213 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
214 of packaged libraries (!951)

450 ==================================
452 * Changes to `iconv` configure options, including the default iconv
453 implementation on macOS — distributors may need to check their configure
456 * Build fixes when building GLib with `G_DISABLE_ASSERT` defined (#1708)
458 * Fix documentation for `gdbus-tool wait` to use correct units (#1737)
460 * Improvements to symlink handling on Windows (!269)
462 * Add exception handling for crashes on Windows (!582)
464 * Set `G_WITH_CYGWIN` again when GLib is built on Cygwin (this was a regression
465 from the autotools build) (!736)
467 * Use `GCocoaNotificationBackend` by default on macOS, rather than
468 `GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)
470 * Use Windows symbol visibility when GLib is built on Cygwin, as PE binaries
471 are subject to W32 visibility mechanics — this affects the definition of
472 `_GLIB_EXTERN` (!752)
474 * Add coloured output support to `gdbus introspect` (!761)

687 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
688 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
689 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
690 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

758 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
759 ==================================
761 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
762 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
763 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
764 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
766 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
767 directory for each unit test. (#538)
769 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
771 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
773 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
775 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
776 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
777 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
778 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
780 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
781 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
783 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
784 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
785 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
787 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
789 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
790 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
793 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
794 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
796 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
797 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
798 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
800 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
801 portal backends. (!317)
803 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
806 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
808 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
811 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
813 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
816 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
817 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
818 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
820 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
821 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
823 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
824 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
825 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
826 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
828 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
830 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1039 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1040 ==================================
1042 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1043 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1044 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1045 with Meson or autotools. See:
1046 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1048 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1050 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1051 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1053 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1055 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1057 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1058 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1059 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1060 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1063 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1064 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1065 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1066 !265 Network monitor again
1067 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1068 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1069 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1070 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1071 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1072 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1074 * Translation updates:
1084 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1085 ==================================
1087 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1088 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1089 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1090 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1092 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1094 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1096 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1098 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1100 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1101 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1103 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1105 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1106 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1107 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1110 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1112 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1115 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

2299 environment variable.

2459 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
2460 ==================================
2462 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
2463 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
2464 is unavailable or undesired.
2466 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
2467 glib-networking will also be required.
2469 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
2470 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag
2472 * several GApplication fixes, including fixes for commandline arguments
2473 in interpreted languages on Windows

2521 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2522 ==================================
2524 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2525 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2526 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2527 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2529 This release corrects only this problem.
2531 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2532 ==================================
2534 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2535 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2536 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2538 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2884 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2885 ==================================
2887 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2888 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2889 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2890 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2891 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2892 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2894 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2895 have seen major improvements.
2897 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2898 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2899 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2902 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2904 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2906 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2908 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2909 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2910 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2911 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2912 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2913 you use the --strict option.
2915 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2916 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2917 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2919 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2921 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2922 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2923 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2968 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
2969 ===================================
2971 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2972 before the release of 2.44.0.
2974 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2976 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2977 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2978 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2979 default in the next cycle.
2981 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
2983 * new GTask:completed property
2985 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
2986 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
2989 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
2990 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
2991 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

3025 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
3026 ===================================
3028 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3029 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3030 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3032 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3033 effective busy state.
3035 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

3058 GInputStream and GOutputStream
3060 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
3061 of a boolean property on another object
3063 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
3066 739724 Test functions should have async scope
3067 741024 glist: Mention that g_list_length() is bad for checking list emptiness

3082 ==================================
3084 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
3085 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
3086 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
3088 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
3089 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
3091 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

3540 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
3541 =====================================================
3543 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
3545 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
3549 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
3550 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

3568 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
3569 =====================================================
3571 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
3572 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
3573 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3574 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3575 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3576 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
3578 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
3581 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken

3824 * Translations updates:
3831 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3832 ====================================================
3834 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3836 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3838 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3839 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3842 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3843 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3846 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3848 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3850 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3853 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3854 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3856 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3858 * Applications/Actions
3860 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3861 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3864 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3865 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3867 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3868 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3869 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3870 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3874 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3875 accesses that are performed in common situations
3877 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3878 are installed/removed
3880 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3881 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3883 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3884 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3889 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3891 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3892 that test programs don't pick them up
3894 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3896 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3897 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3898 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3899 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3901 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3902 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3904 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3905 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3906 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3910 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3912 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3914 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3916 Translations updated:
3924 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3966 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3967 ====================================================
3969 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3973 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3975 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3976 them can restart the application with an action (via
3981 - new API for launching subprocesses
3983 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3985 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3987 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3988 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3990 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3992 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3994 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3995 actions and listing apps and actions
3997 - bash tab completion is supported
3999 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4001 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4002 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4004 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4005 DBusActivatable=true
4007 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4008 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4013 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4015 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4016 class and inotify backend
4018 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4019 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4021 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4026 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4027 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4028 when there are invalid schemas installed
4030 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4034 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4035 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4037 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4040 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4041 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4042 semantics of the interface in each case
4044 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4045 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4047 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4049 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4050 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4051 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4052 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4056 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4059 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4061 * Portability improvements
4063 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4065 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4066 actually support it (like Hurd)
4068 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4070 * Other small API changes/additions
4072 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4073 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4074 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4076 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4078 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4079 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4081 * GMainContext/GSource
4083 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4085 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4086 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4087 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4088 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4089 broken and should probably be fixed.
4091 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4092 require use of a linked list
4096 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4097 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4098 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4100 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4104 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4105 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4106 gphoto, archive, at least).
4108 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4110 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager

4179 What's new in Glib 2.38
4180 ========================
4182 * Application support
4184 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4185 desktop entry specification
4187 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4188 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4189 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4191 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4192 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4193 to launch other applications
4195 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4196 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4200 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4201 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4202 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4203 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4204 any problems that this may have caused.
4206 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4207 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4208 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4209 (allowing memory savings)
4211 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4212 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4213 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4215 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4216 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4219 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4220 without destroying one of the objects involved
4224 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4225 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4226 with a finite number of cases
4228 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4229 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4231 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4232 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4233 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4234 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4237 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4241 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4242 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4243 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4245 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4247 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4248 and an API to check them
4250 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4251 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4253 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4254 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4258 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4259 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4260 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4263 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4264 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4265 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4267 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4272 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4273 allow for regexp matching on streams
4275 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4276 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4277 g_variant_new_printf()
4281 - we can now generate TAP output
4283 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4284 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4286 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4291 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4417 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4418 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4419 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

4602 ==============================================
4604 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4605 and a parser API for them is now provided

4761 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4762 ==============================================
4764 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4765 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4766 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4767 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4768 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4772 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4773 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4775 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4776 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4777 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4778 * documentation fixes
4779 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4782 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

4796 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4797 ==============================================
4799 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4801 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4802 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4804 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4805 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4807 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4820 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4821 ==============================================
4823 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
4826 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
4827 ready at a specified monotonic time
4829 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4831 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
4834 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
4835 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

4948 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4949 ==============================================
4951 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4952 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4953 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4954 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4955 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4957 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4958 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4959 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4960 particular, are incompatible.
4962 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5007 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5008 ==============================================
5010 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5011 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5012 causing regressions in applications.
5014 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5015 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5016 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5019 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5020 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5021 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5023 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5025 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5027 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5029 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5031 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5033 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5035 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5037 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5039 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5041 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5094 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5095 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5097 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5098 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

5989 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5990 ==============================================
5992 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5993 moved to GtkApplication.
5995 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5996 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5997 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5998 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6000 * lots of documentation improvements
6002 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6004 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6005 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6007 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6009 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6011 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6013 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6014 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6017 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6018 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
6019 664699 glib: documentation fixes
6020 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
6021 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
6022 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6023 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
6024 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
6025 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6026 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6027 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6029 * Translations updated:
6033 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6034 ==============================================
6036 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6037 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6038 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6041 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6042 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6043 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6046 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6047 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6048 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6049 through an idle on the context.
6051 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6052 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6053 fixes here and there.
6055 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6056 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6057 API available outside GLib
6059 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6100 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6101 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6102 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6104 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6107 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6108 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6109 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6112 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

6123 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6124 =================================================
6126 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6127 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6129 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6130 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6131 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6132 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6133 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6134 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6135 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6136 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6137 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6138 required (and has been deprecated)
6139 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6140 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6141 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6142 without explicit initialisation.
6143 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6144 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6145 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6147 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6148 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6149 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6150 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6151 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6152 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6153 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6155 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6156 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6157 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6158 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6159 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6160 - other implementation details changed
6162 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6163 deprecated/ directory.
6165 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6166 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6167 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6169 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6170 platform over a year ago).
6172 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6173 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6175 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6176 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6178 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6179 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6180 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6181 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6184 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6185 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6188 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6190 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6191 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6193 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6194 in a multi-threaded program
6196 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6197 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6200 - drop -uninstalled variants
6201 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6203 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6204 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6205 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6207 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6209 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6210 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6213 - many code generation updates and improvements
6214 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6217 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6218 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6220 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6222 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6225 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6226 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6228 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6229 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6231 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6233 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
6237 * Partial list of bugs closed:
6238 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6663 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6664 ==============================================
6666 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6667 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6668 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6669 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6670 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6671 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6673 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6674 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6676 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6678 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6680 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

6731 * Updated translations:
6740 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6741 ==============================================
6744 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6745 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6746 an 'object manager' pattern:
6747 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6748 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6749 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6750 And server-side implementations:
6751 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6752 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6753 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6757 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6761 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6762 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6763 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6764 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6767 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6768 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6771 * Unix-specific APIs:
6772 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6773 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6774 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6775 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6776 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6777 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6795 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
6796 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

6801 * Updated translations
6808 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6809 ==============================================
6812 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6813 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6814 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6817 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6818 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6819 situations has been improved
6822 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6823 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6826 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6827 match strcmp() semantics
6828 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6829 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6830 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6832 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6833 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6836 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6838 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6840 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6841 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6842 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7119 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
7120 ==============================================
7122 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
7123 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
7128 g_get_monotonic_time
7130 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
7133 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
7135 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
7137 g_simple_async_result_take_error
7138 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
7139 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
7141 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
7144 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
7145 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
7146 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
7148 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
7149 g_get_user_runtime_dir
7151 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
7154 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed
7155 633075 update Project Files and sources for MSVC 2008/C89

7157 633685 Use g_simple_async_result_{new_,}take_error
7158 633686 Add g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
7160 * Translation updates:
7168 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
7169 ==============================================
7172 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
7173 - Support environment passing
7176 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7177 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7179 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7180 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7181 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
7185 158725 free linked list with data
7186 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
7187 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
7188 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record

7194 633206 Default g_application_local_command_line() doesn't set exit_status...
7195 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
7196 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
7198 * Translation updates:
7204 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7205 ==============================================
7207 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7208 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7210 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7211 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7213 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7215 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7217 g_settings_get_range
7218 g_settings_range_check
7219 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7221 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7222 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7224 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7225 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7227 g_main_context_invoke
7228 g_main_context_invoke_full
7230 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7231 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7232 looking for default applications.
7234 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7235 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7236 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7237 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7239 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7240 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7241 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
7244 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

7496 =====================================================
7498 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7499 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7500 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7502 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7503 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7504 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7505 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7508 There have been many other improvements, however:
7511 - vastly improved test coverage
7512 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7513 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7514 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

7563 =====================================================
7565 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7566 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7567 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7568 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7569 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7570 | required (and will be along soon). |
7571 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7574 - cleanup automake setup
7575 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7576 - various docs fixups

7632 =====================================================
7634 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7635 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7636 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7637 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7638 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7641 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7642 -Bsymbolic-functions
7643 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7644 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7645 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7646 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7647 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7650 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7651 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7652 nobody was doing that.
7653 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7655 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7656 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7658 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7659 have a serial number
7660 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7662 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7664 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7665 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7666 has finished running on GDBus services.
7667 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7668 this due to the obvious race)
7669 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7670 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7673 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7674 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7675 arguments and different behaviour
7676 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7677 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7678 strings instead of utf8 strings
7679 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7680 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7681 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7682 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7683 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7684 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7685 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7686 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7687 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7690 - improved documentation
7691 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7692 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7693 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7694 overridden using <override>.
7695 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7697 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7698 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7699 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7700 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7701 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7702 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7703 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7704 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7705 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7706 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7707 being set due to a premature free
7708 - command line tool: bash completion support
7709 - chain up in _finalize
7710 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7712 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7713 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7714 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7716 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7717 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7718 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7719 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7720 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7724 - always intern GBinding prop names
7725 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7726 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7727 - GNode docs improvements
7728 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7729 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7730 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7734 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7735 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7736 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7737 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7738 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7739 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7740 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7741 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test

8437 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8438 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8439 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8440 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8441 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
8442 while loading or saving it.

8444 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8445 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8448 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8449 interfaces to dynamic types.

9172 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
9173 ===================================================
9175 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
9176 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
9177 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
9178 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
9179 also uses less memory overall.
9181 * Make g_poll available as public api
9183 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
9184 that a GError is set or unset
9186 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
9188 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
9189 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
9191 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
9192 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10761 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
10762 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
10763 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
10766 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
10769 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
10770 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
10771 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
10772 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
10773 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10774 variants [Martyn Russell]
10777 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
10778 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
10781 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
10784 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
10785 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
10786 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
10787 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
10788 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
10789 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
10790 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
10791 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]

10803 - Other improvements [Morten Welinder]
10805 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
10806 =================================================
10808 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10809 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10810 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10812 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10813 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10816 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10817 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10818 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10819 "stutter stepping".
10820 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10822 * Memory management:
10823 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10824 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10825 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10826 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10827 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10828 never worked as intended.
10829 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10830 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10831 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10832 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10833 efficient and scalable implementation.
10834 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10836 * Pattern matching:
10837 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10838 unnecessary recursion.
10841 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10842 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10843 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10846 * g_thread_foreach:
10847 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10850 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10851 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10852 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10856 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10857 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10858 since they are in glib.h
