1089 ==================================
1091 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1092 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1093 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1094 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1096 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1097 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1098 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1100 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1101 environment variable.
1103 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1104 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1323 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1324 ==================================
1326 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1327 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1328 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1329 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1331 This release corrects only this problem.
1333 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1334 ==================================
1336 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1337 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1338 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1340 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1686 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1687 ==================================
1689 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1690 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1691 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1692 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1693 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1694 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1696 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1697 have seen major improvements.
1699 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1700 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1701 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1704 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1706 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1708 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1710 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1711 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1712 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1713 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1714 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1715 you use the --strict option.
1717 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1718 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1719 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1721 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1723 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1724 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1725 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1770 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1771 ===================================
1773 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1774 before the release of 2.44.0.
1776 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1778 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1779 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1780 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1781 default in the next cycle.
1783 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1828 ===================================
1830 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1831 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1832 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1834 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1835 effective busy state.

2259 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
2260 ===================================
2262 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
2263 and NULL pointer dereferences.
2265 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
2266 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
2268 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
2269 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
2271 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
2272 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
2274 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
2276 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
2277 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
2279 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
2280 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
2281 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
2283 * ... and many other bug fixes.

2375 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
2376 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2377 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2378 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2633 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2634 ====================================================
2636 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2638 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2640 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2641 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2644 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2645 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2648 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2650 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2652 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2655 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2656 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2658 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2660 * Applications/Actions
2662 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2663 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2666 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2667 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2669 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2670 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2671 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2672 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2676 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2677 accesses that are performed in common situations
2679 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2680 are installed/removed
2682 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2683 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2685 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2686 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2691 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2693 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2694 that test programs don't pick them up
2696 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2698 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2699 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2700 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2701 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2703 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2704 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2706 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2707 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2708 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2712 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2714 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2716 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2768 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2769 ====================================================
2771 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2775 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2777 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2778 them can restart the application with an action (via
2783 - new API for launching subprocesses
2785 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2787 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2789 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2790 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2792 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2794 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2796 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2797 actions and listing apps and actions
2799 - bash tab completion is supported
2801 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2803 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2804 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2806 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2807 DBusActivatable=true
2809 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2810 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2815 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2817 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2818 class and inotify backend
2820 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2821 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2823 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2828 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2829 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2830 when there are invalid schemas installed
2832 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2836 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2837 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2839 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2842 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2843 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2844 semantics of the interface in each case
2846 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2847 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2849 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2851 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2852 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2853 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2854 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2858 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2861 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2863 * Portability improvements
2865 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2867 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2868 actually support it (like Hurd)
2870 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2872 * Other small API changes/additions
2874 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2875 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2876 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2878 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2880 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2881 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2883 * GMainContext/GSource
2885 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2887 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2888 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2889 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2890 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2891 broken and should probably be fixed.
2893 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2894 require use of a linked list
2898 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2899 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2900 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2902 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2906 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2907 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2908 gphoto, archive, at least).
2910 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2912 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2915 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2916 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2917 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2919 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2921 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2923 * Many documentation improvements
2926 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2927 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2928 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects
2929 672102 GSubprocess class
2930 684842 Seeks on GMemoryOutputStream don't have opaque semantics
2931 688492 Add a notification API
2932 691581 g_output_stream_real_splice_async doesn't use overriden read/write_async functions
2933 702516 gfileutils: Make -Werror=format-nonliteral happy
2934 704218 New gapplication(1) tool
2935 704593 g_setenv: on some systems (BSD, OSX…), setting a variable to NULL crashes the system
2936 704882 GLocalDirectoryMonitorClass mount_notify field is useless
2937 704887 file monitoring improvements
2938 705029 Support for Solaris credentials
2939 705688 g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas
2940 706254 Afp backend cannot copy files
2941 707887 Attempting to create GObject Property with underscore prefix segfaults
2942 708042 gapplication: don't rely on cmdline being finalized immediately
2943 708265 add support for GNU/Hurd in GLib D-Bus Library
2944 708266 fix error code checks when SOCK_CLOEXEC is defined but not supported
2945 708529 xdgmime: valgrind warns about invalid reads
2946 708677 incorrect object path 'deskop' used in gio/gdbusobjectmanagerclient.c
2947 708714 Typo in docs of GLIB_VERSION_2_40 macro.
2948 708753 gdesktopappinfo: Call g_file_get_path() on demand

2975 Brazilian Portuguese
2981 What's new in Glib 2.38
2982 ========================
2984 * Application support
2986 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2987 desktop entry specification
2989 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2990 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2991 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2993 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2994 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2995 to launch other applications
2997 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2998 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3002 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3003 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3004 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3005 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3006 any problems that this may have caused.
3008 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3009 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3010 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3011 (allowing memory savings)
3013 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3014 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3015 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3017 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3018 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3021 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3022 without destroying one of the objects involved
3026 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3027 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3028 with a finite number of cases
3030 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3031 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3033 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3034 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3035 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3036 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3039 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3043 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3044 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3045 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3047 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3049 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3050 and an API to check them
3052 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3053 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3055 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3056 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3060 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3061 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3062 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3065 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3066 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3067 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3069 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3074 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3075 allow for regexp matching on streams
3077 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3078 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3079 g_variant_new_printf()
3083 - we can now generate TAP output
3085 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3086 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3088 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3093 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3215 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
3216 ==============================================
3218 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3219 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3220 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3221 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3223 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3224 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3227 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3229 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3230 the key was locked down)

3404 ==============================================
3406 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3407 and a parser API for them is now provided
3409 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3410 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3411 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3471 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3472 ==============================================
3474 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3476 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3477 the destination file
3479 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3481 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3503 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3504 ==============================================
3506 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3507 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3508 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3509 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3563 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3564 ==============================================
3566 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3567 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3568 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3569 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3570 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3574 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3575 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3577 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3578 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3579 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

3599 ==============================================
3601 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3603 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3604 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3606 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3607 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3609 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3622 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3623 ==============================================
3625 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3628 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3629 ready at a specified monotonic time
3631 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3633 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3735 * Translation updates:
3750 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3751 ==============================================
3753 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3754 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3755 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3756 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3757 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3759 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3760 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3761 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3762 particular, are incompatible.
3764 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3809 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3810 ==============================================
3812 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3813 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3814 causing regressions in applications.
3816 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3817 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3818 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3821 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3822 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3823 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3825 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3827 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3829 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3831 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3833 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3835 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3837 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3839 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3841 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3843 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3894 ==============================================
3896 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3897 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3899 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3900 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3902 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3904 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3906 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3908 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3910 * GLib version macros updated
3912 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4737 ==============================================
4740 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4741 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4742 to an overridden property
4743 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4744 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4746 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4747 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4749 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4791 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4792 ==============================================
4794 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4795 moved to GtkApplication.
4797 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4798 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4799 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4800 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4802 * lots of documentation improvements
4804 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4806 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4807 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4809 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4811 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4813 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4815 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4816 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4819 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4820 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4824 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4825 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4828 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4829 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4831 * Translations updated:
4835 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4836 ==============================================
4838 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4839 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4840 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4843 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4844 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4845 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4848 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4849 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4850 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4851 through an idle on the context.
4853 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4854 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4855 fixes here and there.
4857 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4858 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4859 API available outside GLib
4861 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4900 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4902 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4903 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4904 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4906 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4909 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4910 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4911 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4914 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

4922 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4923 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4925 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4926 =================================================
4928 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4929 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4931 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4932 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4933 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4934 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4935 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4936 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4937 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4938 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4939 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4940 required (and has been deprecated)
4941 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4942 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4943 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4944 without explicit initialisation.
4945 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4946 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4947 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4949 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4950 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4951 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4952 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4953 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4954 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4955 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4957 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4958 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4959 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4960 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4961 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4962 - other implementation details changed
4964 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4965 deprecated/ directory.
4967 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4968 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4969 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4971 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4972 platform over a year ago).
4974 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4975 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4977 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4978 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4980 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4981 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4982 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4983 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4986 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4987 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4990 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4992 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4993 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4995 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4996 in a multi-threaded program
4998 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4999 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5002 - drop -uninstalled variants
5003 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5005 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5006 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5007 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5009 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5011 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5012 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5015 - many code generation updates and improvements
5016 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5019 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5020 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5022 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5024 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5027 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5028 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5030 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5031 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5033 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5035 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5039 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5040 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5466 ==============================================
5468 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5469 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5470 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5471 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5472 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5473 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5475 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5476 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5478 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5480 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5482 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5533 * Updated translations:
5542 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5543 ==============================================
5546 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5547 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5548 an 'object manager' pattern:
5549 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5550 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5551 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5552 And server-side implementations:
5553 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5554 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5555 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5559 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5563 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5564 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5565 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5566 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5569 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5570 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5573 * Unix-specific APIs:
5574 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5575 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5576 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5577 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5578 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5579 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5610 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5611 ==============================================
5614 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5615 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5616 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5619 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5620 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5621 situations has been improved
5624 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5625 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5628 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5629 match strcmp() semantics
5630 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5631 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5632 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5634 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5635 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5638 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5640 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5642 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5643 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5644 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5801 g_desktop_app_info_launch_uris_as_manager(), which
5802 gives more control over the launched process.
5804 * The memory and null GSettings backends are now available

5975 - Support environment passing
5978 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5979 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5981 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5982 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5983 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5987 158725 free linked list with data

6000 * Translation updates:
6006 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6007 ==============================================
6009 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6010 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6012 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6013 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6015 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6017 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6019 g_settings_get_range
6020 g_settings_range_check
6021 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6023 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6024 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6026 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6027 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6029 g_main_context_invoke
6030 g_main_context_invoke_full
6032 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6033 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6034 looking for default applications.
6036 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6037 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6038 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6039 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6041 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6042 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6043 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6302 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6304 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6305 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6306 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6307 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6310 There have been many other improvements, however:

6445 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6446 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6447 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6448 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6449 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6452 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6453 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6454 nobody was doing that.
6455 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6457 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6458 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6460 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6461 have a serial number
6462 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6464 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6466 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6467 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6468 has finished running on GDBus services.
6469 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6470 this due to the obvious race)
6471 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6472 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6475 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6476 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6477 arguments and different behaviour
6478 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6479 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6480 strings instead of utf8 strings
6481 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6482 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6483 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6484 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6485 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6486 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6487 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6488 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6489 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6492 - improved documentation
6493 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6494 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6495 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6496 overridden using <override>.
6497 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6499 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6500 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6501 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6502 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6503 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6504 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6505 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6506 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6507 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6508 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6509 being set due to a premature free
6510 - command line tool: bash completion support
6511 - chain up in _finalize
6512 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6514 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6515 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6516 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6518 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6519 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6520 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6521 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6522 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6526 - always intern GBinding prop names
6527 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6528 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6529 - GNode docs improvements
6530 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6531 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

6538 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6539 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6540 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6541 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6542 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6543 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6545 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6546 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

6548 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6549 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6550 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6551 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

7236 ===================================================
7239 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7240 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7241 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7242 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7243 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7244 while loading or saving it.
7245 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7246 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7247 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7250 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7251 interfaces to dynamic types.
7254 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7255 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
7256 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

7975 ===================================================
7977 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7978 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7979 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

7981 also uses less memory overall.

7986 that a GError is set or unset
7988 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7990 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7991 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7993 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7994 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9608 =================================================
9610 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9611 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9612 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9614 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9615 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9618 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
9619 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
9620 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
9622 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
9624 * Memory management:
9625 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
9626 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
9627 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9628 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9629 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9630 never worked as intended.
9631 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9632 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9633 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9634 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9635 efficient and scalable implementation.
9636 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9639 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9640 unnecessary recursion.
9643 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:

9645 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9649 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9652 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9653 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9654 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9658 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9659 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9660 since they are in glib.h

10621 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
10622 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
10623 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
10624 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
10625 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
10626 * Many documentation improvements.
10631 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
