986 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
987 ==================================
989 * Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
991 - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
992 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
993 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
994 - `g_array_binary_search()`
996 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
998 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
999 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1000 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1002 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1003 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1005 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1006 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1008 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1009 third-party code should now be using
1010 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
1012 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
1014 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
1016 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
1019 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
1021 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
1022 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
1024 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1026 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1028 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1029 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1031 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1033 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1034 of packaged libraries (!951)
1036 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1195 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
1196 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

1508 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1509 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1510 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

1578 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1579 ==================================
1581 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1582 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1583 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1584 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1586 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1587 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1589 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1591 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1593 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1595 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1596 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1597 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1598 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1600 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1601 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1603 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1604 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1605 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1607 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1609 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1610 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1613 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1614 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1616 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1617 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1618 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1620 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1621 portal backends. (!317)
1623 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1626 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1628 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1631 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1633 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1636 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1637 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1638 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1640 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1641 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1643 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1644 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1645 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1646 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1648 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1650 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1859 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1860 ==================================
1862 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1863 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1864 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1865 with Meson or autotools. See:
1866 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1868 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1870 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1871 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1873 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1875 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1877 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1878 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1879 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1880 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1883 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1884 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1885 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1886 !265 Network monitor again
1887 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1888 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1889 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1890 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1891 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1892 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1894 * Translation updates:
1904 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1905 ==================================
1907 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1908 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1909 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1910 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1912 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1914 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1916 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1918 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1920 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1921 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1923 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1925 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1926 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1927 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1930 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1932 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1935 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1936 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
1937 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

3115 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer

3119 environment variable.

3341 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3342 ==================================
3344 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3345 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3346 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3347 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3349 This release corrects only this problem.
3351 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3352 ==================================
3354 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3355 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3356 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3358 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3704 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3705 ==================================
3707 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3708 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3709 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3710 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3711 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3712 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3714 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3715 have seen major improvements.
3717 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3718 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3719 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3722 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3724 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3726 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3728 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3729 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3730 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3731 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3732 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3733 you use the --strict option.
3735 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3736 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3737 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3739 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3741 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3742 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3743 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3789 ===================================
3791 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3792 before the release of 2.44.0.
3794 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3796 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3797 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3798 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3799 default in the next cycle.
3801 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

3846 ===================================
3848 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3849 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3850 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3852 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3853 effective busy state.
3855 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

3902 ==================================
3904 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
3905 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
3906 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.

4391 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4392 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4393 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4394 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4395 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4396 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4398 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

4644 * Translations updates:
4651 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4652 ====================================================
4654 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4656 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4658 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4659 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4662 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4663 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4666 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4668 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4670 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4673 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4674 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4676 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4678 * Applications/Actions
4680 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4681 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4684 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4685 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4687 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4688 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4689 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4690 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4694 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4695 accesses that are performed in common situations
4697 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4698 are installed/removed
4700 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4701 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4703 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4704 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4709 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4711 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4712 that test programs don't pick them up
4714 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4716 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4717 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4718 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4719 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4721 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4722 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4724 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4725 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4726 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4730 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4732 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4734 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4736 Translations updated:
4744 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

4748 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
4749 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key

4752 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

4754 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
4755 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
4756 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

4786 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
4787 ====================================================
4789 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4793 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4795 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4796 them can restart the application with an action (via
4801 - new API for launching subprocesses
4803 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4805 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4807 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4808 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4810 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4812 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4814 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4815 actions and listing apps and actions
4817 - bash tab completion is supported
4819 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4821 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4822 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4824 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4825 DBusActivatable=true
4827 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4828 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4833 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4835 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4836 class and inotify backend
4838 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4839 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4841 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4846 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4847 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4848 when there are invalid schemas installed
4850 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4854 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4855 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4857 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4860 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4861 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4862 semantics of the interface in each case
4864 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4865 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4867 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4869 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4870 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4871 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4872 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4876 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4879 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4881 * Portability improvements
4883 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4885 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4886 actually support it (like Hurd)
4888 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4890 * Other small API changes/additions
4892 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4893 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4894 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4896 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4898 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4899 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4901 * GMainContext/GSource
4903 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4905 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4906 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4907 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4908 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4909 broken and should probably be fixed.
4911 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4912 require use of a linked list
4916 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4917 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4918 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4920 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4924 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4925 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4926 gphoto, archive, at least).
4928 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4930 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4933 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4934 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4935 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4937 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4939 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4941 * Many documentation improvements
4944 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4945 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4946 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

4999 What's new in Glib 2.38
5000 ========================
5002 * Application support
5004 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5005 desktop entry specification
5007 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5008 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5009 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5011 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5012 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5013 to launch other applications
5015 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5016 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5020 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5021 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5022 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5023 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5024 any problems that this may have caused.
5026 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5027 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5028 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5029 (allowing memory savings)
5031 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5032 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5033 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5035 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5036 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5039 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5040 without destroying one of the objects involved
5044 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5045 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5046 with a finite number of cases
5048 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5049 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5051 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5052 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5053 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5054 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5057 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5061 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5062 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5063 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5065 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5067 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5068 and an API to check them
5070 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5071 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5073 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5074 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5078 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5079 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5080 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5083 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5084 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5085 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5087 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5092 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5093 allow for regexp matching on streams
5095 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5096 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5097 g_variant_new_printf()
5101 - we can now generate TAP output
5103 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5104 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5106 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5111 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5237 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5238 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5239 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

5333 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5335 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5336 and will trigger a warning.

5380 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5382 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5384 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5386 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

5421 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
5422 ==============================================
5424 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5425 and a parser API for them is now provided
5427 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5428 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5429 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5521 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
5522 ==============================================
5524 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5525 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5526 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5527 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5581 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5582 ==============================================
5584 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5585 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5586 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5587 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5588 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5592 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5593 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5595 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
5596 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
5597 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
5598 * documentation fixes
5599 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
5602 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

5616 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
5617 ==============================================
5619 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5621 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5622 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5624 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5625 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5627 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5640 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5641 ==============================================
5643 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5646 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5647 ready at a specified monotonic time
5649 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5651 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
5654 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
5655 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

5753 * Translation updates:
5768 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5769 ==============================================
5771 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5772 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5773 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5774 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5775 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5777 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5778 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5779 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5780 particular, are incompatible.
5782 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5827 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5828 ==============================================
5830 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5831 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5832 causing regressions in applications.
5834 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5835 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5836 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5839 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5840 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5841 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5843 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5845 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5847 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5849 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5851 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5853 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5855 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5857 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5859 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5861 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5911 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
5912 ==============================================
5914 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5915 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5917 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5918 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5920 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5922 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
5924 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
5926 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
5928 * GLib version macros updated
5930 * Update to Unicode 6.2

6280 Overview of changes from GLib 2.33.2 to 2.33.3
6281 ==============================================
6283 This release contains mostly bugfixes, cleanups and performance
6284 improvements (including many fixes contributed by Colin on the advice of
6285 Coverity). There are a few notable externally-visible changes:
6287 * Thumbnails are now in XDG_CACHE_HOME

6758 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6759 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6760 to an overridden property
6761 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6762 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6764 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6765 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

6810 ==============================================
6812 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6813 moved to GtkApplication.
6815 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6816 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6817 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6818 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6820 * lots of documentation improvements
6822 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6824 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6825 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6827 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6829 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6831 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6833 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6834 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6837 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6838 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

6842 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6843 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

6847 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
6849 * Translations updated:
6853 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6854 ==============================================
6856 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6857 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6858 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6861 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6862 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6863 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6866 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6867 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6868 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6869 through an idle on the context.
6871 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6872 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6873 fixes here and there.
6875 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6876 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6877 API available outside GLib
6879 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6913 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
6914 ==============================================
6916 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
6918 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
6920 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6921 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6922 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6924 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6927 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6928 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6929 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6932 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
6933 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
6936 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
6939 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
6940 - various GIO file and stream fixes
6941 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
6943 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6944 =================================================
6946 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6947 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6949 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6950 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6951 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6952 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6953 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6954 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6955 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6956 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6957 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6958 required (and has been deprecated)
6959 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6960 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6961 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6962 without explicit initialisation.
6963 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6964 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6965 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6967 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6968 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6969 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6970 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6971 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6972 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6973 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6975 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6976 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6977 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6978 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6979 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6980 - other implementation details changed
6982 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6983 deprecated/ directory.
6985 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6986 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6987 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6989 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6990 platform over a year ago).
6992 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6993 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6995 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6996 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6998 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6999 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7000 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7001 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7004 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7005 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7008 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7010 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7011 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7013 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7014 in a multi-threaded program
7016 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7017 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7020 - drop -uninstalled variants
7021 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7023 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7024 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7025 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7027 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7029 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7030 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7033 - many code generation updates and improvements
7034 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7037 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7038 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7040 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7042 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7045 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7046 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7048 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7049 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7051 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7053 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7057 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7058 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7483 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
7484 ==============================================
7486 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7487 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7488 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7489 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7490 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7491 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7493 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7494 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
7496 * Access to quarks is now lockless
7498 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
7500 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding
7502 * Introspection improvements:

7551 * Updated translations:
7560 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7561 ==============================================
7564 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7565 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7566 an 'object manager' pattern:
7567 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7568 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7569 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7570 And server-side implementations:
7571 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7572 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7573 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7577 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7581 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7582 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7583 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7584 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7587 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7588 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7591 * Unix-specific APIs:
7592 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7593 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7594 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7595 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7596 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7597 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

7614 647826 API: gtester: Add g_test_fail()
7615 647903 GDesktopAppInfo: Add g_desktop_app_info_get_categories()
7616 648416 g_app_info_create_from_commandline ignores SUPPORTS_STARTUP_NOTIFICATION

7619 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
7621 * Updated translations
7628 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7629 ==============================================
7632 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7633 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7634 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7637 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7638 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7639 situations has been improved
7642 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7643 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7646 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7647 match strcmp() semantics
7648 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7649 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7650 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7652 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7653 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7656 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7658 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7660 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7661 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7662 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8031 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8033 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8035 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8037 g_settings_get_range
8038 g_settings_range_check
8039 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8041 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8042 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8044 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8045 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8047 g_main_context_invoke
8048 g_main_context_invoke_full
8050 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8051 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8052 looking for default applications.
8054 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8055 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8056 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8057 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8059 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8060 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8061 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8316 =====================================================
8318 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8319 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8320 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8322 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8323 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8324 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8325 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8328 There have been many other improvements, however:
8331 - vastly improved test coverage
8332 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8333 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8334 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
8337 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

8383 =====================================================
8385 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8386 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8387 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8388 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8389 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8390 | required (and will be along soon). |
8391 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8394 - cleanup automake setup
8395 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8396 - various docs fixups
8397 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8403 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
8404 - add g_settings_reset()
8405 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
8408 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix

8410 - proper support for file descriptor passing
8411 - new flags parameter for sending messages
8412 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
8413 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
8414 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8415 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8416 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8419 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8422 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
8423 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
8424 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
8427 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
8428 617483 Credentials passing

8451 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
8452 =====================================================
8454 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8455 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8456 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8457 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8458 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8461 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8462 -Bsymbolic-functions
8463 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8464 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8465 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8466 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
8467 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8470 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8471 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8472 nobody was doing that.
8473 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8475 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8476 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8478 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8479 have a serial number
8480 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8482 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8484 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8485 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8486 has finished running on GDBus services.
8487 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8488 this due to the obvious race)
8489 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8490 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8493 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8494 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8495 arguments and different behaviour
8496 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8497 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8498 strings instead of utf8 strings
8499 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8500 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8501 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8502 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8503 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8504 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8505 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8506 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8507 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8510 - improved documentation
8511 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8512 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8513 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8514 overridden using <override>.
8515 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8517 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8518 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8519 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8520 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8521 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8522 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8523 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8524 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8525 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8526 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8527 being set due to a premature free
8528 - command line tool: bash completion support
8529 - chain up in _finalize
8530 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8532 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8533 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8534 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8536 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8537 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8538 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8539 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8540 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8544 - always intern GBinding prop names
8545 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8546 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8547 - GNode docs improvements
8548 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8549 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8550 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8554 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8555 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8556 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8557 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8558 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8559 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8560 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8561 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8563 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8564 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
8565 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8566 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8567 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n

9254 ===================================================
9257 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9258 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9259 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9260 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9261 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9262 while loading or saving it.
9263 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9264 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9265 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9268 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9269 interfaces to dynamic types.
9272 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9273 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
9274 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

11592 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11593 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11594 variants [Martyn Russell]

11625 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
11626 =================================================
11628 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11629 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11630 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11632 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11633 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11636 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11637 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11638 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11639 "stutter stepping".
11640 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11642 * Memory management:
11643 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11644 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11645 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11646 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11647 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11648 never worked as intended.
11649 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11650 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11651 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11652 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11653 efficient and scalable implementation.
11654 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11656 * Pattern matching:
11657 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11658 unnecessary recursion.
11661 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11662 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11663 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11666 * g_thread_foreach:
11667 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11670 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11671 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11672 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11676 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11677 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11678 since they are in glib.h
