116 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
117 ==================================
119 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
120 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
121 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
122 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
123 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
124 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
126 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
127 have seen major improvements.
129 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
130 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
131 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
134 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
136 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
138 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
140 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
141 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
142 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
143 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
144 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
145 you use the --strict option.
147 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
148 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
149 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
151 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
153 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
154 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
155 default handlers for a generic supertype.

200 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
201 ===================================
203 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
204 before the release of 2.44.0.
206 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
208 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
209 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
210 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
211 default in the next cycle.
213 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
215 * new GTask:completed property
217 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
218 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

232 Translations updated:
257 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
258 ===================================
260 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
261 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
262 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
264 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
265 effective busy state.
267 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

314 ==================================
316 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
317 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
318 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
320 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
321 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

690 ===================================
692 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
693 and NULL pointer dereferences.
695 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
696 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
698 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
699 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
701 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
702 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
704 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
706 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
707 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
709 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
710 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
711 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
713 * ... and many other bug fixes.

801 =====================================================
803 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
804 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
805 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
806 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
807 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
808 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

1063 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
1064 ====================================================
1066 * GSettings fixes/improvements
1068 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
1070 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
1071 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
1074 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
1075 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
1078 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
1080 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
1082 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
1085 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
1086 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
1088 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
1090 * Applications/Actions
1092 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
1093 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
1096 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
1097 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
1099 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
1100 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
1101 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
1102 not itself at fault for the errant call)
1106 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
1107 accesses that are performed in common situations
1109 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
1110 are installed/removed
1112 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
1113 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
1115 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
1116 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
1121 - ignore qualified tags, as above
1123 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
1124 that test programs don't pick them up
1126 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
1128 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
1129 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
1130 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
1131 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
1133 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
1134 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
1136 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
1137 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
1138 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
1142 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
1144 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
1146 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

1198 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
1199 ====================================================
1201 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
1205 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
1207 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
1208 them can restart the application with an action (via
1213 - new API for launching subprocesses
1215 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
1217 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
1219 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
1220 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
1222 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
1224 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
1226 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
1227 actions and listing apps and actions
1229 - bash tab completion is supported
1231 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
1233 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
1234 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
1236 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
1237 DBusActivatable=true
1239 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
1240 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
1245 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
1247 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
1248 class and inotify backend
1250 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
1251 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
1253 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
1258 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
1259 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
1260 when there are invalid schemas installed
1262 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
1266 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
1267 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
1269 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
1272 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
1273 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
1274 semantics of the interface in each case
1276 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
1277 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
1279 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
1281 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
1282 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
1283 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
1284 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
1288 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
1291 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
1293 * Portability improvements
1295 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
1297 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
1298 actually support it (like Hurd)
1300 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
1302 * Other small API changes/additions
1304 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
1305 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
1306 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
1308 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
1310 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
1311 G_LOG_ERROR messages
1313 * GMainContext/GSource
1315 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
1317 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
1318 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
1319 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
1320 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
1321 broken and should probably be fixed.
1323 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
1324 require use of a linked list
1328 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
1329 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
1330 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
1332 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
1336 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
1337 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
1338 gphoto, archive, at least).
1340 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
1342 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
1345 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
1346 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
1347 (which shared exactly the same bug)
1349 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
1351 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
1353 * Many documentation improvements
1356 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
1357 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
1358 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

1405 Brazilian Portuguese
1411 What's new in Glib 2.38
1412 ========================
1414 * Application support
1416 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1417 desktop entry specification
1419 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1420 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1421 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1423 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1424 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1425 to launch other applications
1427 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1428 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1432 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1433 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1434 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1435 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1436 any problems that this may have caused.
1438 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1439 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1440 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1441 (allowing memory savings)
1443 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1444 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1445 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1447 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1448 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1451 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1452 without destroying one of the objects involved
1456 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1457 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1458 with a finite number of cases
1460 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1461 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1463 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1464 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1465 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1466 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1469 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1473 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1474 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1475 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1477 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1479 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1480 and an API to check them
1482 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1483 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1485 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1486 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1490 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1491 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1492 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1495 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1496 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1497 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1499 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1504 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1505 allow for regexp matching on streams
1507 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1508 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1509 g_variant_new_printf()
1513 - we can now generate TAP output
1515 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1516 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1518 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1523 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1645 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
1646 ==============================================
1648 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1649 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1650 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1651 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
1653 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
1654 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
1657 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
1659 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
1660 the key was locked down)

1833 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
1834 ==============================================
1836 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1837 and a parser API for them is now provided
1839 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1840 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1841 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1901 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1902 ==============================================
1904 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1906 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1907 the destination file
1909 - fix some 'available since' annotations

1933 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1934 ==============================================
1936 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1937 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1938 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1939 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1993 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1994 ==============================================
1996 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1997 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1998 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1999 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
2000 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

2029 ==============================================
2031 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
2033 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
2034 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
2036 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
2037 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
2039 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
2052 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
2053 ==============================================
2055 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
2058 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
2059 ready at a specified monotonic time
2061 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
2063 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

2180 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
2181 ==============================================
2183 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
2184 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
2185 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
2186 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
2187 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
2189 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
2190 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
2191 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
2192 particular, are incompatible.
2194 * Bugs fixed in this release:

2239 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
2240 ==============================================
2242 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
2243 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
2244 causing regressions in applications.
2246 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
2247 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
2248 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
2251 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
2252 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
2253 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
2255 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
2257 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
2259 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
2261 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
2263 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
2265 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
2267 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
2269 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
2271 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
2273 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

2323 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
2324 ==============================================
2326 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
2327 give feedback if they cause trouble:
2329 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
2330 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
2332 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
2334 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
2336 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
2338 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
2340 * GLib version macros updated
2342 * Update to Unicode 6.2
2344 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
2346 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
2348 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
2350 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
2351 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

3170 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
3171 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
3172 to an overridden property
3173 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
3174 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
3176 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
3177 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
3179 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

3221 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
3222 ==============================================
3224 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
3225 moved to GtkApplication.
3227 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
3228 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
3229 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
3230 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
3232 * lots of documentation improvements
3234 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
3236 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
3237 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
3239 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
3241 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
3243 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
3245 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
3246 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
3249 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
3250 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

3254 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
3255 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

3261 * Translations updated:
3265 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
3266 ==============================================
3268 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
3269 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
3270 There have also been many related improvements to action group
3273 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
3274 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
3275 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
3278 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
3279 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
3280 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
3281 through an idle on the context.
3283 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
3284 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
3285 fixes here and there.
3287 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
3288 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
3289 API available outside GLib
3291 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

3332 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
3333 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
3334 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
3336 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
3339 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
3340 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
3341 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality

3352 - various GIO file and stream fixes
3353 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
3355 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
3356 =================================================
3358 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
3359 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
3361 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
3362 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
3363 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
3364 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
3365 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
3366 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
3367 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
3368 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
3369 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
3370 required (and has been deprecated)
3371 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
3372 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
3373 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
3374 without explicit initialisation.
3375 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
3376 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
3377 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
3379 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
3380 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
3381 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
3382 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
3383 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
3384 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
3385 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
3387 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
3388 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
3389 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
3390 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
3391 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3392 - other implementation details changed
3394 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3395 deprecated/ directory.
3397 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3398 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3399 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3401 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3402 platform over a year ago).
3404 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3405 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3407 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3408 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3410 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3411 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3412 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3413 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3416 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3417 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3420 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3422 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3423 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3425 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3426 in a multi-threaded program
3428 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3429 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3432 - drop -uninstalled variants
3433 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3435 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3436 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3437 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
3439 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
3441 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
3442 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
3445 - many code generation updates and improvements
3446 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
3449 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
3450 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
3452 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
3454 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
3457 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
3458 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
3460 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
3461 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
3463 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
3465 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
3469 * Partial list of bugs closed:
3470 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

3581 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
3582 ================================================
3585 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
3586 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
3588 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
3589 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)

3896 ==============================================
3898 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3899 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3900 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3901 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3902 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3903 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3905 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3906 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3908 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3910 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

3963 * Updated translations:
3972 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
3973 ==============================================
3976 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3977 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3978 an 'object manager' pattern:
3979 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3980 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3981 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3982 And server-side implementations:
3983 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3984 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3985 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3989 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3993 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3994 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3995 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3996 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3999 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
4000 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
4003 * Unix-specific APIs:
4004 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
4005 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
4006 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
4007 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
4008 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
4009 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

4033 * Updated translations
4040 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
4041 ==============================================
4044 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
4045 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
4046 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
4049 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
4050 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
4051 situations has been improved
4054 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
4055 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
4058 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
4059 match strcmp() semantics
4060 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
4061 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
4062 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
4064 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
4065 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
4068 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
4070 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
4072 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
4073 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
4074 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

4405 - Support environment passing
4408 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4409 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4411 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4412 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4413 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

4430 * Translation updates:
4436 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4437 ==============================================
4439 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4440 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4442 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4443 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4445 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4447 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4449 g_settings_get_range
4450 g_settings_range_check
4451 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4453 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4454 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4456 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4457 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4459 g_main_context_invoke
4460 g_main_context_invoke_full
4462 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4463 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4464 looking for default applications.
4466 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4467 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4468 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4469 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4471 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4472 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4473 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4731 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4732 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4734 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4735 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4736 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4737 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4740 There have been many other improvements, however:
4743 - vastly improved test coverage
4744 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4745 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4746 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
4749 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
4752 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
4753 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
4754 - improve debug output, add some extra options
4755 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
4757 - sort property names correctly
4758 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
4760 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
4763 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
4764 without mapping functions
4765 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
4768 - improve closure support for bindings
4769 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
4772 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

4795 =====================================================
4797 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4798 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4799 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4800 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4801 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4802 | required (and will be along soon). |

4806 - cleanup automake setup
4807 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4808 - various docs fixups
4809 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

4863 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4864 =====================================================
4866 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4867 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4868 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4869 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4870 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4873 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4874 -Bsymbolic-functions
4875 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4876 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4877 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4878 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4879 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4882 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4883 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4884 nobody was doing that.
4885 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4887 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4888 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4890 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4891 have a serial number
4892 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4894 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4896 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4897 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4898 has finished running on GDBus services.
4899 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4900 this due to the obvious race)
4901 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4902 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4905 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4906 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4907 arguments and different behaviour
4908 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4909 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4910 strings instead of utf8 strings
4911 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4912 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4913 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4914 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4915 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4916 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4917 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4918 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4919 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4922 - improved documentation
4923 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4924 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4925 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4926 overridden using <override>.
4927 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4929 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4930 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4931 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4932 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4933 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4934 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4935 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4936 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4937 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4938 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4939 being set due to a premature free
4940 - command line tool: bash completion support
4941 - chain up in _finalize
4942 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4944 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4945 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4946 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4948 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4949 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4950 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4951 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4952 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4956 - always intern GBinding prop names
4957 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4958 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4959 - GNode docs improvements
4960 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4961 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4962 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4966 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4967 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4968 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4969 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4970 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4971 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4972 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4973 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4975 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4976 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4977 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4978 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4979 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4980 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4981 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4982 610784 array test failing
4983 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4984 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

5676 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5677 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5680 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5681 interfaces to dynamic types.

6408 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

6411 also uses less memory overall.

6416 that a GError is set or unset
6418 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6420 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6421 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6423 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
6424 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9048 * Added convenient functions for launching new processes (g_spawn_*),
9049 and shell quoting/unquoting functions. [Havoc]
9050 * Split glib.h into many headers. [Sebastian]
9051 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
9052 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
9053 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
9054 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
9055 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
9056 * Many documentation improvements.
9061 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
