1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.1
2 ==================================
4 * Autotools support is gone. (!580)
6 * g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;
7 translations will need to be updated accordingly. (#1625)
9 * New g_queue_clear_full() API. (#1464)
11 * Fix argument quoting on win32 when spawning subprocesses. (!419)
13 * Allow polling more than 64 handles on win32 using g_poll(). (#1071)
15 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
16 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
17 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
18 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
20 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
22 * Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be
23 used for flatpaks. (!450)

86 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
87 ==================================
89 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
90 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
91 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
92 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
94 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
95 directory for each unit test. (#538)
97 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
99 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
101 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
103 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
104 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
105 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
106 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
108 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
109 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
111 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
112 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
113 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
115 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
117 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
118 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
121 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
122 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
124 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
125 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
126 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
128 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
129 portal backends. (!317)
131 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
134 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
136 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
139 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
141 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
144 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
145 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
146 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
148 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
149 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
151 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
152 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
153 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
154 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
156 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
158 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

367 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
368 ==================================
370 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
371 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
372 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
373 with Meson or autotools. See:
374 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
376 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
378 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
379 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
381 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
383 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
385 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
386 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
387 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
388 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
391 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
392 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
393 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
394 !265 Network monitor again
395 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
396 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
397 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
398 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
399 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
400 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
402 * Translation updates:
412 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
413 ==================================
415 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
416 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
417 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
418 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
420 * Many minor documentation fixes.
422 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
424 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
426 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
428 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
429 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
431 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
433 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
434 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
435 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
438 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.

1530 - g_key_file_load_from_bytes
1531 - g_compute_hmac_for_bytes
1533 * Stack-allocated GVariantBuilder and GVariantDict objects can now be
1534 initialized with G_VARIANT_BUILDER_INIT and G_VARIANT_DICT_INIT

1615 ==================================
1617 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1618 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1619 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1620 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1622 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1623 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1624 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1626 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1627 environment variable.
1629 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1630 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1792 is unavailable or undesired.
1794 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
1795 glib-networking will also be required.

1849 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1850 ==================================
1852 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1853 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1854 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1855 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1857 This release corrects only this problem.
1859 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1860 ==================================
1862 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1863 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1864 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1866 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2212 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2213 ==================================
2215 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2216 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2217 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2218 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2219 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2220 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2222 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2223 have seen major improvements.
2225 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2226 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2227 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2230 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2232 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2234 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2236 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2237 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2238 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2239 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2240 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2241 you use the --strict option.
2243 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2244 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2245 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2247 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2249 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2250 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2251 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2297 ===================================
2299 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2300 before the release of 2.44.0.
2302 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2304 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2305 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2306 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2307 default in the next cycle.
2309 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
2311 * new GTask:completed property
2313 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
2314 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

2354 ===================================
2356 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
2357 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
2358 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
2360 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
2361 effective busy state.

2414 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
2416 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
2417 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

3159 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3160 ====================================================
3162 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3164 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3166 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3167 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3170 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3171 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3174 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3176 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3178 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3181 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3182 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3184 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3186 * Applications/Actions
3188 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3189 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3192 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3193 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3195 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3196 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3197 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3198 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3202 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3203 accesses that are performed in common situations
3205 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3206 are installed/removed
3208 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3209 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3211 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3212 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3217 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3219 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3220 that test programs don't pick them up
3222 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3224 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3225 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3226 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3227 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3229 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3230 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3232 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3233 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3234 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3238 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3240 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3242 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3244 Translations updated:
3252 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
3253 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block

3255 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
3256 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
3257 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
3258 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
3259 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
3260 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
3261 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
3262 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3263 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3264 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
3265 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE
3266 710133 Emit backward compatible code with gdbus-codegen
3267 710691 glib-networking: locking during implicit handshake

3294 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3295 ====================================================
3297 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3301 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3303 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3304 them can restart the application with an action (via
3309 - new API for launching subprocesses
3311 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3313 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3315 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3316 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3318 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3320 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3322 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3323 actions and listing apps and actions
3325 - bash tab completion is supported
3327 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3329 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3330 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3332 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3333 DBusActivatable=true
3335 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3336 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3341 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3343 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3344 class and inotify backend
3346 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3347 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3349 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3354 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3355 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3356 when there are invalid schemas installed
3358 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3362 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3363 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3365 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3368 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3369 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3370 semantics of the interface in each case
3372 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3373 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3375 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3377 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3378 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3379 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3380 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3384 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3387 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3389 * Portability improvements
3391 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3393 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3394 actually support it (like Hurd)
3396 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3398 * Other small API changes/additions
3400 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3401 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3402 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3404 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3406 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3407 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3409 * GMainContext/GSource
3411 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3413 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3414 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3415 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3416 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3417 broken and should probably be fixed.
3419 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3420 require use of a linked list
3424 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3425 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3426 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3428 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3432 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3433 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3434 gphoto, archive, at least).
3436 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3438 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3441 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3442 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3443 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3445 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3447 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3449 * Many documentation improvements
3452 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3453 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3454 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3507 What's new in Glib 2.38
3508 ========================
3510 * Application support
3512 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3513 desktop entry specification
3515 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3516 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3517 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3519 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3520 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3521 to launch other applications
3523 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3524 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3528 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3529 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3530 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3531 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3532 any problems that this may have caused.
3534 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3535 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3536 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3537 (allowing memory savings)
3539 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3540 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3541 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3543 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3544 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3547 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3548 without destroying one of the objects involved
3552 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3553 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3554 with a finite number of cases
3556 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3557 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3559 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3560 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3561 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3562 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3565 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3569 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3570 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3571 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3573 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3575 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3576 and an API to check them
3578 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3579 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3581 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3582 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3586 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3587 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3588 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3591 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3592 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3593 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3595 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3600 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3601 allow for regexp matching on streams
3603 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3604 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3605 g_variant_new_printf()
3609 - we can now generate TAP output
3611 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3612 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3614 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3619 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3741 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
3742 ==============================================
3744 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3745 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3746 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3747 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3749 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3750 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3753 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3755 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3756 the key was locked down)
3758 * Miscellaneous new api:
3759 - g_variant_new_printf
3760 - g_action_print_detailed_name

3810 * Translation updates:
3813 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.2 to 2.37.3
3814 ==============================================
3816 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
3818 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
3819 build the unmodified source
3821 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
3823 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
3824 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
3825 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
3832 698375 - D-Bus async properties

3837 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
3838 ==============================================
3840 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3841 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3843 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3844 and will trigger a warning.
3847 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

3882 ==============================================
3884 * add support for installed tests:
3885 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
3887 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
3888 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3890 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3892 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3894 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3895 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3896 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3898 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

3930 ==============================================
3932 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3933 and a parser API for them is now provided
3935 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3936 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3937 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3998 ==============================================
4000 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
4002 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
4003 the destination file
4005 - fix some 'available since' annotations

4029 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
4030 ==============================================
4032 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4033 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4034 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4035 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4090 ==============================================
4092 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4093 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4094 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4095 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4096 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4100 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris

4125 ==============================================
4127 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4129 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4130 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4132 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4133 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4135 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4148 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4149 ==============================================
4151 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
4154 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
4155 ready at a specified monotonic time
4157 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4159 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

4261 * Translation updates:
4276 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4277 ==============================================
4279 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4280 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4281 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4282 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4283 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4285 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4286 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4287 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4288 particular, are incompatible.
4290 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4335 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4336 ==============================================
4338 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4339 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4340 causing regressions in applications.
4342 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4343 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4344 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4347 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4348 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4349 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4351 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4353 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4355 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4357 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4359 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4361 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4363 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4365 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4367 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4369 * Many other docs and annotations fixes
4382 649302 Add support for GNU/FreeBSD
4383 668842 [GSocket] Add caching for the sender address in g_socket_receive_from()

5263 ==============================================
5266 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5267 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5268 to an overridden property
5269 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5270 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5272 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

5317 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5318 ==============================================
5320 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5321 moved to GtkApplication.
5323 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5324 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5325 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5326 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5328 * lots of documentation improvements
5330 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5332 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5333 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5335 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5337 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5339 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5341 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5342 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5345 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5346 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5350 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5351 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

5354 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
5355 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
5357 * Translations updated:
5361 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5362 ==============================================
5364 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5365 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5366 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5369 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5370 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5371 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5374 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5375 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5376 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5377 through an idle on the context.
5379 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5380 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5381 fixes here and there.
5383 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5384 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5385 API available outside GLib
5387 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5429 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5430 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5432 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

5451 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5452 =================================================
5454 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5455 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5457 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5458 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5459 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5460 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5461 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5462 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5463 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5464 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5465 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5466 required (and has been deprecated)
5467 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5468 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5469 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5470 without explicit initialisation.
5471 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5472 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5473 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5475 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5476 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5477 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5478 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5479 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5480 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5481 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5483 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5484 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5485 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5486 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5487 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5488 - other implementation details changed
5490 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5491 deprecated/ directory.
5493 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5494 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5495 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5497 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5498 platform over a year ago).
5500 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5501 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5503 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5504 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5506 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5507 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5508 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5509 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5512 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5513 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5516 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5518 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5519 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5521 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5522 in a multi-threaded program
5524 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5525 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5528 - drop -uninstalled variants
5529 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5531 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5532 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5533 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5535 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5537 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5538 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5541 - many code generation updates and improvements
5542 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5545 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5546 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5548 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5550 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5553 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5554 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5556 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5557 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5559 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5561 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5565 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5566 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5992 ==============================================
5994 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5995 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5996 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5997 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5998 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5999 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6001 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6002 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

6068 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6069 ==============================================
6072 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6073 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6074 an 'object manager' pattern:
6075 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6076 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6077 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6078 And server-side implementations:
6079 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6080 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6081 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6085 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6089 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6090 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6091 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6092 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6095 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6096 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6099 * Unix-specific APIs:
6100 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6101 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6102 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6103 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6104 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6105 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6141 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6142 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6145 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6146 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6147 situations has been improved
6150 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented

6157 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6158 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6160 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6161 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6164 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6166 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6168 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must

6448 ==============================================
6450 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6451 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6456 g_get_monotonic_time
6458 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6461 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6463 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
6465 g_simple_async_result_take_error
6466 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
6467 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
6469 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

6500 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6501 - Support environment passing
6504 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6505 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6507 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6508 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6509 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6513 158725 free linked list with data

6526 * Translation updates:
6532 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6533 ==============================================
6535 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6536 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6538 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6539 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6541 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6543 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6545 g_settings_get_range
6546 g_settings_range_check
6547 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6549 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6550 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6552 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6553 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6555 g_main_context_invoke
6556 g_main_context_invoke_full
6558 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6559 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6560 looking for default applications.
6562 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6563 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6564 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6565 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6567 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6568 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6569 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6827 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6828 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6830 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6831 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6832 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6833 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6836 There have been many other improvements, however:
6839 - vastly improved test coverage
6840 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6841 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6842 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6845 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

6891 =====================================================
6893 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6894 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6895 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6896 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6897 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6898 | required (and will be along soon). |
6899 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6902 - cleanup automake setup
6903 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6904 - various docs fixups

6923 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6924 - clean ups to subtree registration API

6959 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6960 =====================================================
6962 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6963 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6964 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6965 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6966 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6969 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6970 -Bsymbolic-functions
6971 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6972 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6973 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6974 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6975 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6978 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6979 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6980 nobody was doing that.
6981 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6983 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6984 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6986 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6987 have a serial number
6988 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6990 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6992 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6993 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6994 has finished running on GDBus services.
6995 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6996 this due to the obvious race)
6997 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6998 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7001 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7002 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7003 arguments and different behaviour
7004 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7005 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7006 strings instead of utf8 strings
7007 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7008 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7009 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7010 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7011 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7012 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7013 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7014 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7015 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7018 - improved documentation
7019 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7020 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7021 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7022 overridden using <override>.
7023 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7025 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7026 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7027 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7028 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7029 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7030 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7031 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7032 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7033 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7034 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7035 being set due to a premature free
7036 - command line tool: bash completion support
7037 - chain up in _finalize
7038 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7040 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7041 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7042 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7044 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7045 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7046 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7047 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7048 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7052 - always intern GBinding prop names
7053 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7054 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7055 - GNode docs improvements
7056 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7057 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7058 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7062 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7063 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7064 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7065 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7066 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7067 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7068 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7069 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7071 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7072 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7073 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7074 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7075 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7076 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7077 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
7078 610784 array test failing
7079 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

7772 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7773 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7776 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7777 interfaces to dynamic types.

8504 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

8507 also uses less memory overall.

10134 =================================================
10136 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10137 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10138 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10140 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10141 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10144 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10145 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10146 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10147 "stutter stepping".
10148 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]

10156 never worked as intended.
10157 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10158 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10159 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10160 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10161 efficient and scalable implementation.
10162 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10164 * Pattern matching:
10165 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10166 unnecessary recursion.
10169 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10170 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10171 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10174 * g_thread_foreach:
10175 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10178 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10179 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10180 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10184 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10185 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
