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

816 ==================================
818 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
819 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
820 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
821 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
823 This release corrects only this problem.
825 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
826 ==================================
828 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
829 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
830 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
832 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1178 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1179 ==================================
1181 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1182 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1183 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1184 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1185 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1186 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1188 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1189 have seen major improvements.
1191 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1192 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1193 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1196 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1198 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1200 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1202 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1203 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1204 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1205 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1206 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1207 you use the --strict option.
1209 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1210 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1211 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1213 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1215 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types

1303 before the release of 2.44.0.
1305 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1307 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1308 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the

1357 ===================================
1359 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1360 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1361 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1363 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1364 effective busy state.

1900 =====================================================
1902 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1903 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1904 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1905 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1906 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1907 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
1909 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

2162 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2163 ====================================================
2165 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2167 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2169 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2170 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2173 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2174 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2177 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2179 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2181 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2184 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2185 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2187 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2189 * Applications/Actions
2191 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2192 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2195 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2196 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2198 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2199 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2200 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2201 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2205 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2206 accesses that are performed in common situations
2208 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2209 are installed/removed
2211 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2212 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2214 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2215 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2220 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2222 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2223 that test programs don't pick them up
2225 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2227 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2228 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2229 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2230 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2232 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2233 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2235 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2236 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2237 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2241 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2243 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2245 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2247 Translations updated:
2255 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

2297 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2298 ====================================================
2300 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2304 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2306 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2307 them can restart the application with an action (via
2312 - new API for launching subprocesses
2314 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2316 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2318 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2319 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2321 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2323 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2325 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2326 actions and listing apps and actions
2328 - bash tab completion is supported
2330 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2332 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2333 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2335 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2336 DBusActivatable=true
2338 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2339 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2344 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2346 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2347 class and inotify backend
2349 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2350 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2352 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2357 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2358 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2359 when there are invalid schemas installed
2361 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2365 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2366 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2368 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2371 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2372 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2373 semantics of the interface in each case
2375 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2376 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2378 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2380 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2381 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2382 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2383 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2387 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2390 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2392 * Portability improvements
2394 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2396 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2397 actually support it (like Hurd)
2399 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2401 * Other small API changes/additions
2403 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2404 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2405 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2407 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2409 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2410 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2412 * GMainContext/GSource
2414 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2416 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2417 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2418 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2419 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2420 broken and should probably be fixed.
2422 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2423 require use of a linked list
2427 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2428 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2429 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2431 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2435 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2436 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2437 gphoto, archive, at least).
2439 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2441 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2444 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2445 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2446 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2448 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2450 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2452 * Many documentation improvements

2510 What's new in Glib 2.38
2511 ========================
2513 * Application support
2515 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2516 desktop entry specification
2518 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2519 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2520 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2522 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2523 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2524 to launch other applications
2526 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2527 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2531 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2532 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2533 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2534 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2535 any problems that this may have caused.
2537 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2538 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2539 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2540 (allowing memory savings)
2542 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2543 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2544 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2546 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2547 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2550 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2551 without destroying one of the objects involved
2555 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2556 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2557 with a finite number of cases
2559 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2560 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2562 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2563 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2564 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2565 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2568 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2572 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2573 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2574 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2576 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2578 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2579 and an API to check them
2581 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2582 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2584 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2585 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2589 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2590 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2591 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2594 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2595 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2596 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2598 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2603 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2604 allow for regexp matching on streams
2606 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2607 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2608 g_variant_new_printf()
2612 - we can now generate TAP output
2614 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2615 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2617 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2622 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2748 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2749 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2750 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2752 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2753 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when

2841 ==============================================
2843 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2844 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2846 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2847 and will trigger a warning.
2850 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

2891 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
2893 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
2895 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
2897 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

2932 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
2933 ==============================================
2935 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2936 and a parser API for them is now provided
2938 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2939 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2940 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
2942 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

3000 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3001 ==============================================
3003 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3005 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3006 the destination file
3008 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3010 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3032 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3033 ==============================================
3035 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3036 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3037 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3038 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3092 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3093 ==============================================
3095 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3096 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3097 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3098 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3099 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3103 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3104 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

3128 ==============================================
3130 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3132 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3133 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3135 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3136 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3138 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3151 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3152 ==============================================
3154 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors

3158 ready at a specified monotonic time
3160 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked

3264 * Translation updates:
3279 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3280 ==============================================
3282 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3283 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3284 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3285 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3286 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3288 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3289 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3290 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3291 particular, are incompatible.

3338 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3339 ==============================================
3341 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3342 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3343 causing regressions in applications.
3345 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3346 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3347 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3350 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3351 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3352 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3354 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3356 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3358 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3360 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3362 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3364 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3366 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3368 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3370 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3372 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3422 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3423 ==============================================
3425 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3426 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3428 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3429 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3431 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3433 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3435 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3437 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3439 * GLib version macros updated
3441 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4265 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
4266 ==============================================
4269 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4270 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4271 to an overridden property
4272 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4273 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4275 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4276 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4278 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status
4280 * GSettings: a native OS X backend has been added, under the

4320 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4321 ==============================================
4323 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4324 moved to GtkApplication.
4326 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4327 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4328 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4329 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4331 * lots of documentation improvements
4333 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4335 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4336 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4338 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4340 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4342 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4344 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4345 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4348 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4349 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4350 664699 glib: documentation fixes
4351 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
4352 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
4353 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4354 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4355 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4356 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4357 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4358 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4360 * Translations updated:
4364 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4365 ==============================================
4367 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4368 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4369 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4372 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4373 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4374 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4377 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4378 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4379 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4380 through an idle on the context.
4382 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4383 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4384 fixes here and there.
4386 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4387 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4388 API available outside GLib
4390 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4429 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4431 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4432 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4433 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4435 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4438 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4439 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4440 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4443 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4444 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

4450 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4451 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4452 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4454 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4455 =================================================
4457 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4458 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4460 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4461 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4462 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4463 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4464 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4465 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4466 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4467 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4468 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4469 required (and has been deprecated)
4470 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4471 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4472 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4473 without explicit initialisation.
4474 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4475 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4476 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4478 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4479 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4480 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4481 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4482 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4483 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4484 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4486 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4487 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4488 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4489 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4490 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4491 - other implementation details changed
4493 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4494 deprecated/ directory.
4496 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4497 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4498 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4500 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4501 platform over a year ago).
4503 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4504 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4506 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4507 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4509 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4510 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4511 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4512 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4515 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4516 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4519 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4521 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4522 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4524 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4525 in a multi-threaded program
4527 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4528 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4531 - drop -uninstalled variants
4532 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4534 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4535 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4536 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4538 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4540 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4541 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4544 - many code generation updates and improvements
4545 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4548 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4549 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4551 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4553 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4556 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4557 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4559 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4560 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4562 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4564 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4568 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4569 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4995 ==============================================
4997 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4998 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4999 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5000 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5001 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5002 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5004 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5005 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5007 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5009 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5011 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5062 * Updated translations:
5071 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5072 ==============================================
5075 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5076 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5077 an 'object manager' pattern:
5078 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5079 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5080 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5081 And server-side implementations:
5082 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5083 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5084 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5088 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5092 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5093 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5094 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5095 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5098 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5099 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5102 * Unix-specific APIs:
5103 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5104 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5105 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5106 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5107 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5108 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5132 * Updated translations
5139 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5140 ==============================================
5143 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5144 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5145 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5148 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5149 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5150 situations has been improved
5153 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5154 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5157 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5158 match strcmp() semantics
5159 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5160 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5161 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5163 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5164 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5167 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5169 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5171 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5172 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5173 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5450 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
5451 ==============================================
5453 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5454 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5459 g_get_monotonic_time
5461 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5464 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5466 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5468 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5469 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5470 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5472 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

5476 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5477 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
5479 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
5480 g_get_user_runtime_dir

5491 * Translation updates:
5499 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5500 ==============================================
5503 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5504 - Support environment passing
5507 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5508 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5510 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5511 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5512 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5516 158725 free linked list with data
5517 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
5518 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

5526 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5527 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5529 * Translation updates:
5535 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5536 ==============================================
5538 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5539 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5541 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5542 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5544 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5546 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5548 g_settings_get_range
5549 g_settings_range_check
5550 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5552 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5553 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5555 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5556 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5558 g_main_context_invoke
5559 g_main_context_invoke_full
5561 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5562 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5563 looking for default applications.
5565 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5566 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5567 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5568 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5570 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5571 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5572 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
5575 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

5830 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5831 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5833 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5834 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5835 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5836 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5839 There have been many other improvements, however:
5842 - vastly improved test coverage
5843 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5844 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5845 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
5848 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

5863 without mapping functions
5864 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
5867 - improve closure support for bindings
5868 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag

5894 =====================================================
5896 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5897 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5898 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5899 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5900 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5901 | required (and will be along soon). |
5902 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5905 - cleanup automake setup
5906 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5907 - various docs fixups
5908 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5921 - proper support for file descriptor passing
5922 - new flags parameter for sending messages
5923 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
5924 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5925 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5926 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5927 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5930 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5933 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
5934 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
5935 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
5938 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting

5963 =====================================================
5965 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5966 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5967 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5968 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5969 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5972 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5973 -Bsymbolic-functions
5974 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5975 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5976 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5977 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5978 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5981 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5982 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5983 nobody was doing that.
5984 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5986 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5987 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5989 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5990 have a serial number
5991 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5993 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5995 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5996 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5997 has finished running on GDBus services.
5998 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5999 this due to the obvious race)
6000 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6001 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6004 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6005 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6006 arguments and different behaviour
6007 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6008 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6009 strings instead of utf8 strings
6010 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6011 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6012 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6013 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6014 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6015 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6016 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6017 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type

6671 ===================================================
6673 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
6675 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
6677 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
6678 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
6679 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
6681 * Threading changes:
6682 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
6683 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
6685 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
6686 when g_type_init() is called.
6687 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
6690 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
6693 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

6765 ===================================================
6768 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6769 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6770 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6771 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6772 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6773 while loading or saving it.
6774 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6775 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6776 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6779 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6780 interfaces to dynamic types.
6783 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6784 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7504 ===================================================
7506 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7507 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7508 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7509 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7510 also uses less memory overall.
7512 * Make g_poll available as public api
7514 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7515 that a GError is set or unset
7517 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7519 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7520 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7522 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7523 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9136 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
9137 =================================================
9139 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9140 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9141 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9143 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9144 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9147 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
9148 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
9149 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
9151 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
9153 * Memory management:
9154 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
9155 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
9156 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9157 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9158 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9159 never worked as intended.
9160 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9161 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9162 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9163 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9164 efficient and scalable implementation.
9165 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9168 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9169 unnecessary recursion.
9172 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
9173 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
9174 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9178 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9181 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9182 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
