1 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
2 ==============================================
5 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6 - Support environment passing
9 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
10 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
12 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
13 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
14 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
18 158725 free linked list with data
19 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
20 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
21 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
22 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
23 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
24 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
25 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option
26 633115 GSettings m4 doesn't fail the build for broken schemas
27 633206 Default g_application_local_command_line() doesn't set exit_status...
28 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
29 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
31 * Translation updates:
37 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
38 ==============================================
40 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
41 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
43 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
44 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
46 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
48 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
51 g_settings_range_check
52 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
54 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
55 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
57 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
58 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
61 g_main_context_invoke_full
63 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
64 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
65 looking for default applications.
67 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
68 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
69 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
70 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
72 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
73 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
74 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
77 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
78 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality
79 620710 g_get_user_data_dir() uses CSIDL_PERSONAL and not CSIDL_APPDATA
80 623400 acquire context before dispatching
81 627126 gsettings schema files don't get installed on FreeBSD
82 627171 g_socket_new_from_fd() doesn't set the right protocol
83 628876 Wrong error description
84 628937 gracefully handle broken schemas
85 629274 GNetworkService doesn't fallback when there is no SRV record
86 629289 g_error() used wrong, produces core dump
87 629687 leaks class refcount in gsocketcontrolmessage
88 629849 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_source_get_context: assertion `!SOURCE_...
89 629945 GDBus deadlock in g_bus_get_sync()
90 630000 g_date_time_difference
91 630077 GDateTime week number support
92 630185 Allow NULL strings in g_quark_try_string()
93 630797 docs mention non-existent g_object_dispose()
94 630968 gschema-compile problems on power g5
95 631263 GSettings needs range/choice APIs
96 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
97 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
98 631410 Port gapplookupgconf.c to using x-scheme-handler/
99 632884 Possible deadlock in g_object_remove_toggle_ref()

331 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
332 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
333 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
335 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
336 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
337 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
338 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
341 There have been many other improvements, however:
344 - vastly improved test coverage
345 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
346 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
347 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

398 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
399 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
400 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
401 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
402 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |

464 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
465 =====================================================
467 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
468 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
469 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
470 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
471 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
474 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
476 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
477 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
478 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
479 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
480 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
483 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
484 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
485 nobody was doing that.
486 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
488 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
489 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
491 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
493 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
495 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
497 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
498 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
499 has finished running on GDBus services.
500 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
501 this due to the obvious race)
502 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
503 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
506 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
507 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
508 arguments and different behaviour
509 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
510 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
511 strings instead of utf8 strings
512 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
513 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
514 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
515 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
516 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
517 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
518 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
519 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
520 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
523 - improved documentation
524 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
525 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
526 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
527 overridden using <override>.
528 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
530 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
531 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
532 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
533 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
534 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
535 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
536 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
537 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
538 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
539 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
540 being set due to a premature free
541 - command line tool: bash completion support
542 - chain up in _finalize
543 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
545 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
546 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
547 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
549 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
550 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
551 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
552 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
553 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
557 - always intern GBinding prop names
558 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
559 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
560 - GNode docs improvements
561 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
562 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
563 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
567 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
568 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
569 - improved tests for GKeyfile

571 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
572 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
573 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
574 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
576 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
577 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
578 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
579 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
580 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
581 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
582 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
583 610784 array test failing
584 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
585 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

1267 ===================================================
1270 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1271 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1272 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1273 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1274 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1275 while loading or saving it.
1276 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1277 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1278 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1281 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1282 interfaces to dynamic types.
1285 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
1286 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
1287 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
