900 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
901 ==================================
903 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
904 which makes error checking easier (#553)
906 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
907 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
908 variables, or mostly anything else (see
909 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)
911 * Support passing file handles to `gdbus` command line tool (work by
912 Norbert Pocs and Tim Waugh) (#961)
914 * Add `g_assert_cmpstrv()` test convenience function (work by Niels De Graef) (#2015)
916 * Changes to the behaviour of the `G_URI_FLAGS_SCHEME_NORMALIZE` scheme
917 normalization flag in `GUri` (work by Carlos Garcia Campos) (#2257, !1716)
919 * Add new `--run-prefix` and `--skip-prefix` options to GTest, to allow running
920 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
922 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
923 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
924 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
925 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
926 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
927 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`
928 (work by Sebastian Dröge) (!1745)

1887 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
1889 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing

2091 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
2093 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything

2096 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
2098 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
2099 of packaged libraries (!951)

2559 ==================================
2561 * Autotools support is gone. (!580)
2563 * g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;

2572 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
2573 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2574 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2575 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
2577 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
2579 * Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be
2580 used for flatpaks. (!450)

2643 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2644 ==================================
2646 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2647 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2648 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2649 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2651 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2652 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2654 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2656 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2658 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2660 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2661 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2662 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2663 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2665 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2666 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2668 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2669 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2670 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2672 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2674 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2675 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2678 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2679 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2681 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2682 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2683 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2685 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2686 portal backends. (!317)
2688 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2691 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2693 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2696 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2698 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2701 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2702 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2703 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2705 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2706 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2708 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2709 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2710 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2711 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2713 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2715 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2924 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2925 ==================================
2927 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2928 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2929 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2930 with Meson or autotools. See:
2931 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2933 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2935 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2936 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2938 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2940 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2942 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2943 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2944 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2945 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2948 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2949 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2950 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2951 !265 Network monitor again
2952 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2953 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2954 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2955 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2956 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2957 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2959 * Translation updates:
2969 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2970 ==================================
2972 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2973 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2974 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2975 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2977 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2979 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2981 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2983 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2985 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2986 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2988 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2990 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2991 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2992 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2995 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2997 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.

4172 ==================================
4174 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
4175 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
4176 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
4177 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
4179 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
4180 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
4181 uses prctl() but the pthread api.

4353 is unavailable or undesired.
4355 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

4410 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
4411 ==================================
4413 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
4414 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
4415 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
4416 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
4418 This release corrects only this problem.
4420 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
4421 ==================================
4423 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
4424 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
4425 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
4427 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4516 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4517 ==================================
4519 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4520 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4521 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4522 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4523 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4526 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4527 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4528 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4529 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4530 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4531 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4532 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4788 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4789 ==================================
4791 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4792 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4793 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4794 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4795 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4796 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4798 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4799 have seen major improvements.
4801 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4802 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4803 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4806 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4808 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4810 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4812 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4813 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4814 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4815 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4816 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4817 you use the --strict option.
4819 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4820 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4821 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4823 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4825 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4826 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4827 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4872 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
4873 ===================================
4875 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4876 before the release of 2.44.0.
4878 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4880 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4881 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4882 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4883 default in the next cycle.
4885 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4887 * new GTask:completed property
4889 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4890 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

4930 ===================================
4932 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4933 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4934 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4936 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4937 effective busy state.
4939 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

5361 Overview of changes in GLib 2.41.0
5362 ===================================
5364 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
5365 and NULL pointer dereferences.
5367 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
5368 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
5370 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
5371 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
5373 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
5374 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
5376 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
5378 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
5379 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
5381 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
5382 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
5383 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
5385 * ... and many other bug fixes.

5444 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
5445 =====================================================
5447 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
5449 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
5450 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
5451 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
5452 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
5453 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
5454 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
5455 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
5456 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
5457 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
5458 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
5459 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
5461 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
5462 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
5464 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
5468 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

5487 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
5488 =====================================================
5490 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
5491 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
5492 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
5493 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
5494 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
5495 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
5497 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

5750 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5751 ====================================================
5753 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5755 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5757 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5758 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5761 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5762 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5765 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5767 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5769 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5772 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5773 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5775 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5777 * Applications/Actions
5779 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5780 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5783 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5784 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5786 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5787 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5788 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5789 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5793 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5794 accesses that are performed in common situations
5796 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5797 are installed/removed
5799 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5800 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5802 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5803 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5808 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5810 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5811 that test programs don't pick them up
5813 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5815 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5816 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5817 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5818 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5820 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5821 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5823 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5824 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5825 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5829 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5831 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5833 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

5885 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5886 ====================================================
5888 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5892 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5894 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5895 them can restart the application with an action (via
5900 - new API for launching subprocesses
5902 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5904 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5906 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5907 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5909 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5911 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5913 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5914 actions and listing apps and actions
5916 - bash tab completion is supported
5918 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5920 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5921 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5923 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5924 DBusActivatable=true
5926 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5927 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5932 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5934 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5935 class and inotify backend
5937 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5938 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5940 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5945 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5946 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5947 when there are invalid schemas installed
5949 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5953 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5954 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5956 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5959 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5960 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5961 semantics of the interface in each case
5963 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5964 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5966 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5968 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5969 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5970 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5971 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5975 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5978 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5980 * Portability improvements
5982 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5984 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5985 actually support it (like Hurd)
5987 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5989 * Other small API changes/additions
5991 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5992 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5993 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5995 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5997 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5998 G_LOG_ERROR messages
6000 * GMainContext/GSource
6002 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
6004 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
6005 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
6006 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
6007 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
6008 broken and should probably be fixed.
6010 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
6011 require use of a linked list
6015 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
6016 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
6017 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
6019 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
6023 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
6024 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
6025 gphoto, archive, at least).
6027 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
6029 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
6032 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
6033 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
6034 (which shared exactly the same bug)
6036 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
6038 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
6040 * Many documentation improvements
6043 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
6044 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
6045 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

6098 What's new in Glib 2.38
6099 ========================
6101 * Application support
6103 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
6104 desktop entry specification
6106 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
6107 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
6108 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
6110 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
6111 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
6112 to launch other applications
6114 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
6115 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
6119 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
6120 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
6121 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
6122 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
6123 any problems that this may have caused.
6125 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
6126 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
6127 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
6128 (allowing memory savings)
6130 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
6131 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
6132 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
6134 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
6135 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
6138 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
6139 without destroying one of the objects involved
6143 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
6144 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
6145 with a finite number of cases
6147 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
6148 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
6150 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
6151 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
6152 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
6153 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
6156 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
6160 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
6161 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
6162 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
6164 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
6166 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
6167 and an API to check them
6169 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
6170 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
6172 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
6173 with most functions, but this is not recommended
6177 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
6178 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
6179 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
6182 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
6183 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
6184 particular directory (akin to 'du').
6186 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
6191 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
6192 allow for regexp matching on streams
6194 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
6195 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
6196 g_variant_new_printf()
6200 - we can now generate TAP output
6202 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
6203 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
6205 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
6210 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

6332 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
6333 ==============================================
6335 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
6336 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
6337 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
6338 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
6340 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
6341 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
6344 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
6346 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
6347 the key was locked down)

6520 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
6521 ==============================================
6523 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6524 and a parser API for them is now provided
6526 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6527 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6528 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

6588 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6589 ==============================================
6591 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6592 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6593 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6594 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6595 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6596 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6597 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6598 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6599 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6601 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6602 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6603 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6604 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6605 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6607 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6608 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6609 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6610 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6611 anyone was using it.
6613 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6615 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6616 the destination file
6618 - fix some 'available since' annotations
6620 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
6623 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

6642 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6643 ==============================================
6645 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6646 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6647 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6648 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

6702 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6703 ==============================================
6705 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6706 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6707 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6708 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6709 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
6713 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
6714 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

6718 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

6737 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
6738 ==============================================
6740 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
6742 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
6743 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
6745 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
6746 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
6748 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
6761 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
6762 ==============================================
6764 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
6767 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
6768 ready at a specified monotonic time
6770 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
6772 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

6948 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6949 ==============================================
6951 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6952 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6953 causing regressions in applications.
6955 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6956 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6957 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6960 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6961 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6962 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6964 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6966 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6968 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6970 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6972 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6974 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6976 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6978 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6980 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6982 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

7032 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
7033 ==============================================
7035 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
7036 give feedback if they cause trouble:
7038 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
7039 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
7041 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
7043 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
7045 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
7047 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
7049 * GLib version macros updated
7051 * Update to Unicode 6.2
7053 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
7055 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
7057 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
7059 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
7060 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

7593 * Updated translations:
7620 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7621 ===============================================
7623 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7624 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7625 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7628 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7629 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7630 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7631 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7632 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7633 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7634 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7636 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7637 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7638 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7639 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7640 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7642 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7644 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7646 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7647 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7648 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7649 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7652 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7653 such programs to break.
7655 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7656 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7657 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7659 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7660 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7662 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7664 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7926 ==============================================
7929 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7930 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7931 to an overridden property
7932 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7933 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7935 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7936 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

7980 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7981 ==============================================
7983 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7984 moved to GtkApplication.
7986 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7987 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7988 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7989 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7991 * lots of documentation improvements
7993 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7995 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7996 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7998 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
8000 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
8002 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
8004 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
8005 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
8008 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
8009 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

8013 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
8014 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

8016 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
8017 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
8018 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
8020 * Translations updated:
8024 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
8025 ==============================================
8027 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
8028 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
8029 There have also been many related improvements to action group
8032 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
8033 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
8034 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
8037 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
8038 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
8039 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
8040 through an idle on the context.
8042 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
8043 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
8044 fixes here and there.
8046 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
8047 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
8048 API available outside GLib
8050 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

8092 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
8093 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
8095 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

8114 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
8115 =================================================
8117 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
8118 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
8120 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
8121 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
8122 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
8123 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
8124 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
8125 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
8126 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
8127 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
8128 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
8129 required (and has been deprecated)
8130 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
8131 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
8132 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
8133 without explicit initialisation.
8134 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
8135 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
8136 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
8138 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
8139 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
8140 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
8141 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
8142 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
8143 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
8144 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
8146 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
8147 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
8148 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
8149 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
8150 - GThread is now a refcounted type
8151 - other implementation details changed
8153 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
8154 deprecated/ directory.
8156 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
8157 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
8158 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
8160 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
8161 platform over a year ago).
8163 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
8164 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
8166 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
8167 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
8169 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
8170 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
8171 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
8172 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
8175 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
8176 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
8179 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
8181 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
8182 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
8184 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
8185 in a multi-threaded program
8187 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
8188 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
8191 - drop -uninstalled variants
8192 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
8194 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
8195 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
8196 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
8198 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
8200 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
8201 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
8204 - many code generation updates and improvements
8205 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
8208 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
8209 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
8211 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
8213 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
8216 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
8217 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
8219 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
8220 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
8222 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
8224 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
8228 * Partial list of bugs closed:
8229 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

8340 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
8341 ================================================
8343 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
8344 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
8345 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
8346 GObject depends on libffi now.
8349 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
8350 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
8352 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
8353 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)

8357 - fix some harmless warnings
8359 * GDateTime improvements:
8360 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
8361 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w
8362 - consult the locale for the preferred 12-hour time format (%r)
8363 - drop support for non-standard %N and broken %W
8364 - better support for formatting non-POSIX (eg: Arabic) numerals
8365 - locale-related test case fixups, and fix some leaks

8660 ==============================================
8662 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8663 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8664 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8665 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8666 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8667 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8669 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8670 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8672 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8674 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

8727 * Updated translations:
8736 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8737 ==============================================
8740 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8741 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8742 an 'object manager' pattern:
8743 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8744 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8745 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8746 And server-side implementations:
8747 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8748 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8749 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8753 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8757 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8758 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8759 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8760 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8763 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8764 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8767 * Unix-specific APIs:
8768 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8769 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8770 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8771 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8772 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8773 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8804 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8805 ==============================================
8808 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8809 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8810 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8813 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8814 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8815 situations has been improved
8818 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8819 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8822 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8823 match strcmp() semantics
8824 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8825 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8826 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8828 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8829 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8832 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8834 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8836 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8837 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8838 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

9120 ==============================================
9122 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
9123 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
9128 g_get_monotonic_time
9130 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
9133 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
9135 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

9172 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
9173 - Support environment passing
9176 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
9177 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
9179 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
9180 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
9181 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
9185 158725 free linked list with data
9186 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

9198 * Translation updates:
9204 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
9205 ==============================================
9207 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
9208 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
9210 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
9211 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
9213 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
9215 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
9217 g_settings_get_range
9218 g_settings_range_check
9219 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
9221 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
9222 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
9224 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
9225 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
9227 g_main_context_invoke
9228 g_main_context_invoke_full
9230 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
9231 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
9232 looking for default applications.
9234 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
9235 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
9236 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
9237 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
9239 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
9240 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
9241 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

9503 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
9504 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
9505 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
9508 There have been many other improvements, however:
9511 - vastly improved test coverage
9512 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
9513 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
9514 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
9517 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
9520 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
9521 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
9522 - improve debug output, add some extra options
9523 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
9525 - sort property names correctly
9526 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
9528 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
9531 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
9532 without mapping functions
9533 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
9536 - improve closure support for bindings

9563 =====================================================
9565 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9566 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
9567 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
9568 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
9569 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9570 | required (and will be along soon). |
9571 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9574 - cleanup automake setup
9575 - rename configure.in to configure.ac

9631 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
9632 =====================================================
9634 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9635 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9636 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9637 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9638 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9641 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9642 -Bsymbolic-functions
9643 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9644 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9645 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9646 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9647 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9650 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9651 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9652 nobody was doing that.
9653 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9655 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9656 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9658 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9659 have a serial number
9660 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9662 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9664 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9665 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9666 has finished running on GDBus services.
9667 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9668 this due to the obvious race)
9669 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9670 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9673 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9674 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9675 arguments and different behaviour
9676 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9677 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9678 strings instead of utf8 strings
9679 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9680 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9681 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9682 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9683 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9684 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9685 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9686 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9687 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9690 - improved documentation
9691 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9692 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9693 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9694 overridden using <override>.
9695 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9697 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9698 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9699 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9700 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9701 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9702 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9703 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9704 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9705 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9706 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9707 being set due to a premature free
9708 - command line tool: bash completion support
9709 - chain up in _finalize
9710 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9712 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9713 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9714 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9716 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9717 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9718 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9719 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9720 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9724 - always intern GBinding prop names
9725 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9726 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9727 - GNode docs improvements
9728 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9729 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation

9734 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9735 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9736 - improved tests for GKeyfile
9737 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9738 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9739 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9740 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9741 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9743 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9744 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9745 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9746 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9747 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9748 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9749 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9750 610784 array test failing
9751 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

9769 623538 GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed emission for corner cases
9770 623692 directory with file at multiple MLS levels may display empty

10150 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
10151 ===================================================
10153 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
10154 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
10155 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
10156 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
10157 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

10169 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
10170 ===================================================
10172 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
10173 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
10174 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
10175 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
10177 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10178 when g_type_init() is called.
10180 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
10181 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
10182 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
10184 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
10185 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
10186 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
10187 is a bug in application code.

10248 overflow-safe family of g_new() macros.
10251 - GVariantBuilder and GVariantIter are now merged.
10252 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
10253 - The parser will be in a future release.
10256 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
10257 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
10258 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

10359 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
10361 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
10363 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
10364 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
10365 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
10367 * Threading changes:
10368 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
10369 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
10371 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
10372 when g_type_init() is called.

10451 ===================================================
10454 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
10455 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
10456 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
10457 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
10458 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10459 while loading or saving it.
10460 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
10461 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
10462 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
10465 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
10466 interfaces to dynamic types.
10469 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
10470 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

10783 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.21.0 to GLib 2.21.1
10784 ===================================================
10787 - Support for network IO has been added, including a low-level
10788 socket API and a high-level API for network connections and
10790 - Support for read-write access with GIOStream and its subclasses.
10791 - GMount gained a pre-unmount signal.

10824 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.20.x to GLib 2.21.0
10825 ===================================================
10828 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
10829 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
10831 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
10832 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
10833 for actual socket I/O.
10834 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
10835 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
10837 * Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double
10838 types, suitable for use with GHashTable.
10840 * GArray, GPtrArray and GByteArray can be ref counted now, and have

10910 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.19.9 to GLib 2.20.0
10911 ===================================================
10913 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10914 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10915 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10916 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10917 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10918 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10919 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10920 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10921 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10922 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10923 object with the given URI.
10925 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316
10928 574019 GChecksum: document and guarantee hex characters in lower case
10929 573454 Unable copy/move files to directories symlinked to gvfs share

10958 the destination of a copying operation as if it did not exit before.
10959 - Be more careful when classifying files as desktop files

11206 ===================================================
11208 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
11209 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
11210 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
11211 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
11212 also uses less memory overall.
11214 * Make g_poll available as public api
11216 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
11217 that a GError is set or unset
11219 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
11221 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
11222 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
11224 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

11302 ===================================================
11304 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
11305 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
11306 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
11307 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
11308 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
11309 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12630 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.10.0 to GLib 2.10.1
12631 ===================================================
12634 314794 Broken pthread detection on Darwin [Gregor Riepl]
12635 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
12636 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
12638 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
12641 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12642 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12644 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12647 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12648 ==================================================
12650 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12651 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12652 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12653 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12655 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12656 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12658 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12659 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12662 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12663 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12664 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12665 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12666 support ELF visibility attributes.
12668 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12669 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12671 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12672 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12673 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12674 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12675 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12676 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12677 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12678 to help with the transition.

12713 * Memory management:
12714 Runtime debugging support: The slice allocator
12715 can be turned off by setting G_SLICE=always-malloc
12716 in the environment. Zeroing of freed memory can
12717 now be turned on at runtime by setting

12754 * Change g_filename_display_name and
12755 g_filename_display_basename to use the Unicode

12835 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
12836 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12837 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12840 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]

12879 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12880 =================================================
12882 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12883 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12884 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12886 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12887 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12890 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12891 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12892 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12893 "stutter stepping".
12894 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12896 * Memory management:
12897 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12898 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12899 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12900 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12901 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12902 never worked as intended.
12903 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12904 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12905 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12906 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12907 efficient and scalable implementation.
12908 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12910 * Pattern matching:
12911 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12912 unnecessary recursion.
12915 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12916 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12917 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12920 * g_thread_foreach:
12921 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12924 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12925 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12926 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12930 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12931 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12932 since they are in glib.h

12953 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
12954 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

13111 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
13112 =================================================
13114 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
13115 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
13116 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
13117 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
13118 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
13119 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
13120 included through <glib.h>.
13122 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
13123 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
13124 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
13125 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
13126 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
13128 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
13129 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
13130 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
13131 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
13132 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
13134 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
13135 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
13136 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
13137 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
13139 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
13140 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
13141 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
13143 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
13144 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
13145 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
13146 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
13147 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
13148 header files and were never intended to be exported.
13150 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
13151 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
13152 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
13153 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
13155 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
13156 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
13157 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
13158 stderr if you need to see them.
13160 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
13161 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
13162 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
13163 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
13164 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
13165 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
13167 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
13168 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
13169 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
13170 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
13171 work with future versions of GLib.
13174 - GOption, a commandline option parser
13175 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
13176 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
13177 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
13178 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
13180 * Miscellaneous new functions
13181 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
13182 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
13183 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
13184 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
13185 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
13186 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
13187 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
13188 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
13189 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
13190 - g_debug() completes the family of logging functions
13192 * Performance improvements

13197 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
13200 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
13201 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
13202 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
13203 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
13204 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
