516 =====================================================
518 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
519 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
520 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
521 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
522 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
523 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

771 * Translations updates:
778 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
779 ====================================================
781 * GSettings fixes/improvements
783 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
785 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
786 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
789 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
790 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
793 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
795 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
797 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
800 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
801 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
803 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
805 * Applications/Actions
807 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
808 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
811 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
812 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
814 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
815 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
816 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
817 not itself at fault for the errant call)
821 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
822 accesses that are performed in common situations
824 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
825 are installed/removed
827 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
828 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
830 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
831 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
836 - ignore qualified tags, as above
838 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
839 that test programs don't pick them up
841 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
843 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
844 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
845 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
846 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
848 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
849 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
851 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
852 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
853 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
857 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
859 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
861 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
863 Translations updated:
871 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
872 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
873 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
874 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
875 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
876 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
877 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
878 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
879 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
880 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
881 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
882 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
883 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
884 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE

913 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
914 ====================================================
916 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
920 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
922 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
923 them can restart the application with an action (via
928 - new API for launching subprocesses
930 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
932 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
934 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
935 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
937 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
939 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
941 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
942 actions and listing apps and actions
944 - bash tab completion is supported
946 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
948 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
949 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
951 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
954 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
955 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
960 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
962 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
963 class and inotify backend
965 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
966 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
968 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
973 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
974 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
975 when there are invalid schemas installed
977 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
981 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
982 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
984 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
987 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
988 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
989 semantics of the interface in each case
991 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
992 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
994 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
996 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
997 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
998 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
999 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1003 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1006 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1008 * Portability improvements
1010 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1012 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1013 actually support it (like Hurd)
1015 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1017 * Other small API changes/additions
1019 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1020 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1021 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1023 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1025 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1026 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1028 * GMainContext/GSource
1030 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1032 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1033 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1034 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1035 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1036 broken and should probably be fixed.
1038 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1039 require use of a linked list
1043 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1044 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1045 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1047 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1051 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1052 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1053 gphoto, archive, at least).
1055 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1057 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1060 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1061 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1062 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1064 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1066 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1068 * Many documentation improvements
1071 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
1072 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
1073 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

1126 What's new in Glib 2.38
1127 ========================
1129 * Application support
1131 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1132 desktop entry specification
1134 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1135 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1136 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1138 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1139 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1140 to launch other applications
1142 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1143 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1147 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1148 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1149 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1150 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1151 any problems that this may have caused.
1153 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1154 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1155 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1156 (allowing memory savings)
1158 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1159 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1160 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1162 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1163 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1166 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1167 without destroying one of the objects involved
1171 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1172 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1173 with a finite number of cases
1175 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1176 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1178 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1179 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1180 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1181 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1184 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1188 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1189 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1190 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1192 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1194 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1195 and an API to check them
1197 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1198 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1200 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1201 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1205 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1206 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1207 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1210 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1211 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1212 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1214 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1219 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1220 allow for regexp matching on streams
1222 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1223 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1224 g_variant_new_printf()
1228 - we can now generate TAP output
1230 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1231 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1233 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1238 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1363 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1364 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1365 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1366 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

1460 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
1462 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
1463 and will trigger a warning.

1507 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
1509 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
1511 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
1513 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

1549 ==============================================
1551 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1552 and a parser API for them is now provided
1554 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1555 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1556 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1651 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1652 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1653 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1654 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1709 ==============================================
1711 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1712 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1713 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1714 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1715 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1719 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1720 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1722 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

1743 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1744 ==============================================
1746 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1748 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1749 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1751 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1752 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1754 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)

1880 * Translation updates:
1895 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1896 ==============================================
1898 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1899 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1900 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1901 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1902 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1904 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1905 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1906 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1907 particular, are incompatible.
1909 * Bugs fixed in this release:
1910 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
1911 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

1943 * Translation updates:
1954 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1955 ==============================================
1957 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1958 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1959 causing regressions in applications.
1961 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1962 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1963 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1966 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1967 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1968 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1970 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1972 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1974 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1976 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1978 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1980 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1982 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1984 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
1986 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
1988 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2038 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
2039 ==============================================
2041 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
2042 give feedback if they cause trouble:
2044 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
2045 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2047 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
2049 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

2885 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2886 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2887 to an overridden property

2936 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2937 ==============================================
2939 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2940 moved to GtkApplication.
2942 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2943 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2944 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2945 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2947 * lots of documentation improvements
2949 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2951 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2952 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2954 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2956 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2958 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2960 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2961 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2964 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2965 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2980 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2981 ==============================================
2983 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2984 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2985 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2988 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2989 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2990 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2993 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2994 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2995 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2996 through an idle on the context.
2998 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2999 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3000 fixes here and there.
3002 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3003 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3004 API available outside GLib

3070 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3071 =================================================
3073 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3074 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3076 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3077 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3078 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3079 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3080 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3081 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3082 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3083 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3084 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3085 required (and has been deprecated)
3086 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3087 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3088 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3089 without explicit initialisation.
3090 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3091 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3092 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3094 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3095 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3096 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3097 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3098 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3099 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3100 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3102 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3103 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3104 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3105 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3106 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3107 - other implementation details changed
3109 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3110 deprecated/ directory.
3112 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3113 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3114 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3116 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3117 platform over a year ago).
3119 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3120 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3122 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3123 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3125 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3126 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3127 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3128 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3131 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3132 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3135 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3137 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3138 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3140 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3141 in a multi-threaded program
3143 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3144 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3147 - drop -uninstalled variants
3148 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3150 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3151 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3152 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3154 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3156 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3157 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3160 - many code generation updates and improvements
3161 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3164 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3165 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3167 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3169 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3172 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3173 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3175 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3176 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3178 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3180 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3184 * Partial list of bugs closed:

3614 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3615 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3616 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3617 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3618 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3620 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3621 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3623 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3625 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
3627 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
3629 * Introspection improvements:

3687 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3688 ==============================================
3691 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3692 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3693 an 'object manager' pattern:
3694 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3695 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3696 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3697 And server-side implementations:
3698 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3699 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3700 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3704 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3708 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3709 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3710 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3711 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3714 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3715 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3718 * Unix-specific APIs:
3719 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3720 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3721 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3722 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3723 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3724 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
3727 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
3728 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

3732 643134 g_dbus_message_copy
3733 644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
3734 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
3735 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
3736 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
3737 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
3738 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
3739 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
3740 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
3741 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
3742 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
3743 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
3744 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
3745 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
3746 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
3748 * Updated translations
3755 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3756 ==============================================
3759 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3760 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3761 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3764 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3765 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3766 situations has been improved
3769 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3770 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3773 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3774 match strcmp() semantics
3775 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3776 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3777 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3779 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3780 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3783 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3785 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3787 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3788 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3789 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4069 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
4070 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
4075 g_get_monotonic_time
4077 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
4080 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
4082 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
4084 g_simple_async_result_take_error
4085 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
4086 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
4088 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
4091 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
4092 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
4093 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
4095 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:

4115 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
4116 ==============================================
4119 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
4120 - Support environment passing
4123 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4124 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4126 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4127 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4128 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
4132 158725 free linked list with data
4133 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

4142 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
4143 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
4145 * Translation updates:
4151 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4152 ==============================================
4154 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4155 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4157 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4158 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4160 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4162 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4164 g_settings_get_range
4165 g_settings_range_check
4166 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4168 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4169 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4171 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4172 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4174 g_main_context_invoke
4175 g_main_context_invoke_full
4177 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4178 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4179 looking for default applications.
4181 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4182 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4183 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4184 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4186 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4187 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4188 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
4191 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

4443 =====================================================
4445 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4446 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4447 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4449 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4450 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4451 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4452 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4455 There have been many other improvements, however:
4458 - vastly improved test coverage
4459 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4460 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4461 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

4510 =====================================================
4512 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4513 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4514 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4515 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4516 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4517 | required (and will be along soon). |
4518 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4521 - cleanup automake setup
4522 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4523 - various docs fixups
4524 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

4530 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
4531 - add g_settings_reset()
4532 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
4535 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

4537 - proper support for file descriptor passing
4538 - new flags parameter for sending messages
4539 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
4540 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
4541 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
4542 - constness fixes for introspection structures
4543 - clean ups to subtree registration API
4546 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

4549 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
4550 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
4551 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
4554 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
4555 617483 Credentials passing
4556 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

4578 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4579 =====================================================
4581 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4582 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4583 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4584 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4585 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4588 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4589 -Bsymbolic-functions
4590 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4591 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4592 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4593 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4594 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4597 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4598 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4599 nobody was doing that.
4600 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4602 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4603 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4605 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4606 have a serial number
4607 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4609 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4611 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4612 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4613 has finished running on GDBus services.
4614 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4615 this due to the obvious race)
4616 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4617 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4620 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4621 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4622 arguments and different behaviour
4623 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4624 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4625 strings instead of utf8 strings
4626 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4627 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4628 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4629 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4630 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4631 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4632 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4633 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4634 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4637 - improved documentation
4638 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4639 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4640 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4641 overridden using <override>.
4642 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4644 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4645 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4646 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4647 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4648 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4649 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4650 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4651 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4652 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4653 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4654 being set due to a premature free
4655 - command line tool: bash completion support
4656 - chain up in _finalize
4657 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4659 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4660 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4661 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4663 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4664 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4665 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4666 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4667 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4671 - always intern GBinding prop names
4672 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4673 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4674 - GNode docs improvements
4675 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4676 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4677 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4681 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4682 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4683 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4684 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4685 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4686 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4687 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4688 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4690 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4691 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4692 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4693 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4694 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4695 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4696 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

4808 | WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and |
4809 | GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In |
4810 | particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
4812 +----------------------------------------------------------------+
4815 - Use Gio's default async implementation
4816 - Fix proxy construction for objects with no properties
4817 - Fix error handling in synchronous initialization
4818 - Do not dispatch calls to unregistered objects
4819 - Add _with_closures alternative functions

5381 ===================================================
5384 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
5385 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
5386 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
5387 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
5388 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
5389 while loading or saving it.
5390 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
5391 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5392 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5395 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5396 interfaces to dynamic types.
5399 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
5400 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
