12538 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12539 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12541 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12542 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12543 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12544 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12545 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12546 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12547 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12548 to help with the transition.

12706 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12707 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12710 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12713 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12714 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12715 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12716 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12717 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12718 variants [Martyn Russell]
12721 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12722 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]

12731 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12732 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12733 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an

12749 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12750 =================================================
12752 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12753 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12754 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12756 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12757 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12760 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12761 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12762 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12763 "stutter stepping".
12764 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12766 * Memory management:
12767 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12768 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12769 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12770 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12771 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12772 never worked as intended.
12773 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12774 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12775 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12776 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12777 efficient and scalable implementation.
12778 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12780 * Pattern matching:
12781 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12782 unnecessary recursion.
12785 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12786 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12787 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12790 * g_thread_foreach:
12791 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12794 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12795 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12796 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12800 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12801 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12802 since they are in glib.h

12821 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
12823 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
12824 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

12981 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12982 =================================================
12984 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12985 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12986 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12987 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12988 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12989 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12990 included through <glib.h>.
12992 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12993 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12994 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12995 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12996 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12998 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12999 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
13000 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
13001 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
13002 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
13004 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
13005 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
13006 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
13007 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
13009 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
13010 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
13011 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
13013 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
13014 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
13015 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
13016 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
13017 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
13018 header files and were never intended to be exported.
13020 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
13021 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
13022 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
13023 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
13025 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
13026 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
13027 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
13028 stderr if you need to see them.
13030 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
13031 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
13032 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
13033 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
13034 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
13035 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
13037 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
13038 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
13039 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
13040 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
13041 work with future versions of GLib.
13044 - GOption, a commandline option parser
13045 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
13046 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
13047 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
13048 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
13050 * Miscellaneous new functions
13051 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
13052 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
13053 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
13054 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
