706 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
707 ==================================
709 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
710 which makes error checking easier (#553)
712 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
713 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
714 variables, or mostly anything else (see
715 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
717 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
718 Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)
720 * Add `g_assert_cmpstrv()` test convenience function (work by Niels De Graef) (#2015)

723 normalization flag in `GUri` (work by Carlos Garcia Campos) (#2257, !1716)
725 * Add new `--run-prefix` and `--skip-prefix` options to GTest, to allow running
726 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
728 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
729 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
730 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
731 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
732 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
733 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1857 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
1858 ==================================
1860 * Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
1862 - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
1863 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
1864 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
1865 - `g_array_binary_search()`
1867 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
1869 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
1870 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1871 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1873 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1874 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1876 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1877 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1879 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1880 third-party code should now be using
1881 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
1883 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
1885 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
1887 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
1890 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
1892 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
1893 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
1895 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1897 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1899 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1900 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1902 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1904 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1905 of packaged libraries (!951)
1907 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

2379 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2380 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2381 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

2449 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2450 ==================================
2452 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2453 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2454 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2455 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2457 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2458 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2460 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2462 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2464 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2466 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2467 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2468 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2469 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2471 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2472 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2474 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2475 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2476 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2478 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2480 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2481 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2484 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2485 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2487 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2488 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2489 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2491 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2492 portal backends. (!317)
2494 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2497 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2499 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2502 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2504 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2507 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2508 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2509 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2511 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2512 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2514 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2515 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2516 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2517 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2519 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2521 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2730 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2731 ==================================
2733 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2734 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2735 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2736 with Meson or autotools. See:
2737 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2739 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2741 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2742 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2744 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2746 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2748 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2749 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2750 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2751 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2754 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2755 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2756 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2757 !265 Network monitor again
2758 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2759 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2760 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2761 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2762 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2763 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2765 * Translation updates:
2775 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2776 ==================================
2778 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2779 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2780 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2781 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2783 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2785 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2787 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2789 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2791 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2792 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2794 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2796 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2797 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2798 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2801 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2803 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2806 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2807 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2808 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
2809 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
2810 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback

4216 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
4217 ==================================
4219 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
4220 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
4221 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
4222 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
4224 This release corrects only this problem.
4226 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
4227 ==================================
4229 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
4230 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
4231 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
4233 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4322 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4323 ==================================
4325 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4326 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4327 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4328 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4329 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4332 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4333 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4334 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4335 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4336 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4337 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4338 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4594 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4595 ==================================
4597 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4598 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4599 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4600 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4601 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4602 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4604 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4605 have seen major improvements.
4607 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4608 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4609 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4612 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4614 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4616 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4618 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4619 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4620 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4621 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4622 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4623 you use the --strict option.
4625 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4626 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4627 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4629 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4631 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4632 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4633 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4679 ===================================
4681 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4682 before the release of 2.44.0.
4684 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4686 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4687 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4688 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4689 default in the next cycle.

4792 ==================================
4794 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4795 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce

5250 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
5251 =====================================================
5253 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
5255 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
5256 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
5257 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
5258 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
5259 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
5260 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
5261 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
5262 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
5263 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
5264 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
5265 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
5267 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
5268 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
5270 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
5274 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
5275 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

5293 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
5294 =====================================================
5296 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
5297 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
5298 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
5299 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
5300 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
5301 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
5303 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
5306 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken
5307 673607 invalid assumption in g_cond_wait_until() / g_get_monotonic_time() API

5549 * Translations updates:
5556 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5557 ====================================================
5559 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5561 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5563 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5564 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5567 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5568 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5571 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5573 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5575 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5578 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5579 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5581 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5583 * Applications/Actions
5585 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5586 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5589 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5590 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5592 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5593 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5594 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5595 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5599 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5600 accesses that are performed in common situations
5602 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5603 are installed/removed
5605 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5606 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5608 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5609 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5614 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5616 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5617 that test programs don't pick them up
5619 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5621 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5622 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5623 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5624 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5626 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5627 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5629 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5630 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5631 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5635 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5637 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5639 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5641 Translations updated:
5649 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

5657 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

5660 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
5661 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

5691 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5692 ====================================================
5694 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5698 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5700 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5701 them can restart the application with an action (via
5706 - new API for launching subprocesses
5708 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5710 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5712 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5713 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5715 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5717 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5719 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5720 actions and listing apps and actions
5722 - bash tab completion is supported
5724 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5726 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5727 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5729 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5730 DBusActivatable=true
5732 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5733 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5738 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5740 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5741 class and inotify backend
5743 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5744 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5746 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5751 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5752 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5753 when there are invalid schemas installed
5755 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5759 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5760 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5762 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5765 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5766 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5767 semantics of the interface in each case
5769 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5770 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5772 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5774 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5775 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5776 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5777 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5781 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5784 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5786 * Portability improvements
5788 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5790 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5791 actually support it (like Hurd)
5793 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5795 * Other small API changes/additions
5797 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5798 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5799 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5801 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5803 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5804 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5806 * GMainContext/GSource
5808 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5810 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5811 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5812 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5813 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5814 broken and should probably be fixed.
5816 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5817 require use of a linked list
5821 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5822 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5823 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5825 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5829 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5830 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5831 gphoto, archive, at least).
5833 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5835 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5838 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5839 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5840 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5842 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5844 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5846 * Many documentation improvements
5849 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

5904 What's new in Glib 2.38
5905 ========================
5907 * Application support
5909 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5910 desktop entry specification
5912 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5913 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5914 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5916 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5917 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5918 to launch other applications
5920 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5921 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5925 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5926 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5927 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5928 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5929 any problems that this may have caused.
5931 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5932 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5933 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5934 (allowing memory savings)
5936 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5937 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5938 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5940 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5941 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5944 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5945 without destroying one of the objects involved
5949 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5950 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5951 with a finite number of cases
5953 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5954 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5956 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5957 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5958 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5959 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5962 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5966 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5967 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5968 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5970 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5972 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5973 and an API to check them
5975 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5976 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5978 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5979 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5983 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5984 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5985 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5988 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5989 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5990 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5992 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5997 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5998 allow for regexp matching on streams
6000 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
6001 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
6002 g_variant_new_printf()
6006 - we can now generate TAP output
6008 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
6009 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
6011 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
6016 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

6141 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
6142 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
6143 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
6144 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
6146 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
6147 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

6215 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
6216 build the unmodified source
6218 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
6220 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
6221 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
6222 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
6229 698375 - D-Bus async properties

6235 ==============================================
6237 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
6238 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
6240 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
6241 and will trigger a warning.
6244 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

6278 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
6279 ==============================================
6281 * add support for installed tests:
6282 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
6284 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
6285 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
6287 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
6289 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
6291 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
6292 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
6293 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
6295 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

6327 ==============================================
6329 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6330 and a parser API for them is now provided
6332 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6333 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6334 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

6394 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6395 ==============================================
6397 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6398 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6399 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6400 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6401 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6402 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6403 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6404 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6405 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6407 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6408 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6409 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6410 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6411 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6413 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6414 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6415 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6416 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6417 anyone was using it.
6419 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6421 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6422 the destination file
6424 - fix some 'available since' annotations

6451 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6452 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6453 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other

6511 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6512 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6513 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6514 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6515 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
6519 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
6520 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
6522 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
6523 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
6524 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
6525 * documentation fixes
6526 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
6529 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

6680 * Translation updates:
6695 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6696 ==============================================
6698 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6699 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6700 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6701 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6702 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6704 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6705 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6706 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6707 particular, are incompatible.
6709 * Bugs fixed in this release:

6743 * Translation updates:
6754 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6755 ==============================================
6757 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6758 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6759 causing regressions in applications.
6761 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6762 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6763 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6766 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6767 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6768 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6770 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6772 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6774 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6776 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6778 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6780 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6782 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6784 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6786 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6788 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6841 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6842 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6844 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6845 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6847 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6849 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

7399 * Updated translations:
7426 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7427 ===============================================
7429 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7430 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7431 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7434 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7435 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7436 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7437 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7438 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7439 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7440 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7442 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7443 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7444 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7445 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7446 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7448 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7450 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7452 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7453 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7454 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7455 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7458 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7459 such programs to break.
7461 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7462 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7463 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7465 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7466 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7468 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7470 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7786 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7787 ==============================================
7789 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7790 moved to GtkApplication.
7792 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7793 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7794 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7795 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7797 * lots of documentation improvements
7799 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7801 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7802 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7804 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7806 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7808 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7810 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7811 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7814 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7815 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
7816 664699 glib: documentation fixes
7817 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
7818 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
7819 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7820 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
7821 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
7822 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
7823 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
7824 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
7826 * Translations updated:
7830 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7831 ==============================================
7833 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7834 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7835 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7838 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7839 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7840 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7843 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7844 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7845 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7846 through an idle on the context.
7848 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7849 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7850 fixes here and there.
7852 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7853 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7854 API available outside GLib
7856 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7893 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
7895 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
7897 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7898 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7899 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7901 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7904 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7905 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
7906 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
7909 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

7920 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7921 =================================================
7923 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7924 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7926 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7927 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7928 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7929 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7930 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7931 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7932 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7933 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7934 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7935 required (and has been deprecated)
7936 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7937 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7938 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7939 without explicit initialisation.
7940 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7941 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7942 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7944 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7945 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7946 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7947 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7948 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7949 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7950 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7952 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7953 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7954 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7955 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7956 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7957 - other implementation details changed
7959 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7960 deprecated/ directory.
7962 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7963 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7964 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7966 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7967 platform over a year ago).
7969 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7970 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7972 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7973 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7975 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7976 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7977 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7978 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7981 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7982 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7985 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7987 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7988 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7990 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7991 in a multi-threaded program
7993 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7994 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7997 - drop -uninstalled variants
7998 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
8000 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
8001 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
8002 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
8004 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
8006 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
8007 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
8010 - many code generation updates and improvements
8011 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
8014 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
8015 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
8017 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
8019 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
8022 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
8023 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
8025 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
8026 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
8028 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
8030 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
8034 * Partial list of bugs closed:
8035 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.
8036 320888 optimization for g_main_context_wakeup

8146 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
8147 ================================================
8149 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
8150 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
8151 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
8152 GObject depends on libffi now.

8165 * GDateTime improvements:
8166 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
8167 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
8168 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
8169 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
8170 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
8171 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks

8466 ==============================================
8468 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8469 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8470 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8471 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8472 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8473 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8475 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8476 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8478 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8480 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
8482 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

8533 * Updated translations:
8542 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8543 ==============================================
8546 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8547 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8548 an 'object manager' pattern:
8549 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8550 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8551 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8552 And server-side implementations:
8553 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8554 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8555 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8559 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8563 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8564 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8565 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8566 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8569 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8570 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8573 * Unix-specific APIs:
8574 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8575 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8576 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8577 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8578 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8579 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8603 * Updated translations
8610 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8611 ==============================================
8614 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8615 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8616 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8619 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8620 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8621 situations has been improved
8624 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8625 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8628 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8629 match strcmp() semantics
8630 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8631 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8632 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8634 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8635 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8638 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8640 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8642 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8643 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8644 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8925 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8926 ==============================================
8928 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8929 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8934 g_get_monotonic_time
8936 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8939 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8941 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8943 g_simple_async_result_take_error
8944 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
8945 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8947 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
8950 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
8951 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
8952 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
8954 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
8955 g_get_user_runtime_dir
8957 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
8960 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
8961 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

8966 * Translation updates:
8974 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8975 ==============================================
8978 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8979 - Support environment passing
8982 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8983 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8985 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8986 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8987 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8991 158725 free linked list with data
8992 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8993 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
8994 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
8995 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
8996 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000

9001 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
9002 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
9004 * Translation updates:
9010 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
9011 ==============================================
9013 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
9014 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
9016 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
9017 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
9019 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
9021 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
9023 g_settings_get_range
9024 g_settings_range_check
9025 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
9027 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
9028 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
9030 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
9031 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
9033 g_main_context_invoke
9034 g_main_context_invoke_full
9036 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
9037 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
9038 looking for default applications.
9040 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
9041 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
9042 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
9043 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
9045 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
9046 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
9047 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

9302 =====================================================
9304 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9305 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
9306 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9308 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
9309 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
9310 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
9311 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
9314 There have been many other improvements, however:
9317 - vastly improved test coverage
9318 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
9319 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
9320 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
9323 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

9369 =====================================================
9371 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9372 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
9373 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
9374 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
9375 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9376 | required (and will be along soon). |
9377 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9380 - cleanup automake setup
9381 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
9382 - various docs fixups
9383 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

9400 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
9401 - constness fixes for introspection structures
9402 - clean ups to subtree registration API
9405 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

9437 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
9438 =====================================================
9440 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9441 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9442 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9443 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9444 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9447 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9448 -Bsymbolic-functions
9449 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9450 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9451 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9452 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9453 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9456 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9457 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9458 nobody was doing that.
9459 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9461 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9462 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9464 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9465 have a serial number
9466 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9468 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9470 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9471 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9472 has finished running on GDBus services.
9473 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9474 this due to the obvious race)
9475 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9476 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9479 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9480 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9481 arguments and different behaviour
9482 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9483 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9484 strings instead of utf8 strings
9485 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9486 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9487 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9488 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9489 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9490 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9491 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9492 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9493 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9496 - improved documentation
9497 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9498 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9499 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9500 overridden using <override>.
9501 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9503 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9504 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9505 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9506 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9507 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9508 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9509 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9510 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9511 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9512 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9513 being set due to a premature free
9514 - command line tool: bash completion support
9515 - chain up in _finalize
9516 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9518 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9519 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails

9956 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9957 ===================================================
9959 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9960 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9961 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9962 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9963 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
9965 * Translation updates:
9975 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9976 ===================================================
9978 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9979 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9980 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9981 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9983 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9984 when g_type_init() is called.
9986 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9987 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9988 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9990 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9991 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9992 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9993 is a bug in application code.

10162 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.1 to GLib 2.23.2
10163 ===================================================
10165 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
10167 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
10169 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
10170 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
10171 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
10173 * Threading changes:
10174 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
10175 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
10177 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10178 when g_type_init() is called.
10179 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
10182 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
10185 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

10223 - Construction of simple objects is much faster
10224 - Interface lookup is lock-free and constant-time now
10225 - Reduced locking overhead when dealing with types
10227 * GType now has a G_DEFINE_INTERFACE convenience macro

10257 ===================================================
10260 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
10261 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
10262 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
10263 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
10264 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10265 while loading or saving it.
10266 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
10267 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
10268 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
10271 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
10272 interfaces to dynamic types.
10275 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
10276 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
10277 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10634 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
10635 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
10637 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
10638 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
10639 for actual socket I/O.
10640 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
10641 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
10643 * Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double
10644 types, suitable for use with GHashTable.

10719 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10720 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10721 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10722 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10723 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10724 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10725 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10726 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10727 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10728 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10729 object with the given URI.

11011 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
11012 ===================================================
11014 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
11015 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
11016 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
11017 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
11018 also uses less memory overall.
11020 * Make g_poll available as public api
11022 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
11023 that a GError is set or unset
11025 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
11027 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
11028 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
11030 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
11031 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11108 ===================================================
11110 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
11111 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
11112 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
11113 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
11114 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
11115 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12447 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12448 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12450 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12453 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12454 ==================================================
12456 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12457 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12458 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12459 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12461 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12462 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12464 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12465 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12468 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12469 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12470 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12471 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12472 support ELF visibility attributes.
12474 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12475 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12477 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12478 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12479 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12480 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12481 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12482 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12483 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12484 to help with the transition.

12639 * Memory management
12640 - The slice allocator is implemented [Tim Janik]
12641 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
12642 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12643 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12646 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12649 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12650 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12651 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12652 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12653 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12654 variants [Martyn Russell]
12657 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been

12661 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12664 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12665 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
12666 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
12667 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12668 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12669 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12670 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
12671 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]

12685 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12686 =================================================
12688 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12689 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12690 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12692 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12693 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12696 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12697 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12698 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12699 "stutter stepping".
12700 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12702 * Memory management:
12703 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12704 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12705 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12706 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12707 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12708 never worked as intended.
12709 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12710 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12711 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12712 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12713 efficient and scalable implementation.
12714 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12716 * Pattern matching:
12717 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12718 unnecessary recursion.
12721 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12722 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12723 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12726 * g_thread_foreach:
12727 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12730 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12731 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12732 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12736 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12737 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12738 since they are in glib.h

12757 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
12759 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
12760 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

12917 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12918 =================================================
12920 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12921 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12922 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12923 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12924 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12925 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12926 included through <glib.h>.
12928 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12929 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12930 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12931 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12932 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12934 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12935 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12936 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12937 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12938 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12940 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12941 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12942 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12943 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12945 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12946 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12947 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12949 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12950 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12951 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12952 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12953 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12954 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12956 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12957 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12958 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12959 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12961 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12962 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12963 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12964 stderr if you need to see them.
12966 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12967 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12968 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12969 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12970 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12971 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12973 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12974 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12975 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12976 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12977 work with future versions of GLib.
12980 - GOption, a commandline option parser
12981 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
12982 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
12983 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
12984 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
12986 * Miscellaneous new functions
12987 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
12988 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
12989 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
12990 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
12991 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
12992 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
12993 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
12994 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
12995 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
12996 - g_debug() completes the family of logging functions
12998 * Performance improvements

13002 - Get rid of many PLT entries for internally used exported symbols
13003 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
13006 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
13007 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
13008 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
13009 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
13010 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
13011 - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols
