669 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
670 ==================================
672 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
673 which makes error checking easier (#553)
675 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
676 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
677 variables, or mostly anything else (see
678 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)

689 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
691 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
692 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
693 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
694 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
695 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
696 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1827 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
1828 - `g_array_binary_search()`
1830 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
1832 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
1833 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1834 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1836 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1837 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1839 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1840 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1842 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1843 third-party code should now be using
1844 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
1846 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
1848 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
1850 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
1853 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
1855 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
1856 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
1858 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1860 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1862 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1863 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1865 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1867 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1868 of packaged libraries (!951)
1870 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

2029 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
2030 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

2341 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
2342 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2343 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2344 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

2412 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2413 ==================================
2415 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2416 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2417 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2418 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2420 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2421 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2423 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2425 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2427 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2429 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2430 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2431 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2432 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2434 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2435 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2437 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2438 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2439 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2441 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2443 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2444 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2447 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2448 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2450 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2451 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2452 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2454 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2455 portal backends. (!317)
2457 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2460 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2462 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2465 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2467 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2470 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2471 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2472 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2474 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2475 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2477 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2478 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2479 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2480 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2482 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2484 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2693 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2694 ==================================
2696 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2697 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2698 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2699 with Meson or autotools. See:
2700 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2702 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2704 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2705 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2707 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2709 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2711 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2712 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2713 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2714 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2717 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2718 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2719 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2720 !265 Network monitor again
2721 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2722 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2723 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2724 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2725 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2726 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2728 * Translation updates:
2738 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2739 ==================================
2741 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2742 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2743 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2744 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2746 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2748 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2750 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2752 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2754 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2755 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2757 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2759 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2760 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2761 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2764 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2766 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2769 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2770 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2771 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
2772 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
2773 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback
2774 #972 Mismatch between gint64 and int64_t on 64-bit macOS/BSD

3941 ==================================
3943 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3944 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3945 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3946 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
3948 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
3949 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3950 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3952 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3953 environment variable.
3955 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3956 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

4179 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
4180 ==================================
4182 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
4183 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
4184 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
4185 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
4187 This release corrects only this problem.
4189 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
4190 ==================================
4192 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
4193 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
4194 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
4196 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4285 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4286 ==================================
4288 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4289 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4290 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4291 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4292 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4295 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4296 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4297 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4298 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4299 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4300 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4301 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4557 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4558 ==================================
4560 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4561 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4562 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4563 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4564 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4565 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4567 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4568 have seen major improvements.
4570 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4571 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4572 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4575 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4577 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4579 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4581 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4582 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4583 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4584 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4585 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4586 you use the --strict option.
4588 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4589 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4590 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4592 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4594 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4595 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4596 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4645 before the release of 2.44.0.
4647 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4649 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4650 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4651 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4652 default in the next cycle.

5213 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
5214 =====================================================
5216 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
5218 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
5219 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
5220 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
5221 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
5222 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
5223 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
5224 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
5225 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
5226 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
5227 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
5228 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
5230 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
5231 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
5233 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
5237 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

5256 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
5257 =====================================================
5259 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
5260 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
5261 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
5262 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
5263 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
5264 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
5266 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

5512 * Translations updates:
5519 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5520 ====================================================
5522 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5524 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5526 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5527 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5530 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5531 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5534 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5536 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5538 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5541 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5542 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5544 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5546 * Applications/Actions
5548 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5549 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5552 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5553 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5555 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5556 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5557 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5558 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5562 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5563 accesses that are performed in common situations
5565 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5566 are installed/removed
5568 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5569 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5571 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5572 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5577 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5579 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5580 that test programs don't pick them up
5582 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5584 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5585 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5586 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5587 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5589 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5590 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5592 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5593 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5594 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5598 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5600 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5602 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5604 Translations updated:

5620 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

5622 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
5623 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
5624 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

5654 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5655 ====================================================
5657 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5661 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5663 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5664 them can restart the application with an action (via
5669 - new API for launching subprocesses
5671 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5673 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5675 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5676 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5678 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5680 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5682 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5683 actions and listing apps and actions
5685 - bash tab completion is supported
5687 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5689 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5690 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5692 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5693 DBusActivatable=true
5695 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5696 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5701 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5703 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5704 class and inotify backend
5706 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5707 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5709 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5714 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5715 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5716 when there are invalid schemas installed
5718 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5722 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5723 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5725 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5728 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5729 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5730 semantics of the interface in each case
5732 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5733 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5735 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5737 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5738 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5739 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5740 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5744 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5747 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5749 * Portability improvements
5751 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5753 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5754 actually support it (like Hurd)
5756 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5758 * Other small API changes/additions
5760 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5761 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5762 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5764 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5766 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5767 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5769 * GMainContext/GSource
5771 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5773 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5774 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5775 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5776 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5777 broken and should probably be fixed.
5779 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5780 require use of a linked list
5784 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5785 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5786 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5788 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5792 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5793 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5794 gphoto, archive, at least).
5796 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5798 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5801 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5802 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5803 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5805 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5807 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5809 * Many documentation improvements
5812 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
5813 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
5814 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

5867 What's new in Glib 2.38
5868 ========================
5870 * Application support
5872 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5873 desktop entry specification
5875 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5876 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5877 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5879 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5880 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5881 to launch other applications
5883 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5884 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5888 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5889 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5890 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5891 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5892 any problems that this may have caused.
5894 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5895 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5896 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5897 (allowing memory savings)
5899 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5900 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5901 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5903 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5904 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5907 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5908 without destroying one of the objects involved
5912 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5913 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5914 with a finite number of cases
5916 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5917 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5919 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5920 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5921 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5922 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5925 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5929 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5930 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5931 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5933 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5935 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5936 and an API to check them
5938 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5939 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5941 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5942 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5946 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5947 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5948 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5951 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5952 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5953 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5955 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5960 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5961 allow for regexp matching on streams
5963 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5964 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5965 g_variant_new_printf()
5969 - we can now generate TAP output
5971 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5972 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5974 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5979 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

6104 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
6105 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
6106 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
6107 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

6178 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
6179 build the unmodified source
6181 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
6183 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
6184 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
6185 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
6192 698375 - D-Bus async properties

6198 ==============================================
6200 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
6201 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
6203 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
6204 and will trigger a warning.

6241 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
6242 ==============================================
6244 * add support for installed tests:
6245 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
6247 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
6248 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
6250 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
6252 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
6254 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
6255 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
6256 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
6258 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

6289 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
6290 ==============================================
6292 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6293 and a parser API for them is now provided
6295 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6296 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6297 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

6357 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6358 ==============================================
6360 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6361 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6362 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6363 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6364 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6365 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6366 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6367 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6368 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6370 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6371 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6372 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6373 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6374 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6376 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6377 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6378 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6379 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6380 anyone was using it.
6382 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6384 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6385 the destination file
6387 - fix some 'available since' annotations

6392 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

6411 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6412 ==============================================
6414 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6415 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6416 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6417 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

6471 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6472 ==============================================
6474 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6475 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6476 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6477 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6478 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
6482 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
6483 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
6485 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
6486 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
6487 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
6488 * documentation fixes
6489 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
6492 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

6506 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
6507 ==============================================
6509 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
6511 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
6512 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
6514 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
6515 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
6517 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
6530 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
6531 ==============================================
6533 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
6536 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
6537 ready at a specified monotonic time
6539 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
6541 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

6643 * Translation updates:
6658 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6659 ==============================================
6661 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6662 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6663 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6664 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6665 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6667 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6668 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6669 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6670 particular, are incompatible.
6672 * Bugs fixed in this release:
6673 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
6674 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

6717 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6718 ==============================================
6720 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6721 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6722 causing regressions in applications.
6724 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6725 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6726 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6729 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6730 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6731 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6733 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6735 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6737 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6739 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6741 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6743 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6745 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6747 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6749 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6751 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6801 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
6802 ==============================================
6804 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6805 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6807 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6808 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6810 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6812 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
6814 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
6816 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed

7362 * Updated translations:
7389 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7390 ===============================================
7392 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7393 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7394 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7397 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7398 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7399 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7400 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7401 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7402 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7403 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7405 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7406 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7407 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7408 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7409 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7411 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7413 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7415 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7416 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7417 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7418 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7421 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7422 such programs to break.
7424 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7425 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7426 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7428 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7429 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7431 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7433 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7698 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7699 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7700 to an overridden property
7701 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7702 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7704 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:

7749 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7750 ==============================================
7752 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7753 moved to GtkApplication.
7755 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7756 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7757 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7758 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7760 * lots of documentation improvements
7762 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7764 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7765 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)

7789 * Translations updated:
7793 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7794 ==============================================
7796 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7797 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7798 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7801 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7802 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7803 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7806 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7807 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7808 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7809 through an idle on the context.
7811 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7812 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7813 fixes here and there.
7815 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7816 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7817 API available outside GLib
7819 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7856 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
7858 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
7860 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7861 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7862 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7864 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7867 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7868 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
7869 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
7872 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

7883 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7884 =================================================
7886 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7887 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7889 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7890 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7891 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7892 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7893 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7894 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7895 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7896 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7897 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7898 required (and has been deprecated)
7899 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7900 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7901 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7902 without explicit initialisation.
7903 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7904 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7905 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7907 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7908 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7909 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7910 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7911 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7912 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7913 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7915 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7916 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7917 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7918 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7919 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7920 - other implementation details changed
7922 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7923 deprecated/ directory.
7925 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7926 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7927 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7929 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7930 platform over a year ago).
7932 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7933 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7935 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7936 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7938 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7939 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7940 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7941 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7944 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7945 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7948 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7950 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7951 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7953 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7954 in a multi-threaded program
7956 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7957 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7960 - drop -uninstalled variants
7961 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7963 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7964 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7965 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7967 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7969 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7970 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7973 - many code generation updates and improvements
7974 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7977 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7978 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7980 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7982 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7985 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7986 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7988 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7989 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7991 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7993 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7997 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7998 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

8109 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
8110 ================================================
8112 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
8113 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().

8428 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
8429 ==============================================
8431 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8432 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8433 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8434 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8435 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8436 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8438 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8439 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8441 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8443 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
8445 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

8496 * Updated translations:
8505 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8506 ==============================================
8509 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8510 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8511 an 'object manager' pattern:
8512 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8513 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8514 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8515 And server-side implementations:
8516 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8517 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8518 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8522 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8526 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8527 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8528 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8529 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8532 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8533 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8536 * Unix-specific APIs:
8537 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8538 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8539 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8540 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8541 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8542 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8566 * Updated translations
8573 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8574 ==============================================
8577 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8578 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8579 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8582 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8583 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8584 situations has been improved
8587 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8588 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8591 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8592 match strcmp() semantics
8593 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8594 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8595 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8597 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8598 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8601 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8603 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8605 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8606 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8607 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8937 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8938 ==============================================
8941 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8942 - Support environment passing
8945 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8946 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8948 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8949 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8950 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8954 158725 free linked list with data
8955 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8956 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
8957 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
8958 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
8959 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
8960 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
8961 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option

8964 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
8965 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
8967 * Translation updates:
8973 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8974 ==============================================
8976 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8977 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8979 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8980 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8982 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8984 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8986 g_settings_get_range
8987 g_settings_range_check
8988 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8990 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8991 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8993 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8994 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8996 g_main_context_invoke
8997 g_main_context_invoke_full
8999 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
9000 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
9001 looking for default applications.
9003 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
9004 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
9005 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
9006 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
9008 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
9009 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
9010 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

9265 =====================================================
9267 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9268 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
9269 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9271 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
9272 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
9273 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
9274 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
9277 There have been many other improvements, however:
9280 - vastly improved test coverage
9281 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
9282 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
9283 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

9332 =====================================================
9334 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9335 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
9336 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
9337 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
9338 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9339 | required (and will be along soon). |
9340 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9343 - cleanup automake setup
9344 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
9345 - various docs fixups

9363 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
9364 - constness fixes for introspection structures
9365 - clean ups to subtree registration API

9400 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
9401 =====================================================
9403 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9404 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9405 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9406 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9407 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9410 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9411 -Bsymbolic-functions
9412 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9413 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9414 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9415 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9416 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9419 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9420 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9421 nobody was doing that.
9422 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9424 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9425 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9427 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9428 have a serial number
9429 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9431 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9433 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9434 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9435 has finished running on GDBus services.
9436 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9437 this due to the obvious race)
9438 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9439 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9442 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9443 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9444 arguments and different behaviour
9445 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9446 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9447 strings instead of utf8 strings
9448 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9449 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9450 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9451 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9452 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9453 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9454 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9455 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9456 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9459 - improved documentation
9460 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9461 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9462 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9463 overridden using <override>.
9464 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9466 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9467 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9468 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9469 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9470 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9471 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9472 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9473 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9474 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9475 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9476 being set due to a premature free
9477 - command line tool: bash completion support
9478 - chain up in _finalize
9479 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9481 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9482 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9483 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9485 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9486 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9487 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9488 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9489 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9493 - always intern GBinding prop names
9494 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9495 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9496 - GNode docs improvements
9497 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9498 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9499 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
9503 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9504 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9505 - improved tests for GKeyfile
9506 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9507 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9508 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9509 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9510 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9512 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9513 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9514 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9515 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9516 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9517 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9518 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9519 610784 array test failing
9520 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9521 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
9522 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
9523 622124 implement flags
9524 622127 GSettings extended key validation

9919 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9920 ===================================================
9922 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9923 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9924 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9925 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9926 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
9928 * Translation updates:
9938 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9939 ===================================================
9941 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9942 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9943 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9944 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9946 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9947 when g_type_init() is called.
9949 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9950 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9951 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9953 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9954 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9955 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9956 is a bug in application code.

10022 - The parser will be in a future release.
10025 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)
10026 for now since it doesn't satisfy the needs of its main intended use
10027 case. We hope to reimplement this feature in a better form in a

10128 * We are now using gcc builtins for atomic operations when available
10130 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
10132 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
10133 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
10134 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
10136 * Threading changes:
10137 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
10138 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first

10186 - Construction of simple objects is much faster
10187 - Interface lookup is lock-free and constant-time now
10188 - Reduced locking overhead when dealing with types
10190 * GType now has a G_DEFINE_INTERFACE convenience macro

10220 ===================================================
10223 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
10224 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
10225 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
10226 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
10227 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
10228 while loading or saving it.
10229 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
10230 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
10231 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
10234 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
10235 interfaces to dynamic types.
10238 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
10239 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
10240 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10602 for actual socket I/O.
10603 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
10604 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
10606 * Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double
10607 types, suitable for use with GHashTable.

10680 ===================================================
10682 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10683 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10684 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10685 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10686 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10687 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10688 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10689 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10690 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10691 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10692 object with the given URI.
10694 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316

10974 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10975 ===================================================
10977 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10978 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10979 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10980 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10981 also uses less memory overall.
10983 * Make g_poll available as public api
10985 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10986 that a GError is set or unset
10988 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10990 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10991 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10993 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10994 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11070 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.7 to GLib 2.18.0
11071 ===================================================
11073 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
11074 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
11075 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
11076 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
11077 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
11078 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12400 ===================================================

12404 322476 Missing check for .dylib [Vladimir Panov]
12405 333651 Inconsistent _g_charset_get_aliases prototype [Julio
12407 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
12410 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
12411 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12413 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12416 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12417 ==================================================
12419 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12420 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12421 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12422 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12424 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12425 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12427 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12428 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12431 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12432 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12433 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12434 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12435 support ELF visibility attributes.
12437 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12438 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12440 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12441 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12442 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12443 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12444 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12445 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12446 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12447 to help with the transition.

12605 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12606 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12609 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12612 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12613 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12614 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12615 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12616 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12617 variants [Martyn Russell]
12620 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12621 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
12624 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12627 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12628 constants [Andrew Paprocki]

12630 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12631 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12632 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12633 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

12648 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12649 =================================================
12651 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12652 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12653 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12655 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12656 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12659 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12660 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12661 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12662 "stutter stepping".
12663 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12665 * Memory management:
12666 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12667 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12668 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12669 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12670 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12671 never worked as intended.
12672 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12673 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12674 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12675 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12676 efficient and scalable implementation.
12677 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12679 * Pattern matching:
12680 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12681 unnecessary recursion.
12684 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12685 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12686 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12689 * g_thread_foreach:
12690 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12693 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12694 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12695 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12699 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12700 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12701 since they are in glib.h

12880 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12881 =================================================
12883 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12884 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12885 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12886 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12887 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12888 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12889 included through <glib.h>.
12891 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12892 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12893 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12894 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12895 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12897 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12898 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12899 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12900 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12901 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12903 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12904 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12905 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12906 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12908 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12909 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12910 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12912 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12913 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12914 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12915 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12916 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12917 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12919 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12920 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12921 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12922 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12924 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12925 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12926 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12927 stderr if you need to see them.
12929 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12930 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12931 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12932 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12933 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12934 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12936 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12937 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12938 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12939 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12940 work with future versions of GLib.
12943 - GOption, a commandline option parser
12944 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
12945 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
12946 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
12947 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
12949 * Miscellaneous new functions
12950 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
12951 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
12952 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers

12955 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
12956 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
12957 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported

12966 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
12969 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
12970 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
12971 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
12972 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
12973 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
12974 - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols
