366 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
367 ==================================
369 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
370 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
371 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
372 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
374 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
375 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
376 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
378 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
379 environment variable.

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

542 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
543 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
544 is unavailable or undesired.
546 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
547 glib-networking will also be required.

601 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
602 ==================================
604 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
605 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
606 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
607 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
609 This release corrects only this problem.
611 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
612 ==================================
614 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
615 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
616 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
618 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

964 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
965 ==================================
967 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
968 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
969 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
970 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
971 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
972 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
974 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
975 have seen major improvements.
977 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
978 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
979 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
982 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
984 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
986 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
988 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
989 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
990 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
991 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
992 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
993 you use the --strict option.
995 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
996 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
997 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
999 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1001 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1002 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1003 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1049 ===================================
1051 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1052 before the release of 2.44.0.
1054 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1056 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1057 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1058 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1059 default in the next cycle.
1061 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1655 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1656 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1911 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1912 ====================================================
1914 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1916 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1918 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1919 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1922 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1923 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1926 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1928 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1930 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1933 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1934 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1936 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1938 * Applications/Actions
1940 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1941 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1944 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1945 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1947 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1948 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1949 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1950 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1954 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1955 accesses that are performed in common situations
1957 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1958 are installed/removed
1960 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1961 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1963 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1964 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1969 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1971 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1972 that test programs don't pick them up
1974 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1976 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1977 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1978 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1979 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1981 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1982 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1984 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1985 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1986 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1990 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1992 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1994 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
1996 Translations updated:

2014 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2015 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2016 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2046 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2047 ====================================================
2049 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2053 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2055 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2056 them can restart the application with an action (via
2061 - new API for launching subprocesses
2063 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2065 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2067 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2068 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2070 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2072 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2074 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2075 actions and listing apps and actions
2077 - bash tab completion is supported
2079 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2081 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2082 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2084 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2085 DBusActivatable=true
2087 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2088 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2093 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2095 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2096 class and inotify backend
2098 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2099 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2101 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2106 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2107 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2108 when there are invalid schemas installed
2110 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2114 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2115 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2117 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2120 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2121 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2122 semantics of the interface in each case
2124 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2125 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2127 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2129 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2130 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2131 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2132 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2136 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2139 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2141 * Portability improvements
2143 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2145 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2146 actually support it (like Hurd)
2148 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2150 * Other small API changes/additions
2152 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2153 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2154 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2156 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2158 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2159 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2161 * GMainContext/GSource
2163 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2165 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2166 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2167 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2168 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2169 broken and should probably be fixed.
2171 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2172 require use of a linked list
2176 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2177 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2178 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2180 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2184 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2185 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2186 gphoto, archive, at least).
2188 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2190 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2193 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2194 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2195 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2197 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2199 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2201 * Many documentation improvements
2204 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2205 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2206 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2259 What's new in Glib 2.38
2260 ========================
2262 * Application support
2264 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2265 desktop entry specification
2267 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2268 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2269 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2271 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2272 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2273 to launch other applications
2275 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2276 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2280 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2281 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2282 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2283 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2284 any problems that this may have caused.
2286 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2287 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2288 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2289 (allowing memory savings)
2291 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2292 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2293 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2295 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2296 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2299 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2300 without destroying one of the objects involved
2304 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2305 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2306 with a finite number of cases
2308 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2309 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2311 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2312 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2313 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2314 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2317 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2321 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2322 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2323 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2325 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2327 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2328 and an API to check them
2330 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2331 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2333 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2334 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2338 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2339 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2340 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2343 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2344 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2345 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2347 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2352 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2353 allow for regexp matching on streams
2355 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2356 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2357 g_variant_new_printf()
2361 - we can now generate TAP output
2363 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2364 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2366 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2371 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library
2373 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.93 to 2.38.0
2374 ================================================
2376 * fix the documentation for GSourceFuncs
2378 * fix compilation on OS X/ppc64

2593 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2595 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2596 and will trigger a warning.

2644 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2646 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

2681 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2682 ==============================================
2684 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2685 and a parser API for them is now provided
2687 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2688 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2689 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2781 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2782 ==============================================
2784 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2785 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
2786 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
2787 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

2841 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
2842 ==============================================
2844 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
2845 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
2846 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
2847 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2848 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

2876 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
2877 ==============================================
2879 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2881 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2882 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2884 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2885 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.

3031 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3032 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3033 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3034 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3035 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3037 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3038 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3039 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3040 particular, are incompatible.
3042 * Bugs fixed in this release:
3043 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
3044 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

3087 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3088 ==============================================
3090 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3091 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3092 causing regressions in applications.
3094 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3095 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3096 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3099 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3100 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3101 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3103 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3105 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3107 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3109 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3111 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3113 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3115 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3117 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3119 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3121 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3138 677062 (partial) GVariant: Make g_variant_new_from_bytes() public, add more GBytes API
3139 686185 g_date_time_format Transcoding Fails on OSX
3140 686191 g_mutex_get_impl() should use g_atomic_pointer_get()
3141 686797 Box GPollFD to make it introspectable
3142 686810 [regression] Infinite wait in g_task_run_in_thread_sync()

3154 687516 typo in string: KB should be kB
3155 687540 In Trash folder, Nautilus misinterprets "\n" in filename as a line break

3174 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3175 give feedback if they cause trouble:

3178 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

4018 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4019 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4020 to an overridden property
4021 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4022 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4024 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

4069 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4070 ==============================================
4072 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4073 moved to GtkApplication.
4075 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4076 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4077 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4078 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4080 * lots of documentation improvements
4082 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4084 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4085 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4087 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4089 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4091 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4093 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4094 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4097 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4098 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4106 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4107 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4109 * Translations updated:
4113 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4114 ==============================================
4116 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4117 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4118 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4121 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4122 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4123 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4126 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4127 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4128 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4129 through an idle on the context.
4131 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4132 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4133 fixes here and there.
4135 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4136 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4137 API available outside GLib
4139 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4181 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4182 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4184 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

4203 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4204 =================================================
4206 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4207 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4209 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4210 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4211 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4212 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4213 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4214 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4215 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4216 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4217 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4218 required (and has been deprecated)
4219 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4220 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4221 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4222 without explicit initialisation.
4223 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4224 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4225 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4227 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4228 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4229 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4230 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4231 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4232 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4233 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4235 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4236 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4237 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4238 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4239 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4240 - other implementation details changed
4242 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4243 deprecated/ directory.
4245 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4246 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4247 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4249 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4250 platform over a year ago).
4252 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4253 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4255 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4256 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4258 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4259 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4260 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4261 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4264 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4265 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4268 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4270 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4271 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4273 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4274 in a multi-threaded program
4276 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4277 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4280 - drop -uninstalled variants
4281 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4283 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4284 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4285 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4287 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4289 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4290 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4293 - many code generation updates and improvements
4294 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4297 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4298 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4300 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4302 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4305 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4306 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4308 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4309 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4311 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4313 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4317 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4318 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4743 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4744 ==============================================
4746 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4747 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4748 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4749 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4750 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4751 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4753 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4754 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4756 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4758 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4760 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

4820 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
4821 ==============================================
4824 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
4825 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
4826 an 'object manager' pattern:
4827 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
4828 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
4829 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
4830 And server-side implementations:
4831 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
4832 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
4833 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
4837 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
4841 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
4842 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
4843 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
4844 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
4847 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4848 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4851 * Unix-specific APIs:
4852 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4853 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4854 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4855 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4856 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4857 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4881 * Updated translations
4888 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4889 ==============================================
4892 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4893 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4894 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4897 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4898 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4899 situations has been improved
4902 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4903 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4906 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4907 match strcmp() semantics
4908 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4909 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4910 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4912 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4913 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4916 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4918 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4920 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4921 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4922 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5200 ==============================================
5202 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5203 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5208 g_get_monotonic_time
5210 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5213 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5215 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5217 g_simple_async_result_take_error

5252 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5253 - Support environment passing
5256 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5257 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5259 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5260 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5261 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5265 158725 free linked list with data
5266 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

5275 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5276 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5278 * Translation updates:
5284 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5285 ==============================================
5287 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5288 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5290 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5291 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5293 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5295 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5297 g_settings_get_range
5298 g_settings_range_check
5299 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5301 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5302 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5304 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5305 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5307 g_main_context_invoke
5308 g_main_context_invoke_full
5310 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5311 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5312 looking for default applications.
5314 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5315 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5316 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5317 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5319 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5320 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5321 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5579 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5580 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5582 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5583 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5584 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5585 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5588 There have been many other improvements, however:
5591 - vastly improved test coverage
5592 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5593 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5594 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5642 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
5643 =====================================================
5645 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5646 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5647 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5648 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5649 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5650 | required (and will be along soon). |
5651 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5654 - cleanup automake setup
5655 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5656 - various docs fixups
5657 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5674 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5675 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5676 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5679 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5711 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
5712 =====================================================
5714 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5715 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5716 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5717 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5718 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5721 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5722 -Bsymbolic-functions
5723 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5724 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5725 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5726 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5727 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5730 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5731 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5732 nobody was doing that.
5733 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5735 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5736 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5738 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5739 have a serial number
5740 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5742 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5744 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5745 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5746 has finished running on GDBus services.
5747 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5748 this due to the obvious race)
5749 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5750 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5753 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5754 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5755 arguments and different behaviour
5756 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5757 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5758 strings instead of utf8 strings
5759 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5760 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5761 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5762 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5763 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5764 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5765 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5766 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5767 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5770 - improved documentation
5771 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5772 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5773 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5774 overridden using <override>.
5775 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5777 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5778 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5779 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5780 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5781 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5782 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5783 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5784 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5785 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5786 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5787 being set due to a premature free
5788 - command line tool: bash completion support
5789 - chain up in _finalize
5790 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5792 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5793 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5794 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5796 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5797 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5798 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5799 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5800 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5804 - always intern GBinding prop names
5805 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5806 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5807 - GNode docs improvements
5808 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5809 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5810 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5814 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5815 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
5816 - improved tests for GKeyfile
5817 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
5818 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
5819 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
5820 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
5821 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
5823 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
5824 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
5825 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5826 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
5827 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
5828 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
5829 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
5830 610784 array test failing
5831 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5832 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
5833 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
5834 622124 implement flags
5835 622127 GSettings extended key validation
5836 622128 retry with default value for failed mapping
5837 622294 More annotations for GVariant

6517 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6518 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6519 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6520 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6521 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6522 while loading or saving it.
6523 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6524 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6525 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6528 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6529 interfaces to dynamic types.

7256 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

7259 also uses less memory overall.

7268 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7269 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7271 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
