1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2 ==================================
4 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
5 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
6 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
7 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
9 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
10 directory for each unit test. (#538)
12 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
14 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
16 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
18 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
19 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
20 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
21 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
23 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
24 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
26 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
27 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
28 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
30 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
32 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
33 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
36 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
37 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
39 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
40 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
41 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
43 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
44 portal backends. (!317)
46 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
49 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
51 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
54 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
56 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
59 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
60 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
61 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
63 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
64 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
66 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
67 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
68 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
69 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
71 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
73 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

282 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
283 ==================================
285 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
286 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
287 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
288 with Meson or autotools. See:
289 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
291 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
293 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
294 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
296 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
298 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
300 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
301 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
302 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
303 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
306 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
307 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
308 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)

315 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
317 * Translation updates:
327 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
328 ==================================
330 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
331 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
332 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
333 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
335 * Many minor documentation fixes.
337 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
339 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
341 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
343 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
344 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
346 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
348 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
349 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
350 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
353 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
355 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
358 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

1529 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
1530 ==================================
1532 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1533 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1534 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1535 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1537 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1538 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1539 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1541 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1542 environment variable.
1544 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1545 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1707 is unavailable or undesired.
1709 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
1710 glib-networking will also be required.

1760 * Translation updates:
1764 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1765 ==================================
1767 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1768 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1769 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1770 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1772 This release corrects only this problem.
1774 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1775 ==================================
1777 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1778 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1779 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1781 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2127 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2128 ==================================
2130 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2131 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2132 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2133 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2134 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2135 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2137 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2138 have seen major improvements.
2140 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2141 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2142 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2145 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2147 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2149 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2151 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2152 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2153 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2154 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2155 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2156 you use the --strict option.
2158 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2159 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2160 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2162 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2164 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2165 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2166 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2212 ===================================
2214 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2215 before the release of 2.44.0.
2217 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2219 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2220 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2221 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2222 default in the next cycle.
2224 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
2226 * new GTask:completed property
2228 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
2229 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

2269 ===================================
2271 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
2272 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
2273 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
2275 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
2276 effective busy state.
2278 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

2329 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
2331 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
2332 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

2703 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
2704 and NULL pointer dereferences.
2706 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
2707 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).

2817 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2818 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2819 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

3074 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3075 ====================================================
3077 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3079 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3081 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3082 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3085 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3086 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3089 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3091 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3093 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3096 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3097 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3099 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3101 * Applications/Actions
3103 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3104 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3107 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3108 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3110 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3111 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3112 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3113 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3117 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3118 accesses that are performed in common situations
3120 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3121 are installed/removed
3123 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3124 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3126 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3127 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3132 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3134 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3135 that test programs don't pick them up
3137 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3139 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3140 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3141 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3142 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3144 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3145 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3147 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3148 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3149 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3153 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3155 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3157 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

3209 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3210 ====================================================
3212 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3216 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3218 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3219 them can restart the application with an action (via
3224 - new API for launching subprocesses
3226 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3228 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3230 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3231 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3233 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3235 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3237 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3238 actions and listing apps and actions
3240 - bash tab completion is supported
3242 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3244 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3245 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3247 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3248 DBusActivatable=true
3250 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3251 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3256 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3258 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3259 class and inotify backend
3261 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3262 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3264 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3269 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3270 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3271 when there are invalid schemas installed
3273 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3277 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3278 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3280 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3283 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3284 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3285 semantics of the interface in each case
3287 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3288 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3290 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3292 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3293 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3294 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3295 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3299 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3302 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3304 * Portability improvements
3306 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3308 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3309 actually support it (like Hurd)
3311 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3313 * Other small API changes/additions
3315 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3316 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3317 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3319 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3321 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3322 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3324 * GMainContext/GSource
3326 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3328 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3329 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3330 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3331 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3332 broken and should probably be fixed.
3334 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3335 require use of a linked list
3339 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3340 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3341 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3343 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3347 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3348 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3349 gphoto, archive, at least).
3351 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3353 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3356 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3357 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3358 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3360 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3362 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3364 * Many documentation improvements
3367 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3368 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3369 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3422 What's new in Glib 2.38
3423 ========================
3425 * Application support
3427 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3428 desktop entry specification
3430 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3431 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3432 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3434 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3435 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3436 to launch other applications
3438 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3439 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3443 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3444 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3445 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3446 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3447 any problems that this may have caused.
3449 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3450 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3451 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3452 (allowing memory savings)
3454 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3455 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3456 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3458 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3459 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3462 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3463 without destroying one of the objects involved
3467 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3468 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3469 with a finite number of cases
3471 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3472 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3474 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3475 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3476 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3477 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3480 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3484 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3485 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3486 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3488 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3490 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3491 and an API to check them
3493 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3494 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3496 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3497 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3501 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3502 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3503 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3506 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3507 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3508 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3510 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3515 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3516 allow for regexp matching on streams
3518 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3519 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3520 g_variant_new_printf()
3524 - we can now generate TAP output
3526 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3527 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3529 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3534 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3657 ==============================================
3659 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3660 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3661 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3662 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3664 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3665 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3668 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3670 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3671 the key was locked down)

3809 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3810 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3811 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3813 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

3844 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3845 ==============================================
3847 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3848 and a parser API for them is now provided
3850 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3851 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3852 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3913 ==============================================
3915 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3917 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3918 the destination file
3920 - fix some 'available since' annotations

3945 ==============================================
3947 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3948 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3949 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3950 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4004 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4005 ==============================================
4007 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4008 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4009 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4010 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4011 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4015 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris

4040 ==============================================
4042 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4044 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4045 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4047 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4048 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4050 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4063 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4064 ==============================================
4066 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
4069 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
4070 ready at a specified monotonic time
4072 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4074 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

4176 * Translation updates:
4191 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4192 ==============================================
4194 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4195 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4196 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4197 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4198 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4200 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4201 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4202 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4203 particular, are incompatible.
4205 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4250 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4251 ==============================================
4253 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4254 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4255 causing regressions in applications.
4257 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4258 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4259 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4262 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4263 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4264 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4266 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4268 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4270 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4272 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4274 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4276 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4278 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4280 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4282 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4284 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4334 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
4335 ==============================================
4337 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4338 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4340 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4341 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4343 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4345 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
4347 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
4349 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
4351 * GLib version macros updated
4353 * Update to Unicode 6.2
4355 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
4357 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
4359 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
4361 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
4362 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

5181 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5182 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5183 to an overridden property
5184 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5185 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5187 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5188 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

5232 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5233 ==============================================
5235 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5236 moved to GtkApplication.
5238 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5239 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5240 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5241 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5243 * lots of documentation improvements
5245 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5247 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5248 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5250 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5252 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5254 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5256 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5257 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5260 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5261 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5272 * Translations updated:
5276 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5277 ==============================================
5279 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5280 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5281 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5284 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5285 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5286 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5289 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5290 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5291 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5292 through an idle on the context.
5294 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5295 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5296 fixes here and there.
5298 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5299 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5300 API available outside GLib
5302 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5343 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
5344 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5345 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5347 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5350 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5351 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
5352 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
5355 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
5356 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

5363 - various GIO file and stream fixes
5364 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
5366 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5367 =================================================
5369 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5370 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5372 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5373 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5374 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5375 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5376 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5377 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5378 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5379 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5380 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5381 required (and has been deprecated)
5382 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5383 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5384 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5385 without explicit initialisation.
5386 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5387 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5388 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5390 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5391 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5392 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5393 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5394 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5395 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5396 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5398 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5399 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5400 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5401 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5402 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5403 - other implementation details changed
5405 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5406 deprecated/ directory.
5408 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5409 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5410 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5412 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5413 platform over a year ago).
5415 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5416 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5418 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5419 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5421 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5422 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5423 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5424 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5427 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5428 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5431 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5433 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5434 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5436 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5437 in a multi-threaded program
5439 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5440 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5443 - drop -uninstalled variants
5444 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5446 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5447 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5448 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5450 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5452 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5453 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5456 - many code generation updates and improvements
5457 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5460 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5461 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5463 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5465 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5468 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5469 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5471 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5472 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5474 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5476 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5480 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5481 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5907 ==============================================
5909 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5910 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5911 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5912 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5913 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5914 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5916 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5917 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5919 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5921 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

5974 * Updated translations:
5983 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5984 ==============================================
5987 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5988 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5989 an 'object manager' pattern:
5990 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5991 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5992 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5993 And server-side implementations:
5994 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5995 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5996 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6000 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6004 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6005 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6006 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6007 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6010 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6011 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6014 * Unix-specific APIs:
6015 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6016 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6017 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6018 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6019 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6020 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6044 * Updated translations
6051 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6052 ==============================================
6055 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6056 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6057 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6060 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6061 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6062 situations has been improved
6065 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6066 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6069 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6070 match strcmp() semantics
6071 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6072 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6073 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6075 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6076 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6079 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6081 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6083 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6084 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6085 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6416 - Support environment passing
6419 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6420 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6422 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6423 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6424 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6428 158725 free linked list with data

6441 * Translation updates:
6447 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6448 ==============================================
6450 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6451 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6453 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6454 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6456 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6458 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6460 g_settings_get_range
6461 g_settings_range_check
6462 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6464 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6465 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6467 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6468 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6470 g_main_context_invoke
6471 g_main_context_invoke_full
6473 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6474 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6475 looking for default applications.
6477 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6478 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6479 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6480 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6482 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6483 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6484 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6742 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6743 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6745 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6746 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6747 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6748 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6751 There have been many other improvements, however:
6754 - vastly improved test coverage
6755 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6756 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6757 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6760 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
6763 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
6764 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
6765 - improve debug output, add some extra options
6766 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
6768 - sort property names correctly
6769 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
6771 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
6774 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
6775 without mapping functions
6776 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
6779 - improve closure support for bindings
6780 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
6783 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

6806 =====================================================
6808 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6809 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6810 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6811 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6812 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6813 | required (and will be along soon). |
6814 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6817 - cleanup automake setup
6818 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6819 - various docs fixups
6820 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6874 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6875 =====================================================
6877 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6878 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6879 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6880 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6881 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6884 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6885 -Bsymbolic-functions
6886 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6887 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6888 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6889 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6890 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6893 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6894 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6895 nobody was doing that.
6896 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6898 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6899 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6901 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6902 have a serial number
6903 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6905 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6907 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6908 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6909 has finished running on GDBus services.
6910 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6911 this due to the obvious race)
6912 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6913 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6916 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6917 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6918 arguments and different behaviour
6919 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6920 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6921 strings instead of utf8 strings
6922 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6923 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6924 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6925 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6926 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6927 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6928 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6929 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6930 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6933 - improved documentation
6934 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6935 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6936 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6937 overridden using <override>.
6938 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6940 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6941 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6942 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6943 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6944 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6945 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6946 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6947 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6948 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6949 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6950 being set due to a premature free
6951 - command line tool: bash completion support
6952 - chain up in _finalize
6953 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6955 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6956 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6957 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6959 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6960 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6961 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6962 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6963 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6967 - always intern GBinding prop names
6968 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6969 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6970 - GNode docs improvements
6971 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6972 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6973 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6977 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6978 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6979 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6980 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6981 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6982 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6983 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6984 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6986 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6987 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6988 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6989 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6990 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6991 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6992 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6993 610784 array test failing
6994 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6995 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

7684 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7685 while loading or saving it.
7686 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7687 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7688 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7691 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7692 interfaces to dynamic types.

8416 ===================================================
8418 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
8419 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
8420 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

8422 also uses less memory overall.
8424 * Make g_poll available as public api
8426 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
8427 that a GError is set or unset
8429 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
8431 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8432 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8434 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
8435 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10013 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
10014 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
10015 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
10016 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10017 variants [Martyn Russell]
10020 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
10021 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
10024 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
10027 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
10028 constants [Andrew Paprocki]

10049 =================================================
10051 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10052 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10053 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10055 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10056 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10059 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10060 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10061 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10062 "stutter stepping".
10063 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10065 * Memory management:
10066 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10067 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10068 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10069 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10070 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10071 never worked as intended.
10072 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10073 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10074 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10075 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10076 efficient and scalable implementation.
10077 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10079 * Pattern matching:
10080 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10081 unnecessary recursion.
10084 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10085 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10086 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10089 * g_thread_foreach:
10090 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10093 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10094 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10095 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10099 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10100 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10101 since they are in glib.h
