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.

1342 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1343 ===================================
1345 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1346 before the release of 2.44.0.
1348 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1350 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1351 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1352 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1353 default in the next cycle.
1355 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

1400 ===================================
1402 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1403 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1404 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1406 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1407 effective busy state.

1831 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
1832 ===================================
1834 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
1835 and NULL pointer dereferences.
1837 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
1838 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
1840 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
1841 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
1843 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
1844 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
1846 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
1848 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
1849 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
1851 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
1852 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
1853 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
1855 * ... and many other bug fixes.

1914 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
1915 =====================================================

1947 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1948 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1949 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1950 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2205 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2206 ====================================================
2208 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2210 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2212 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2213 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2216 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2217 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2220 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2222 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2224 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2227 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2228 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2230 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2232 * Applications/Actions
2234 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2235 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2238 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2239 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2241 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2242 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2243 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2244 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2248 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2249 accesses that are performed in common situations
2251 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2252 are installed/removed
2254 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2255 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2257 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2258 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2263 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2265 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2266 that test programs don't pick them up
2268 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2270 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2271 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2272 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2273 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2275 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2276 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2278 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2279 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2280 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2284 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2286 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2288 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2340 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2341 ====================================================
2343 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2347 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2349 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2350 them can restart the application with an action (via
2355 - new API for launching subprocesses
2357 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2359 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2361 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2362 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2364 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2366 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2368 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2369 actions and listing apps and actions
2371 - bash tab completion is supported
2373 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2375 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2376 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2378 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2379 DBusActivatable=true
2381 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2382 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2387 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2389 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2390 class and inotify backend
2392 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2393 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2395 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2400 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2401 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2402 when there are invalid schemas installed
2404 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2408 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2409 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2411 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2414 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2415 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2416 semantics of the interface in each case
2418 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2419 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2421 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2423 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2424 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2425 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2426 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2430 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2433 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2435 * Portability improvements
2437 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2439 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2440 actually support it (like Hurd)
2442 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2444 * Other small API changes/additions
2446 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2447 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2448 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2450 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2452 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2453 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2455 * GMainContext/GSource
2457 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2459 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2460 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2461 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2462 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2463 broken and should probably be fixed.
2465 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2466 require use of a linked list
2470 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2471 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2472 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2474 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2478 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2479 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2480 gphoto, archive, at least).
2482 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2484 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2487 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2488 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2489 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2491 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2493 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2495 * Many documentation improvements
2498 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2499 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2500 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2512 706254 Afp backend cannot copy files
2513 707887 Attempting to create GObject Property with underscore prefix segfaults
2514 708042 gapplication: don't rely on cmdline being finalized immediately

2516 708266 fix error code checks when SOCK_CLOEXEC is defined but not supported
2517 708529 xdgmime: valgrind warns about invalid reads
2518 708677 incorrect object path 'deskop' used in gio/gdbusobjectmanagerclient.c
2519 708714 Typo in docs of GLIB_VERSION_2_40 macro.

2547 Brazilian Portuguese
2553 What's new in Glib 2.38
2554 ========================
2556 * Application support
2558 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2559 desktop entry specification
2561 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2562 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2563 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2565 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2566 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2567 to launch other applications
2569 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2570 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2574 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2575 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2576 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2577 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2578 any problems that this may have caused.
2580 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2581 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2582 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2583 (allowing memory savings)
2585 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2586 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2587 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2589 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2590 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2593 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2594 without destroying one of the objects involved
2598 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2599 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2600 with a finite number of cases
2602 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2603 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2605 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2606 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2607 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2608 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2611 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2615 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2616 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2617 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2619 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2621 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2622 and an API to check them
2624 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2625 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2627 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2628 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2632 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2633 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2634 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2637 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2638 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2639 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2641 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2646 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2647 allow for regexp matching on streams
2649 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2650 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2651 g_variant_new_printf()
2655 - we can now generate TAP output
2657 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2658 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2660 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2665 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2787 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2788 ==============================================
2790 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2791 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2792 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2793 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2795 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2796 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2799 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2801 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

2976 ==============================================
2978 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2979 and a parser API for them is now provided
2981 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2982 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2983 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3043 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3044 ==============================================
3046 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3048 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3049 the destination file
3051 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3053 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3075 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3076 ==============================================
3078 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3079 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3080 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3081 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3135 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3136 ==============================================
3138 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3139 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3140 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3141 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3142 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3146 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3147 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3149 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

3151 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

3171 ==============================================
3173 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3175 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3176 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3178 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3179 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3181 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3194 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3195 ==============================================
3197 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3200 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3201 ready at a specified monotonic time
3203 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3205 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3208 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3209 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3307 * Translation updates:
3322 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3323 ==============================================
3325 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3326 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3327 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3328 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3329 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3331 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3332 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3333 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3334 particular, are incompatible.
3336 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3370 * Translation updates:
3381 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3382 ==============================================
3384 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3385 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3386 causing regressions in applications.
3388 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3389 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3390 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3393 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3394 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3395 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3397 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3399 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3401 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3403 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3405 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3407 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3409 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3411 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3413 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3415 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3466 ==============================================
3468 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3469 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3471 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3472 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3474 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3476 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3478 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3480 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3482 * GLib version macros updated
3484 * Update to Unicode 6.2

4309 ==============================================
4312 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4313 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4314 to an overridden property
4315 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4316 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4318 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4319 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4321 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4363 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4364 ==============================================
4366 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4367 moved to GtkApplication.
4369 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4370 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4371 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4372 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4374 * lots of documentation improvements
4376 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4378 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4379 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4381 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4383 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4385 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4387 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4388 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4391 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4392 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4393 664699 glib: documentation fixes

4396 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4397 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4399 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4400 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4401 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4403 * Translations updated:
4407 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4408 ==============================================
4410 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4411 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4412 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4415 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4416 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4417 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4420 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4421 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4422 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4423 through an idle on the context.
4425 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4426 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4427 fixes here and there.
4429 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4430 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4431 API available outside GLib
4433 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4474 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4475 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4476 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4478 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4481 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4482 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4497 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4498 =================================================
4500 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4501 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4503 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4504 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4505 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4506 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4507 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4508 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4509 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4510 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4511 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4512 required (and has been deprecated)
4513 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4514 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4515 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4516 without explicit initialisation.
4517 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4518 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4519 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4521 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4522 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4523 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4524 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4525 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4526 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4527 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4529 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4530 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4531 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4532 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4533 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4534 - other implementation details changed
4536 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4537 deprecated/ directory.
4539 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4540 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4541 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4543 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4544 platform over a year ago).
4546 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4547 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4549 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4550 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4552 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4553 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4554 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4555 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4558 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4559 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4562 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4564 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4565 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4567 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4568 in a multi-threaded program
4570 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4571 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4574 - drop -uninstalled variants
4575 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4577 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4578 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4579 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4581 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4583 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4584 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4587 - many code generation updates and improvements
4588 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4591 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4592 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4594 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4596 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4599 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4600 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4602 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4603 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4605 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4607 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4611 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4612 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5037 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
5038 ==============================================
5040 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5041 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5042 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5043 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5044 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5045 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5047 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5048 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5050 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5052 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
5054 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5105 * Updated translations:
5114 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5115 ==============================================
5118 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5119 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5120 an 'object manager' pattern:
5121 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5122 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5123 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5124 And server-side implementations:
5125 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5126 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5127 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5131 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5135 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5136 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5137 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5138 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5141 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5142 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5145 * Unix-specific APIs:
5146 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5147 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5148 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5149 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5150 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5151 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5175 * Updated translations
5182 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5183 ==============================================
5186 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5187 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5188 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5191 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5192 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5193 situations has been improved
5196 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5197 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5200 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5201 match strcmp() semantics
5202 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5203 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5204 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5206 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5207 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5210 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5212 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5214 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5215 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5216 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5373 g_desktop_app_info_launch_uris_as_manager(), which
5374 gives more control over the launched process.
5376 * The memory and null GSettings backends are now available

5547 - Support environment passing
5550 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5551 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5553 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5554 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5555 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5559 158725 free linked list with data

5572 * Translation updates:
5578 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5579 ==============================================
5581 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5582 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5584 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5585 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5587 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5589 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5591 g_settings_get_range
5592 g_settings_range_check
5593 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5595 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5596 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5598 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5599 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5601 g_main_context_invoke
5602 g_main_context_invoke_full
5604 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5605 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5606 looking for default applications.
5608 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5609 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5610 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5611 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5613 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5614 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5615 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5876 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5877 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5878 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5879 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very

6017 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6018 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6019 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6020 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6021 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6024 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6025 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6026 nobody was doing that.
6027 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6029 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6030 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6032 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6033 have a serial number
6034 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6036 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6038 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6039 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6040 has finished running on GDBus services.
6041 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6042 this due to the obvious race)
6043 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6044 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6047 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6048 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6049 arguments and different behaviour
6050 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6051 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6052 strings instead of utf8 strings
6053 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6054 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6055 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6056 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6057 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6058 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6059 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6060 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6061 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6064 - improved documentation
6065 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6066 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6067 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6068 overridden using <override>.
6069 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6071 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6072 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6073 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6074 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6075 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6076 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6077 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6078 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6079 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6080 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6081 being set due to a premature free
6082 - command line tool: bash completion support
6083 - chain up in _finalize
6084 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6086 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6087 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6088 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6090 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6091 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6092 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6093 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6094 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6098 - always intern GBinding prop names
6099 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6100 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6101 - GNode docs improvements
6102 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6103 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

6110 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6111 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6112 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6113 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6114 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6115 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6117 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6118 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

6808 ===================================================
6811 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6812 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6813 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6814 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6815 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6816 while loading or saving it.
6817 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6818 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6819 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6822 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6823 interfaces to dynamic types.
6826 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6827 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
6828 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

7547 ===================================================
7549 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7550 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7551 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7552 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7553 also uses less memory overall.
7555 * Make g_poll available as public api
7557 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7558 that a GError is set or unset
7560 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7562 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7563 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7565 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7566 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9180 =================================================
9182 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9183 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9184 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9186 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9187 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9190 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
9191 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
9192 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
9194 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
9196 * Memory management:
9197 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
9198 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
9199 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9200 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9201 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9202 never worked as intended.
9203 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9204 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9205 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9206 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9207 efficient and scalable implementation.
9208 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9211 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9212 unnecessary recursion.
9215 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:

9217 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9221 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9224 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9225 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9226 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9230 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9231 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9232 since they are in glib.h
