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

178 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
180 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
182 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
183 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
185 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
187 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
188 of packaged libraries (!951)

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

727 * Translation updates:
732 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
733 ==================================
735 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
736 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
737 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
738 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
740 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
741 directory for each unit test. (#538)
743 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
745 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
747 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
749 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
750 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
751 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
752 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
754 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
755 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
757 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
758 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
759 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
761 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
763 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
764 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
767 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
768 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
770 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
771 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
772 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
774 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
775 portal backends. (!317)
777 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
780 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
782 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
785 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
787 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
790 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
791 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
792 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
794 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
795 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
797 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
798 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
799 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
800 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
802 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
804 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1013 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1014 ==================================
1016 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1017 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1018 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1019 with Meson or autotools. See:
1020 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1022 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1024 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1025 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1027 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1029 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1031 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1032 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1033 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1034 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1037 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1038 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1039 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1040 !265 Network monitor again
1041 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1042 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1043 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1044 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1045 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1046 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1048 * Translation updates:
1058 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1059 ==================================
1061 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1062 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1063 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1064 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1066 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1068 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1070 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1072 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1074 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1075 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1077 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1079 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1080 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1081 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1084 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1086 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1089 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1090 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once

2273 environment variable.

2438 is unavailable or undesired.
2440 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
2441 glib-networking will also be required.
2443 * GDBusMethodInvocation now drops replies if the sender set the
2444 NO_REPLY_EXPECTED flag

2495 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
2496 ==================================
2498 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
2499 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
2500 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
2501 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
2503 This release corrects only this problem.
2505 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
2506 ==================================
2508 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
2509 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
2510 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
2512 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

2858 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
2859 ==================================
2861 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
2862 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
2863 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
2864 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
2865 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
2866 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
2868 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
2869 have seen major improvements.
2871 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
2872 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
2873 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
2876 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
2878 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
2880 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
2882 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
2883 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
2884 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
2885 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
2886 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
2887 you use the --strict option.
2889 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
2890 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
2891 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
2893 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
2895 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
2896 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
2897 default handlers for a generic supertype.

2943 ===================================
2945 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
2946 before the release of 2.44.0.
2948 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
2950 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
2951 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
2952 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
2953 default in the next cycle.
2955 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

2999 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
3000 ===================================
3002 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3003 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3004 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3006 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3007 effective busy state.
3009 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

3060 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
3062 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
3063 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.

3543 =====================================================
3545 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
3546 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
3547 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
3548 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
3549 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
3550 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
3552 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

3798 * Translations updates:
3805 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
3806 ====================================================
3808 * GSettings fixes/improvements
3810 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
3812 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
3813 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
3816 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
3817 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
3820 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
3822 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
3824 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
3827 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
3828 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
3830 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
3832 * Applications/Actions
3834 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
3835 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
3838 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
3839 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
3841 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
3842 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
3843 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
3844 not itself at fault for the errant call)
3848 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
3849 accesses that are performed in common situations
3851 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
3852 are installed/removed
3854 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
3855 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
3857 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
3858 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
3863 - ignore qualified tags, as above
3865 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
3866 that test programs don't pick them up
3868 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
3870 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
3871 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
3872 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
3873 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
3875 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
3876 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
3878 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
3879 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
3880 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
3884 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
3886 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
3888 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
3890 Translations updated:
3898 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

3940 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
3941 ====================================================
3943 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
3947 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
3949 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
3950 them can restart the application with an action (via
3955 - new API for launching subprocesses
3957 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
3959 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
3961 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
3962 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
3964 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
3966 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
3968 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
3969 actions and listing apps and actions
3971 - bash tab completion is supported
3973 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
3975 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
3976 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
3978 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
3979 DBusActivatable=true
3981 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
3982 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
3987 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
3989 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
3990 class and inotify backend
3992 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
3993 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
3995 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4000 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4001 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4002 when there are invalid schemas installed
4004 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4008 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4009 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4011 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4014 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4015 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4016 semantics of the interface in each case
4018 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4019 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4021 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4023 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4024 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4025 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4026 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4030 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4033 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4035 * Portability improvements
4037 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4039 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4040 actually support it (like Hurd)
4042 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4044 * Other small API changes/additions
4046 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4047 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4048 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4050 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4052 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4053 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4055 * GMainContext/GSource
4057 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4059 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4060 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4061 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4062 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4063 broken and should probably be fixed.
4065 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4066 require use of a linked list
4070 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4071 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4072 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4074 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4078 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4079 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4080 gphoto, archive, at least).
4082 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4084 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4087 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4088 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4089 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4091 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4093 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4095 * Many documentation improvements
4098 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
4099 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
4100 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

4153 What's new in Glib 2.38
4154 ========================
4156 * Application support
4158 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4159 desktop entry specification
4161 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4162 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4163 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4165 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4166 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4167 to launch other applications
4169 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4170 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4174 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4175 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4176 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4177 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4178 any problems that this may have caused.
4180 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4181 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4182 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4183 (allowing memory savings)
4185 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4186 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4187 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4189 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4190 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4193 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4194 without destroying one of the objects involved
4198 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4199 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4200 with a finite number of cases
4202 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4203 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4205 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4206 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4207 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4208 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4211 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4215 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4216 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4217 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4219 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4221 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4222 and an API to check them
4224 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4225 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4227 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4228 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4232 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4233 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4234 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4237 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4238 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4239 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4241 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4246 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4247 allow for regexp matching on streams
4249 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4250 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4251 g_variant_new_printf()
4255 - we can now generate TAP output
4257 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4258 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4260 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4265 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4391 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4392 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4393 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

4576 ==============================================
4578 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
4579 and a parser API for them is now provided
4581 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
4582 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
4583 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

4678 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
4679 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
4680 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other

4735 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
4736 ==============================================
4738 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
4739 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
4740 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
4741 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
4742 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
4746 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
4747 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
4749 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
4750 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
4751 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
4752 * documentation fixes
4753 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
4756 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

4770 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
4771 ==============================================
4773 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
4775 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back

4907 * Translation updates:
4922 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
4923 ==============================================
4925 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
4926 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
4927 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
4928 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
4929 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
4931 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
4932 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
4933 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
4934 particular, are incompatible.
4936 * Bugs fixed in this release:

4970 * Translation updates:
4981 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
4982 ==============================================
4984 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
4985 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
4986 causing regressions in applications.
4988 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
4989 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
4990 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
4993 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
4994 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
4995 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
4997 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
4999 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5001 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5003 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5005 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5007 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5009 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5011 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5013 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5015 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5068 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5069 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5071 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5072 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5074 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5076 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

5969 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
5970 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
5971 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
5972 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
5974 * lots of documentation improvements
5976 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
5978 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
5979 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)

6007 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6008 ==============================================
6010 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6011 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6012 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6015 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6016 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6017 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6020 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6021 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6022 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6023 through an idle on the context.
6025 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6026 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6027 fixes here and there.
6029 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6030 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6031 API available outside GLib
6033 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6070 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
6072 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
6074 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6075 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6076 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6078 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6081 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6082 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6083 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6086 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
6087 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

6097 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6098 =================================================
6100 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6101 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6103 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6104 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6105 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6106 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6107 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6108 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6109 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6110 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6111 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6112 required (and has been deprecated)
6113 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6114 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6115 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6116 without explicit initialisation.
6117 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6118 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6119 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6121 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6122 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6123 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6124 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6125 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6126 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6127 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6129 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6130 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6131 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6132 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6133 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6134 - other implementation details changed
6136 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6137 deprecated/ directory.
6139 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6140 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6141 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6143 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6144 platform over a year ago).
6146 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6147 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6149 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6150 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6152 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6153 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6154 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6155 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6158 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6159 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6162 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6164 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6165 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6167 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6168 in a multi-threaded program
6170 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6171 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6174 - drop -uninstalled variants
6175 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6177 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6178 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6179 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6181 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6183 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6184 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6187 - many code generation updates and improvements
6188 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6191 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6192 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6194 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6196 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6199 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6200 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6202 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6203 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6205 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6207 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
6211 * Partial list of bugs closed:
6212 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

6637 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
6638 ==============================================
6640 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
6641 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
6642 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
6643 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
6644 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
6645 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
6647 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
6648 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
6650 * Access to quarks is now lockless
6652 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
6654 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

6705 * Updated translations:
6714 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
6715 ==============================================
6718 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
6719 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
6720 an 'object manager' pattern:
6721 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
6722 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
6723 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
6724 And server-side implementations:
6725 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
6726 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
6727 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
6731 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
6735 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
6736 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
6737 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
6738 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
6741 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
6742 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
6745 * Unix-specific APIs:
6746 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
6747 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
6748 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
6749 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
6750 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
6751 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

6773 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
6775 * Updated translations
6782 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
6783 ==============================================
6786 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
6787 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
6788 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
6791 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
6792 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
6793 situations has been improved
6796 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
6797 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
6800 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
6801 match strcmp() semantics
6802 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
6803 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
6804 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
6806 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
6807 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
6810 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
6812 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
6814 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
6815 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
6816 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7178 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7179 ==============================================
7181 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7182 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7184 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7185 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7187 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7189 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7191 g_settings_get_range
7192 g_settings_range_check
7193 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7195 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7196 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7198 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7199 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7201 g_main_context_invoke
7202 g_main_context_invoke_full
7204 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7205 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7206 looking for default applications.
7208 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7209 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7210 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7211 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7213 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7214 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7215 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

7472 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7473 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
7474 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7476 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
7477 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
7478 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
7479 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
7482 There have been many other improvements, however:
7485 - vastly improved test coverage
7486 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
7487 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
7488 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

7537 =====================================================
7539 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7540 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
7541 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7542 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
7543 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
7544 | required (and will be along soon). |
7545 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7548 - cleanup automake setup
7549 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
7550 - various docs fixups
7551 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

7606 =====================================================
7608 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7609 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
7610 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
7611 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
7612 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
7615 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
7616 -Bsymbolic-functions
7617 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
7618 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
7619 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
7620 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
7621 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7624 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
7625 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
7626 nobody was doing that.
7627 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
7629 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
7630 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
7632 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
7633 have a serial number
7634 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
7636 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
7638 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
7639 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
7640 has finished running on GDBus services.
7641 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
7642 this due to the obvious race)
7643 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
7644 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
7647 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
7648 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
7649 arguments and different behaviour
7650 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
7651 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
7652 strings instead of utf8 strings
7653 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
7654 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
7655 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
7656 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
7657 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
7658 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
7659 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
7660 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
7661 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
7664 - improved documentation
7665 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
7666 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
7667 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
7668 overridden using <override>.
7669 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
7671 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
7672 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
7673 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
7674 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
7675 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
7676 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
7677 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
7678 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
7679 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
7680 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
7681 being set due to a premature free
7682 - command line tool: bash completion support
7683 - chain up in _finalize
7684 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
7686 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
7687 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
7688 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
7690 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
7691 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
7692 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
7693 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
7694 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
7698 - always intern GBinding prop names
7699 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
7700 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
7701 - GNode docs improvements
7702 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
7703 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
7704 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
7708 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
7709 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
7710 - improved tests for GKeyfile
7711 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
7712 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
7713 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
7714 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
7715 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
7717 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
7718 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
7719 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
7720 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
7721 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
7722 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
7723 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

8411 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8412 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8413 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8414 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8415 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data

9146 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
9147 ===================================================
9149 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
9150 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
9151 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
9152 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
9153 also uses less memory overall.
9155 * Make g_poll available as public api
9157 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
9158 that a GError is set or unset
9160 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
9162 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
9163 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
9165 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
9166 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10746 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
10747 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
10748 variants [Martyn Russell]

10780 =================================================
10782 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
10783 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
10784 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
10786 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
10787 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
10790 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
10791 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
10792 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
10793 "stutter stepping".
10794 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
10796 * Memory management:
10797 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
10798 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
10799 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
10800 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
10801 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
10802 never worked as intended.
10803 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
10804 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
10805 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
10806 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
10807 efficient and scalable implementation.
10808 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
10810 * Pattern matching:
10811 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
10812 unnecessary recursion.
10815 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
10816 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
10817 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
10820 * g_thread_foreach:
10821 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
10824 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
10825 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
10826 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
10830 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
10831 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
10832 since they are in glib.h
