318 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
319 ==================================
321 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
322 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
323 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
324 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
326 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
327 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
328 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
330 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
331 environment variable.

334 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

479 * Translation updates:
491 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
492 ==================================
494 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
495 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
496 is unavailable or undesired.
498 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
499 glib-networking will also be required.
501 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the

553 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
554 ==================================
556 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
557 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
558 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
559 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
561 This release corrects only this problem.
563 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
564 ==================================
566 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
567 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
568 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
570 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

916 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
917 ==================================
919 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
920 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
921 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
922 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
923 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
924 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
926 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
927 have seen major improvements.
929 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
930 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
931 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
934 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
936 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
938 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
940 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
941 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
942 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
943 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
944 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
945 you use the --strict option.
947 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
948 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
949 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
951 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
953 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
954 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
955 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1001 ===================================
1003 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1004 before the release of 2.44.0.
1006 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1008 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1009 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1010 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1011 default in the next cycle.
1013 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1015 * new GTask:completed property
1017 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of

1064 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1065 effective busy state.

1607 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1608 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1863 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1864 ====================================================
1866 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1868 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1870 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1871 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1874 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1875 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1878 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1880 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1882 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1885 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1886 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1888 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1890 * Applications/Actions
1892 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1893 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1896 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1897 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1899 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1900 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1901 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1902 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1906 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1907 accesses that are performed in common situations
1909 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1910 are installed/removed
1912 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1913 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1915 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1916 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1921 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1923 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1924 that test programs don't pick them up
1926 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1928 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1929 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1930 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1931 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1933 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1934 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1936 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1937 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1938 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1942 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1944 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1946 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
1948 Translations updated:

1959 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
1960 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
1961 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key

1966 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
1967 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
1968 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

1998 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1999 ====================================================
2001 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2005 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2007 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2008 them can restart the application with an action (via
2013 - new API for launching subprocesses
2015 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2017 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2019 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2020 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2022 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2024 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2026 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2027 actions and listing apps and actions
2029 - bash tab completion is supported
2031 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2033 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2034 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2036 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2037 DBusActivatable=true
2039 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2040 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2045 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2047 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2048 class and inotify backend
2050 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2051 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2053 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2058 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2059 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2060 when there are invalid schemas installed
2062 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2066 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2067 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2069 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2072 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2073 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2074 semantics of the interface in each case
2076 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2077 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2079 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2081 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2082 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2083 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2084 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2088 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2091 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2093 * Portability improvements
2095 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2097 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2098 actually support it (like Hurd)
2100 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2102 * Other small API changes/additions
2104 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2105 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2106 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2108 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2110 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2111 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2113 * GMainContext/GSource
2115 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2117 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2118 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2119 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2120 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2121 broken and should probably be fixed.
2123 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2124 require use of a linked list
2128 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2129 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2130 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2132 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2136 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2137 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2138 gphoto, archive, at least).
2140 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2142 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2145 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2146 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2147 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2149 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2151 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2153 * Many documentation improvements
2156 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2157 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2158 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2211 What's new in Glib 2.38
2212 ========================
2214 * Application support
2216 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2217 desktop entry specification
2219 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2220 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2221 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2223 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2224 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2225 to launch other applications
2227 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2228 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2232 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2233 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2234 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2235 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2236 any problems that this may have caused.
2238 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2239 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2240 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2241 (allowing memory savings)
2243 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2244 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2245 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2247 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2248 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2251 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2252 without destroying one of the objects involved
2256 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2257 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2258 with a finite number of cases
2260 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2261 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2263 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2264 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2265 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2266 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2269 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2273 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2274 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2275 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2277 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2279 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2280 and an API to check them
2282 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2283 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2285 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2286 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2290 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2291 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2292 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2295 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2296 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2297 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2299 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2304 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2305 allow for regexp matching on streams
2307 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2308 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2309 g_variant_new_printf()
2313 - we can now generate TAP output
2315 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2316 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2318 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2323 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2445 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2446 ==============================================
2448 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2449 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2450 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2451 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2453 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2454 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2457 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2459 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2460 the key was locked down)
2462 * Miscellaneous new api:
2463 - g_variant_new_printf
2464 - g_action_print_detailed_name
2465 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind

2522 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
2523 build the unmodified source
2525 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
2527 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
2528 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
2529 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
2536 698375 - D-Bus async properties
2537 700350 - timestamp issue
2538 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
2539 700035 - new API for instance private data
2541 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
2542 ==============================================
2544 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2545 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2547 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2548 and will trigger a warning.
2551 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation
2553 - Set prgname to appid for services

2585 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
2586 ==============================================
2588 * add support for installed tests:
2589 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
2591 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
2592 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2594 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2596 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2598 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
2599 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
2600 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
2602 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
2618 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()

2634 ==============================================
2636 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2637 and a parser API for them is now provided
2639 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2640 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2641 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2701 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
2702 ==============================================
2704 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
2706 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
2707 the destination file
2709 - fix some 'available since' annotations
2711 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

2717 * Translations updated:
2733 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2734 ==============================================
2736 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2737 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2738 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2739 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2793 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2794 ==============================================
2796 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2797 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2798 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2799 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2800 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
2804 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
2805 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
2807 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
2808 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
2809 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
2810 * documentation fixes
2811 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
2814 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

2828 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
2829 ==============================================
2831 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2833 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2834 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2836 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2837 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2839 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2852 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2853 ==============================================
2855 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2858 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2859 ready at a specified monotonic time
2861 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
2863 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
2866 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
2867 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

2965 * Translation updates:
2980 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2981 ==============================================
2983 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2984 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2985 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2986 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2987 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2989 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2990 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2991 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2992 particular, are incompatible.
2994 * Bugs fixed in this release:
2995 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
2996 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

3039 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3040 ==============================================
3042 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3043 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3044 causing regressions in applications.
3046 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3047 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3048 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3051 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3052 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3053 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3055 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3057 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3059 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3061 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3063 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3065 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3067 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3069 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray

3124 ==============================================
3126 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3127 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3129 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3130 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3132 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3134 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3136 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3138 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3140 * GLib version macros updated
3142 * Update to Unicode 6.2

3967 ==============================================
3970 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3971 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3972 to an overridden property
3973 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3974 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3976 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
3977 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4021 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4022 ==============================================
4024 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4025 moved to GtkApplication.
4027 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4028 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4029 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4030 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4032 * lots of documentation improvements
4034 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4036 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4037 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4039 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4041 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4043 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4045 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4046 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4049 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4050 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4054 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4055 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4056 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4057 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4058 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4059 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4061 * Translations updated:
4065 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4066 ==============================================
4068 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4069 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4070 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4073 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4074 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4075 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4078 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4079 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4080 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4081 through an idle on the context.
4083 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4084 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4085 fixes here and there.
4087 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4088 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4089 API available outside GLib
4091 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4133 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4134 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4136 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4139 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4140 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4155 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4156 =================================================
4158 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4159 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4161 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4162 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4163 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4164 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4165 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4166 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4167 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4168 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4169 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4170 required (and has been deprecated)
4171 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4172 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4173 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4174 without explicit initialisation.
4175 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4176 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4177 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4179 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4180 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4181 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4182 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4183 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4184 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4185 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4187 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4188 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4189 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4190 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4191 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4192 - other implementation details changed
4194 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4195 deprecated/ directory.
4197 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4198 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4199 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4201 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4202 platform over a year ago).
4204 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4205 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4207 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4208 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4210 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4211 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4212 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4213 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4216 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4217 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4220 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4222 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4223 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4225 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()

4696 ==============================================
4698 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4699 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4700 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4701 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4702 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4703 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4705 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4706 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4708 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4710 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4712 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

4773 ==============================================
4776 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4777 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4778 an 'object manager' pattern:
4779 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4780 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4781 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4782 And server-side implementations:
4783 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4784 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4785 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4789 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4793 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4794 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4795 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4796 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4799 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4800 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4803 * Unix-specific APIs:
4804 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4805 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4806 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4807 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4808 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4809 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4833 * Updated translations
4840 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4841 ==============================================
4844 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4845 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4846 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4849 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4850 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4851 situations has been improved
4854 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4855 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4858 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4859 match strcmp() semantics
4860 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4861 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4862 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4864 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4865 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4868 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4870 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4872 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4873 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4874 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5152 ==============================================
5154 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5155 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5160 g_get_monotonic_time
5162 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5165 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5167 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5169 g_simple_async_result_take_error

5205 - Support environment passing
5208 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5209 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5211 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5212 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5213 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5217 158725 free linked list with data

5230 * Translation updates:
5236 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5237 ==============================================
5239 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5240 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5242 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5243 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5245 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5247 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5249 g_settings_get_range
5250 g_settings_range_check
5251 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5253 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5254 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5256 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5257 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5259 g_main_context_invoke
5260 g_main_context_invoke_full
5262 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5263 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5264 looking for default applications.
5266 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5267 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5268 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5269 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5271 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5272 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5273 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5530 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5531 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5532 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5534 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5535 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5536 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5537 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5540 There have been many other improvements, however:
5543 - vastly improved test coverage
5544 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5545 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5546 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5595 =====================================================
5597 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5598 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5599 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5600 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5601 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5602 | required (and will be along soon). |
5603 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5606 - cleanup automake setup
5607 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5608 - various docs fixups

5626 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5627 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5628 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5631 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5663 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5664 =====================================================
5666 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5667 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5668 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5669 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5670 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5673 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5674 -Bsymbolic-functions
5675 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5676 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5677 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5678 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5679 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5682 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5683 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5684 nobody was doing that.
5685 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5687 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5688 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5690 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5691 have a serial number
5692 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5694 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5696 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5697 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5698 has finished running on GDBus services.
5699 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5700 this due to the obvious race)
5701 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5702 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5705 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5706 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5707 arguments and different behaviour
5708 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5709 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5710 strings instead of utf8 strings
5711 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5712 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5713 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5714 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5715 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5716 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5717 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5718 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5719 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5722 - improved documentation
5723 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5724 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5725 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5726 overridden using <override>.
5727 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5729 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5730 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5731 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5732 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5733 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5734 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5735 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5736 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5737 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5738 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5739 being set due to a premature free
5740 - command line tool: bash completion support
5741 - chain up in _finalize
5742 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5744 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5745 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5746 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5748 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5749 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5750 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5751 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5752 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5756 - always intern GBinding prop names
5757 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5758 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5759 - GNode docs improvements
5760 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5761 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5762 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5766 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5767 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5768 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5769 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5770 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5771 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5772 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5773 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5775 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5776 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5777 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5778 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5779 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5780 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5781 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
5782 610784 array test failing
5783 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5784 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
5785 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
5786 622124 implement flags

6476 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6477 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6480 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6481 interfaces to dynamic types.

7208 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

7211 also uses less memory overall.

7216 that a GError is set or unset
7218 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7220 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7221 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7223 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

8884 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
8888 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
8889 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
