687 ==================================
689 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
690 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
691 is unavailable or undesired.
693 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
694 glib-networking will also be required.

749 ==================================
751 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
752 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
753 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
754 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
756 This release corrects only this problem.
758 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
759 ==================================
761 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
762 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
763 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
765 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1111 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1112 ==================================
1114 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1115 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1116 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1117 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1118 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1119 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1121 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1122 have seen major improvements.
1124 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1125 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1126 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1129 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1131 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1133 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1135 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1136 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1137 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1138 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1139 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1140 you use the --strict option.
1142 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1143 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1144 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1146 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1148 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1149 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1150 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1232 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1233 ===================================
1235 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1236 before the release of 2.44.0.
1238 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1240 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1241 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the

1290 ===================================
1292 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1293 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1294 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1296 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1297 effective busy state.

1820 726046 Recent commit created symbolic icons issues
1832 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
1833 =====================================================
1835 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1836 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1837 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1838 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1839 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1840 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
1842 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
1845 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken

2088 * Translations updates:
2095 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2096 ====================================================
2098 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2100 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2102 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2103 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2106 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2107 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2110 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2112 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2114 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2117 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2118 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2120 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2122 * Applications/Actions
2124 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2125 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2128 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2129 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2131 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2132 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2133 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2134 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2138 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2139 accesses that are performed in common situations
2141 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2142 are installed/removed
2144 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2145 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2147 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2148 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2153 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2155 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2156 that test programs don't pick them up
2158 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2160 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2161 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2162 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2163 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2165 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2166 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2168 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2169 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2170 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2174 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2176 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2178 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2180 Translations updated:

2200 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

2230 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2231 ====================================================
2233 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2237 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2239 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2240 them can restart the application with an action (via
2245 - new API for launching subprocesses
2247 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2249 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2251 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2252 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2254 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2256 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2258 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2259 actions and listing apps and actions
2261 - bash tab completion is supported
2263 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2265 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2266 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2268 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2269 DBusActivatable=true
2271 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2272 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2277 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2279 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2280 class and inotify backend
2282 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2283 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2285 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2290 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2291 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2292 when there are invalid schemas installed
2294 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2298 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2299 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2301 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2304 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2305 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2306 semantics of the interface in each case
2308 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2309 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2311 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2313 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2314 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2315 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2316 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2320 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2323 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2325 * Portability improvements
2327 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2329 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2330 actually support it (like Hurd)
2332 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2334 * Other small API changes/additions
2336 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2337 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2338 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2340 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2342 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2343 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2345 * GMainContext/GSource
2347 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2349 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2350 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2351 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2352 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2353 broken and should probably be fixed.
2355 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2356 require use of a linked list
2360 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2361 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2362 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2364 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2368 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2369 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2370 gphoto, archive, at least).
2372 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2374 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2377 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2378 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2379 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2381 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2383 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2385 * Many documentation improvements
2388 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2389 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2390 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2443 What's new in Glib 2.38
2444 ========================
2446 * Application support
2448 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2449 desktop entry specification
2451 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2452 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2453 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2455 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2456 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2457 to launch other applications
2459 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2460 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2464 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2465 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2466 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2467 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2468 any problems that this may have caused.
2470 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2471 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2472 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2473 (allowing memory savings)
2475 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2476 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2477 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2479 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2480 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2483 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2484 without destroying one of the objects involved
2488 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2489 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2490 with a finite number of cases
2492 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2493 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2495 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2496 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2497 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2498 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2501 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2505 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2506 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2507 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2509 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2511 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2512 and an API to check them
2514 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2515 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2517 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2518 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2522 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2523 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2524 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2527 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2528 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2529 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2531 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2536 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2537 allow for regexp matching on streams
2539 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2540 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2541 g_variant_new_printf()
2545 - we can now generate TAP output
2547 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2548 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2550 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2555 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2681 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2682 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2683 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2866 ==============================================
2868 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2869 and a parser API for them is now provided
2871 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2872 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2873 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3025 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3026 ==============================================
3028 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3029 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3030 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3031 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3032 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3036 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3037 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3039 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
3040 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
3041 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

3197 * Translation updates:
3212 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3213 ==============================================
3215 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3216 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3217 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3218 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3219 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3221 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3222 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3223 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3224 particular, are incompatible.
3226 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3260 * Translation updates:
3271 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3272 ==============================================
3274 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3275 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3276 causing regressions in applications.
3278 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3279 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3280 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3283 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3284 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3285 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3287 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3289 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3291 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3293 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3295 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3297 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3299 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3301 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3303 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3305 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3356 ==============================================
3358 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3359 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3361 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3362 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3364 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3366 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

4202 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4203 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4204 to an overridden property
4205 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4206 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4208 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4209 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4256 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4257 moved to GtkApplication.
4259 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4260 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4261 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4262 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4264 * lots of documentation improvements
4266 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes

4293 * Translations updated:
4297 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4298 ==============================================
4300 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4301 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4302 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4305 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4306 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4307 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4310 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4311 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4312 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4313 through an idle on the context.
4315 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4316 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4317 fixes here and there.
4319 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4320 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4321 API available outside GLib
4323 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4358 ==============================================
4360 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4362 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4364 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4365 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4366 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4368 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4371 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4372 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4373 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4376 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4377 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
4380 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
4383 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4384 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4385 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4387 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4388 =================================================
4390 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4391 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4393 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4394 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4395 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4396 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4397 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4398 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4399 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4400 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4401 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4402 required (and has been deprecated)
4403 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4404 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4405 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4406 without explicit initialisation.
4407 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4408 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4409 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4411 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4412 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4413 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4414 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4415 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4416 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4417 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4419 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4420 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4421 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4422 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4423 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4424 - other implementation details changed
4426 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4427 deprecated/ directory.
4429 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4430 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4431 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4433 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4434 platform over a year ago).
4436 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4437 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4439 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4440 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4442 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4443 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4444 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4445 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4448 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4449 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4452 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4454 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4455 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4457 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4458 in a multi-threaded program
4460 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4461 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4464 - drop -uninstalled variants
4465 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4467 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4468 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4469 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4471 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4473 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4474 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4477 - many code generation updates and improvements
4478 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4481 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4482 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4484 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4486 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4489 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4490 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4492 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4493 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4495 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4497 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4501 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4502 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4927 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
4928 ==============================================
4930 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4931 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4932 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4933 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4934 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4935 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4937 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4938 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4940 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4942 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4944 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

4995 * Updated translations:
5004 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5005 ==============================================
5008 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5009 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5010 an 'object manager' pattern:
5011 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5012 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5013 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5014 And server-side implementations:
5015 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5016 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5017 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5021 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5025 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5026 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5027 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5028 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5031 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5032 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5035 * Unix-specific APIs:
5036 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5037 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5038 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5039 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5040 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5041 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5063 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
5065 * Updated translations
5072 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5073 ==============================================
5076 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5077 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5078 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5081 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5082 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5083 situations has been improved
5086 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5087 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5090 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5091 match strcmp() semantics
5092 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5093 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5094 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5096 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5097 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5100 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5102 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5104 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5105 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5106 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5386 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5387 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5392 g_get_monotonic_time
5394 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5397 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5399 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

5424 * Translation updates:
5432 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5433 ==============================================
5436 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5437 - Support environment passing
5440 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5441 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5443 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5444 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5445 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5449 158725 free linked list with data
5450 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
5451 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError
5452 629274 GNetworkService does not do fallback when there is no SRV record
5453 631264 gsettings-tool choice/range support
5454 631482 g_date_time_from_instant: 1000000000000000000
5455 632169 docs for manual use of gsettings-data-convert
5456 632571 Add equivalent to gconftool-2's -R option

5459 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5460 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5462 * Translation updates:
5468 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5469 ==============================================
5471 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5472 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5474 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5475 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5477 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5479 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5481 g_settings_get_range
5482 g_settings_range_check
5483 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5485 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5486 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5488 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5489 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5491 g_main_context_invoke
5492 g_main_context_invoke_full
5494 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5495 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5496 looking for default applications.
5498 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5499 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5500 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5501 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5503 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5504 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5505 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
5508 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

5762 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5763 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5764 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5766 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5767 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5768 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5769 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5772 There have been many other improvements, however:
5775 - vastly improved test coverage
5776 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5777 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5778 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5827 =====================================================
5829 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5830 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5831 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5832 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5833 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5834 | required (and will be along soon). |
5835 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5838 - cleanup automake setup
5839 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5840 - various docs fixups
5841 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

5857 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5858 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5859 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5860 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5863 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5896 =====================================================
5898 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5899 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5900 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5901 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5902 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5905 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5906 -Bsymbolic-functions
5907 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5908 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5909 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5910 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5911 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5914 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5915 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5916 nobody was doing that.
5917 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5919 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5920 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5922 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5923 have a serial number
5924 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5926 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5928 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5929 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5930 has finished running on GDBus services.
5931 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5932 this due to the obvious race)
5933 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5934 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5937 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5938 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5939 arguments and different behaviour
5940 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5941 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5942 strings instead of utf8 strings
5943 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5944 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5945 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5946 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5947 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5948 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5949 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5950 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5951 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5954 - improved documentation
5955 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5956 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5957 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5958 overridden using <override>.
5959 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5961 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5962 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5963 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5964 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5965 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
5966 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
5967 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
5968 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
5969 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
5970 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
5971 being set due to a premature free
5972 - command line tool: bash completion support
5973 - chain up in _finalize
5974 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
5976 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
5977 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
5978 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
5980 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
5981 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
5982 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
5983 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
5984 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
5988 - always intern GBinding prop names
5989 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
5990 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
5991 - GNode docs improvements
5992 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
5993 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
5994 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
5998 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
5999 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6000 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6001 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6002 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6003 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6004 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6005 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6007 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6008 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6009 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6010 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6011 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6012 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6013 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6014 610784 array test failing
6015 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6016 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

6697 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
6698 ===================================================
6701 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6702 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6703 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6704 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6705 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6706 while loading or saving it.
6707 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6708 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6709 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6712 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6713 interfaces to dynamic types.
6716 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6717 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
6718 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

7436 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7437 ===================================================
7439 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7440 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7441 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7442 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7443 also uses less memory overall.
7445 * Make g_poll available as public api
7447 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7448 that a GError is set or unset
7450 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7452 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7453 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7455 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7456 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9114 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9115 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9116 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9120 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9121 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
