218 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
219 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
220 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test

289 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
290 ==================================
292 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
293 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
294 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
295 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
297 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
298 directory for each unit test. (#538)
300 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
302 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
304 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
306 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
307 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
308 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
309 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
311 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
312 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
314 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
315 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
316 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
318 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
320 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
321 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
324 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
325 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
327 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
328 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
329 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
331 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
332 portal backends. (!317)
334 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
337 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
339 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
342 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
344 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
347 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
348 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
349 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
351 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
352 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
354 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
355 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
356 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
357 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
359 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
361 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

570 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
571 ==================================
573 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
574 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
575 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
576 with Meson or autotools. See:
577 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
579 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
581 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
582 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
584 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
586 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
588 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
589 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
590 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
591 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
594 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
595 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
596 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
597 !265 Network monitor again
598 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
599 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
600 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
601 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
602 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
603 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
605 * Translation updates:
615 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
616 ==================================
618 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
619 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
620 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
621 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
623 * Many minor documentation fixes.
625 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
627 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
629 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
631 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
632 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
634 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
636 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
637 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
638 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
641 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
643 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
646 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
647 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
648 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

2027 ==================================
2029 * The GApplication documentation has been improved in several areas.

2052 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2053 ==================================
2055 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2056 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2057 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2058 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2060 This release corrects only this problem.
2062 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2063 ==================================
2065 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2066 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2067 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2069 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2415 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2416 ==================================
2418 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2419 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2420 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2421 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2422 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2423 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2425 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2426 have seen major improvements.
2428 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2429 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2430 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2433 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2435 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2437 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2439 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2440 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2441 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2442 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2443 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2444 you use the --strict option.
2446 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2447 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2448 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2450 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2452 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2453 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2454 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2500 ===================================
2502 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2503 before the release of 2.44.0.
2505 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2507 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2508 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2509 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2510 default in the next cycle.
2512 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

3102 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
3103 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
3104 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3105 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3106 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3107 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
3109 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

3355 * Translations updates:
3362 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3363 ====================================================
3365 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3367 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3369 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3370 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3373 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3374 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3377 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3379 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3381 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3384 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3385 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3387 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3389 * Applications/Actions
3391 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3392 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3395 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3396 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3398 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3399 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3400 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3401 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3405 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3406 accesses that are performed in common situations
3408 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3409 are installed/removed
3411 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3412 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3414 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3415 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3420 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3422 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3423 that test programs don't pick them up
3425 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3427 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3428 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3429 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3430 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3432 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3433 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3435 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3436 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3437 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3441 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3443 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3445 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3447 Translations updated:
3455 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3463 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

3465 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3466 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3467 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3497 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3498 ====================================================
3500 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3504 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3506 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3507 them can restart the application with an action (via
3512 - new API for launching subprocesses
3514 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3516 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3518 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3519 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3521 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3523 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3525 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3526 actions and listing apps and actions
3528 - bash tab completion is supported
3530 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3532 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3533 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3535 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3536 DBusActivatable=true
3538 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3539 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3544 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3546 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3547 class and inotify backend
3549 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3550 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3552 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3557 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3558 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3559 when there are invalid schemas installed
3561 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3565 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3566 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3568 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3571 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3572 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3573 semantics of the interface in each case
3575 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3576 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3578 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3580 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3581 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3582 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3583 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3587 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3590 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3592 * Portability improvements
3594 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3596 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3597 actually support it (like Hurd)
3599 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3601 * Other small API changes/additions
3603 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3604 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3605 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3607 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3609 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3610 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3612 * GMainContext/GSource
3614 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3616 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3617 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3618 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3619 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3620 broken and should probably be fixed.
3622 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3623 require use of a linked list
3627 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3628 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3629 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3631 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3635 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3636 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3637 gphoto, archive, at least).
3639 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3641 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3644 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3645 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3646 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3648 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3650 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3652 * Many documentation improvements
3655 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

3710 What's new in Glib 2.38
3711 ========================
3713 * Application support
3715 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3716 desktop entry specification
3718 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3719 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3720 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3722 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3723 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3724 to launch other applications
3726 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3727 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3731 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3732 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3733 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3734 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3735 any problems that this may have caused.
3737 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3738 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3739 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3740 (allowing memory savings)
3742 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3743 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3744 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3746 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3747 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3750 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3751 without destroying one of the objects involved
3755 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3756 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3757 with a finite number of cases
3759 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3760 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3762 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3763 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3764 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3765 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3768 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3772 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3773 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3774 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3776 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3778 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3779 and an API to check them
3781 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3782 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3784 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3785 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3789 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3790 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3791 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3794 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3795 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3796 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3798 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3803 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3804 allow for regexp matching on streams
3806 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3807 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3808 g_variant_new_printf()
3812 - we can now generate TAP output
3814 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3815 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3817 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3822 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3947 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3948 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3949 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3950 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

4132 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
4133 ==============================================
4135 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4136 and a parser API for them is now provided
4138 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4139 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4140 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4292 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4293 ==============================================
4295 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4296 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4297 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4298 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4299 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4303 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4304 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4306 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4307 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4308 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4309 * documentation fixes
4310 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4313 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

4327 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4328 ==============================================
4330 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4332 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4333 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4335 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4336 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4338 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4351 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4352 ==============================================
4354 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
4357 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
4358 ready at a specified monotonic time
4360 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4362 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
4365 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
4366 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

4464 * Translation updates:
4479 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4480 ==============================================
4482 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4483 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4484 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4485 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4486 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4488 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4489 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4490 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4491 particular, are incompatible.
4493 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4538 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4539 ==============================================
4541 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4542 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4543 causing regressions in applications.
4545 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4546 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4547 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4550 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4551 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4552 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4554 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4556 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4558 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4560 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4562 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4564 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4566 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4568 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4570 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4572 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4622 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
4623 ==============================================
4625 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4626 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4628 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4629 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4631 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4633 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
4635 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
4637 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
4639 * GLib version macros updated
4641 * Update to Unicode 6.2

5469 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5470 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5471 to an overridden property
5472 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5473 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5475 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5476 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

5521 ==============================================
5523 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5524 moved to GtkApplication.
5526 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5527 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5528 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5529 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5531 * lots of documentation improvements
5533 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5535 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5536 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5538 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5540 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5542 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5544 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5545 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)

5564 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5565 ==============================================
5567 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5568 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5569 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5572 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5573 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5574 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5577 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5578 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5579 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5580 through an idle on the context.
5582 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5583 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5584 fixes here and there.
5586 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5587 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5588 API available outside GLib

5633 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5635 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5638 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5639 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
5640 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
5643 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
5644 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

5654 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5655 =================================================
5657 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5658 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5660 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5661 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5662 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5663 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5664 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5665 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5666 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5667 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5668 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5669 required (and has been deprecated)
5670 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5671 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5672 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5673 without explicit initialisation.
5674 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5675 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5676 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5678 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5679 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5680 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5681 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5682 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5683 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5684 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5686 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5687 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5688 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5689 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5690 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5691 - other implementation details changed
5693 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5694 deprecated/ directory.
5696 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5697 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5698 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5700 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5701 platform over a year ago).
5703 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5704 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5706 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5707 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5709 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5710 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5711 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5712 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5715 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5716 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5719 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5721 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5722 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5724 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5725 in a multi-threaded program
5727 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5728 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5731 - drop -uninstalled variants
5732 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5734 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5735 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5736 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5738 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5740 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5741 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5744 - many code generation updates and improvements
5745 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5748 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5749 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5751 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5753 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5756 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5757 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5759 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5760 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5762 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5764 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5768 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5769 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6194 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6195 ==============================================
6197 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6198 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6199 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6200 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6201 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6202 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6204 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6205 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6207 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6209 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6211 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
6213 * Introspection improvements:

6262 * Updated translations:
6271 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6272 ==============================================
6275 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6276 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6277 an 'object manager' pattern:
6278 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6279 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6280 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6281 And server-side implementations:
6282 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6283 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6284 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6288 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6292 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6293 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6294 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6295 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6298 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6299 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6302 * Unix-specific APIs:
6303 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6304 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6305 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6306 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6307 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6308 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
6311 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

6324 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
6325 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
6326 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
6327 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

6330 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6332 * Updated translations
6339 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6340 ==============================================
6343 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6344 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6345 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6348 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6349 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6350 situations has been improved
6353 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6354 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6357 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6358 match strcmp() semantics
6359 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6360 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6361 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6363 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6364 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6367 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6369 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6371 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6372 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6373 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6735 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6736 ==============================================
6738 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6739 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6741 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6742 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6744 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6746 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6748 g_settings_get_range
6749 g_settings_range_check
6750 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6752 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6753 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6755 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6756 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6758 g_main_context_invoke
6759 g_main_context_invoke_full
6761 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6762 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6763 looking for default applications.
6765 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6766 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6767 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6768 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6770 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6771 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6772 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
6775 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

7027 =====================================================
7029 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7030 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7031 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7033 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7034 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7035 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7036 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7039 There have been many other improvements, however:
7042 - vastly improved test coverage
7043 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7044 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7045 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

7094 =====================================================
7096 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7097 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7098 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7099 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7100 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7101 | required (and will be along soon). |
7102 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7105 - cleanup automake setup
7106 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7107 - various docs fixups
7108 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7114 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
7115 - add g_settings_reset()
7116 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
7119 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

7125 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7126 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7127 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7130 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7134 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
7135 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
7138 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
7139 617483 Credentials passing

7163 =====================================================
7165 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7166 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7167 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7168 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7169 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7172 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7173 -Bsymbolic-functions
7174 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7175 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7176 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7177 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7178 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7181 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7182 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7183 nobody was doing that.
7184 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7186 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7187 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7189 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7190 have a serial number
7191 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7193 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7195 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7196 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7197 has finished running on GDBus services.
7198 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7199 this due to the obvious race)
7200 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7201 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7204 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7205 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7206 arguments and different behaviour
7207 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7208 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7209 strings instead of utf8 strings
7210 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7211 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7212 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7213 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7214 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7215 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7216 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7217 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7218 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7221 - improved documentation
7222 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7223 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7224 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7225 overridden using <override>.
7226 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7228 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7229 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7230 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7231 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7232 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7233 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7234 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7235 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7236 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7237 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7238 being set due to a premature free
7239 - command line tool: bash completion support
7240 - chain up in _finalize
7241 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7243 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7244 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7245 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7247 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7248 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7249 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7250 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7251 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7255 - always intern GBinding prop names
7256 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7257 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7258 - GNode docs improvements
7259 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7260 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7261 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7265 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7266 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7267 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7268 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7269 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7270 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7271 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7272 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7274 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7275 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7276 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7277 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7278 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7279 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7280 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

7965 ===================================================
7968 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7969 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7970 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7971 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7972 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7973 while loading or saving it.
7974 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7975 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7976 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7979 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7980 interfaces to dynamic types.
7983 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7984 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
7985 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

8703 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
8704 ===================================================
8706 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
8707 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
8708 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
8709 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
8710 also uses less memory overall.
8712 * Make g_poll available as public api
8714 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
8715 that a GError is set or unset
8717 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
8719 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8720 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8722 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
8723 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10303 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
10304 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10305 variants [Martyn Russell]

10337 =================================================
10339 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10340 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10341 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10343 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10344 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10347 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10348 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10349 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10350 "stutter stepping".
10351 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10353 * Memory management:
10354 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10355 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10356 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10357 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10358 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10359 never worked as intended.
10360 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10361 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10362 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10363 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10364 efficient and scalable implementation.
10365 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10367 * Pattern matching:
10368 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10369 unnecessary recursion.
10372 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10373 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10374 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10377 * g_thread_foreach:
10378 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10381 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10382 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10383 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10387 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10388 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10389 since they are in glib.h
