411 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
412 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
413 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
414 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
415 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
416 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

664 * Translations updates:
671 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
672 ====================================================
674 * GSettings fixes/improvements
676 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
678 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
679 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
682 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
683 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
686 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
688 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
690 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
693 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
694 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
696 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
698 * Applications/Actions
700 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
701 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
704 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
705 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
707 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
708 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
709 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
710 not itself at fault for the errant call)
714 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
715 accesses that are performed in common situations
717 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
718 are installed/removed
720 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
721 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
723 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
724 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
729 - ignore qualified tags, as above
731 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
732 that test programs don't pick them up
734 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
736 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
737 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
738 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
739 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
741 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
742 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
744 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
745 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
746 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
750 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
752 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
754 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
756 Translations updated:
764 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes
765 637257 g_tls_client_connection_gnutls_retrieve_function needs to be able to block
766 637956 GKeyfileSettingsBackend should ignore file deletions
767 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
768 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
769 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
770 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
771 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
772 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
773 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
774 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
775 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
776 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right
777 697348 GTestDBus should unset DBUS_STARTER_ADDRESS, DBUS_STARTER_BUS_TYPE

806 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
807 ====================================================
809 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
813 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
815 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
816 them can restart the application with an action (via
821 - new API for launching subprocesses
823 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
825 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
827 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
828 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
830 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
832 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
834 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
835 actions and listing apps and actions
837 - bash tab completion is supported
839 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
841 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
842 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
844 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
847 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
848 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
853 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
855 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
856 class and inotify backend
858 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
859 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
861 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
866 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
867 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
868 when there are invalid schemas installed
870 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
874 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
875 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
877 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
880 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
881 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
882 semantics of the interface in each case
884 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
885 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
887 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
889 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
890 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
891 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
892 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
896 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
899 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
901 * Portability improvements
903 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
905 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
906 actually support it (like Hurd)
908 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
910 * Other small API changes/additions
912 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
913 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
914 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
916 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
918 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
921 * GMainContext/GSource
923 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
925 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
926 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
927 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
928 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
929 broken and should probably be fixed.
931 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
932 require use of a linked list
936 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
937 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
938 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
940 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
944 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
945 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
946 gphoto, archive, at least).
948 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
950 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
953 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
954 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
955 (which shared exactly the same bug)
957 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
959 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
961 * Many documentation improvements
964 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
965 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
966 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

1019 What's new in Glib 2.38
1020 ========================
1022 * Application support
1024 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
1025 desktop entry specification
1027 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
1028 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
1029 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
1031 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
1032 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
1033 to launch other applications
1035 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
1036 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
1040 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
1041 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
1042 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
1043 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
1044 any problems that this may have caused.
1046 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
1047 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
1048 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
1049 (allowing memory savings)
1051 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
1052 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
1053 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
1055 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
1056 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
1059 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
1060 without destroying one of the objects involved
1064 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
1065 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
1066 with a finite number of cases
1068 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
1069 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
1071 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
1072 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
1073 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
1074 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
1077 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
1081 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
1082 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
1083 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
1085 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
1087 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
1088 and an API to check them
1090 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
1091 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
1093 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
1094 with most functions, but this is not recommended
1098 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
1099 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
1100 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
1103 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
1104 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
1105 particular directory (akin to 'du').
1107 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
1112 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
1113 allow for regexp matching on streams
1115 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
1116 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
1117 g_variant_new_printf()
1121 - we can now generate TAP output
1123 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
1124 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
1126 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
1131 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

1253 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
1254 ==============================================
1256 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
1257 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
1258 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
1259 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
1261 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
1262 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
1265 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
1267 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
1268 the key was locked down)
1270 * Miscellaneous new api:
1271 - g_variant_new_printf
1272 - g_action_print_detailed_name
1273 - g_regex_get_max_lookbehind

1326 ==============================================
1328 * add a new API for instance private data: G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE
1330 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
1331 build the unmodified source
1333 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
1335 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
1336 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
1337 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
1344 698375 - D-Bus async properties
1345 700350 - timestamp issue
1346 701560 - fsync issue (fixed again)
1347 700035 - new API for instance private data
1349 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
1350 ==============================================
1352 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
1353 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
1355 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
1356 and will trigger a warning.
1359 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation
1361 - Set prgname to appid for services

1393 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
1394 ==============================================
1396 * add support for installed tests:
1397 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
1399 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
1400 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
1402 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
1404 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
1406 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
1407 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
1408 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
1410 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags
1426 679683 replace g_test_trap_fork()

1441 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
1442 ==============================================
1444 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
1445 and a parser API for them is now provided
1447 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
1448 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
1449 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

1509 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
1510 ==============================================
1512 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
1514 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
1515 the destination file
1517 - fix some 'available since' annotations
1519 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

1525 * Translations updated:
1541 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
1542 ==============================================
1544 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
1545 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
1546 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
1547 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

1601 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
1602 ==============================================
1604 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
1605 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
1606 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
1607 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
1608 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
1612 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
1613 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
1615 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
1616 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
1617 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
1618 * documentation fixes
1619 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
1622 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

1636 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
1637 ==============================================
1639 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
1641 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
1642 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
1644 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
1645 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
1647 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
1660 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
1661 ==============================================
1663 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
1666 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
1667 ready at a specified monotonic time
1669 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
1671 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
1674 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
1675 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

1773 * Translation updates:
1788 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
1789 ==============================================
1791 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
1792 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
1793 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
1794 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
1795 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
1797 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
1798 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
1799 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
1800 particular, are incompatible.
1802 * Bugs fixed in this release:
1803 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
1804 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

1847 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
1848 ==============================================
1850 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
1851 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
1852 causing regressions in applications.
1854 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
1855 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
1856 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
1859 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
1860 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
1861 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
1863 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
1865 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
1867 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
1869 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
1871 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
1873 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
1875 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
1877 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray

1934 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
1935 give feedback if they cause trouble:
1937 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
1938 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
1940 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
1942 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

2775 ==============================================
2778 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
2779 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
2780 to an overridden property
2781 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
2782 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
2784 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
2785 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

2829 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
2830 ==============================================
2832 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
2833 moved to GtkApplication.
2835 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
2836 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
2837 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
2838 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
2840 * lots of documentation improvements
2842 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
2844 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
2845 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
2847 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
2849 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
2851 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
2853 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
2854 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
2857 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
2858 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

2862 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
2863 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
2864 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
2865 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
2866 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
2867 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
2869 * Translations updated:
2873 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
2874 ==============================================
2876 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
2877 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
2878 There have also been many related improvements to action group
2881 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
2882 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
2883 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
2886 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
2887 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
2888 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
2889 through an idle on the context.
2891 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
2892 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
2893 fixes here and there.
2895 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
2896 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
2897 API available outside GLib
2899 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

2963 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
2964 =================================================
2966 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
2967 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
2969 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
2970 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
2971 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
2972 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
2973 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
2974 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
2975 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
2976 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
2977 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
2978 required (and has been deprecated)
2979 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
2980 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
2981 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
2982 without explicit initialisation.
2983 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
2984 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
2985 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
2987 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
2988 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
2989 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
2990 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
2991 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
2992 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
2993 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
2995 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
2996 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
2997 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
2998 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
2999 - GThread is now a refcounted type
3000 - other implementation details changed
3002 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
3003 deprecated/ directory.
3005 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
3006 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
3007 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
3009 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
3010 platform over a year ago).
3012 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
3013 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
3015 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
3016 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
3018 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
3019 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
3020 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
3021 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
3024 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
3025 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
3028 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
3030 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
3031 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
3033 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
3034 in a multi-threaded program
3036 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
3037 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
3040 - drop -uninstalled variants
3041 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
3043 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
3044 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
3045 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.

3504 ==============================================
3506 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
3507 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
3508 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
3509 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
3510 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
3511 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
3513 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
3514 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
3516 * Access to quarks is now lockless
3518 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

3581 ==============================================
3584 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
3585 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
3586 an 'object manager' pattern:
3587 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
3588 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
3589 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
3590 And server-side implementations:
3591 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
3592 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
3593 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
3597 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
3601 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
3602 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
3603 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
3604 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
3607 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
3608 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
3611 * Unix-specific APIs:
3612 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
3613 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
3614 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
3615 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
3616 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
3617 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

3648 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
3649 ==============================================
3652 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
3653 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
3654 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
3657 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
3658 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
3659 situations has been improved
3662 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
3663 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
3666 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
3667 match strcmp() semantics
3668 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
3669 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
3670 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
3672 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
3673 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
3676 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
3678 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
3680 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
3681 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
3682 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

3924 that starts with a dot
3925 - GAppInfo gained API to differentiate between recommended
3926 and fallback mime handlers
3927 - g_cancellable_create_source: creates a GSource that triggers

3960 ==============================================
3962 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
3963 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
3968 g_get_monotonic_time
3970 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
3973 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
3975 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
3977 g_simple_async_result_take_error

4013 - Support environment passing
4016 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
4017 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
4019 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
4020 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
4021 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
4025 158725 free linked list with data
4026 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

4038 * Translation updates:
4044 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
4045 ==============================================
4047 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
4048 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
4050 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
4051 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
4053 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
4055 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
4057 g_settings_get_range
4058 g_settings_range_check
4059 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
4061 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
4062 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
4064 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
4065 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
4067 g_main_context_invoke
4068 g_main_context_invoke_full
4070 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
4071 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
4072 looking for default applications.
4074 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
4075 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
4076 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
4077 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
4079 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
4080 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
4081 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

4339 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
4340 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4342 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
4343 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
4344 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
4345 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
4348 There have been many other improvements, however:
4351 - vastly improved test coverage
4352 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
4353 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
4354 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

4403 =====================================================
4405 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4406 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
4407 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
4408 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
4409 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
4410 | required (and will be along soon). |
4411 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4414 - cleanup automake setup
4415 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
4416 - various docs fixups
4417 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

4434 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
4435 - constness fixes for introspection structures
4436 - clean ups to subtree registration API
4439 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

4471 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
4472 =====================================================
4474 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4475 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
4476 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
4477 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
4478 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
4481 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
4482 -Bsymbolic-functions
4483 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
4484 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
4485 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
4486 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
4487 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4490 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
4491 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
4492 nobody was doing that.
4493 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
4495 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
4496 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
4498 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
4499 have a serial number
4500 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
4502 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
4504 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
4505 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
4506 has finished running on GDBus services.
4507 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
4508 this due to the obvious race)
4509 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
4510 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
4513 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
4514 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
4515 arguments and different behaviour
4516 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
4517 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
4518 strings instead of utf8 strings
4519 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
4520 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
4521 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
4522 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
4523 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
4524 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
4525 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
4526 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
4527 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
4530 - improved documentation
4531 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
4532 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
4533 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
4534 overridden using <override>.
4535 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
4537 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
4538 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
4539 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
4540 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
4541 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
4542 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
4543 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
4544 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
4545 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
4546 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
4547 being set due to a premature free
4548 - command line tool: bash completion support
4549 - chain up in _finalize
4550 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
4552 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
4553 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
4554 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
4556 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
4557 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
4558 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
4559 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
4560 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
4564 - always intern GBinding prop names
4565 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
4566 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
4567 - GNode docs improvements
4568 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
4569 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
4570 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
4574 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
4575 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
4576 - improved tests for GKeyfile
4577 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
4578 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
4579 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
4580 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
4581 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
4583 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
4584 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
4585 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
4586 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
4587 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
4588 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
4589 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
4590 610784 array test failing
4591 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

5284 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
5285 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
5288 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
5289 interfaces to dynamic types.

6016 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

6019 also uses less memory overall.

6024 that a GError is set or unset
6026 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
6028 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
6029 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
6031 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
