1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.5
2 ==================================
4 * Fix some issues with handling over-long (invalid) input when parsing for `GDate` (!1824)
6 * Don’t load GIO modules or parse other GIO environment variables when `AT_SECURE`
7 is set (i.e. in a setuid/setgid/setcap process). GIO has always been
8 documented as not being safe to use in privileged processes, but people persist
9 in using it unsafely, so these changes should harden things against potential
10 attacks at least a little. Unfortunately they break a couple of projects which
11 were relying on reading `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`, so GIO continues to read
12 that for setgid/setcap (but not setuid) processes. This loophole will be closed
13 in GLib 2.70 (see issue #2316), which should give modules 6 months to change
14 their behaviour. (Work by Simon McVittie and Philip Withnall) (#2168, #2305)
16 * Fix `g_spawn()` searching `PATH` when it wasn’t meant to (work by
17 Simon McVittie and Thomas Haller) (!1913)

49 Overview of changes in GLib 2.66.3
50 ==================================
52 * Fix awkward bug with `GPollFD` handling in some situations (work by Claudio
53 Saavedra and Eugene M) (#1592)
55 * Fix sending FDs attached to very large D-Bus messages (work by Simon McVittie
56 and Giovanni Campagna) (#2074)
59 - #1592 Main loop ignores GPollFD sources when there is at least one source ready with priority higher than default one

68 ==================================
70 * Important and time-critical fix to DST transitions which will happen in Europe
71 on 2020-10-25 on distributions which use the ‘slim’ tzdata format (which is
72 now the default in tzdata/tzcode 2020b) (work by Claudi M., LRN) (#2224)
74 * Further timezone handling changes to restore support for changing the timezone
75 when `/etc/localtime/` changes (work by António Fernandes, Sebastian Keller) (#2204)
77 * Fix deadlock on Windows when `G_SLICE` is set in the environment (diagnosis by
78 Christoph Reiter) (#2225)
80 * Fix UTF-8 validation when escaping URI components (thanks to Marc-André Lureau) (!1680)
83 - #2203 fstatat is available only on macOS 10.10+
84 - #2224 top bar time is incorrect, timezone map in control center is broken
85 - #2225 Setting G_SLICE makes Windows programs hang since 2.66

103 ==================================
105 * A performance problem where timezones were reloaded from disk every time a
106 `GTimeZone` was created has been fixed (#2204), but this means that changes to
107 `/etc/localtime` will not take effect until a process restarts; future changes
108 in a subsequent 2.66.x release will improve this
110 * Security fix for incorrect scope/zone ID parsing in URIs (!1669)
113 - #2077 Invalid Pointer Arithmetic in g_path_get_basename

926 `G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS` flag; the destination permissions would be
927 private rather than following the process’ umask (!1142)
929 * Several `GDateTime` parsing fixes (!1127)
931 * Always build the tests if installed-tests are enabled, so that the tests can
932 actually be installed (!1141)
934 * Rework atomic function implementations to use memory barrier in the correct
935 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
936 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
938 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
940 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)
942 * Bump Python requirement to ≥ 3.5, which we implicitly relied on anyway through
943 our Meson dependency (!1132)

1127 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)

1132 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1134 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1135 of packaged libraries (!951)
1137 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1296 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
1297 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

1370 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.0
1371 ==================================
1373 * Changes to `iconv` configure options, including the default iconv
1374 implementation on macOS — distributors may need to check their configure

1595 ==================================
1597 * Autotools support is gone. (!580)
1599 * g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;

1608 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
1609 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1610 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1611 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
1613 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
1615 * Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be

1679 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1680 ==================================
1682 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1683 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1684 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1685 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1687 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1688 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1690 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1692 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1694 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1696 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1697 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1698 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1699 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1701 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1702 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1704 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1705 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1706 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1708 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1710 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1711 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1714 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1715 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1717 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1718 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1719 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1721 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1722 portal backends. (!317)
1724 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1727 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1729 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1732 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1734 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1737 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1738 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1739 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1741 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1742 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1744 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1745 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1746 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1747 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1749 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1751 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1960 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1961 ==================================
1963 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1964 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1965 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1966 with Meson or autotools. See:
1967 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1969 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1971 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1972 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1974 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1976 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1978 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1979 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1980 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1981 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1984 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1985 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1986 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1987 !265 Network monitor again
1988 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1989 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1990 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1991 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1992 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1993 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1995 * Translation updates:
2005 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2006 ==================================
2008 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2009 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2010 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2011 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2013 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2015 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2017 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2019 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2021 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2022 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2024 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2026 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2027 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2028 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2031 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2033 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2036 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

3210 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3211 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3212 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3213 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

3216 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3217 uses prctl() but the pthread api.

3220 environment variable.
3222 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3223 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3385 is unavailable or undesired.
3387 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

3445 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3446 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3447 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3448 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3450 This release corrects only this problem.

3453 ==================================
3455 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3456 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3457 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.

3805 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3806 ==================================
3808 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3809 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3810 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3811 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3812 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3813 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3815 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3816 have seen major improvements.
3818 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3819 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3820 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3823 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3825 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3827 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3829 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3830 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3831 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3832 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3833 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3834 you use the --strict option.
3836 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3837 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3838 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3840 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3842 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3843 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3844 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3889 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3890 ===================================
3892 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3893 before the release of 2.44.0.
3895 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3897 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3898 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3899 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3900 default in the next cycle.
3902 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3904 * new GTask:completed property
3906 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3907 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

3946 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
3947 ===================================
3949 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3950 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3951 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3953 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3954 effective busy state.
3956 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4003 ==================================
4005 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4006 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
4007 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4009 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4010 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
4012 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

4490 =====================================================
4492 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4493 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4494 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4495 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4496 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4497 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4499 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

4752 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4753 ====================================================
4755 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4757 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4759 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4760 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4763 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4764 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4767 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4769 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4771 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4774 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4775 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4777 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4779 * Applications/Actions
4781 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4782 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4785 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4786 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4788 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4789 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4790 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4791 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4795 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4796 accesses that are performed in common situations
4798 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4799 are installed/removed
4801 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4802 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4804 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4805 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4810 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4812 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4813 that test programs don't pick them up
4815 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4817 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4818 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4819 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4820 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4822 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4823 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4825 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4826 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4827 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4831 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4833 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4835 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4837 Translations updated:
4845 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

4887 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4888 ====================================================
4890 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4894 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4896 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4897 them can restart the application with an action (via
4902 - new API for launching subprocesses
4904 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4906 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4908 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4909 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4911 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4913 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4915 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4916 actions and listing apps and actions
4918 - bash tab completion is supported
4920 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4922 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4923 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4925 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4926 DBusActivatable=true
4928 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4929 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4934 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4936 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4937 class and inotify backend
4939 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4940 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4942 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4947 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4948 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4949 when there are invalid schemas installed
4951 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4955 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4956 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4958 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4961 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4962 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4963 semantics of the interface in each case
4965 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4966 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4968 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4970 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4971 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4972 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4973 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4977 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4980 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4982 * Portability improvements
4984 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4986 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4987 actually support it (like Hurd)
4989 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4991 * Other small API changes/additions
4993 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4994 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4995 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4997 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4999 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5000 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5002 * GMainContext/GSource
5004 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5006 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5007 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5008 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5009 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5010 broken and should probably be fixed.
5012 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5013 require use of a linked list
5017 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5018 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5019 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5021 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5025 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5026 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5027 gphoto, archive, at least).
5029 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5031 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5034 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5035 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5036 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5038 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5040 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5042 * Many documentation improvements

5100 What's new in Glib 2.38
5101 ========================
5103 * Application support
5105 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5106 desktop entry specification
5108 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5109 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5110 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5112 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5113 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5114 to launch other applications
5116 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5117 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5121 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5122 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5123 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5124 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5125 any problems that this may have caused.
5127 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5128 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5129 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5130 (allowing memory savings)
5132 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5133 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5134 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5136 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5137 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5140 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5141 without destroying one of the objects involved
5145 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5146 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5147 with a finite number of cases
5149 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5150 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5152 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5153 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5154 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5155 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5158 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5162 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5163 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5164 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5166 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5168 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5169 and an API to check them
5171 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5172 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5174 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5175 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5179 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5180 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5181 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5184 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5185 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5186 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5188 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5193 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5194 allow for regexp matching on streams
5196 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5197 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5198 g_variant_new_printf()
5202 - we can now generate TAP output
5204 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5205 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5207 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5212 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5338 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5339 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5340 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5342 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5343 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

5428 700035 - new API for instance private data
5430 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
5431 ==============================================
5433 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5434 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5436 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5437 and will trigger a warning.

5523 ==============================================
5525 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5526 and a parser API for them is now provided
5528 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5529 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5530 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5595 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5596 the destination file
5598 - fix some 'available since' annotations
5600 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
5603 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code
5604 696014 g_file_copy(): Ensure G_FILE_COPY_OVERWRITE preserves permissions
5606 * Translations updated:
5622 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5623 ==============================================
5625 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5626 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5627 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5628 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5682 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5683 ==============================================
5685 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5686 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5687 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5688 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5689 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5693 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5694 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5696 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

5718 ==============================================
5720 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5722 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5723 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5725 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5726 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5728 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5741 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5742 ==============================================
5744 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5747 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5748 ready at a specified monotonic time
5750 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5752 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

5854 * Translation updates:
5869 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5870 ==============================================
5872 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5873 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5874 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5875 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5876 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5878 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5879 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5880 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5881 particular, are incompatible.
5883 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5928 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5929 ==============================================
5931 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5932 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5933 causing regressions in applications.
5935 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5936 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5937 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5940 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5941 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5942 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5944 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5946 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5948 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5950 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5952 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5954 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5956 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5958 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5960 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5962 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6012 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
6013 ==============================================
6015 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6016 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6018 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6019 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6021 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6023 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

6856 ==============================================
6859 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6860 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6861 to an overridden property
6862 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6863 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6865 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6866 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
6868 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
6870 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

6900 * Updated translations
6910 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6911 ==============================================
6913 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6914 moved to GtkApplication.
6916 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6917 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6918 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6919 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6921 * lots of documentation improvements
6923 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6925 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6926 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6928 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6930 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6932 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6934 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6935 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6938 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6939 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
6940 664699 glib: documentation fixes
6941 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
6942 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
6943 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6944 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
6945 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
6946 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
6947 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
6948 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6950 * Translations updated:
6954 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6955 ==============================================
6957 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6958 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6959 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6962 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6963 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6964 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6967 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6968 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6969 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6970 through an idle on the context.
6972 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6973 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6974 fixes here and there.
6976 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6977 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6978 API available outside GLib
6980 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7017 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
7019 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
7021 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7022 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7023 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7025 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7028 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7029 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
7030 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
7033 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
7034 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

7041 - various GIO file and stream fixes
7042 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
7044 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7045 =================================================
7047 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7048 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7050 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7051 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7052 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7053 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7054 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7055 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7056 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7057 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7058 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7059 required (and has been deprecated)
7060 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7061 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7062 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7063 without explicit initialisation.
7064 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7065 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7066 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7068 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7069 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7070 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7071 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7072 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7073 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7074 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7076 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7077 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7078 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7079 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7080 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7081 - other implementation details changed
7083 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7084 deprecated/ directory.
7086 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7087 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7088 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7090 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7091 platform over a year ago).
7093 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7094 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7096 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7097 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7099 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7100 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7101 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7102 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7105 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7106 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7109 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7111 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7112 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7114 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7115 in a multi-threaded program
7117 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7118 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7121 - drop -uninstalled variants
7122 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7124 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7125 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7126 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7128 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7130 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7131 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7134 - many code generation updates and improvements
7135 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7138 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7139 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7141 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7143 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7146 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7147 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7149 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7150 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7152 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7154 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7158 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7159 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7585 ==============================================
7587 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7588 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7589 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7590 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7591 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7592 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7594 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7595 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7597 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7599 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7601 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

7652 * Updated translations:
7661 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7662 ==============================================
7665 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7666 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7667 an 'object manager' pattern:
7668 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7669 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7670 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7671 And server-side implementations:
7672 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7673 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7674 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7678 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7682 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7683 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7684 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7685 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7688 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7689 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7692 * Unix-specific APIs:
7693 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7694 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7695 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7696 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7697 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7698 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7722 * Updated translations
7729 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7730 ==============================================
7733 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7734 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7735 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7738 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7739 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7740 situations has been improved
7743 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7744 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7747 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7748 match strcmp() semantics
7749 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7750 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7751 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7753 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7754 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7757 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7759 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7761 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7762 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7763 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8033 * Updated translations:
8040 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8041 ==============================================
8043 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8044 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8049 g_get_monotonic_time
8051 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8054 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8056 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8058 g_simple_async_result_take_error
8059 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
8060 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8062 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
8065 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
8066 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
8067 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
8069 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
8070 g_get_user_runtime_dir
8072 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed

8081 * Translation updates:
8089 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8090 ==============================================
8093 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8094 - Support environment passing
8097 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8098 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8100 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8101 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8102 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8106 158725 free linked list with data
8107 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8108 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
8109 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record

8116 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
8117 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
8119 * Translation updates:
8125 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8126 ==============================================
8128 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8129 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8131 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8132 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8134 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8136 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8138 g_settings_get_range
8139 g_settings_range_check
8140 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8142 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8143 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8145 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8146 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8148 g_main_context_invoke
8149 g_main_context_invoke_full
8151 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8152 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8153 looking for default applications.
8155 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8156 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8157 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8158 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8160 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8161 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8162 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
8165 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe
8166 618737 "dispatch to context" functionality

8420 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8421 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8423 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8424 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8425 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8426 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8429 There have been many other improvements, however:
8432 - vastly improved test coverage
8433 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8434 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8435 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8453 without mapping functions
8454 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
8457 - improve closure support for bindings
8458 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

8484 =====================================================
8486 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8487 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8488 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8489 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8490 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8491 | required (and will be along soon). |
8492 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8495 - cleanup automake setup
8496 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8497 - various docs fixups

8515 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8516 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8517 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8520 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8553 =====================================================
8555 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8556 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8557 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8558 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8559 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8562 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8563 -Bsymbolic-functions
8564 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8565 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8566 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8567 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8568 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8571 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8572 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8573 nobody was doing that.
8574 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8576 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8577 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8579 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8580 have a serial number
8581 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8583 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8585 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8586 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8587 has finished running on GDBus services.
8588 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8589 this due to the obvious race)
8590 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8591 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8594 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8595 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8596 arguments and different behaviour
8597 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8598 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8599 strings instead of utf8 strings
8600 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8601 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8602 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8603 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8604 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8605 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8606 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8607 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8608 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8611 - improved documentation
8612 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8613 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8614 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8615 overridden using <override>.
8616 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8618 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)

9263 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
9265 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
9267 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
9268 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
9269 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
9271 * Threading changes:
9272 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
9273 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
9275 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9276 when g_type_init() is called.
9277 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
9280 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
9283 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

9355 ===================================================
9358 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9359 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9360 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9361 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9362 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9363 while loading or saving it.
9364 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9365 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9366 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9369 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9370 interfaces to dynamic types.
9373 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9374 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

10094 ===================================================
10096 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10097 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10098 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10099 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10100 also uses less memory overall.
10102 * Make g_poll available as public api
10104 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10105 that a GError is set or unset

10109 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10110 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10112 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

11727 =================================================
11729 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11730 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11731 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11733 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11734 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11737 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11738 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11739 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11740 "stutter stepping".
11741 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11743 * Memory management:
11744 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11745 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11746 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11747 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11748 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11749 never worked as intended.
11750 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11751 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11752 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11753 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11754 efficient and scalable implementation.
11755 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11757 * Pattern matching:
11758 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11759 unnecessary recursion.
11762 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11763 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11764 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11767 * g_thread_foreach:
11768 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11771 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11772 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11773 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11777 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11778 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11779 since they are in glib.h
