696 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
698 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing

905 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
907 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
908 of packaged libraries (!951)

1069 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
1070 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

1367 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.1
1368 ==================================
1370 * Autotools support is gone. (!580)
1372 * g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;
1373 translations will need to be updated accordingly. (#1625)
1375 * New g_queue_clear_full() API. (#1464)
1377 * Fix argument quoting on win32 when spawning subprocesses. (!419)
1379 * Allow polling more than 64 handles on win32 using g_poll(). (#1071)
1381 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
1382 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1383 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1384 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
1386 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
1388 * Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be
1389 used for flatpaks. (!450)
1391 * Accept unquoted strings in the keyfile GSettings backend to simplify things
1392 for sysadmins. (!603)
1394 * Update our contribution guidelines (`CONTRIBUTING.md`). (!590)
1396 * Add writev() and writev_all() APIs to GOutputStream and GPollableOutputStream,
1397 and provide implementations of them for many subclasses. (#1431)

1452 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1453 ==================================
1455 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1456 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1457 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1458 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1460 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1461 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1463 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1465 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1467 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1469 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1470 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1471 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1472 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1474 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1475 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1477 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1478 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1479 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1481 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1483 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1484 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1487 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1488 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1490 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1491 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1492 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1494 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1495 portal backends. (!317)
1497 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1500 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1502 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1505 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1507 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1510 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1511 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1512 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1514 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1515 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1517 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1518 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1519 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1520 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1522 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1524 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1733 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1734 ==================================
1736 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1737 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1738 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1739 with Meson or autotools. See:
1740 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1742 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1744 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1745 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1747 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1749 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1751 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1752 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`

1778 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1779 ==================================
1781 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1782 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1783 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1784 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1786 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1788 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1790 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1792 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1794 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1795 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1797 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1799 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1800 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1801 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1804 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1806 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1809 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

2981 ==================================
2983 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
2984 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
2985 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
2986 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
2988 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
2989 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
2990 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
2992 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
2993 environment variable.
2995 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
2996 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3157 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3158 is unavailable or undesired.
3160 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3161 glib-networking will also be required.

3215 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3216 ==================================
3218 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3219 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3220 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3221 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3223 This release corrects only this problem.
3225 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3226 ==================================
3228 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3229 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3230 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3232 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3578 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3579 ==================================
3581 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3582 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3583 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3584 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3585 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3586 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3588 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3589 have seen major improvements.
3591 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3592 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3593 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3596 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3598 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3600 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3602 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3603 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3604 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3605 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3606 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3607 you use the --strict option.
3609 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3610 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3611 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3613 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3615 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3616 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3617 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3663 ===================================
3665 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3666 before the release of 2.44.0.
3668 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3670 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3671 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3672 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3673 default in the next cycle.
3675 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

4269 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4270 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4525 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4526 ====================================================
4528 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4530 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4532 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4533 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4536 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4537 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4540 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4542 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4544 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4547 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4548 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4550 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4552 * Applications/Actions
4554 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4555 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4558 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4559 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4561 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4562 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4563 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4564 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4568 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4569 accesses that are performed in common situations
4571 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4572 are installed/removed
4574 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4575 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4577 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4578 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4583 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4585 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4586 that test programs don't pick them up
4588 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4590 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4591 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4592 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4593 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4595 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4596 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4598 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4599 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4600 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4604 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4606 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4608 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

4660 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4661 ====================================================
4663 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4667 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4669 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4670 them can restart the application with an action (via
4675 - new API for launching subprocesses
4677 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4679 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4681 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4682 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4684 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4686 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4688 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4689 actions and listing apps and actions
4691 - bash tab completion is supported
4693 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4695 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4696 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4698 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4699 DBusActivatable=true
4701 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4702 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4707 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4709 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4710 class and inotify backend
4712 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4713 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4715 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4720 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4721 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4722 when there are invalid schemas installed
4724 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4728 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4729 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4731 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4734 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4735 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4736 semantics of the interface in each case
4738 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4739 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4741 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4743 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4744 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4745 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4746 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4750 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4753 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4755 * Portability improvements
4757 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4759 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4760 actually support it (like Hurd)
4762 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4764 * Other small API changes/additions
4766 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4767 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4768 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4770 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4772 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4773 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4775 * GMainContext/GSource
4777 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4779 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4780 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4781 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4782 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4783 broken and should probably be fixed.
4785 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4786 require use of a linked list
4790 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4791 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4792 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4794 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4798 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4799 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4800 gphoto, archive, at least).
4802 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4804 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4807 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4808 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4809 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4811 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4813 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4815 * Many documentation improvements
4818 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4819 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4820 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

4873 What's new in Glib 2.38
4874 ========================
4876 * Application support
4878 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4879 desktop entry specification
4881 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4882 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4883 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4885 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4886 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4887 to launch other applications
4889 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4890 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4894 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4895 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4896 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4897 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4898 any problems that this may have caused.
4900 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4901 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4902 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4903 (allowing memory savings)
4905 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4906 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4907 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4909 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4910 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4913 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4914 without destroying one of the objects involved
4918 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4919 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4920 with a finite number of cases
4922 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4923 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4925 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4926 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4927 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4928 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4931 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4935 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4936 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4937 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4939 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4941 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4942 and an API to check them
4944 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4945 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4947 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4948 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4952 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4953 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4954 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4957 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4958 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4959 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4961 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4966 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4967 allow for regexp matching on streams
4969 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4970 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4971 g_variant_new_printf()
4975 - we can now generate TAP output
4977 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4978 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4980 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4985 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5108 ==============================================
5110 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5111 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5112 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5113 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5115 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5116 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5119 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5121 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
5122 the key was locked down)
5124 * Miscellaneous new api:
5125 - g_variant_new_printf
5126 - g_action_print_detailed_name
5127 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind

5184 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
5185 build the unmodified source
5187 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
5189 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
5190 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
5191 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
5198 698375 - D-Bus async properties

5204 ==============================================
5206 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5207 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5209 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5210 and will trigger a warning.
5213 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5248 ==============================================
5250 * add support for installed tests:
5251 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
5253 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
5254 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5256 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5258 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5260 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
5261 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
5262 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
5264 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

5298 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5299 and a parser API for them is now provided
5301 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5302 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5303 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5366 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5368 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5369 the destination file
5371 - fix some 'available since' annotations
5373 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

5395 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5396 ==============================================
5398 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5399 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5400 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5401 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5455 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5456 ==============================================
5458 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5459 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5460 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5461 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5462 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5466 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5467 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5469 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
5470 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
5471 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
5472 * documentation fixes
5473 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
5476 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

5490 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
5491 ==============================================
5493 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5495 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5496 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5498 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5499 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5501 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5514 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5515 ==============================================
5517 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5520 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5521 ready at a specified monotonic time
5523 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5525 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
5528 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
5529 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

5627 * Translation updates:
5642 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5643 ==============================================
5645 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5646 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5647 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5648 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5649 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5651 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5652 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5653 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5654 particular, are incompatible.
5656 * Bugs fixed in this release:
5657 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants

5701 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5702 ==============================================
5704 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5705 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5706 causing regressions in applications.
5708 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5709 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5710 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5713 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5714 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5715 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5717 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5719 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5721 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5723 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5725 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5727 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5729 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5731 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5733 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files

5788 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5789 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5791 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5792 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5794 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5796 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
5798 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
5800 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
5802 * GLib version macros updated
5804 * Update to Unicode 6.2

6629 ==============================================
6632 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6633 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6634 to an overridden property
6635 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6636 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6638 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6639 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

6683 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6684 ==============================================
6686 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6687 moved to GtkApplication.
6689 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6690 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6691 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6692 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6694 * lots of documentation improvements
6696 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6698 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6699 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6701 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6703 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6705 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6707 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6708 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6711 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6712 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

6716 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6717 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
6718 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
6719 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6720 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6721 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6723 * Translations updated:
6727 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6728 ==============================================
6730 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6731 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6732 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6735 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6736 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6737 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6740 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6741 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6742 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6743 through an idle on the context.
6745 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6746 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6747 fixes here and there.
6749 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6750 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6751 API available outside GLib
6753 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6817 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6818 =================================================
6820 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6821 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6823 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6824 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6825 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6826 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6827 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6828 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6829 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6830 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6831 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6832 required (and has been deprecated)
6833 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6834 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6835 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6836 without explicit initialisation.
6837 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6838 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6839 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6841 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6842 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6843 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6844 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6845 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6846 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6847 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6849 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6850 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6851 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6852 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6853 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6854 - other implementation details changed
6856 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6857 deprecated/ directory.
6859 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6860 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6861 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6863 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6864 platform over a year ago).
6866 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6867 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6869 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6870 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6872 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6873 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6874 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6875 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6878 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6879 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves

7358 ==============================================
7360 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7361 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7362 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7363 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7364 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7365 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7367 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7368 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7370 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7372 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7374 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

7434 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7435 ==============================================
7438 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7439 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7440 an 'object manager' pattern:
7441 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7442 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7443 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7444 And server-side implementations:
7445 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7446 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7447 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7451 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7455 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7456 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7457 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7458 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7461 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7462 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7465 * Unix-specific APIs:
7466 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7467 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7468 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7469 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7470 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7471 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7495 * Updated translations
7502 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7503 ==============================================
7506 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7507 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7508 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7511 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7512 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7513 situations has been improved
7516 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7517 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7520 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7521 match strcmp() semantics
7522 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7523 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7524 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7526 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7527 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7530 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7532 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7534 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7535 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7536 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7816 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
7817 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
7822 g_get_monotonic_time
7824 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
7827 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
7829 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
7831 g_simple_async_result_take_error

7867 - Support environment passing
7870 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7871 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7873 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7874 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7875 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
7879 158725 free linked list with data

7892 * Translation updates:
7898 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7899 ==============================================
7901 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7902 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7904 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7905 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7907 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7909 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7911 g_settings_get_range
7912 g_settings_range_check
7913 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7915 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7916 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7918 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7919 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7921 g_main_context_invoke
7922 g_main_context_invoke_full
7924 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7925 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7926 looking for default applications.
7928 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7929 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7930 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7931 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7933 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7934 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7935 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8192 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8193 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8194 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8196 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8197 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8198 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8199 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8202 There have been many other improvements, however:
8205 - vastly improved test coverage
8206 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8207 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8208 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
8211 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

8256 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
8257 =====================================================
8259 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8260 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8261 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8262 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8263 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8264 | required (and will be along soon). |
8265 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8268 - cleanup automake setup
8269 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8270 - various docs fixups
8271 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8288 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8289 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8290 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8293 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8325 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
8326 =====================================================
8328 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8329 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8330 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8331 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8332 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8335 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8336 -Bsymbolic-functions
8337 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8338 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8339 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8340 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8341 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8344 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8345 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8346 nobody was doing that.
8347 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8349 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8350 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8352 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8353 have a serial number
8354 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8356 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8358 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8359 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8360 has finished running on GDBus services.
8361 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8362 this due to the obvious race)
8363 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8364 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8367 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8368 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8369 arguments and different behaviour
8370 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8371 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8372 strings instead of utf8 strings
8373 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8374 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8375 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8376 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8377 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8378 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8379 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8380 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8381 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8384 - improved documentation
8385 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8386 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8387 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8388 overridden using <override>.
8389 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8391 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8392 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8393 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8394 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8395 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8396 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8397 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8398 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8399 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8400 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8401 being set due to a premature free
8402 - command line tool: bash completion support
8403 - chain up in _finalize
8404 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8406 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8407 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8408 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8410 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8411 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8412 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8413 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8414 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8418 - always intern GBinding prop names
8419 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8420 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8421 - GNode docs improvements
8422 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8423 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8424 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8428 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8429 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8430 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8431 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8432 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8433 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8434 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8435 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8437 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8438 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8439 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8440 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8441 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8442 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8443 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
8444 610784 array test failing

8446 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
8447 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
8448 622124 implement flags

9138 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9139 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9142 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9143 interfaces to dynamic types.

9870 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

11455 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
11456 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
11457 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
11460 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]

11466 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11467 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11468 variants [Martyn Russell]
11471 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
11472 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]

11500 =================================================
11502 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11503 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11504 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11506 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11507 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11510 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11511 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11512 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11513 "stutter stepping".
11514 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11516 * Memory management:
11517 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11518 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11519 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11520 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11521 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11522 never worked as intended.
11523 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11524 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11525 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11526 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11527 efficient and scalable implementation.
11528 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11530 * Pattern matching:
11531 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11532 unnecessary recursion.
11535 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11536 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11537 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11540 * g_thread_foreach:
11541 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11544 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11545 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11546 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11550 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11551 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11552 since they are in glib.h
