1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
2 ==================================
4 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
5 which makes error checking easier (#553)
7 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
8 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
9 variables, or mostly anything else (see
10 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
12 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
13 Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)
15 * Add `g_assert_cmpstrv()` test convenience function (work by Niels De Graef) (#2015)
17 * Changes to the behaviour of the `G_URI_FLAGS_SCHEME_NORMALIZE` scheme
18 normalization flag in `GUri` (work by Carlos Garcia Campos) (#2257, !1716)
20 * Add new `--run-prefix` and `--skip-prefix` options to GTest, to allow running
21 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
23 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
24 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
25 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
26 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
27 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
28 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

988 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
990 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing

996 * Always build the tests if installed-tests are enabled, so that the tests can
997 actually be installed (!1141)

1000 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
1001 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
1003 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
1005 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)

1165 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1166 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1168 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1169 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1171 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1172 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1174 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1175 third-party code should now be using

1192 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1194 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1195 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1197 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1199 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1200 of packaged libraries (!951)
1202 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1435 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.0
1436 ==================================
1438 * Changes to `iconv` configure options, including the default iconv
1439 implementation on macOS — distributors may need to check their configure

1454 `GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)

1674 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1675 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1676 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

1744 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1745 ==================================
1747 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1748 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1749 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1750 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1752 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1753 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1755 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1757 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1759 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1761 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1762 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1763 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1764 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1766 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1767 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1769 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1770 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1771 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1773 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1775 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1776 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1779 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1780 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1782 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1783 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1784 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1786 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1787 portal backends. (!317)
1789 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1792 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1794 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1797 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1799 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1802 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1803 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1804 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1806 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1807 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1809 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1810 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1811 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1812 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1814 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1816 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2025 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2026 ==================================
2028 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2029 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2030 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2031 with Meson or autotools. See:
2032 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2034 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2036 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2037 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2039 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2041 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2043 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2044 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2045 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2046 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2049 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2050 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2051 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2052 !265 Network monitor again
2053 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2054 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2055 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2056 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2057 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2058 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2060 * Translation updates:
2070 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2071 ==================================
2073 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2074 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2075 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2076 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2078 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2080 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2082 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2084 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2086 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2087 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2089 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2091 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2092 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2093 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2096 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2098 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2101 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

3272 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
3273 ==================================
3275 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3276 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3277 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3278 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
3280 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
3281 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3282 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3284 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3285 environment variable.
3287 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3288 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3450 is unavailable or undesired.
3452 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

3507 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3508 ==================================
3510 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3511 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3512 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3513 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3515 This release corrects only this problem.
3517 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3518 ==================================
3520 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3521 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3522 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3524 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3870 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3871 ==================================
3873 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3874 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3875 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3876 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3877 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3878 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3880 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3881 have seen major improvements.
3883 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3884 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3885 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3888 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3890 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3892 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3894 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3895 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3896 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3897 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3898 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3899 you use the --strict option.
3901 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3902 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3903 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3905 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3907 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3908 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3909 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3954 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3955 ===================================
3957 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3958 before the release of 2.44.0.
3960 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3962 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3963 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3964 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3965 default in the next cycle.
3967 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3969 * new GTask:completed property
3971 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3972 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

4012 ===================================
4014 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4015 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4016 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4018 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4019 effective busy state.

4072 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4074 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4075 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

4443 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
4444 ===================================
4446 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
4447 and NULL pointer dereferences.
4449 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
4450 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
4452 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
4453 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
4455 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
4456 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
4458 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
4460 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
4461 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
4463 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
4464 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
4465 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
4467 * ... and many other bug fixes.

4559 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4560 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4561 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4562 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4817 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4818 ====================================================
4820 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4822 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4824 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4825 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4828 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4829 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4832 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4834 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4836 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4839 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4840 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4842 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4844 * Applications/Actions
4846 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4847 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4850 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4851 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4853 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4854 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4855 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4856 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4860 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4861 accesses that are performed in common situations
4863 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4864 are installed/removed
4866 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4867 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4869 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4870 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4875 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4877 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4878 that test programs don't pick them up
4880 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4882 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4883 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4884 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4885 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4887 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4888 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4890 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4891 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4892 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4896 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4898 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4900 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

4952 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4953 ====================================================
4955 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4959 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4961 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4962 them can restart the application with an action (via
4967 - new API for launching subprocesses
4969 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4971 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4973 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4974 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4976 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4978 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4980 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4981 actions and listing apps and actions
4983 - bash tab completion is supported
4985 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4987 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4988 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4990 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4991 DBusActivatable=true
4993 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4994 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4999 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5001 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5002 class and inotify backend
5004 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5005 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5007 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5012 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5013 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5014 when there are invalid schemas installed
5016 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5020 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5021 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5023 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5026 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5027 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5028 semantics of the interface in each case
5030 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5031 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5033 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5035 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5036 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5037 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5038 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5042 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5045 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5047 * Portability improvements
5049 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5051 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5052 actually support it (like Hurd)
5054 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5056 * Other small API changes/additions
5058 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5059 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5060 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5062 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5064 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5065 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5067 * GMainContext/GSource
5069 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5071 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5072 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5073 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5074 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5075 broken and should probably be fixed.
5077 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5078 require use of a linked list
5082 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5083 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5084 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5086 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5090 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5091 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5092 gphoto, archive, at least).
5094 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5096 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5099 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5100 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5101 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5103 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5105 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5107 * Many documentation improvements
5110 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
5111 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
5112 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

5165 What's new in Glib 2.38
5166 ========================
5168 * Application support
5170 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5171 desktop entry specification
5173 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5174 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5175 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5177 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5178 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5179 to launch other applications
5181 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5182 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5186 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5187 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5188 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5189 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5190 any problems that this may have caused.
5192 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5193 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5194 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5195 (allowing memory savings)
5197 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5198 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5199 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5201 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5202 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5205 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5206 without destroying one of the objects involved
5210 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5211 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5212 with a finite number of cases
5214 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5215 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5217 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5218 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5219 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5220 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5223 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5227 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5228 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5229 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5231 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5233 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5234 and an API to check them
5236 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5237 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5239 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5240 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5244 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5245 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5246 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5249 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5250 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5251 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5253 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5258 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5259 allow for regexp matching on streams
5261 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5262 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5263 g_variant_new_printf()
5267 - we can now generate TAP output
5269 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5270 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5272 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5277 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5399 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
5400 ==============================================
5402 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5403 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5404 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5405 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5407 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5408 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5411 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5413 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
5414 the key was locked down)

5594 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5595 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5655 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
5656 ==============================================
5658 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5660 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5661 the destination file
5663 - fix some 'available since' annotations
5665 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

5687 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5688 ==============================================
5690 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5691 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5692 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5693 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5747 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5748 ==============================================
5750 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5751 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5752 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5753 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5754 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5758 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5759 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5761 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

5763 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

5783 ==============================================
5785 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5787 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5788 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5790 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5791 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5793 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5806 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5807 ==============================================
5809 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5812 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5813 ready at a specified monotonic time
5815 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5817 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

5919 * Translation updates:
5934 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5935 ==============================================
5937 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5938 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5939 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5940 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5941 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5943 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5944 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5945 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5946 particular, are incompatible.
5948 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5993 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5994 ==============================================
5996 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5997 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5998 causing regressions in applications.
6000 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6001 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6002 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6005 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6006 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6007 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6009 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6011 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6013 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6015 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6017 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6019 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6021 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6023 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6025 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6027 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6078 ==============================================
6080 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6081 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6083 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6084 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6086 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6088 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
6090 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
6092 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
6094 * GLib version macros updated
6096 * Update to Unicode 6.2

6921 ==============================================
6924 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6925 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6926 to an overridden property
6927 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6928 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6930 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6931 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

6975 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6976 ==============================================
6978 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6979 moved to GtkApplication.
6981 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6982 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6983 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6984 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6986 * lots of documentation improvements
6988 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6990 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6991 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6993 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6995 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6997 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6999 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7000 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7003 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7004 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

7008 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7009 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

7012 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
7013 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
7015 * Translations updated:
7019 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7020 ==============================================
7022 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7023 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7024 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7027 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7028 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7029 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7032 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7033 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7034 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7035 through an idle on the context.
7037 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7038 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7039 fixes here and there.
7041 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7042 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7043 API available outside GLib
7045 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7086 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7087 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7088 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7090 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

7109 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7110 =================================================
7112 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7113 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7115 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7116 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7117 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7118 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7119 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7120 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7121 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7122 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7123 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7124 required (and has been deprecated)
7125 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7126 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7127 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7128 without explicit initialisation.
7129 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7130 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7131 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7133 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7134 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7135 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7136 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7137 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7138 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7139 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7141 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7142 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7143 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7144 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7145 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7146 - other implementation details changed
7148 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7149 deprecated/ directory.
7151 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7152 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7153 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7155 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7156 platform over a year ago).
7158 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7159 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7161 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7162 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7164 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7165 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7166 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7167 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7170 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7171 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7174 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7176 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7177 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7179 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7180 in a multi-threaded program
7182 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7183 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7186 - drop -uninstalled variants
7187 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7189 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7190 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7191 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7193 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7195 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7196 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7199 - many code generation updates and improvements
7200 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7203 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7204 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7206 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7208 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7211 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7212 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7214 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7215 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7217 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7219 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7223 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7224 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7649 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
7650 ==============================================
7652 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7653 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7654 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7655 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7656 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7657 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7659 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7660 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7662 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7664 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7666 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

7717 * Updated translations:
7726 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7727 ==============================================
7730 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7731 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7732 an 'object manager' pattern:
7733 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7734 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7735 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7736 And server-side implementations:
7737 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7738 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7739 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7743 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7747 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7748 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7749 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7750 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7753 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7754 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7757 * Unix-specific APIs:
7758 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7759 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7760 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7761 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7762 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7763 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7787 * Updated translations
7794 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7795 ==============================================
7798 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7799 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7800 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7803 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7804 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7805 situations has been improved
7808 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7809 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7812 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7813 match strcmp() semantics
7814 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7815 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7816 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7818 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7819 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7822 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7824 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7826 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7827 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7828 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8162 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8163 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8165 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8166 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8167 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8171 158725 free linked list with data

8184 * Translation updates:
8190 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8191 ==============================================
8193 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8194 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8196 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8197 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8199 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8201 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8203 g_settings_get_range
8204 g_settings_range_check
8205 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8207 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8208 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8210 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8211 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8213 g_main_context_invoke
8214 g_main_context_invoke_full
8216 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8217 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8218 looking for default applications.
8220 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8221 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8222 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8223 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8225 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8226 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8227 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8486 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8488 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8489 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8490 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8491 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8494 There have been many other improvements, however:
8497 - vastly improved test coverage

8617 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
8618 =====================================================
8620 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8621 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8622 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8623 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8624 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8627 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8628 -Bsymbolic-functions
8629 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8630 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8631 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8632 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8633 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8636 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8637 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8638 nobody was doing that.
8639 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8641 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8642 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8644 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8645 have a serial number
8646 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8648 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8650 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8651 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8652 has finished running on GDBus services.
8653 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8654 this due to the obvious race)
8655 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8656 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8659 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8660 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8661 arguments and different behaviour
8662 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8663 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8664 strings instead of utf8 strings
8665 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8666 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8667 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8668 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8669 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8670 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8671 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8672 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8673 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8676 - improved documentation
8677 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8678 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8679 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8680 overridden using <override>.
8681 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8683 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8684 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8685 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8686 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8687 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8688 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8689 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8690 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8691 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8692 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8693 being set due to a premature free
8694 - command line tool: bash completion support
8695 - chain up in _finalize
8696 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8698 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8699 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8700 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8702 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8703 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8704 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8705 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8706 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8710 - always intern GBinding prop names
8711 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8712 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8713 - GNode docs improvements
8714 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8715 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8716 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8720 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8721 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8722 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8723 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8724 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8725 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8726 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8727 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8729 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8730 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8731 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8732 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8733 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8734 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8735 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
8736 610784 array test failing
8737 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

9420 ===================================================
9423 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9424 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9425 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9426 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9427 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9428 while loading or saving it.
9429 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9430 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9431 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9434 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9435 interfaces to dynamic types.
9438 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9439 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

11794 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11795 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11796 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11798 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11799 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11802 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11803 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11804 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11805 "stutter stepping".
11806 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]

11814 never worked as intended.
11815 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11816 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11817 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11818 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11819 efficient and scalable implementation.
11820 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11822 * Pattern matching:
11823 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11824 unnecessary recursion.
11827 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11828 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11829 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11832 * g_thread_foreach:
11833 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11836 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11837 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11838 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11842 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11843 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
