125 #1506 error: redefinition of typedef 'GKqueueFileMonitor'
127 * Translation updates:
137 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
138 ==================================
140 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
141 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
142 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
143 with Meson or autotools. See:
144 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
146 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
148 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
149 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
151 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
153 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
155 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
156 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
157 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
158 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
161 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
162 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
163 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
164 !265 Network monitor again
165 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file

168 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
169 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
170 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
172 * Translation updates:
182 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
183 ==================================
185 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
186 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
187 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
188 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
190 * Many minor documentation fixes.
192 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
194 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
196 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
198 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
199 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
201 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
203 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
204 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
205 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
208 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
210 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
213 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
214 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
215 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
216 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
217 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback

219 !251 gtestdbus: Fix watcher crash on FreeBSD
220 #1492 gcc-8: -Wcast-function-type: new warnings for g_list_copy_deep()

229 #1488 ‘O_CLOEXEC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
230 !241 glib-mkenums: forbid @filename@/@basename@ in fhead and ftail
231 !240 gtimer: Ensure arithmetic is correctly signed for ISO 8601 parsing

233 !234 DOC: Documentation fix in GTask description
234 #1363 Meson: Review cross compilation properties

236 !230 gbookmarkfile: Fix some more minor leaks when metadata elements are repeated
237 !229 Fix up g_bytes_compare() documentation
238 #1476 g_stat - possbile memory corruption causing SEGFAULT
239 !199 Update TLS documentation
240 #1474 g_test_incomplete() makes test_case_run() return FALSE
241 #1475 glib/tests/atomic.c test_types() trips -Werror=bad-function-cast on Debian armel
242 #1472 Test for BROKEN_IP_MREQ_SOURCE_STRUCT is broken on Windows / Mingw
243 !220 date test: Use g_test_skip(), not g_test_incomplete()
244 #1467 malloc difference causes refstring test to fail on FreeBSD
245 !230 gbookmarkfile: Fix some more minor leaks when metadata elements are repeated
246 #1466 Not Able to Build glib 2.57.2 in Mingw-w64 x64 bits
247 #1433 test_posix_parse: assertion failed (g_time_zone_get_abbreviation (tz, 0) == "UTC"): ("LMT" == "UTC")
248 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"
249 !206 grefstring: Avoid an unnecessary NUL assignment
250 #1458 g_volume_get_mount returns NULL value after g_volume_mount_finish is called with no error
251 !72 gio: icons should fallback to non-preferred style appropriately.

1397 environment variable.

1619 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1620 ==================================
1622 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1623 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1624 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1625 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1627 This release corrects only this problem.
1629 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1630 ==================================
1632 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1633 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1634 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1636 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1982 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1983 ==================================
1985 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1986 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1987 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1988 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1989 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1990 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1992 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1993 have seen major improvements.
1995 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1996 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1997 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2000 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2002 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2004 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2006 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2007 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2008 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2009 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2010 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2011 you use the --strict option.
2013 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2014 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2015 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2017 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2019 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2020 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2021 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2067 ===================================
2069 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2070 before the release of 2.44.0.
2072 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2074 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2075 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2076 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2077 default in the next cycle.
2079 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

2124 ===================================
2126 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
2127 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
2128 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
2130 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
2131 effective busy state.

2673 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2674 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2922 * Translations updates:
2929 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2930 ====================================================
2932 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2934 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2936 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2937 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2940 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2941 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2944 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2946 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2948 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2951 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2952 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2954 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2956 * Applications/Actions
2958 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2959 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2962 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2963 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2965 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2966 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2967 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2968 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2972 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2973 accesses that are performed in common situations
2975 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2976 are installed/removed
2978 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2979 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2981 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2982 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2987 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2989 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2990 that test programs don't pick them up
2992 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2994 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2995 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2996 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2997 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2999 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3000 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3002 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3003 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3004 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3008 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3010 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3012 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3014 Translations updated:
3022 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3025 645453 keys from base schema missing from extended schema
3026 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
3027 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key
3028 668233 Unable to determine if a key is set to the default / what the default value is
3029 680838 Need g_settings_schema_source_get_schemas()
3030 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata
3031 687185 org.gtk.Actions.Describe doesn't return an error for non-existing action names
3032 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3033 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3034 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3064 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3065 ====================================================
3067 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3071 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3073 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3074 them can restart the application with an action (via
3079 - new API for launching subprocesses
3081 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3083 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3085 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3086 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3088 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3090 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3092 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3093 actions and listing apps and actions
3095 - bash tab completion is supported
3097 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3099 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3100 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3102 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3103 DBusActivatable=true
3105 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3106 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3111 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3113 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3114 class and inotify backend
3116 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3117 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3119 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3124 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3125 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3126 when there are invalid schemas installed
3128 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3132 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3133 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3135 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3138 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3139 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3140 semantics of the interface in each case
3142 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3143 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3145 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3147 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3148 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3149 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3150 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3154 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3157 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3159 * Portability improvements
3161 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3163 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3164 actually support it (like Hurd)
3166 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3168 * Other small API changes/additions
3170 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3171 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3172 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3174 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3176 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3177 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3179 * GMainContext/GSource
3181 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3183 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3184 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3185 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3186 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3187 broken and should probably be fixed.
3189 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3190 require use of a linked list
3194 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3195 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3196 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3198 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3202 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3203 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3204 gphoto, archive, at least).
3206 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3208 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3211 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3212 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3213 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3215 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3217 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3219 * Many documentation improvements
3222 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3223 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3224 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3277 What's new in Glib 2.38
3278 ========================
3280 * Application support
3282 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3283 desktop entry specification
3285 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3286 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3287 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3289 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3290 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3291 to launch other applications
3293 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3294 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3298 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3299 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3300 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3301 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3302 any problems that this may have caused.
3304 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3305 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3306 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3307 (allowing memory savings)
3309 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3310 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3311 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3313 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3314 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3317 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3318 without destroying one of the objects involved
3322 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3323 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3324 with a finite number of cases
3326 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3327 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3329 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3330 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3331 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3332 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3335 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3339 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3340 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3341 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3343 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3345 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3346 and an API to check them
3348 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3349 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3351 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3352 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3356 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3357 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3358 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3361 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3362 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3363 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3365 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3370 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3371 allow for regexp matching on streams
3373 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3374 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3375 g_variant_new_printf()
3379 - we can now generate TAP output
3381 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3382 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3384 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3389 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3515 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3516 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3517 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

3610 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
3611 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
3613 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
3614 and will trigger a warning.

3658 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3660 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3662 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3664 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

3699 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3700 ==============================================
3702 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3703 and a parser API for them is now provided
3705 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3706 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3707 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3800 ==============================================
3802 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3803 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3804 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3805 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3859 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3860 ==============================================
3862 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3863 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3864 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3865 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3866 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3870 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3871 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3873 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3874 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3875 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
3876 * documentation fixes
3877 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
3880 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

3894 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3895 ==============================================
3897 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3899 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3900 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3902 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3903 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3905 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3918 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3919 ==============================================
3921 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3924 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3925 ready at a specified monotonic time
3927 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3929 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3932 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3933 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

4031 * Translation updates:
4046 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4047 ==============================================
4049 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4050 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4051 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4052 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4053 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4055 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4056 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4057 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4058 particular, are incompatible.
4060 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4105 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4106 ==============================================
4108 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4109 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4110 causing regressions in applications.
4112 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4113 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4114 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4117 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4118 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4119 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4121 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4123 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4125 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4127 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4129 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4131 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4133 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4135 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4137 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4139 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4189 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
4190 ==============================================
4192 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4193 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4195 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4196 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4198 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4200 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
4202 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
4204 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
4206 * GLib version macros updated
4208 * Update to Unicode 6.2

5027 * Translation updates:
5032 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.6 to 2.31.8
5033 ==============================================
5036 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
5037 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5038 to an overridden property
5039 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
5040 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
5042 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
5043 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

5087 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
5088 ==============================================
5090 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
5091 moved to GtkApplication.
5093 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5094 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5095 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5096 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5098 * lots of documentation improvements
5100 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5102 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5103 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
5105 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
5107 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
5109 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
5111 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
5112 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
5115 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
5116 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
5117 664699 glib: documentation fixes
5118 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
5119 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
5120 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
5121 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
5122 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
5123 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
5124 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
5125 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
5127 * Translations updated:
5131 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5132 ==============================================
5134 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5135 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5136 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5139 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5140 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5141 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5144 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5145 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5146 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5147 through an idle on the context.
5149 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5150 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5151 fixes here and there.
5153 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5154 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5155 API available outside GLib
5157 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5191 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
5192 ==============================================
5194 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
5196 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
5198 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
5199 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5200 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5202 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5205 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5206 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
5207 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
5210 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
5211 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
5214 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
5217 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
5218 - various GIO file and stream fixes
5219 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
5221 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5222 =================================================
5224 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5225 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5227 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5228 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5229 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5230 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5231 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5232 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5233 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5234 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5235 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5236 required (and has been deprecated)
5237 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5238 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5239 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5240 without explicit initialisation.
5241 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5242 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5243 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5245 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5246 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5247 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5248 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5249 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5250 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5251 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5253 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5254 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5255 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5256 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5257 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5258 - other implementation details changed
5260 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5261 deprecated/ directory.
5263 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5264 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5265 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5267 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5268 platform over a year ago).
5270 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5271 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5273 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5274 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5276 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5277 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5278 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5279 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5282 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5283 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5286 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5288 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5289 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5291 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5292 in a multi-threaded program
5294 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5295 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5298 - drop -uninstalled variants
5299 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5301 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5302 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5303 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5305 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5307 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5308 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5311 - many code generation updates and improvements
5312 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5315 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5316 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5318 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5320 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5323 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5324 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5326 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5327 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5329 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5331 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5335 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5336 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5761 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5762 ==============================================
5764 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5765 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5766 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5767 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5768 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5769 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5771 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5772 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5774 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5776 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5778 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
5780 * Introspection improvements:
5781 - Add a boxed type for GVariantBuilder
5782 - Annotation fixes in GDBus, GVariant, g_base64_

5829 * Updated translations:
5838 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5839 ==============================================
5842 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5843 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5844 an 'object manager' pattern:
5845 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5846 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5847 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5848 And server-side implementations:
5849 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5850 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5851 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5855 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5859 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5860 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5861 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5862 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5865 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5866 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5869 * Unix-specific APIs:
5870 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5871 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5872 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5873 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5874 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5875 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
5878 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing
5879 632631 GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_new_string: assertion `g_utf8_validate (string, -1, NULL)' failed

5883 643134 g_dbus_message_copy
5884 644941 glib-unix: New Unix-specific API
5885 646013 g_hash_table_remove_all_nodes optimization
5886 646309 glib cannot be cross-compilled for mingw32
5887 646435 GTimeZone doesn't seem to be thread-safe
5888 646957 GIO chained calls don't work with a thread default context
5889 647594 README link to mailing list is broken
5890 647602 Cannot connect to remote message bus via TCP
5891 647746 The GSocketService documentation is incomplete.
5892 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
5893 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
5894 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION
5895 648423 Support G_DEBUG=trap-warnings
5896 648425 GDesktopAppInfo: Add "filename" property for bindings
5897 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
5899 * Updated translations
5906 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5907 ==============================================
5910 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5911 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5912 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5915 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5916 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5917 situations has been improved
5920 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5921 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5924 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5925 match strcmp() semantics
5926 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5927 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5928 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5930 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5931 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5934 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5936 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5938 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5939 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5940 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6220 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
6221 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
6226 g_get_monotonic_time
6228 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
6231 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
6233 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
6235 g_simple_async_result_take_error
6236 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
6237 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
6239 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
6242 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
6243 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
6244 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE

6270 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6271 - Support environment passing
6274 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6275 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6277 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6278 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6279 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6283 158725 free linked list with data
6284 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

6293 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
6294 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
6296 * Translation updates:
6302 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6303 ==============================================
6305 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6306 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6308 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6309 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6311 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6313 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6315 g_settings_get_range
6316 g_settings_range_check
6317 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6319 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6320 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6322 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6323 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6325 g_main_context_invoke
6326 g_main_context_invoke_full
6328 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6329 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6330 looking for default applications.
6332 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6333 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,

6335 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.

6594 =====================================================
6596 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6597 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6598 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6600 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6601 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6602 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6603 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6606 There have been many other improvements, however:
6609 - vastly improved test coverage
6610 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6611 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6612 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6615 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

6661 =====================================================
6663 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6664 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6665 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6666 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6667 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6668 | required (and will be along soon). |
6669 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6672 - cleanup automake setup
6673 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6674 - various docs fixups
6675 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6681 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
6682 - add g_settings_reset()
6683 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
6686 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

6688 - proper support for file descriptor passing
6689 - new flags parameter for sending messages
6690 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
6691 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
6692 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6693 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6694 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6697 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6700 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
6701 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
6702 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
6705 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
6706 617483 Credentials passing
6707 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

6729 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6730 =====================================================
6732 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6733 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6734 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6735 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6736 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6739 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6740 -Bsymbolic-functions
6741 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6742 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6743 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6744 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6745 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6748 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6749 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6750 nobody was doing that.
6751 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6753 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6754 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6756 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6757 have a serial number
6758 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6760 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6762 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6763 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6764 has finished running on GDBus services.
6765 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6766 this due to the obvious race)
6767 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6768 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6771 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6772 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6773 arguments and different behaviour
6774 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6775 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6776 strings instead of utf8 strings
6777 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6778 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6779 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6780 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6781 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6782 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6783 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6784 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6785 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6788 - improved documentation
6789 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6790 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6791 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6792 overridden using <override>.
6793 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6795 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6796 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6797 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6798 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6799 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6800 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6801 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6802 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6803 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6804 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6805 being set due to a premature free
6806 - command line tool: bash completion support
6807 - chain up in _finalize
6808 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6810 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6811 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6812 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6814 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6815 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6816 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6817 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6818 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6822 - always intern GBinding prop names
6823 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6824 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6825 - GNode docs improvements
6826 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6827 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6828 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6832 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6833 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6834 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6835 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6836 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6837 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6838 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6839 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6841 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6842 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6843 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6844 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6845 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6846 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6847 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

6959 | WARNING: There have been API changes in GDBus, GSettings and |
6960 | GApplication. Users of these APIs will need to be adapted. In |
6961 | particular, a new release of GTK+ is required to go along with |
6963 +----------------------------------------------------------------+
6966 - Use Gio's default async implementation
6967 - Fix proxy construction for objects with no properties
6968 - Fix error handling in synchronous initialization

7532 ===================================================
7535 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7536 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7537 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7538 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7539 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7540 while loading or saving it.
7541 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7542 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7543 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7546 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7547 interfaces to dynamic types.
7550 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
7551 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
7552 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading
