241 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
242 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test

306 * Translation updates:
311 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
312 ==================================
314 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
315 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
316 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
317 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
319 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
320 directory for each unit test. (#538)
322 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
324 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
326 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
328 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
329 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
330 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
331 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
333 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
334 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
336 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
337 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
338 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
340 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
342 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
343 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
346 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
347 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
349 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
350 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
351 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
353 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
354 portal backends. (!317)
356 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
359 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
361 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
364 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
366 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
369 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
370 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
371 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
373 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
374 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
376 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
377 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
378 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
379 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
381 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
383 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

592 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
593 ==================================
595 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
596 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
597 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
598 with Meson or autotools. See:
599 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
601 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
603 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
604 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
606 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
608 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
610 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
611 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
612 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
613 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
616 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
617 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
618 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
619 !265 Network monitor again
620 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
621 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
622 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
623 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
624 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
625 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
627 * Translation updates:
637 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
638 ==================================
640 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
641 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
642 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
643 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
645 * Many minor documentation fixes.
647 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
649 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
651 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
653 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
654 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
656 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
658 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
659 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
660 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
663 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
665 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
668 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
669 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

1848 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1849 uses prctl() but the pthread api.

1852 environment variable.
1854 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1855 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

2013 ==================================
2015 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
2016 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
2017 is unavailable or undesired.
2019 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
2020 glib-networking will also be required.
2022 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
2023 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag

2074 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2075 ==================================
2077 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2078 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2079 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2080 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2082 This release corrects only this problem.
2084 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2085 ==================================
2087 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2088 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2089 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2091 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2437 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2438 ==================================
2440 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2441 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2442 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2443 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2444 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2445 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2447 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2448 have seen major improvements.
2450 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2451 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2452 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2455 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2457 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2459 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2461 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2462 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2463 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2464 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2465 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2466 you use the --strict option.
2468 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2469 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2470 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2472 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2474 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2475 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2476 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2522 ===================================
2524 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2525 before the release of 2.44.0.
2527 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2529 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2530 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2531 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2532 default in the next cycle.
2534 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
2536 * new GTask:completed property
2538 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
2539 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

2578 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
2579 ===================================
2581 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
2582 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
2583 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
2585 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
2586 effective busy state.
2588 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

2638 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
2639 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
2641 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
2642 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
2644 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

3093 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
3094 =====================================================
3096 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
3098 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
3102 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
3103 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

3121 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
3122 =====================================================
3124 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
3125 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
3126 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3127 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3128 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition

3377 * Translations updates:
3384 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3385 ====================================================
3387 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3389 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3391 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3392 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3395 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3396 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3399 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3401 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3403 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3406 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3407 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3409 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3411 * Applications/Actions
3413 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3414 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3417 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3418 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3420 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3421 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3422 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3423 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3427 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3428 accesses that are performed in common situations
3430 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3431 are installed/removed
3433 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3434 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3436 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3437 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3442 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3444 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3445 that test programs don't pick them up
3447 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3449 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3450 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3451 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3452 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3454 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3455 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3457 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3458 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3459 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3463 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3465 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3467 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3469 Translations updated:
3477 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3481 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
3482 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key

3485 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

3487 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3488 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3489 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3519 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3520 ====================================================
3522 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3526 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3528 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3529 them can restart the application with an action (via
3534 - new API for launching subprocesses
3536 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3538 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3540 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3541 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3543 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3545 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3547 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3548 actions and listing apps and actions
3550 - bash tab completion is supported
3552 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3554 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3555 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3557 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3558 DBusActivatable=true
3560 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3561 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3566 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3568 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3569 class and inotify backend
3571 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3572 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3574 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3579 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3580 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3581 when there are invalid schemas installed
3583 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3587 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3588 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3590 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3593 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3594 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3595 semantics of the interface in each case
3597 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3598 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3600 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3602 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3603 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3604 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3605 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3609 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3612 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3614 * Portability improvements
3616 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3618 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3619 actually support it (like Hurd)
3621 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3623 * Other small API changes/additions
3625 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3626 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3627 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3629 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3631 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3632 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3634 * GMainContext/GSource
3636 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3638 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3639 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3640 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3641 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3642 broken and should probably be fixed.
3644 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3645 require use of a linked list
3649 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3650 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3651 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3653 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3657 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3658 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3659 gphoto, archive, at least).
3661 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3663 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3666 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3667 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3668 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3670 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3672 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3674 * Many documentation improvements
3677 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3678 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3679 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3732 What's new in Glib 2.38
3733 ========================
3735 * Application support
3737 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3738 desktop entry specification
3740 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3741 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3742 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3744 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3745 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3746 to launch other applications
3748 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3749 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3753 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3754 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3755 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3756 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3757 any problems that this may have caused.
3759 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3760 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3761 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3762 (allowing memory savings)
3764 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3765 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3766 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3768 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3769 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3772 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3773 without destroying one of the objects involved
3777 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3778 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3779 with a finite number of cases
3781 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3782 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3784 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3785 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3786 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3787 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3790 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3794 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3795 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3796 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3798 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3800 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3801 and an API to check them
3803 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3804 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3806 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3807 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3811 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3812 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3813 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3816 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3817 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3818 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3820 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3825 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3826 allow for regexp matching on streams
3828 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3829 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3830 g_variant_new_printf()
3834 - we can now generate TAP output
3836 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3837 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3839 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3844 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3969 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3970 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3971 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3972 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

4154 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
4155 ==============================================
4157 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4158 and a parser API for them is now provided
4160 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4161 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4162 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4314 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4315 ==============================================
4317 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4318 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4319 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4320 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4321 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4325 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4326 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4328 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4329 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4330 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4331 * documentation fixes
4332 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4335 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
4336 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h
4337 692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris
4338 693285 GDBusObjectManagerClient: won't emit object-added|removed if name-owner arrives later
4339 693502 Cross-compiling documentation: typo (np -> no)

4486 * Translation updates:
4501 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4502 ==============================================
4504 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4505 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4506 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4507 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4508 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4510 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4511 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4512 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4513 particular, are incompatible.
4515 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4560 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4561 ==============================================
4563 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4564 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4565 causing regressions in applications.
4567 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4568 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4569 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4572 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4573 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4574 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4576 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4578 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4580 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4582 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4584 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4586 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4588 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4590 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4592 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4594 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4645 ==============================================
4647 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4648 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4650 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4651 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4653 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4655 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

5548 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5549 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5550 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5551 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5553 * lots of documentation improvements
5555 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5557 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5558 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)

5562 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()

5586 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5587 ==============================================
5589 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5590 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5591 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5594 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5595 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5596 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5599 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5600 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5601 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5602 through an idle on the context.
5604 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5605 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5606 fixes here and there.
5608 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5609 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5610 API available outside GLib
5612 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5647 ==============================================
5649 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
5651 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
5653 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
5654 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5655 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5657 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5660 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5661 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
5662 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
5665 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
5666 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

5672 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
5673 - various GIO file and stream fixes
5674 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
5676 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5677 =================================================
5679 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5680 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5682 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5683 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5684 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5685 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5686 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5687 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5688 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5689 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5690 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5691 required (and has been deprecated)
5692 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5693 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5694 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5695 without explicit initialisation.
5696 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5697 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5698 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5700 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5701 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5702 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5703 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5704 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5705 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5706 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5708 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5709 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5710 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5711 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5712 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5713 - other implementation details changed
5715 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5716 deprecated/ directory.
5718 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5719 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5720 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5722 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5723 platform over a year ago).
5725 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5726 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5728 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5729 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5731 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5732 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5733 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5734 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5737 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5738 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5741 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5743 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5744 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5746 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5747 in a multi-threaded program
5749 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5750 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5753 - drop -uninstalled variants
5754 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5756 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5757 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5758 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5760 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5762 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5763 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5766 - many code generation updates and improvements
5767 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5770 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5771 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5773 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5775 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5778 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5779 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5781 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5782 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5784 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5786 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5790 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5791 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6216 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6217 ==============================================
6219 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6220 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6221 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6222 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6223 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6224 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6226 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6227 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6229 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6231 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6233 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

6284 * Updated translations:
6293 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6294 ==============================================
6297 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6298 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6299 an 'object manager' pattern:
6300 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6301 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6302 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6303 And server-side implementations:
6304 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6305 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6306 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6310 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6314 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6315 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6316 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6317 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6320 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6321 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6324 * Unix-specific APIs:
6325 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6326 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6327 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6328 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6329 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6330 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6354 * Updated translations
6361 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6362 ==============================================
6365 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6366 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6367 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6370 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6371 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6372 situations has been improved
6375 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6376 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6379 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6380 match strcmp() semantics
6381 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6382 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6383 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6385 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6386 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6389 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6391 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6393 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6394 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6395 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6721 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
6722 ==============================================
6725 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6726 - Support environment passing
6729 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6730 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6732 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6733 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6734 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6738 158725 free linked list with data
6739 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
6740 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

6749 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
6751 * Translation updates:
6757 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6758 ==============================================
6760 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6761 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6763 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6764 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6766 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6768 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6770 g_settings_get_range
6771 g_settings_range_check
6772 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6774 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6775 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6777 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6778 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6780 g_main_context_invoke
6781 g_main_context_invoke_full
6783 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6784 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6785 looking for default applications.
6787 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6788 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6789 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6790 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6792 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6793 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6794 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

7049 =====================================================
7051 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7052 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7053 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7055 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7056 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7057 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7058 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7061 There have been many other improvements, however:
7064 - vastly improved test coverage
7065 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7066 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7067 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
7070 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

7115 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
7116 =====================================================
7118 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7119 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7120 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7121 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7122 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7123 | required (and will be along soon). |
7124 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7127 - cleanup automake setup
7128 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7129 - various docs fixups
7130 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7136 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
7137 - add g_settings_reset()
7138 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
7141 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
7142 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
7143 - proper support for file descriptor passing
7144 - new flags parameter for sending messages
7145 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
7146 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
7147 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7148 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7149 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7152 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7155 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
7156 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
7157 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
7160 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
7161 617483 Credentials passing

7184 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7185 =====================================================
7187 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7188 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7189 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7190 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7191 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7194 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7195 -Bsymbolic-functions
7196 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7197 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7198 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7199 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7200 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7203 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7204 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7205 nobody was doing that.
7206 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7208 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7209 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7211 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7212 have a serial number
7213 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7215 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7217 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7218 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7219 has finished running on GDBus services.
7220 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7221 this due to the obvious race)
7222 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7223 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7226 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7227 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7228 arguments and different behaviour
7229 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7230 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7231 strings instead of utf8 strings
7232 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7233 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7234 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7235 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7236 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7237 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7238 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7239 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7240 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7243 - improved documentation
7244 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7245 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7246 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7247 overridden using <override>.
7248 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7250 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7251 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7252 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7253 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7254 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7255 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7256 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7257 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7258 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7259 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7260 being set due to a premature free
7261 - command line tool: bash completion support
7262 - chain up in _finalize
7263 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7265 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7266 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7267 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7269 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7270 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7271 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7272 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7273 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7277 - always intern GBinding prop names
7278 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7279 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7280 - GNode docs improvements
7281 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7282 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7283 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7287 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7288 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7289 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7290 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7291 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7292 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7293 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7294 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7296 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7297 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7298 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7299 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7300 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7301 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7302 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
7303 610784 array test failing
7304 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

7987 ===================================================
7990 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7991 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7992 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7993 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7994 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7995 while loading or saving it.
7996 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7997 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7998 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8001 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8002 interfaces to dynamic types.
8005 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
8006 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
8007 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

8725 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
8726 ===================================================
8728 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
8729 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
8730 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
8731 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
8732 also uses less memory overall.
8734 * Make g_poll available as public api
8736 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
8737 that a GError is set or unset
8739 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
8741 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8742 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8744 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
8745 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10325 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
10326 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10327 variants [Martyn Russell]

10358 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
10359 =================================================
10361 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10362 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10363 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10365 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10366 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10369 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10370 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10371 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10372 "stutter stepping".
10373 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10375 * Memory management:
10376 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10377 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10378 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10379 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10380 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10381 never worked as intended.
10382 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10383 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10384 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10385 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10386 efficient and scalable implementation.
10387 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10389 * Pattern matching:
10390 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10391 unnecessary recursion.
10394 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10395 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10396 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10399 * g_thread_foreach:
10400 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10403 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10404 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10405 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10409 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10410 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10411 since they are in glib.h
