660 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
661 ==================================
663 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
664 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
665 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
666 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
668 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
669 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
670 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
672 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
673 environment variable.
675 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
676 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this
679 665446 Use g_abort() instead of abort()

836 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
837 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
838 is unavailable or undesired.
840 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

895 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
896 ==================================
898 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
899 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
900 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
901 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
903 This release corrects only this problem.
905 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
906 ==================================
908 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
909 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
910 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
912 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1258 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1259 ==================================
1261 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1262 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1263 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1264 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1265 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1266 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1268 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1269 have seen major improvements.
1271 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1272 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1273 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1276 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1278 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1280 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1282 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1283 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1284 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1285 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1286 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1287 you use the --strict option.
1289 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1290 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1291 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1293 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1295 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1296 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1297 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1383 before the release of 2.44.0.
1385 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1387 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now

1868 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
1869 ===================================
1871 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
1872 and NULL pointer dereferences.
1874 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
1875 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
1877 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
1878 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
1880 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
1881 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
1883 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
1885 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
1886 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
1888 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
1889 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
1890 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
1892 * ... and many other bug fixes.

1984 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1985 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1986 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1987 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2242 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2243 ====================================================
2245 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2247 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2249 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2250 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2253 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2254 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2257 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2259 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2261 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2264 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2265 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2267 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2269 * Applications/Actions
2271 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2272 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2275 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2276 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2278 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2279 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2280 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2281 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2285 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2286 accesses that are performed in common situations
2288 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2289 are installed/removed
2291 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2292 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2294 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2295 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2300 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2302 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2303 that test programs don't pick them up
2305 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2307 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2308 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2309 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2310 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2312 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2313 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2315 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2316 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2317 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2321 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2323 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2325 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2377 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2378 ====================================================
2380 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2384 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2386 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2387 them can restart the application with an action (via
2392 - new API for launching subprocesses
2394 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2396 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2398 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2399 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2401 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2403 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2405 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2406 actions and listing apps and actions
2408 - bash tab completion is supported
2410 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2412 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2413 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2415 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2416 DBusActivatable=true
2418 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2419 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2424 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2426 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2427 class and inotify backend
2429 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2430 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2432 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2437 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2438 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2439 when there are invalid schemas installed
2441 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2445 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2446 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2448 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2451 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2452 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2453 semantics of the interface in each case
2455 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2456 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2458 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2460 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2461 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2462 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2463 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2467 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2470 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2472 * Portability improvements
2474 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2476 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2477 actually support it (like Hurd)
2479 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2481 * Other small API changes/additions
2483 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2484 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2485 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2487 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2489 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2490 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2492 * GMainContext/GSource
2494 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2496 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2497 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2498 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2499 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2500 broken and should probably be fixed.
2502 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2503 require use of a linked list
2507 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2508 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2509 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2511 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2515 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2516 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2517 gphoto, archive, at least).
2519 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2521 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2524 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2525 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2526 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2528 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2530 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2532 * Many documentation improvements
2535 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2536 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2537 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2584 Brazilian Portuguese
2590 What's new in Glib 2.38
2591 ========================
2593 * Application support
2595 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2596 desktop entry specification
2598 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2599 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2600 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2602 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2603 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2604 to launch other applications
2606 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2607 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2611 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2612 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2613 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2614 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2615 any problems that this may have caused.
2617 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2618 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2619 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2620 (allowing memory savings)
2622 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2623 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2624 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2626 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2627 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2630 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2631 without destroying one of the objects involved
2635 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2636 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2637 with a finite number of cases
2639 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2640 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2642 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2643 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2644 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2645 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2648 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2652 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2653 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2654 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2656 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2658 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2659 and an API to check them
2661 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2662 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2664 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2665 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2669 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2670 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2671 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2674 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2675 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2676 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2678 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2683 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2684 allow for regexp matching on streams
2686 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2687 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2688 g_variant_new_printf()
2692 - we can now generate TAP output
2694 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2695 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2697 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2702 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2824 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2825 ==============================================
2827 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2828 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2829 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2830 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2832 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2833 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2836 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2838 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2839 the key was locked down)

3012 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3013 ==============================================
3015 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3016 and a parser API for them is now provided
3018 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for

3080 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3081 ==============================================
3083 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3085 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3086 the destination file
3088 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3090 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3113 ==============================================
3115 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3116 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3117 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3118 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3172 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3173 ==============================================
3175 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3176 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3177 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3178 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3179 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3183 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3184 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3186 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

3188 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

3208 ==============================================
3210 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3212 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3213 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3215 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3216 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3218 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3231 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3232 ==============================================
3234 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3237 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3238 ready at a specified monotonic time
3240 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3242 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3344 * Translation updates:
3359 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3360 ==============================================
3362 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3363 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3364 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3365 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3366 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3368 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3369 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3370 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3371 particular, are incompatible.
3373 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3418 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3419 ==============================================
3421 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3422 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3423 causing regressions in applications.
3425 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3426 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3427 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3430 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3431 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3432 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3434 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3436 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3438 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3440 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3442 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3444 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3446 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3448 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3450 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3452 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3502 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3503 ==============================================
3505 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3506 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3508 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3509 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3511 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3513 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

4346 ==============================================
4349 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4350 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4351 to an overridden property
4352 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4353 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4355 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4356 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4358 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4400 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4401 ==============================================
4403 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4404 moved to GtkApplication.
4406 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4407 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4408 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4409 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4411 * lots of documentation improvements
4413 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4415 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4416 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4418 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4420 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4422 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4424 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4425 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4428 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4429 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4433 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4434 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4435 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4436 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4437 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4438 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4440 * Translations updated:
4444 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4445 ==============================================
4447 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4448 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4449 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4452 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4453 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4454 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4457 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4458 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4459 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4460 through an idle on the context.
4462 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4463 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4464 fixes here and there.
4466 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4467 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4468 API available outside GLib
4470 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4511 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4512 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4513 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4515 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4518 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it

4534 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4535 =================================================
4537 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4538 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4540 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4541 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4542 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4543 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4544 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4545 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4546 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4547 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4548 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4549 required (and has been deprecated)
4550 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4551 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4552 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4553 without explicit initialisation.
4554 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4555 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4556 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4558 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4559 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4560 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4561 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4562 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4563 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4564 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4566 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4567 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4568 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4569 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4570 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4571 - other implementation details changed
4573 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4574 deprecated/ directory.
4576 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4577 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4578 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4580 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4581 platform over a year ago).
4583 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4584 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4586 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4587 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4589 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4590 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4591 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4592 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4595 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4596 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4599 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4601 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4602 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4604 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4605 in a multi-threaded program
4607 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4608 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4611 - drop -uninstalled variants
4612 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4614 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4615 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4616 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4618 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4620 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4621 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4624 - many code generation updates and improvements
4625 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4628 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4629 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4631 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4633 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4636 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4637 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4639 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4640 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4642 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4644 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4648 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4649 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5075 ==============================================
5077 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5078 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5079 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5080 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5081 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5082 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5084 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5085 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5087 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5089 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5091 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5142 * Updated translations:
5151 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5152 ==============================================
5155 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5156 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5157 an 'object manager' pattern:
5158 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5159 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5160 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5161 And server-side implementations:
5162 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5163 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5164 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5168 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5172 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5173 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5174 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5175 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5178 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5179 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5182 * Unix-specific APIs:
5183 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5184 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5185 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5186 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5187 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5188 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5212 * Updated translations
5219 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5220 ==============================================
5223 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5224 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5225 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5228 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5229 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5230 situations has been improved
5233 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5234 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5237 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5238 match strcmp() semantics
5239 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5240 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5241 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5243 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5244 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5247 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5249 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5251 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5252 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5253 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5584 - Support environment passing
5587 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5588 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5590 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5591 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5592 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

5609 * Translation updates:
5615 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5616 ==============================================
5618 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5619 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5621 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5622 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5624 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5626 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5628 g_settings_get_range
5629 g_settings_range_check
5630 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5632 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5633 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5635 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5636 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5638 g_main_context_invoke
5639 g_main_context_invoke_full
5641 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5642 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5643 looking for default applications.
5645 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5646 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5647 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5648 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5650 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5651 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5652 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5911 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5913 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5914 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5915 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5916 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5919 There have been many other improvements, however:
5922 - vastly improved test coverage
5923 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5924 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5925 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5943 without mapping functions
5944 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
5947 - improve closure support for bindings

5977 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5978 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5979 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |

6042 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6043 =====================================================
6045 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6046 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6047 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6048 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6049 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6052 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6053 -Bsymbolic-functions
6054 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6055 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6056 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6057 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6058 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6061 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6062 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6063 nobody was doing that.
6064 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6066 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6067 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6069 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6070 have a serial number
6071 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6073 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6075 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6076 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6077 has finished running on GDBus services.
6078 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6079 this due to the obvious race)
6080 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6081 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6084 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6085 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6086 arguments and different behaviour
6087 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6088 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6089 strings instead of utf8 strings
6090 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6091 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6092 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6093 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6094 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6095 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6096 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6097 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6098 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6101 - improved documentation
6102 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6103 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6104 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6105 overridden using <override>.
6106 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6108 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6109 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6110 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6111 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6112 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6113 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6114 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6115 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6116 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6117 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6118 being set due to a premature free
6119 - command line tool: bash completion support
6120 - chain up in _finalize
6121 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6123 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6124 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6125 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6127 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6128 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6129 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6130 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6131 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6135 - always intern GBinding prop names
6136 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6137 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6138 - GNode docs improvements
6139 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6140 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6141 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6145 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6146 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6147 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6148 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6149 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6150 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6151 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6152 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6154 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6155 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6156 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6157 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6158 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6159 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6160 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6161 610784 array test failing
6162 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6163 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

6845 ===================================================
6848 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6849 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6850 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6851 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6852 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6853 while loading or saving it.
6854 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6855 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6856 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6859 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6860 interfaces to dynamic types.
6863 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6864 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7587 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

7590 also uses less memory overall.

7599 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7600 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7602 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

9219 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9220 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9221 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9223 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9224 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9227 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:

9241 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9242 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9243 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9244 efficient and scalable implementation.
9245 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9248 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9249 unnecessary recursion.

9261 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9262 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9263 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9267 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9268 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,

10226 * Portability fixes for threading. [Sebastian]
10227 * Added convenient functions for launching new processes (g_spawn_*),
10228 and shell quoting/unquoting functions. [Havoc]
10229 * Split glib.h into many headers. [Sebastian]
10230 * Added a simple callback-based parser for XML-like files (GMarkup). [Havoc]
10231 * Fixed confusions between comparison functions that return <0, 0, >0
10232 and equaility functions that return FALSE,TRUE. [Sebastian]
10233 * Added safe/portable temporary file manipulation functions. [Tor]
10234 * autoconf improvements. [Raja]
10235 * Many documentation improvements.
10240 * Added boxed and pointer types. [Tim/Jonathan]
10241 * Added callback abstraction (GClosure) [Tim]
10242 * Added signal system (GSignal) [Tim]
10243 * Make GTypePlugin an interface [Tim]

10254 computing the canonical decomposition and ordering combining
10255 characters aand manipulating UTF-8 string manipulation based
10257 * GString now properly handles embedded nuls.
10258 * Multiple fixes from the 1.2.x branch.
10259 * Upgrade to libtool 1.3.3
