106 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
107 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
108 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
110 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
111 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
113 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
114 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
116 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
117 third-party code should now be using
118 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
120 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)

130 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
132 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
134 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
136 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
137 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
139 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
141 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
142 of packaged libraries (!951)
144 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

616 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
617 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
618 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

686 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
687 ==================================
689 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
690 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
691 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
692 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
694 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
695 directory for each unit test. (#538)
697 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
699 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
701 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
703 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
704 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
705 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
706 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
708 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
709 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
711 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
712 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
713 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
715 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
717 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
718 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
721 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
722 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
724 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
725 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
726 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
728 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
729 portal backends. (!317)
731 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
734 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
736 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
739 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
741 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
744 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
745 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
746 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
748 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
749 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
751 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
752 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
753 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
754 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
756 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
758 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

967 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
968 ==================================
970 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
971 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
972 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
973 with Meson or autotools. See:
974 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
976 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
978 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
979 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
981 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
983 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
985 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
986 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
987 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
988 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
991 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
992 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
993 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
994 !265 Network monitor again
995 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
996 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
997 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
998 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
999 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1000 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1002 * Translation updates:
1012 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1013 ==================================
1015 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1016 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1017 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1018 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1020 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1022 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1024 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1026 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1028 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1029 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1031 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1033 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1034 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1035 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1038 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1040 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1043 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1044 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
1045 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

2449 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2450 ==================================
2452 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2453 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2454 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2455 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2457 This release corrects only this problem.
2459 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2460 ==================================
2462 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2463 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2464 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2466 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2812 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2813 ==================================
2815 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2816 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2817 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2818 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2819 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2820 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2822 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2823 have seen major improvements.
2825 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2826 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2827 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2830 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2832 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2834 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2836 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2837 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2838 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2839 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2840 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2841 you use the --strict option.
2843 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2844 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2845 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2847 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2849 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2850 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2851 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2897 ===================================
2899 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2900 before the release of 2.44.0.
2902 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2904 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2905 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2906 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2907 default in the next cycle.
2909 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
2911 * new GTask:completed property
2913 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
2914 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

2954 ===================================
2956 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
2957 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
2958 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
2960 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
2961 effective busy state.

3010 ==================================
3012 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
3013 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
3014 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.

3499 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
3500 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
3501 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3502 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3503 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3504 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

3752 * Translations updates:
3759 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3760 ====================================================
3762 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3764 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3766 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3767 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3770 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3771 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3774 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3776 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3778 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3781 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3782 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3784 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3786 * Applications/Actions
3788 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3789 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3792 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3793 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3795 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3796 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3797 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3798 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3802 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3803 accesses that are performed in common situations
3805 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3806 are installed/removed
3808 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3809 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3811 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3812 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3817 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3819 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3820 that test programs don't pick them up
3822 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3824 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3825 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3826 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3827 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3829 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3830 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3832 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3833 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3834 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3838 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3840 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3842 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3844 Translations updated:
3852 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3856 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
3857 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key

3860 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

3862 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3863 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3864 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3894 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3895 ====================================================
3897 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3901 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3903 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3904 them can restart the application with an action (via
3909 - new API for launching subprocesses
3911 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3913 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3915 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3916 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3918 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3920 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3922 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3923 actions and listing apps and actions
3925 - bash tab completion is supported
3927 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3929 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3930 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3932 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3933 DBusActivatable=true
3935 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3936 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3941 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3943 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3944 class and inotify backend
3946 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3947 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3949 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3954 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3955 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3956 when there are invalid schemas installed
3958 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3962 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3963 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3965 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3968 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3969 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3970 semantics of the interface in each case
3972 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3973 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3975 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3977 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3978 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3979 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3980 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3984 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3987 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3989 * Portability improvements
3991 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3993 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3994 actually support it (like Hurd)
3996 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3998 * Other small API changes/additions
4000 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4001 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4002 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4004 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4006 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4007 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4009 * GMainContext/GSource
4011 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4013 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4014 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4015 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4016 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4017 broken and should probably be fixed.
4019 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4020 require use of a linked list
4024 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4025 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4026 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4028 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4032 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4033 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4034 gphoto, archive, at least).
4036 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4038 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4041 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4042 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4043 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4045 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4047 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4049 * Many documentation improvements
4052 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

4107 What's new in Glib 2.38
4108 ========================
4110 * Application support
4112 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4113 desktop entry specification
4115 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4116 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4117 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4119 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4120 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4121 to launch other applications
4123 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4124 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4128 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4129 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4130 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4131 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4132 any problems that this may have caused.
4134 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4135 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4136 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4137 (allowing memory savings)
4139 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4140 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4141 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4143 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4144 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4147 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4148 without destroying one of the objects involved
4152 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4153 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4154 with a finite number of cases
4156 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4157 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4159 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4160 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4161 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4162 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4165 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4169 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4170 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4171 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4173 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4175 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4176 and an API to check them
4178 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4179 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4181 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4182 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4186 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4187 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4188 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4191 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4192 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4193 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4195 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4200 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4201 allow for regexp matching on streams
4203 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4204 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4205 g_variant_new_printf()
4209 - we can now generate TAP output
4211 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4212 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4214 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4219 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4345 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4346 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4347 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

4440 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
4441 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
4443 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
4444 and will trigger a warning.

4488 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
4490 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
4492 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
4494 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

4529 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
4530 ==============================================
4532 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4533 and a parser API for them is now provided
4535 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4536 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4537 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4602 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
4603 the destination file
4605 - fix some 'available since' annotations

4629 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
4630 ==============================================
4632 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4633 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4634 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4635 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4689 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4690 ==============================================
4692 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4693 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4694 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4695 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4696 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4700 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4701 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4703 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4704 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4705 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4706 * documentation fixes
4707 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4710 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

4724 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4725 ==============================================
4727 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4729 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
4730 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
4732 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
4733 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
4735 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
4748 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
4749 ==============================================
4751 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
4754 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
4755 ready at a specified monotonic time
4757 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
4759 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
4762 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
4763 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

4861 * Translation updates:
4876 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4877 ==============================================
4879 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4880 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4881 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4882 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4883 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4885 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4886 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4887 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4888 particular, are incompatible.
4890 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4935 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4936 ==============================================
4938 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4939 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4940 causing regressions in applications.
4942 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4943 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4944 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4947 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4948 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4949 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4951 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4953 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4955 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4957 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4959 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4961 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4963 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4965 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4967 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4969 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5019 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
5020 ==============================================
5022 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5023 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5025 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5026 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5028 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5030 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
5032 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
5034 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
5036 * GLib version macros updated
5038 * Update to Unicode 6.2

5389 ==============================================
5391 This release contains mostly bugfixes, cleanups and performance
5392 improvements (including many fixes contributed by Colin on the advice of
5393 Coverity). There are a few notable externally-visible changes:

5863 ==============================================
5866 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5867 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5868 to an overridden property
5869 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5870 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5872 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5873 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

5917 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5918 ==============================================
5920 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5921 moved to GtkApplication.
5923 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5924 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5925 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5926 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5928 * lots of documentation improvements
5930 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5932 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5933 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5935 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5937 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5939 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5941 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5942 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5945 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5946 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

5950 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5951 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
5952 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
5953 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
5954 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
5955 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
5957 * Translations updated:
5961 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5962 ==============================================
5964 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5965 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5966 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5969 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5970 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5971 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5974 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5975 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5976 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5977 through an idle on the context.
5979 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5980 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5981 fixes here and there.
5983 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5984 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5985 API available outside GLib
5987 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6021 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
6022 ==============================================
6024 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
6026 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
6028 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6029 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6030 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6032 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6035 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6036 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6037 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6040 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
6041 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
6044 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
6047 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
6048 - various GIO file and stream fixes
6049 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
6051 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6052 =================================================
6054 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6055 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6057 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6058 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6059 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6060 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6061 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6062 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6063 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6064 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6065 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6066 required (and has been deprecated)
6067 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6068 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6069 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6070 without explicit initialisation.
6071 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6072 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6073 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6075 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6076 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6077 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6078 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6079 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6080 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6081 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6083 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6084 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6085 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6086 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6087 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6088 - other implementation details changed
6090 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6091 deprecated/ directory.
6093 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6094 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6095 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6097 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6098 platform over a year ago).
6100 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6101 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6103 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6104 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6106 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6107 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6108 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6109 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6112 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6113 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6116 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6118 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6119 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6121 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6122 in a multi-threaded program
6124 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6125 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6128 - drop -uninstalled variants
6129 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6131 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6132 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6133 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6135 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6137 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6138 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6141 - many code generation updates and improvements
6142 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6145 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6146 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6148 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6150 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6153 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6154 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6156 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6157 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6159 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6161 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
6165 * Partial list of bugs closed:
6166 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6591 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6592 ==============================================
6594 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6595 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6596 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6597 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6598 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6599 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6601 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6602 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6604 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6606 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6608 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
6610 * Introspection improvements:

6659 * Updated translations:
6668 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6669 ==============================================
6672 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6673 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6674 an 'object manager' pattern:
6675 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6676 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6677 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6678 And server-side implementations:
6679 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6680 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6681 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6685 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6689 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6690 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6691 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6692 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6695 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6696 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6699 * Unix-specific APIs:
6700 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6701 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6702 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6703 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6704 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6705 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
6708 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
6709 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

6715 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
6716 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
6717 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe

6719 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
6720 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
6721 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
6722 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
6723 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
6724 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
6725 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
6726 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
6727 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6729 * Updated translations
6736 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6737 ==============================================
6740 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6741 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6742 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6745 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6746 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6747 situations has been improved
6750 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6751 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6754 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6755 match strcmp() semantics
6756 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6757 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6758 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6760 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6761 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6764 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6766 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6768 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6769 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6770 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7107 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7108 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7109 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

7145 g_settings_get_range
7146 g_settings_range_check
7147 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7149 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7150 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7152 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7153 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7155 g_main_context_invoke
7156 g_main_context_invoke_full
7158 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7159 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7160 looking for default applications.
7162 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7163 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7164 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7165 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7167 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7168 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7169 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

7424 =====================================================
7426 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7427 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7428 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7430 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7431 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7432 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7433 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7436 There have been many other improvements, however:
7439 - vastly improved test coverage
7440 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7441 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7442 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
7445 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

7491 =====================================================
7493 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7494 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7495 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7496 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7497 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7498 | required (and will be along soon). |
7499 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7502 - cleanup automake setup
7503 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7504 - various docs fixups
7505 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7511 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
7512 - add g_settings_reset()
7513 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
7516 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

7518 - proper support for file descriptor passing
7519 - new flags parameter for sending messages
7520 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals

7522 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7523 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7524 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7527 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7531 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
7532 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
7535 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
7536 617483 Credentials passing

7559 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7560 =====================================================
7562 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7563 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7564 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7565 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7566 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7569 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7570 -Bsymbolic-functions
7571 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7572 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7573 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7574 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7575 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7578 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7579 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7580 nobody was doing that.
7581 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7583 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7584 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7586 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7587 have a serial number
7588 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7590 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7592 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7593 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7594 has finished running on GDBus services.
7595 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7596 this due to the obvious race)
7597 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7598 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7601 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7602 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7603 arguments and different behaviour
7604 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7605 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7606 strings instead of utf8 strings
7607 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7608 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7609 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7610 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7611 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7612 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7613 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7614 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7615 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7618 - improved documentation
7619 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7620 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7621 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7622 overridden using <override>.
7623 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7625 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7626 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7627 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7628 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7629 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7630 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7631 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7632 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7633 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7634 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7635 being set due to a premature free
7636 - command line tool: bash completion support
7637 - chain up in _finalize
7638 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7640 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7641 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7642 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7644 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7645 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7646 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7647 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7648 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7652 - always intern GBinding prop names
7653 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7654 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7655 - GNode docs improvements
7656 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7657 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7658 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7662 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7663 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7664 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7665 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7666 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7667 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7668 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7669 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7671 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7672 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7673 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7674 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7675 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7676 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section

8362 ===================================================
8365 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8366 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8367 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8368 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8369 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
8370 while loading or saving it.
8371 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
8372 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8373 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8376 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8377 interfaces to dynamic types.
8380 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
8381 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
8382 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10701 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10702 variants [Martyn Russell]

10734 =================================================
10736 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10737 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10738 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10740 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10741 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10744 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10745 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10746 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10747 "stutter stepping".
10748 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10750 * Memory management:
10751 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10752 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10753 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10754 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10755 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10756 never worked as intended.
10757 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10758 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10759 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10760 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10761 efficient and scalable implementation.
10762 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10764 * Pattern matching:
10765 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10766 unnecessary recursion.
10769 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10770 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10771 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10774 * g_thread_foreach:
10775 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10778 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10779 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10780 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10784 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10785 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10786 since they are in glib.h
