29 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
30 ==============================================
32 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
33 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
34 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
35 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
36 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
37 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
39 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
40 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
42 * Access to quarks is now lockless
44 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
46 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

97 * Updated translations:
106 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
107 ==============================================
110 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
111 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
112 an 'object manager' pattern:
113 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
114 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
115 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
116 And server-side implementations:
117 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
118 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
119 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
123 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
127 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
128 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
129 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
130 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
133 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
134 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
137 * Unix-specific APIs:
138 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
139 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
140 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
141 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
142 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
143 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

155 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
156 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
157 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
158 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
159 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
160 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
161 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
162 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
163 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
164 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
165 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
167 * Updated translations
174 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
175 ==============================================
178 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
179 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
180 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
183 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
184 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
185 situations has been improved
188 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
189 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
192 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
193 match strcmp() semantics
194 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
195 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
196 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
198 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
199 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
202 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
204 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
206 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
207 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
208 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

538 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
539 - Support environment passing
542 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
543 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
545 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
546 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
547 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
551 158725 free linked list with data

570 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
571 ==============================================
573 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
574 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
576 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
577 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
579 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
581 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
584 g_settings_range_check
585 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
587 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
588 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
590 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
591 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
593 g_main_context_invoke
594 g_main_context_invoke_full
596 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
597 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
598 looking for default applications.
600 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
601 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
602 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
603 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
605 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
606 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
607 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

864 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
865 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
866 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
868 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
869 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
870 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
871 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
874 There have been many other improvements, however:
877 - vastly improved test coverage
878 - old tests moved to the gtester framework

931 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
932 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
933 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
934 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
935 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
936 | required (and will be along soon). |
937 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

997 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
998 =====================================================
1000 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1001 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
1002 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
1003 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
1004 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
1007 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
1008 -Bsymbolic-functions
1009 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
1010 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
1011 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
1012 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
1013 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1016 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
1017 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
1018 nobody was doing that.
1019 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
1021 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
1022 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
1024 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
1025 have a serial number
1026 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
1028 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
1030 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
1031 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
1032 has finished running on GDBus services.
1033 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
1034 this due to the obvious race)
1035 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
1036 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
1039 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
1040 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
1041 arguments and different behaviour
1042 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
1043 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
1044 strings instead of utf8 strings
1045 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
1046 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
1047 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
1048 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
1049 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
1050 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
1051 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
1052 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
1053 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
1056 - improved documentation
1057 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
1058 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
1059 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
1060 overridden using <override>.
1061 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
1063 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
1064 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
1065 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
1066 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
1067 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
1068 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
1069 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
1070 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
1071 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
1072 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
1073 being set due to a premature free
1074 - command line tool: bash completion support
1075 - chain up in _finalize
1076 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
1078 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
1079 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
1080 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
1082 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
1083 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
1084 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
1085 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
1086 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
1090 - always intern GBinding prop names
1091 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
1092 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
1093 - GNode docs improvements
1094 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
1095 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
1096 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
1100 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
1101 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
1102 - improved tests for GKeyfile
1103 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
1104 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
1105 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
1106 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
1107 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
1109 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
1110 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
1111 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
1112 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
1113 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
1114 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
1115 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
1116 610784 array test failing
1117 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

1803 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1804 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1805 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1806 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1807 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1808 while loading or saving it.
1809 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1810 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1811 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1814 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1815 interfaces to dynamic types.
1818 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
1819 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

2542 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

2545 also uses less memory overall.

2554 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2555 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2557 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
