730 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.3
731 ==================================
733 * GLib has a structured logging API, g_log_structured, with support
734 for writing to the systemd journal. It also supports colored output
737 * Some new GBytes API has been added:
738 - g_key_file_load_from_bytes
739 - g_compute_hmac_for_bytes
741 * Stack-allocated GVariantBuilder and GVariantDict objects can now be
742 initialized with G_VARIANT_BUILDER_INIT and G_VARIANT_DICT_INIT
745 - Add a way to register handlers for custom uri schemes
746 - Add a G_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_FILESYSTEM_REMOTE attribute to
747 have these heuristics in a single place

822 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
823 ==================================
825 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
826 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
827 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
828 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
830 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
831 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
832 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
834 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
835 environment variable.
837 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
838 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

998 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
999 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
1000 is unavailable or undesired.
1002 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
1003 glib-networking will also be required.

1053 * Translation updates:
1057 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1058 ==================================
1060 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1061 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1062 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1063 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1065 This release corrects only this problem.
1067 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1068 ==================================
1070 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1071 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1072 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1074 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1420 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1421 ==================================
1423 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1424 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1425 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1426 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1427 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1428 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1430 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1431 have seen major improvements.
1433 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1434 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1435 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1438 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1440 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1442 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1444 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1445 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1446 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1447 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1448 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1449 you use the --strict option.
1451 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1452 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1453 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1455 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1457 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1458 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1459 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2404 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2405 ====================================================
2407 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2409 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2411 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2412 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2415 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2416 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2419 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2421 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2423 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2426 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2427 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2429 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2431 * Applications/Actions
2433 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2434 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2437 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2438 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2440 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2441 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2442 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2443 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2447 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2448 accesses that are performed in common situations
2450 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2451 are installed/removed
2453 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2454 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2456 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2457 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2462 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2464 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2465 that test programs don't pick them up
2467 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2469 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2470 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2471 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2472 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2474 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2475 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2477 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2478 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2479 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2483 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2485 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2487 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2489 Translations updated:

2507 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
2508 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
2509 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2539 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2540 ====================================================
2542 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2546 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2548 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2549 them can restart the application with an action (via
2554 - new API for launching subprocesses
2556 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2558 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2560 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2561 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2563 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2565 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2567 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2568 actions and listing apps and actions
2570 - bash tab completion is supported
2572 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2574 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2575 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2577 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2578 DBusActivatable=true
2580 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2581 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2586 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2588 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2589 class and inotify backend
2591 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2592 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2594 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2599 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2600 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2601 when there are invalid schemas installed
2603 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2607 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2608 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2610 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2613 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2614 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2615 semantics of the interface in each case
2617 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2618 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2620 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2622 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2623 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2624 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2625 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2629 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2632 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2634 * Portability improvements
2636 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2638 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2639 actually support it (like Hurd)
2641 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2643 * Other small API changes/additions
2645 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2646 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2647 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2649 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2651 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2652 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2654 * GMainContext/GSource
2656 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2658 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2659 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2660 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2661 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2662 broken and should probably be fixed.
2664 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2665 require use of a linked list
2669 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2670 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2671 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2673 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2677 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2678 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2679 gphoto, archive, at least).
2681 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2683 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2686 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2687 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2688 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2690 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2692 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2694 * Many documentation improvements
2697 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2698 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2699 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2752 What's new in Glib 2.38
2753 ========================
2755 * Application support
2757 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2758 desktop entry specification
2760 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2761 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2762 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2764 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2765 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2766 to launch other applications
2768 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2769 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2773 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2774 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2775 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2776 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2777 any problems that this may have caused.
2779 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2780 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2781 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2782 (allowing memory savings)
2784 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2785 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2786 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2788 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2789 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2792 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2793 without destroying one of the objects involved
2797 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2798 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2799 with a finite number of cases
2801 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2802 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2804 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2805 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2806 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2807 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2810 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2814 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2815 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2816 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2818 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2820 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2821 and an API to check them
2823 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2824 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2826 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2827 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2831 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2832 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2833 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2836 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2837 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2838 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2840 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2845 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2846 allow for regexp matching on streams
2848 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2849 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2850 g_variant_new_printf()
2854 - we can now generate TAP output
2856 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2857 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2859 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2864 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2987 ==============================================
2989 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2990 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2991 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2992 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2994 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2995 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2998 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3000 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3001 the key was locked down)

3063 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
3064 build the unmodified source
3066 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
3068 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
3069 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
3070 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
3077 698375 - D-Bus async properties

3083 ==============================================
3085 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3086 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3088 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3089 and will trigger a warning.
3092 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

3127 ==============================================
3129 * add support for installed tests:
3130 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
3132 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
3133 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3135 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3137 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3139 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3140 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3141 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3143 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

3175 ==============================================
3177 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3178 and a parser API for them is now provided
3180 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3181 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3182 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3245 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3247 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3248 the destination file
3250 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3252 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3274 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3275 ==============================================
3277 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3278 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3279 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3280 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3334 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3335 ==============================================
3337 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3338 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3339 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3340 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3341 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3345 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3346 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3348 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3349 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3350 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

3369 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3370 ==============================================
3372 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3374 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3375 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3377 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3378 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3380 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3393 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3394 ==============================================
3396 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

3400 ready at a specified monotonic time
3402 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3404 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3506 * Translation updates:
3521 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3522 ==============================================
3524 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3525 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3526 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3527 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3528 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3530 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3531 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not

3580 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3581 ==============================================
3583 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3584 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3585 causing regressions in applications.
3587 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3588 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3589 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3592 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3593 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3594 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3596 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3598 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3600 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3602 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3604 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3606 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3608 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3610 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3612 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3614 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3667 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3668 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3670 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3671 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3673 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3675 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

4511 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4512 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4513 to an overridden property
4514 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4515 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4517 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

4562 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4563 ==============================================
4565 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4566 moved to GtkApplication.
4568 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4569 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4570 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4571 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4573 * lots of documentation improvements
4575 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4577 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4578 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4580 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4582 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4584 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4586 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4587 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4590 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4591 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4602 * Translations updated:
4606 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4607 ==============================================
4609 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4610 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4611 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4614 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4615 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4616 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4619 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4620 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4621 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4622 through an idle on the context.
4624 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4625 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4626 fixes here and there.
4628 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4629 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4630 API available outside GLib
4632 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4674 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4675 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4677 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

4696 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4697 =================================================
4699 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4700 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4702 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4703 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4704 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4705 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4706 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4707 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4708 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4709 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4710 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4711 required (and has been deprecated)
4712 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4713 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4714 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4715 without explicit initialisation.
4716 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4717 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4718 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4720 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4721 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4722 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4723 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4724 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4725 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4726 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4728 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4729 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4730 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4731 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4732 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4733 - other implementation details changed
4735 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4736 deprecated/ directory.
4738 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4739 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4740 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4742 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4743 platform over a year ago).
4745 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4746 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4748 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4749 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4751 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4752 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4753 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4754 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4757 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4758 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4761 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4763 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4764 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4766 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4767 in a multi-threaded program
4769 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4770 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4773 - drop -uninstalled variants
4774 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4776 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4777 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4778 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4780 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4782 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4783 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4786 - many code generation updates and improvements
4787 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4790 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4791 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4793 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4795 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4798 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4799 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4801 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4802 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4804 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4806 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4810 * Partial list of bugs closed:

5236 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5237 ==============================================
5239 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5240 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5241 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5242 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5243 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5244 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5246 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5247 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5249 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5251 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5253 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5313 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5314 ==============================================
5317 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5318 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5319 an 'object manager' pattern:
5320 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5321 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5322 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5323 And server-side implementations:
5324 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5325 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5326 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5330 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5334 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5335 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5336 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5337 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5340 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5341 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5344 * Unix-specific APIs:
5345 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5346 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5347 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5348 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5349 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5350 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5374 * Updated translations
5381 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5382 ==============================================
5385 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5386 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5387 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5390 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5391 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5392 situations has been improved
5395 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5396 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5399 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5400 match strcmp() semantics
5401 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5402 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5403 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5405 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5406 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5409 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5411 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5413 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5414 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5415 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5703 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5706 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5708 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

5746 - Support environment passing
5749 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5750 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5752 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5753 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5754 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5758 158725 free linked list with data

5768 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5769 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5771 * Translation updates:
5777 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5778 ==============================================
5780 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5781 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5783 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5784 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5786 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5788 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5790 g_settings_get_range
5791 g_settings_range_check
5792 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5794 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5795 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5797 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5798 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5800 g_main_context_invoke
5801 g_main_context_invoke_full
5803 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5804 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5805 looking for default applications.
5807 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5808 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5809 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5810 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5812 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5813 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5814 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6071 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6072 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6073 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6075 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6076 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6077 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6078 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6081 There have been many other improvements, however:
6084 - vastly improved test coverage
6085 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6086 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6087 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6090 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

6135 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
6136 =====================================================
6138 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6139 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6140 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6141 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6142 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6143 | required (and will be along soon). |
6144 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6147 - cleanup automake setup
6148 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6149 - various docs fixups
6150 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6167 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6168 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6169 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6172 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6204 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6205 =====================================================
6207 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6208 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6209 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6210 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6211 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6214 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6215 -Bsymbolic-functions
6216 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6217 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6218 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6219 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6220 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6223 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6224 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6225 nobody was doing that.
6226 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6228 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6229 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6231 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6232 have a serial number
6233 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6235 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6237 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6238 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6239 has finished running on GDBus services.
6240 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6241 this due to the obvious race)
6242 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6243 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6246 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6247 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6248 arguments and different behaviour
6249 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6250 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6251 strings instead of utf8 strings
6252 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6253 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6254 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6255 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6256 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6257 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6258 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6259 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6260 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6263 - improved documentation
6264 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6265 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6266 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6267 overridden using <override>.
6268 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6270 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6271 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6272 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6273 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6274 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6275 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6276 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6277 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6278 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6279 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6280 being set due to a premature free
6281 - command line tool: bash completion support
6282 - chain up in _finalize
6283 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6285 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6286 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6287 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6289 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6290 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6291 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6292 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6293 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6297 - always intern GBinding prop names
6298 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6299 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6300 - GNode docs improvements
6301 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6302 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6303 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6307 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6308 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6309 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6310 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6311 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6312 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6313 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6314 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6316 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6317 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6318 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6319 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6320 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6321 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6322 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6323 610784 array test failing
6324 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6325 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
6326 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
6327 622124 implement flags
6328 622127 GSettings extended key validation
6329 622128 retry with default value for failed mapping
6330 622294 More annotations for GVariant
6331 622565 glib-compile-schemas fails when no schemas

7017 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7018 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7021 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7022 interfaces to dynamic types.
