366 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
367 which makes error checking easier (#553)
369 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
370 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
371 variables, or mostly anything else (see

386 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
387 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
388 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
389 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
390 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1526 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
1527 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1528 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1530 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1531 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1533 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1534 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1536 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1537 third-party code should now be using
1538 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)

1554 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1556 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1557 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1559 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1561 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1562 of packaged libraries (!951)
1564 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

2101 * Translation updates:
2106 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2107 ==================================
2109 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2110 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2111 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2112 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2114 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2115 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2117 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2119 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2121 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2123 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2124 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2125 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2126 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2128 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2129 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2131 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2132 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2133 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2135 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2137 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2138 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2141 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2142 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2144 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2145 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2146 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2148 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2149 portal backends. (!317)
2151 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2154 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2156 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2159 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2161 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2164 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2165 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2166 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2168 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2169 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2171 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2172 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2173 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2174 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2176 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2178 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2387 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2388 ==================================
2390 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2391 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2392 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2393 with Meson or autotools. See:
2394 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2396 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2398 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2399 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2401 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2403 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2405 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2406 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2407 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2408 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2411 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2412 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2413 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2414 !265 Network monitor again
2415 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2416 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2417 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2418 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2419 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2420 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2422 * Translation updates:
2432 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2433 ==================================
2435 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2436 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2437 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2438 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2440 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2442 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2444 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2446 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2448 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2449 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2451 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2453 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2454 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2455 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2458 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2460 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2463 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2464 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2465 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

3811 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
3812 ==================================
3814 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
3815 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3816 is unavailable or undesired.
3818 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3819 glib-networking will also be required.
3821 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
3822 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag

3873 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3874 ==================================
3876 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3877 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3878 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3879 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3881 This release corrects only this problem.
3883 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3884 ==================================
3886 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3887 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3888 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3890 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3979 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
3980 ==================================
3982 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
3983 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
3984 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
3985 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
3986 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
3989 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
3990 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
3991 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
3992 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
3993 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
3994 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
3995 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4251 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4252 ==================================
4254 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4255 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4256 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4257 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4258 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4259 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4261 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4262 have seen major improvements.
4264 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4265 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4266 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4269 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4271 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4273 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4275 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4276 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4277 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4278 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4279 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4280 you use the --strict option.
4282 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4283 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4284 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4286 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4288 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4289 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4290 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4335 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
4336 ===================================
4338 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4339 before the release of 2.44.0.
4341 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4343 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4344 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4345 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4346 default in the next cycle.
4348 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4350 * new GTask:completed property
4352 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4353 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
4356 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
4357 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows
4358 733876 Proxy protocol 'http' is not supported.

4367 Translations updated:
4392 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
4393 ===================================
4395 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4396 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4397 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4399 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4400 effective busy state.
4402 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4425 GInputStream and GOutputStream
4427 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
4428 of a boolean property on another object
4430 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)
4433 739724 Test functions should have async scope
4434 741024 glist: Mention that g_list_length() is bad for checking list emptiness

4449 ==================================
4451 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4452 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
4453 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4455 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4456 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
4458 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
4460 * GListStore is a GSequence-based implementation of GListModel.

4907 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4908 =====================================================
4910 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4912 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
4913 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
4914 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
4915 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
4916 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
4917 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
4918 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
4919 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
4920 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
4921 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
4922 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
4924 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
4925 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
4927 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
4931 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

4950 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4951 =====================================================
4953 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4954 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4955 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4956 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4957 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4958 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

5213 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5214 ====================================================
5216 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5218 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5220 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5221 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5224 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5225 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5228 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5230 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5232 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5235 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5236 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5238 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5240 * Applications/Actions
5242 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5243 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5246 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5247 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5249 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5250 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5251 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5252 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5256 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5257 accesses that are performed in common situations
5259 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5260 are installed/removed
5262 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5263 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5265 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5266 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5271 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5273 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5274 that test programs don't pick them up
5276 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5278 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5279 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5280 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5281 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5283 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5284 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5286 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5287 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5288 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5292 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5294 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5296 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5298 Translations updated:

5348 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5349 ====================================================
5351 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5355 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5357 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5358 them can restart the application with an action (via
5363 - new API for launching subprocesses
5365 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5367 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5369 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5370 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5372 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5374 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5376 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5377 actions and listing apps and actions
5379 - bash tab completion is supported
5381 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5383 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5384 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5386 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5387 DBusActivatable=true
5389 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5390 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5395 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5397 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5398 class and inotify backend
5400 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5401 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5403 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5408 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5409 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5410 when there are invalid schemas installed
5412 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5416 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5417 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5419 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5422 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5423 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5424 semantics of the interface in each case
5426 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5427 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5429 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5431 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5432 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5433 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5434 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5438 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5441 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5443 * Portability improvements
5445 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5447 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5448 actually support it (like Hurd)
5450 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5452 * Other small API changes/additions
5454 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5455 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5456 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5458 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5460 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5461 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5463 * GMainContext/GSource
5465 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5467 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5468 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5469 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5470 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5471 broken and should probably be fixed.
5473 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5474 require use of a linked list
5478 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5479 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5480 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5482 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5486 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5487 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5488 gphoto, archive, at least).
5490 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5492 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5495 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5496 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5497 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5499 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5501 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5503 * Many documentation improvements

5561 What's new in Glib 2.38
5562 ========================
5564 * Application support
5566 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5567 desktop entry specification
5569 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5570 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5571 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5573 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5574 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5575 to launch other applications
5577 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5578 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5582 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5583 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5584 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5585 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5586 any problems that this may have caused.
5588 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5589 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5590 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5591 (allowing memory savings)
5593 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5594 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5595 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5597 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5598 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5601 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5602 without destroying one of the objects involved
5606 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5607 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5608 with a finite number of cases
5610 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5611 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5613 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5614 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5615 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5616 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5619 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5623 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5624 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5625 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5627 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5629 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5630 and an API to check them
5632 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5633 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5635 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5636 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5640 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5641 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5642 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5645 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5646 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5647 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5649 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5654 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5655 allow for regexp matching on streams
5657 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5658 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5659 g_variant_new_printf()
5663 - we can now generate TAP output
5665 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5666 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5668 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5673 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5798 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5799 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5800 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5801 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5803 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5804 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

5877 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
5878 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
5879 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
5886 698375 - D-Bus async properties
5887 700350 - timestamp issue
5888 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
5889 700035 - new API for instance private data
5891 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
5892 ==============================================
5894 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5895 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5897 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5898 and will trigger a warning.
5901 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5942 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5944 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5946 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5948 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

5983 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
5984 ==============================================
5986 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5987 and a parser API for them is now provided
5989 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5990 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5991 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

6039 * Translation updates:
6051 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6052 ==============================================
6054 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6055 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6056 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6057 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6058 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6059 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6060 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6061 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6062 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6064 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6065 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6066 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6067 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6068 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6070 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6071 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6072 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6073 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6074 anyone was using it.
6076 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6078 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6079 the destination file
6081 - fix some 'available since' annotations
6083 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
6086 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
6087 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions

6105 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6106 ==============================================
6108 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6109 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6110 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6111 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

6165 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6166 ==============================================
6168 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6169 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6170 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6171 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6172 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

6201 ==============================================
6203 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
6205 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
6206 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
6208 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
6209 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
6211 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
6224 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
6225 ==============================================
6227 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

6231 ready at a specified monotonic time
6233 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked

6352 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6353 ==============================================
6355 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6356 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6357 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6358 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6359 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6361 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6362 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6363 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6364 particular, are incompatible.

6411 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6412 ==============================================
6414 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6415 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6416 causing regressions in applications.
6418 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6419 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6420 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6423 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6424 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6425 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6427 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6429 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6431 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6433 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6435 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6437 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6439 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6441 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6443 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6445 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6496 ==============================================
6498 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6499 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6501 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6502 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6504 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6506 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
6508 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
6510 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
6512 * GLib version macros updated
6514 * Update to Unicode 6.2

7056 * Updated translations:
7083 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7084 ===============================================
7086 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7087 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7088 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7091 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7092 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7093 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7094 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7095 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7096 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7097 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7099 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7100 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7101 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7102 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7103 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7105 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7107 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7109 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7110 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7111 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7112 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7115 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7116 such programs to break.
7118 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7119 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7120 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7122 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7123 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7125 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7127 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7389 ==============================================
7392 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7393 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7394 to an overridden property
7395 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7396 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7398 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7399 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

7443 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7444 ==============================================
7446 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7447 moved to GtkApplication.
7449 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7450 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7451 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7452 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7454 * lots of documentation improvements
7456 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7458 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7459 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7461 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7463 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7465 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7467 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7468 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7471 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7472 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

7476 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7477 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

7480 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
7481 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
7483 * Translations updated:
7487 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7488 ==============================================
7490 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7491 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7492 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7495 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7496 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7497 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7500 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7501 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7502 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7503 through an idle on the context.
7505 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7506 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7507 fixes here and there.
7509 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7510 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7511 API available outside GLib
7513 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7554 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7555 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7556 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7558 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7561 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7562 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

7577 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7578 =================================================
7580 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7581 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7583 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7584 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7585 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7586 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7587 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7588 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7589 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7590 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7591 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7592 required (and has been deprecated)
7593 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7594 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7595 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7596 without explicit initialisation.
7597 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7598 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7599 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7601 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7602 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7603 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7604 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7605 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7606 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7607 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7609 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7610 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7611 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7612 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7613 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7614 - other implementation details changed
7616 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7617 deprecated/ directory.
7619 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7620 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7621 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7623 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7624 platform over a year ago).
7626 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7627 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7629 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7630 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7632 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7633 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7634 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7635 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7638 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7639 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7642 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7644 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7645 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7647 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7648 in a multi-threaded program
7650 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7651 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7654 - drop -uninstalled variants
7655 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7657 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7658 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7659 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7661 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7663 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7664 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7667 - many code generation updates and improvements
7668 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7671 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7672 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7674 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7676 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7679 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7680 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7682 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7683 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7685 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7687 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7691 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7692 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7774 * Translations updates:
7776 Brazilian Portuguese
7803 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
7804 ================================================
7806 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
7807 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
7808 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
7809 GObject depends on libffi now.
7812 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
7813 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
7815 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
7816 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
7817 - check if -lsocket is needed
7818 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
7820 - fix some harmless warnings
7822 * GDateTime improvements:
7823 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
7824 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
7825 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
7826 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
7827 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
7828 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks
7830 * GTlsInteraction: add interaction method invocation guarantees
7832 * gdbus-codegen: post-process all interfaces when parsing >1 file
7834 * make GMainLoop, GMainContext and GSource boxed types
7836 * fix a race condition in the first use of g_get_monotonic_time()
7838 * lots gtk-doc cleanups
7840 * better intltool compatibility when generating pot file
7842 * avoid GCC-specific compiler options when not using GCC
7844 * Translation updates:
7846 Brazilian Portuguese
7857 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.16 to 2.29.18
7858 ================================================
7860 * GDateTime is now respecting LC_TIME when formatting
7862 * GTimeZoneMonitor has been removed again
7864 * A new API for wallclock functionality has been added:
7865 g_date_time_source_new(). This API is still experimental
7866 and may be changed or removed before 2.30.
7869 628904 Add credential support for FreeBSD and fix a socket issue
7870 650763 gdbus-codegen is broken with python 2.7
7871 655129 GDateTime could provide api for implementing wall clocks

8123 ==============================================
8125 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8126 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8127 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8128 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8129 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8130 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8132 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8133 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8135 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8137 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
8139 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

8190 * Updated translations:
8199 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8200 ==============================================
8203 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8204 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8205 an 'object manager' pattern:
8206 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8207 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8208 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8209 And server-side implementations:
8210 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8211 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8212 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8216 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8220 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8221 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8222 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8223 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8226 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8227 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8230 * Unix-specific APIs:
8231 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8232 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8233 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8234 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8235 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8236 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8260 * Updated translations
8267 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8268 ==============================================
8271 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8272 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8273 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8276 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8277 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8278 situations has been improved
8281 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8282 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8285 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8286 match strcmp() semantics
8287 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8288 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8289 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8291 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8292 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8295 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8297 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8299 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8300 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8301 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8636 - Support environment passing
8639 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8640 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8642 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8643 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8644 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

8661 * Translation updates:
8667 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8668 ==============================================
8670 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8671 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8673 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8674 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8676 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8678 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8680 g_settings_get_range
8681 g_settings_range_check
8682 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8684 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8685 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8687 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8688 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8690 g_main_context_invoke
8691 g_main_context_invoke_full
8693 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8694 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8695 looking for default applications.
8697 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8698 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8699 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8700 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8702 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8703 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8704 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8963 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8965 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8966 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8967 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8968 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8971 There have been many other improvements, however:
8974 - vastly improved test coverage

9095 =====================================================
9097 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9098 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9099 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9100 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9101 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9104 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9105 -Bsymbolic-functions
9106 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9107 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9108 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9109 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9110 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9113 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9114 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9115 nobody was doing that.
9116 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9118 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9119 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9121 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9122 have a serial number
9123 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9125 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9127 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9128 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9129 has finished running on GDBus services.
9130 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9131 this due to the obvious race)
9132 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9133 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9136 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9137 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9138 arguments and different behaviour
9139 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9140 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9141 strings instead of utf8 strings
9142 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9143 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9144 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9145 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9146 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9147 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9148 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9149 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9150 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9153 - improved documentation
9154 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9155 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9156 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9157 overridden using <override>.
9158 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9160 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9161 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9162 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9163 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9164 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9165 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9166 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9167 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9168 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9169 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9170 being set due to a premature free
9171 - command line tool: bash completion support
9172 - chain up in _finalize
9173 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9175 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9176 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9177 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9179 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9180 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9181 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9182 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9183 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9187 - always intern GBinding prop names
9188 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9189 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9190 - GNode docs improvements
9191 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9192 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

9197 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9198 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9199 - improved tests for GKeyfile
9200 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9201 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9202 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9203 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9204 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9206 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9207 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9208 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9209 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9210 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9211 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9212 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9213 610784 array test failing
9214 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

9604 614541 Add G_TYPE_ERROR boxed type for GError
9606 * Updated translations:
9613 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9614 ===================================================
9616 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9617 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9618 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9619 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9620 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
9622 * Translation updates:
9632 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9633 ===================================================
9635 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9636 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9637 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9638 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9640 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9641 when g_type_init() is called.
9643 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9644 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9645 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9647 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9648 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9649 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9650 is a bug in application code.
9653 613601 buglet in dup_close_on_exec_fd
9654 584284 g_data_input_stream_read_until_async behaves confusingly
9655 613748 Write errors in middle of copy cause hang

9660 * Translation updates:
9666 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.5 to GLib 2.23.6
9667 ===================================================
9669 * Class private data:
9670 - support for private data associated with a GTypeClass
9672 * GVariant merge is now complete:
9673 - loading functions and parser merged
9675 * Windows improvements:
9677 - various build improvements
9678 - removal of GCC/C99isms in favour of portable code
9679 - drop unmaintained Visual Studio 8 support
9681 * Minor API addition:
9682 - g_desktop_app_info_get_filename()

9708 ===================================================
9710 * New API addition: g_malloc_n() and friends used to implement an
9711 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
9714 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
9715 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
9716 - The parser will be in a future release.
9719 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
9720 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
9721 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

9820 ===================================================
9822 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
9824 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
9826 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
9827 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
9828 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
9830 * Threading changes:
9831 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
9832 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
9834 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9835 when g_type_init() is called.
9836 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
9839 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
9842 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

9914 ===================================================
9917 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9918 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9919 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9920 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9921 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9922 while loading or saving it.
9923 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9924 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9925 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9928 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9929 interfaces to dynamic types.
9932 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9933 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
9934 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10291 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
10292 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
10294 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
10295 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
10296 for actual socket I/O.
10297 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
10298 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.

10376 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10377 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10378 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10379 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10380 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10381 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10382 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10383 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10384 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10385 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile

10668 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10669 ===================================================
10671 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10672 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10673 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10674 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10675 also uses less memory overall.
10677 * Make g_poll available as public api
10679 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10680 that a GError is set or unset
10682 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10684 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10685 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10687 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10688 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10765 ===================================================
10767 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
10768 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
10769 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
10770 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
10771 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
10772 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12104 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12105 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12107 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12110 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12111 ==================================================
12113 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12114 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12115 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12116 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12118 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12119 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12121 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12122 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12125 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12126 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12127 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12128 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12129 support ELF visibility attributes.
12131 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12132 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12134 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12135 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12136 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12137 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12138 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12139 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12140 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12141 to help with the transition.

12309 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12310 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12311 variants [Martyn Russell]

12342 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12343 =================================================
12345 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12346 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12347 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12349 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12350 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12353 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12354 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12355 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12356 "stutter stepping".
12357 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12359 * Memory management:
12360 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12361 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12362 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12363 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12364 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12365 never worked as intended.
12366 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12367 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12368 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12369 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12370 efficient and scalable implementation.
12371 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12373 * Pattern matching:
12374 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12375 unnecessary recursion.
12378 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12379 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12380 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12383 * g_thread_foreach:
12384 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12387 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12388 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12389 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12393 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12394 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12395 since they are in glib.h

12574 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12575 =================================================
12577 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12578 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12579 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12580 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12581 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12582 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12583 included through <glib.h>.
12585 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12586 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12587 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12588 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12589 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12591 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12592 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12593 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12594 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12595 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12597 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12598 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12599 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12600 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12602 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12603 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12604 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12606 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12607 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12608 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12609 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12610 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12611 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12613 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12614 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12615 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12616 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12618 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12619 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12620 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12621 stderr if you need to see them.
12623 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12624 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12625 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12626 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12627 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12628 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12630 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12631 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12632 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12633 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12634 work with future versions of GLib.
