1190 is unavailable or undesired.
1192 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

1250 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1251 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1252 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1253 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1255 This release corrects only this problem.
1257 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1258 ==================================
1260 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1261 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1262 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1264 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1610 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1611 ==================================
1613 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1614 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1615 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1616 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1617 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1618 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1620 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1621 have seen major improvements.
1623 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1624 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1625 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1628 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1630 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1632 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1634 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1635 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1636 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1637 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1638 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1639 you use the --strict option.
1641 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1642 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1643 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1645 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1647 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1648 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1649 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1731 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1732 ===================================
1734 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1735 before the release of 2.44.0.
1737 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1739 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1740 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1741 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1742 default in the next cycle.
1744 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1789 ===================================
1791 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1792 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1793 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1795 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1796 effective busy state.

2334 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
2335 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
2336 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
2337 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2338 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2339 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2594 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2595 ====================================================
2597 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2599 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2601 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2602 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2605 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2606 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2609 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2611 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2613 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2616 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2617 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2619 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2621 * Applications/Actions
2623 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2624 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2627 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2628 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2630 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2631 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2632 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2633 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2637 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2638 accesses that are performed in common situations
2640 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2641 are installed/removed
2643 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2644 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2646 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2647 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2652 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2654 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2655 that test programs don't pick them up
2657 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2659 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2660 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2661 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2662 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2664 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2665 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2667 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2668 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2669 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2673 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2675 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2677 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2679 Translations updated:
2687 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2729 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2730 ====================================================
2732 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2736 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2738 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2739 them can restart the application with an action (via
2744 - new API for launching subprocesses
2746 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2748 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2750 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2751 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2753 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2755 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2757 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2758 actions and listing apps and actions
2760 - bash tab completion is supported
2762 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2764 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2765 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2767 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2768 DBusActivatable=true
2770 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2771 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2776 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2778 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2779 class and inotify backend
2781 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2782 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2784 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2789 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2790 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2791 when there are invalid schemas installed
2793 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2797 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2798 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2800 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2803 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2804 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2805 semantics of the interface in each case
2807 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2808 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2810 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2812 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2813 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2814 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2815 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2819 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2822 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2824 * Portability improvements
2826 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2828 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2829 actually support it (like Hurd)
2831 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2833 * Other small API changes/additions
2835 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2836 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2837 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2839 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2841 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2842 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2844 * GMainContext/GSource
2846 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2848 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2849 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2850 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2851 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2852 broken and should probably be fixed.
2854 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2855 require use of a linked list
2859 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2860 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2861 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2863 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2867 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2868 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2869 gphoto, archive, at least).
2871 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2873 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2876 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2877 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2878 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2880 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2882 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2884 * Many documentation improvements

2942 What's new in Glib 2.38
2943 ========================
2945 * Application support
2947 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2948 desktop entry specification
2950 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2951 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2952 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2954 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2955 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2956 to launch other applications
2958 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2959 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2963 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2964 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2965 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2966 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2967 any problems that this may have caused.
2969 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2970 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2971 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2972 (allowing memory savings)
2974 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2975 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2976 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2978 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2979 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2982 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2983 without destroying one of the objects involved
2987 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2988 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2989 with a finite number of cases
2991 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2992 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2994 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2995 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2996 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2997 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3000 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3004 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3005 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3006 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3008 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3010 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3011 and an API to check them
3013 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3014 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3016 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3017 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3021 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3022 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3023 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3026 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3027 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3028 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3030 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3035 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3036 allow for regexp matching on streams
3038 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3039 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3040 g_variant_new_printf()
3044 - we can now generate TAP output
3046 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3047 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3049 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3054 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3180 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3181 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3182 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3184 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3185 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

3272 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
3273 ==============================================
3275 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3276 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3278 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3279 and will trigger a warning.
3282 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

3365 ==============================================
3367 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3368 and a parser API for them is now provided
3370 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3371 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3372 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3464 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3465 ==============================================
3467 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3468 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3469 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3470 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3524 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3525 ==============================================
3527 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3528 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3529 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3530 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3531 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3535 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3536 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

3560 ==============================================
3562 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3564 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3565 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3567 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3568 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3570 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3583 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3584 ==============================================
3586 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3589 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3590 ready at a specified monotonic time
3592 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3594 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3696 * Translation updates:
3711 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3712 ==============================================
3714 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3715 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3716 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3717 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3718 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3720 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3721 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3722 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3723 particular, are incompatible.
3725 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3770 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3771 ==============================================
3773 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3774 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3775 causing regressions in applications.
3777 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3778 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3779 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3782 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3783 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3784 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3786 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3788 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3790 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3792 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3794 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3796 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3798 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3800 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3802 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3804 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3857 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3858 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3860 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3861 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3863 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3865 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

4704 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4705 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4707 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4708 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4710 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4752 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4753 ==============================================
4755 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4756 moved to GtkApplication.
4758 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4759 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4760 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4761 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4763 * lots of documentation improvements
4765 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4767 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4768 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4770 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4772 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4774 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4776 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4777 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4780 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4781 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4782 664699 glib: documentation fixes
4783 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
4784 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
4785 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4786 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4787 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4788 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4789 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4790 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4792 * Translations updated:
4796 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4797 ==============================================
4799 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4800 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4801 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4804 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4805 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4806 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4809 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4810 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4811 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4812 through an idle on the context.
4814 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4815 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4816 fixes here and there.
4818 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4819 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4820 API available outside GLib
4822 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4861 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4863 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4864 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4865 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4867 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4870 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4871 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4872 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4875 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

4886 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4887 =================================================
4889 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4890 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4892 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4893 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4894 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4895 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4896 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4897 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4898 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4899 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4900 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4901 required (and has been deprecated)
4902 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4903 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4904 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4905 without explicit initialisation.
4906 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4907 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4908 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4910 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4911 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4912 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4913 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4914 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4915 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4916 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4918 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4919 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4920 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4921 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4922 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4923 - other implementation details changed
4925 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4926 deprecated/ directory.
4928 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4929 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4930 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4932 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4933 platform over a year ago).
4935 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4936 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4938 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4939 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4941 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4942 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4943 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4944 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4947 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4948 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4951 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4953 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4954 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4956 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4957 in a multi-threaded program
4959 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4960 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4963 - drop -uninstalled variants
4964 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4966 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4967 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4968 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4970 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4972 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4973 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4976 - many code generation updates and improvements
4977 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4980 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4981 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4983 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4985 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4988 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4989 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4991 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4992 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4994 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4996 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5000 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5001 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5427 ==============================================
5429 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5430 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5431 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5432 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5433 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5434 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5436 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5437 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5439 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5441 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5443 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5494 * Updated translations:
5503 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5504 ==============================================
5507 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5508 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5509 an 'object manager' pattern:
5510 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5511 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5512 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5513 And server-side implementations:
5514 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5515 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5516 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5520 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5524 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5525 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5526 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5527 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5530 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5531 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5534 * Unix-specific APIs:
5535 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5536 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5537 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5538 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5539 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5540 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5564 * Updated translations
5571 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5572 ==============================================
5575 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5576 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5577 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5580 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5581 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5582 situations has been improved
5585 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5586 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5589 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5590 match strcmp() semantics
5591 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5592 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5593 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5595 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5596 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5599 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5601 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5603 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5604 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5605 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5882 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
5883 ==============================================
5885 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5886 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5891 g_get_monotonic_time
5893 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5896 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5898 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5900 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5901 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5902 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5904 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
5907 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
5908 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5909 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
5911 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
5912 g_get_user_runtime_dir

5923 * Translation updates:
5931 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5932 ==============================================
5935 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5936 - Support environment passing
5939 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5940 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5942 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5943 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5944 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5948 158725 free linked list with data
5949 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
5950 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

5958 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5959 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5961 * Translation updates:
5967 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5968 ==============================================
5970 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5971 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5973 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5974 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5976 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5978 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5980 g_settings_get_range
5981 g_settings_range_check
5982 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5984 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5985 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5987 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5988 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5990 g_main_context_invoke
5991 g_main_context_invoke_full
5993 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5994 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5995 looking for default applications.
5997 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5998 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5999 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6000 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6002 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6003 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6004 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
6007 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

6261 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6262 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6263 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6265 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6266 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6267 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6268 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6271 There have been many other improvements, however:
6274 - vastly improved test coverage
6275 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6276 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6277 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

6295 without mapping functions
6296 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
6299 - improve closure support for bindings
6300 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

6326 =====================================================
6328 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6329 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6330 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6331 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6332 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6333 | required (and will be along soon). |
6334 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6337 - cleanup automake setup
6338 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6339 - various docs fixups
6340 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6353 - proper support for file descriptor passing
6354 - new flags parameter for sending messages
6355 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
6356 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
6357 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6358 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6359 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6362 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6366 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
6367 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
6370 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

6395 =====================================================
6397 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6398 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6399 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6400 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6401 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6404 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6405 -Bsymbolic-functions
6406 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6407 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6408 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6409 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6410 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6413 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6414 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6415 nobody was doing that.
6416 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6418 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6419 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6421 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6422 have a serial number
6423 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6425 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6427 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6428 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6429 has finished running on GDBus services.
6430 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6431 this due to the obvious race)
6432 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6433 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6436 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6437 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6438 arguments and different behaviour
6439 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6440 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6441 strings instead of utf8 strings
6442 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6443 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6444 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6445 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6446 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6447 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6448 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6449 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6450 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6453 - improved documentation
6454 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6455 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6456 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6457 overridden using <override>.
6458 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6460 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6461 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6462 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6463 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6464 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all

7200 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7201 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7202 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7203 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7204 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7205 while loading or saving it.
7206 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7207 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7208 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7211 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7212 interfaces to dynamic types.
7215 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because

7935 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7936 ===================================================
7938 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7939 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7940 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7941 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7942 also uses less memory overall.
7944 * Make g_poll available as public api
7946 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7947 that a GError is set or unset
7949 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7951 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7952 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7954 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7955 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9569 =================================================
9571 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9572 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9573 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9575 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9576 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9579 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
9580 These functions handle negative offsets now, and

9583 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
9585 * Memory management:
9586 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and

9588 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9589 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9590 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9591 never worked as intended.
9592 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9593 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9594 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9595 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9596 efficient and scalable implementation.
9597 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9600 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9601 unnecessary recursion.
9604 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
9605 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
9606 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9610 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9613 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9614 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9615 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9619 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9620 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9621 since they are in glib.h
