1 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.0
2 ==================================
4 * Changes to `iconv` configure options, including the default iconv
5 implementation on macOS — distributors may need to check their configure
8 * Build fixes when building GLib with `G_DISABLE_ASSERT` defined (#1708)
10 * Fix documentation for `gdbus-tool wait` to use correct units (#1737)
12 * Improvements to symlink handling on Windows (!269)
14 * Add exception handling for crashes on Windows (!582)
16 * Set `G_WITH_CYGWIN` again when GLib is built on Cygwin (this was a regression
17 from the autotools build) (!736)
19 * Use `GCocoaNotificationBackend` by default on macOS, rather than
20 `GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)
22 * Use Windows symbol visibility when GLib is built on Cygwin, as PE binaries
23 are subject to W32 visibility mechanics — this affects the definition of
26 * Add coloured output support to `gdbus introspect` (!761)

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

310 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
311 ==================================
313 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
314 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
315 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
316 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
318 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
319 directory for each unit test. (#538)
321 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
323 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
325 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
327 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
328 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
329 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
330 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
332 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
333 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
335 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
336 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
337 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
339 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
341 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
342 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
345 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
346 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
348 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
349 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
350 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
352 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
353 portal backends. (!317)
355 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
358 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
360 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
363 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
365 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
368 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
369 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
370 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
372 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
373 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
375 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
376 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
377 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
378 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
380 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
382 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

591 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
592 ==================================
594 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
595 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
596 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
597 with Meson or autotools. See:
598 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
600 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
602 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
603 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
605 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
607 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
609 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
610 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
611 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
612 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
615 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
616 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
617 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
618 !265 Network monitor again
619 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
620 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
621 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
622 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
623 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
624 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
626 * Translation updates:
636 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
637 ==================================
639 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
640 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
641 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
642 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
644 * Many minor documentation fixes.
646 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
648 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
650 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
652 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
653 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
655 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
657 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
658 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
659 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
662 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
664 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
667 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
668 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

2011 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
2012 ==================================
2014 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
2015 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
2016 is unavailable or undesired.
2018 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
2019 glib-networking will also be required.
2021 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
2022 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag
2024 * several GApplication fixes, including fixes for commandline arguments
2025 in interpreted languages on Windows

2073 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2074 ==================================
2076 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2077 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2078 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2079 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2081 This release corrects only this problem.
2083 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2084 ==================================
2086 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2087 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2088 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2090 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2436 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2437 ==================================
2439 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2440 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2441 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2442 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2443 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2444 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2446 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2447 have seen major improvements.
2449 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2450 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2451 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2454 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2456 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2458 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2460 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2461 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2462 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2463 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2464 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2465 you use the --strict option.
2467 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2468 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2469 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2471 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2473 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2474 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2475 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2521 ===================================
2523 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2524 before the release of 2.44.0.
2526 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2528 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2529 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2530 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2531 default in the next cycle.
2533 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
2535 * new GTask:completed property

2577 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
2578 ===================================
2580 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
2581 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
2582 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
2584 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
2585 effective busy state.
2587 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

2638 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
2640 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
2641 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

3123 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning

3376 * Translations updates:
3383 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3384 ====================================================
3386 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3388 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3390 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3391 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3394 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3395 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3398 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3400 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3402 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3405 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3406 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3408 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3410 * Applications/Actions
3412 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3413 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3416 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3417 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3419 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3420 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3421 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3422 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3426 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3427 accesses that are performed in common situations
3429 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3430 are installed/removed
3432 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3433 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3435 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3436 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3441 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3443 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3444 that test programs don't pick them up
3446 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3448 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3449 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3450 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3451 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3453 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3454 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3456 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3457 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3458 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3462 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3464 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3466 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3468 Translations updated:
3476 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3480 665634 g_dbus_node_info_new_for_xml() errors on unknown attributes in XML files
3481 668232 Unable to get description and summary for a key

3484 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

3486 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
3487 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
3488 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

3518 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3519 ====================================================
3521 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3525 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3527 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3528 them can restart the application with an action (via
3533 - new API for launching subprocesses
3535 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3537 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3539 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3540 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3542 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3544 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3546 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3547 actions and listing apps and actions
3549 - bash tab completion is supported
3551 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3553 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3554 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3556 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3557 DBusActivatable=true
3559 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3560 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3565 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3567 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3568 class and inotify backend
3570 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3571 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3573 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
3578 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
3579 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
3580 when there are invalid schemas installed
3582 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
3586 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
3587 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
3589 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
3592 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
3593 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
3594 semantics of the interface in each case
3596 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
3597 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
3599 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
3601 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
3602 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
3603 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
3604 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
3608 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
3611 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
3613 * Portability improvements
3615 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
3617 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
3618 actually support it (like Hurd)
3620 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
3622 * Other small API changes/additions
3624 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
3625 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
3626 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
3628 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
3630 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
3631 G_LOG_ERROR messages
3633 * GMainContext/GSource
3635 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
3637 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
3638 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
3639 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
3640 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
3641 broken and should probably be fixed.
3643 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
3644 require use of a linked list
3648 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
3649 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
3650 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
3652 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
3656 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
3657 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
3658 gphoto, archive, at least).
3660 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
3662 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
3665 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
3666 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
3667 (which shared exactly the same bug)
3669 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
3671 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
3673 * Many documentation improvements
3676 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
3677 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
3678 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3731 What's new in Glib 2.38
3732 ========================
3734 * Application support
3736 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3737 desktop entry specification
3739 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3740 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3741 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3743 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3744 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3745 to launch other applications
3747 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3748 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3752 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3753 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3754 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3755 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3756 any problems that this may have caused.
3758 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3759 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3760 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3761 (allowing memory savings)
3763 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3764 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3765 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3767 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3768 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3771 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3772 without destroying one of the objects involved
3776 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3777 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3778 with a finite number of cases
3780 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3781 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3783 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3784 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3785 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3786 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3789 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3793 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3794 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3795 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3797 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3799 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3800 and an API to check them
3802 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3803 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3805 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3806 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3810 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3811 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3812 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3815 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3816 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3817 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3819 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3824 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3825 allow for regexp matching on streams
3827 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3828 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3829 g_variant_new_printf()
3833 - we can now generate TAP output
3835 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3836 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3838 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3843 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3966 ==============================================
3968 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3969 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3970 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3971 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

4153 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
4154 ==============================================
4156 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4157 and a parser API for them is now provided
4159 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4160 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4161 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4254 ==============================================
4256 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4257 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4258 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
4259 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

4313 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4314 ==============================================
4316 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4317 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4318 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4319 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4320 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4324 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4325 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4327 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4328 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4329 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4330 * documentation fixes
4331 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4334 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.
4335 692827 configure test fails for arpa_nameser.h
4336 692829 new Btrfs support causes build failure on Solaris
4337 693285 GDBusObjectManagerClient: won't emit object-added|removed if name-owner arrives later

4485 * Translation updates:
4500 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4501 ==============================================
4503 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4504 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4505 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4506 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4507 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4509 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4510 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4511 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4512 particular, are incompatible.
4514 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4559 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4560 ==============================================
4562 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4563 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4564 causing regressions in applications.
4566 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4567 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4568 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4571 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4572 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4573 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4575 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4577 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
4579 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
4581 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
4583 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
4585 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
4587 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
4589 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
4591 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
4593 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

4646 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
4647 give feedback if they cause trouble:
4649 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
4650 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
4652 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
4654 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

5491 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
5492 to an overridden property

5547 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5548 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5549 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5550 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5552 * lots of documentation improvements
5554 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5556 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs

5561 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()

5585 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
5586 ==============================================
5588 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
5589 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
5590 There have also been many related improvements to action group
5593 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
5594 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
5595 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
5598 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
5599 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
5600 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
5601 through an idle on the context.
5603 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
5604 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
5605 fixes here and there.
5607 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
5608 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
5609 API available outside GLib
5611 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

5646 ==============================================
5648 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
5650 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
5652 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
5653 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
5654 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
5656 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
5659 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
5660 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
5661 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
5664 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
5665 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

5671 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
5672 - various GIO file and stream fixes
5673 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
5675 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
5676 =================================================
5678 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
5679 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
5681 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
5682 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
5683 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
5684 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
5685 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
5686 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
5687 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
5688 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
5689 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
5690 required (and has been deprecated)
5691 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
5692 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
5693 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
5694 without explicit initialisation.
5695 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
5696 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
5697 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
5699 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
5700 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
5701 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
5702 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
5703 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
5704 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
5705 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
5707 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
5708 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5709 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5710 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5711 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5712 - other implementation details changed
5714 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5715 deprecated/ directory.
5717 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5718 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5719 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5721 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5722 platform over a year ago).
5724 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5725 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5727 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5728 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5730 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5731 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5732 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5733 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5736 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5737 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5740 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5742 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5743 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5745 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5746 in a multi-threaded program
5748 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5749 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5752 - drop -uninstalled variants
5753 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5755 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5756 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5757 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5759 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5761 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5762 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5765 - many code generation updates and improvements
5766 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5769 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5770 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5772 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5774 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5777 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5778 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5780 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5781 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5783 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5785 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5789 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5790 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6215 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6216 ==============================================
6218 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6219 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6220 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6221 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6222 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6223 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6225 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6226 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6228 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6230 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6232 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

6283 * Updated translations:
6292 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6293 ==============================================
6296 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6297 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6298 an 'object manager' pattern:
6299 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6300 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6301 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6302 And server-side implementations:
6303 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6304 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6305 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6309 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6313 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6314 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6315 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6316 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6319 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6320 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6323 * Unix-specific APIs:
6324 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6325 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6326 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6327 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6328 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6329 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6353 * Updated translations
6360 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6361 ==============================================
6364 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6365 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6366 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6369 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6370 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6371 situations has been improved
6374 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6375 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6378 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6379 match strcmp() semantics
6380 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6381 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6382 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6384 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6385 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6388 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6390 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6392 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6393 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6394 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6720 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
6721 ==============================================
6724 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
6725 - Support environment passing
6728 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6729 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6731 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6732 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6733 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
6737 158725 free linked list with data
6738 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
6739 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

6748 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
6750 * Translation updates:
6756 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6757 ==============================================
6759 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6760 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6762 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6763 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6765 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6767 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6769 g_settings_get_range
6770 g_settings_range_check
6771 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6773 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6774 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6776 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6777 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6779 g_main_context_invoke
6780 g_main_context_invoke_full
6782 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6783 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6784 looking for default applications.
6786 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6787 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6788 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6789 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6791 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6792 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6793 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

7048 =====================================================
7050 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7051 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7052 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7054 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7055 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7056 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7057 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7060 There have been many other improvements, however:
7063 - vastly improved test coverage
7064 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7065 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7066 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
7069 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()

7084 without mapping functions
7085 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation

7114 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
7115 =====================================================
7117 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7118 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7119 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7120 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7121 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7122 | required (and will be along soon). |
7123 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7126 - cleanup automake setup
7127 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7128 - various docs fixups
7129 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7135 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
7136 - add g_settings_reset()
7137 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
7140 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
7141 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
7142 - proper support for file descriptor passing
7143 - new flags parameter for sending messages
7144 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
7145 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
7146 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
7147 - constness fixes for introspection structures
7148 - clean ups to subtree registration API
7151 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

7154 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
7155 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
7156 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
7159 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
7160 617483 Credentials passing

7183 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
7184 =====================================================
7186 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7187 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7188 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7189 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7190 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7193 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7194 -Bsymbolic-functions
7195 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7196 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7197 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7198 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7199 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7202 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7203 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7204 nobody was doing that.
7205 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7207 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7208 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7210 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7211 have a serial number
7212 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7214 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7216 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7217 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7218 has finished running on GDBus services.
7219 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7220 this due to the obvious race)
7221 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7222 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7225 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7226 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7227 arguments and different behaviour
7228 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7229 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7230 strings instead of utf8 strings
7231 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7232 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7233 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7234 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7235 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7236 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7237 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7238 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7239 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7242 - improved documentation
7243 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7244 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7245 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7246 overridden using <override>.
7247 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7249 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7250 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7251 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7252 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7253 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7254 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7255 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7256 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7257 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7258 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7259 being set due to a premature free
7260 - command line tool: bash completion support
7261 - chain up in _finalize
7262 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7264 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7265 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7266 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7268 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7269 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7270 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7271 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7272 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7276 - always intern GBinding prop names
7277 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7278 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7279 - GNode docs improvements
7280 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7281 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7282 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7286 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7287 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7288 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7289 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7290 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7291 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7292 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7293 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7295 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7296 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7297 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7298 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7299 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7300 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7301 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
7302 610784 array test failing

7986 ===================================================
7989 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7990 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7991 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7992 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7993 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7994 while loading or saving it.
7995 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7996 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7997 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8000 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8001 interfaces to dynamic types.
8004 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
8005 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
8006 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

8724 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
8725 ===================================================
8727 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
8728 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
8729 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
8730 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
8731 also uses less memory overall.
8733 * Make g_poll available as public api
8735 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
8736 that a GError is set or unset
8738 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
8740 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8741 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8743 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
8744 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10324 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
10325 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10326 variants [Martyn Russell]

10357 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
10358 =================================================
10360 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10361 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10362 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10364 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10365 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10368 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10369 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10370 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10371 "stutter stepping".
10372 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10374 * Memory management:
10375 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10376 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10377 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10378 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10379 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10380 never worked as intended.
10381 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10382 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10383 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10384 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10385 efficient and scalable implementation.
10386 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10388 * Pattern matching:
10389 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10390 unnecessary recursion.
10393 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10394 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10395 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10398 * g_thread_foreach:
10399 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10402 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10403 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10404 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10408 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10409 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10410 since they are in glib.h
