41 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
42 ==============================================
44 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
45 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
52 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
55 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
57 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
59 g_simple_async_result_take_error

91 ==============================================
94 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
95 - Support environment passing
98 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
99 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
101 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
102 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
103 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
107 158725 free linked list with data

126 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
127 ==============================================
129 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
130 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
132 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
133 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
135 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
137 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
140 g_settings_range_check
141 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
143 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
144 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
146 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
147 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
149 g_main_context_invoke
150 g_main_context_invoke_full
152 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
153 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
154 looking for default applications.
156 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
157 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
158 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
159 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
161 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
162 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
163 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
166 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

420 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
421 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
422 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
424 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
425 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
426 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
427 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
430 There have been many other improvements, however:
433 - vastly improved test coverage
434 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
435 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
436 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

454 without mapping functions
455 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
458 - improve closure support for bindings
459 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
462 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

487 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
488 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
489 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
490 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
491 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |

554 =====================================================
556 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
557 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
558 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
559 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
560 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
563 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
565 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
566 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
567 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
568 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
569 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
572 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
573 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
574 nobody was doing that.
575 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
577 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
578 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
580 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
582 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
584 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
586 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
587 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
588 has finished running on GDBus services.
589 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
590 this due to the obvious race)
591 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
592 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
595 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
596 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
597 arguments and different behaviour
598 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
599 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
600 strings instead of utf8 strings
601 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
602 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
603 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
604 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
605 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
606 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
607 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
608 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
609 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
612 - improved documentation
613 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
614 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
615 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
616 overridden using <override>.
617 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
619 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
620 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
621 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
622 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
623 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
624 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
625 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
626 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
627 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
628 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
629 being set due to a premature free
630 - command line tool: bash completion support
631 - chain up in _finalize
632 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
634 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
635 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
636 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
638 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
639 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
640 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
641 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
642 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
646 - always intern GBinding prop names
647 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
648 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
649 - GNode docs improvements
650 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
651 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
652 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
656 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
657 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
658 - improved tests for GKeyfile
659 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
660 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
661 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
662 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
663 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
665 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
666 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
667 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
668 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
669 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
670 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
671 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

1355 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
1356 ===================================================
1359 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
1360 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
1361 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
1362 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
1363 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
1364 while loading or saving it.
1365 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
1366 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
1367 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
1370 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
1371 interfaces to dynamic types.
1374 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
1375 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
1376 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

2094 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
2095 ===================================================
2097 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
2098 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
2099 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
2100 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
2101 also uses less memory overall.
2103 * Make g_poll available as public api
2105 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
2106 that a GError is set or unset
2108 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
2110 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
2111 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
2113 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
2114 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3772 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
3773 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
3774 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3778 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3779 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
