527 * Add g_fsync() API (#35)
529 * Fix regression in g_file_copy() when passing
530 `G_FILE_COPY_TARGET_DEFAULT_PERMS` flag; the destination permissions would be
531 private rather than following the process’ umask (!1142)

535 * Always build the tests if installed-tests are enabled, so that the tests can
536 actually be installed (!1141)

539 place (when compiler intrinsics aren’t providing the atomics), and fix
540 signedness issues (#1449, #1565)
542 * Use the OS’ `fdwalk()` function (if safe) to speed up `g_spawn_*()` on BSD (#1638)
544 * Remove the macOS `dyld` `GModule` implementation in favour of `dl` instead (!1093)

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

727 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
729 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
731 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
733 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
734 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
736 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
738 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
739 of packaged libraries (!951)
741 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1199 ==================================
1201 * Autotools support is gone. (!580)

1212 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
1213 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
1214 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
1215 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
1217 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)

1283 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1284 ==================================
1286 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
1287 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
1288 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
1289 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
1291 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
1292 directory for each unit test. (#538)
1294 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
1296 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
1298 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
1300 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
1301 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
1302 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
1303 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
1305 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
1306 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
1308 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
1309 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
1310 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
1312 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
1314 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
1315 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
1318 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
1319 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
1321 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
1322 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
1323 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
1325 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
1326 portal backends. (!317)
1328 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
1331 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
1333 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
1336 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
1338 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
1341 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
1342 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
1343 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
1345 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
1346 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
1348 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
1349 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
1350 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
1351 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
1353 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
1355 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

1564 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
1565 ==================================
1567 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
1568 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
1569 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
1570 with Meson or autotools. See:
1571 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
1573 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
1575 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
1576 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
1578 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
1580 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
1582 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
1583 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
1584 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
1585 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
1588 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
1589 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
1590 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
1591 !265 Network monitor again
1592 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
1593 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
1594 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
1595 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
1596 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
1597 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
1599 * Translation updates:
1609 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
1610 ==================================
1612 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
1613 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
1614 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
1615 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
1617 * Many minor documentation fixes.
1619 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
1621 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
1623 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
1625 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
1626 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
1628 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
1630 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
1631 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
1632 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
1635 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
1637 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
1640 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
1641 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
1642 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect

1675 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"

2812 ==================================
2814 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
2815 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
2816 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
2817 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

2820 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
2821 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
2823 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
2824 environment variable.
2826 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
2827 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

2989 is unavailable or undesired.
2991 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of

3047 ==================================
3049 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3050 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3051 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3052 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3054 This release corrects only this problem.
3056 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3057 ==================================
3059 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3060 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3061 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3063 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3409 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
3410 ==================================
3412 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
3413 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
3414 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
3415 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
3416 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
3417 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
3419 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
3420 have seen major improvements.
3422 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
3423 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
3424 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
3427 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
3429 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
3431 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
3433 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
3434 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
3435 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
3436 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
3437 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
3438 you use the --strict option.
3440 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
3441 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
3442 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
3444 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
3446 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
3447 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
3448 default handlers for a generic supertype.

3493 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
3494 ===================================
3496 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
3497 before the release of 2.44.0.
3499 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
3501 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
3502 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
3503 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
3504 default in the next cycle.
3506 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
3508 * new GTask:completed property
3510 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
3511 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

3551 ===================================
3553 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
3554 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
3555 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
3557 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
3558 effective busy state.

3988 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
3989 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).
3991 * use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn handling of desktop
3992 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()
3994 * add support for g_desktop_app_info_get_implementations() to find
3995 desktop files that have an Implements= line for a given interface
3997 * GHmac has gained SHA-512 support
3999 * support the new mimeapps specification (most notably, moving the
4000 assoications/defaults configuration to ~/.config/mimeapps.list).
4002 * libgobject is now linked -Wl,-z,nodelete when possible to avoid errors
4003 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
4004 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
4006 * ... and many other bug fixes.

4094 =====================================================
4096 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4097 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4098 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4099 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4100 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4101 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

4356 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
4357 ====================================================
4359 * GSettings fixes/improvements
4361 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
4363 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
4364 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
4367 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
4368 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
4371 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
4373 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
4375 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
4378 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
4379 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
4381 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
4383 * Applications/Actions
4385 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
4386 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
4389 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
4390 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
4392 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
4393 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
4394 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
4395 not itself at fault for the errant call)
4399 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
4400 accesses that are performed in common situations
4402 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
4403 are installed/removed
4405 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
4406 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
4408 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
4409 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
4414 - ignore qualified tags, as above
4416 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
4417 that test programs don't pick them up
4419 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
4421 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
4422 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
4423 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
4424 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
4426 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
4427 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
4429 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
4430 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
4431 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
4435 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
4437 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
4439 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
4441 Translations updated:

4492 ====================================================
4494 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
4498 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
4500 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
4501 them can restart the application with an action (via
4506 - new API for launching subprocesses
4508 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
4510 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
4512 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
4513 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
4515 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
4517 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
4519 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
4520 actions and listing apps and actions
4522 - bash tab completion is supported
4524 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
4526 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
4527 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
4529 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
4530 DBusActivatable=true
4532 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
4533 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
4538 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
4540 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
4541 class and inotify backend
4543 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
4544 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
4546 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
4551 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
4552 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
4553 when there are invalid schemas installed
4555 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
4559 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
4560 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
4562 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
4565 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
4566 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
4567 semantics of the interface in each case
4569 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
4570 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
4572 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
4574 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
4575 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
4576 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
4577 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
4581 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
4584 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
4586 * Portability improvements
4588 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
4590 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
4591 actually support it (like Hurd)
4593 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
4595 * Other small API changes/additions
4597 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
4598 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
4599 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
4601 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
4603 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
4604 G_LOG_ERROR messages
4606 * GMainContext/GSource
4608 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
4610 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
4611 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
4612 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
4613 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
4614 broken and should probably be fixed.
4616 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
4617 require use of a linked list
4621 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
4622 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
4623 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
4625 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
4629 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
4630 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
4631 gphoto, archive, at least).
4633 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
4635 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
4638 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
4639 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
4640 (which shared exactly the same bug)
4642 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
4644 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
4646 * Many documentation improvements

4704 What's new in Glib 2.38
4705 ========================
4707 * Application support
4709 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
4710 desktop entry specification
4712 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
4713 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
4714 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
4716 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
4717 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
4718 to launch other applications
4720 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
4721 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
4725 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
4726 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
4727 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
4728 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
4729 any problems that this may have caused.
4731 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
4732 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
4733 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
4734 (allowing memory savings)
4736 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
4737 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
4738 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
4740 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
4741 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
4744 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
4745 without destroying one of the objects involved
4749 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
4750 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
4751 with a finite number of cases
4753 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
4754 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
4756 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
4757 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
4758 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
4759 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
4762 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
4766 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
4767 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
4768 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
4770 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
4772 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
4773 and an API to check them
4775 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
4776 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
4778 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
4779 with most functions, but this is not recommended
4783 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
4784 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
4785 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
4788 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
4789 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
4790 particular directory (akin to 'du').
4792 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
4797 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
4798 allow for regexp matching on streams
4800 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
4801 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
4802 g_variant_new_printf()
4806 - we can now generate TAP output
4808 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
4809 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
4811 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
4816 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

4939 ==============================================
4941 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
4942 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
4943 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
4944 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
4946 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
4947 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
4950 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
4952 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

5035 ==============================================
5037 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5038 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5040 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5041 and will trigger a warning.
5044 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5085 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5087 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5089 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5091 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

5127 ==============================================
5129 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5130 and a parser API for them is now provided
5132 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5133 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5134 instance because a long-running operation is pending.
5136 * GLib can now be built with the bionic C library

5195 ==============================================
5197 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5199 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5200 the destination file
5202 - fix some 'available since' annotations
5204 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

5227 ==============================================
5229 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5230 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
5231 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
5232 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

5286 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
5287 ==============================================
5289 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
5290 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
5291 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
5292 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
5293 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
5297 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
5298 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
5300 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

5322 ==============================================
5324 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
5326 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
5327 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
5329 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
5330 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
5332 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
5345 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
5346 ==============================================
5348 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
5351 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
5352 ready at a specified monotonic time
5354 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
5356 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

5458 * Translation updates:
5473 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
5474 ==============================================
5476 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5477 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5478 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5479 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5480 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5482 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
5483 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
5484 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
5485 particular, are incompatible.
5487 * Bugs fixed in this release:

5532 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
5533 ==============================================
5535 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
5536 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
5537 causing regressions in applications.
5539 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
5540 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
5541 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
5544 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
5545 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
5546 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
5548 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
5550 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
5552 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
5554 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
5556 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
5558 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
5560 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
5562 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
5564 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
5566 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

5617 ==============================================
5619 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
5620 give feedback if they cause trouble:
5622 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
5623 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
5625 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
5627 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
5629 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
5631 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
5633 * GLib version macros updated
5635 * Update to Unicode 6.2
5637 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts

6460 ==============================================
6463 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
6464 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
6465 to an overridden property
6466 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
6467 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
6469 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
6470 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

6514 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
6515 ==============================================
6517 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
6518 moved to GtkApplication.
6520 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
6521 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
6522 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
6523 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
6525 * lots of documentation improvements
6527 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
6529 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
6530 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
6532 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
6534 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
6536 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
6538 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
6539 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
6542 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
6543 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

6547 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
6548 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

6554 * Translations updated:
6558 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
6559 ==============================================
6561 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
6562 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
6563 There have also been many related improvements to action group
6566 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
6567 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
6568 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
6571 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
6572 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
6573 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
6574 through an idle on the context.
6576 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
6577 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
6578 fixes here and there.
6580 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
6581 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
6582 API available outside GLib
6584 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

6623 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
6625 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
6626 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
6627 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
6629 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
6632 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
6633 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
6634 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
6637 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED

6645 - various GIO file and stream fixes
6646 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
6648 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
6649 =================================================
6651 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
6652 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
6654 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
6655 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
6656 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
6657 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
6658 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
6659 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
6660 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
6661 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
6662 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
6663 required (and has been deprecated)
6664 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
6665 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
6666 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
6667 without explicit initialisation.
6668 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
6669 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
6670 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
6672 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
6673 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
6674 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
6675 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
6676 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
6677 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
6678 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
6680 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
6681 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
6682 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
6683 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
6684 - GThread is now a refcounted type
6685 - other implementation details changed
6687 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
6688 deprecated/ directory.
6690 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
6691 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
6692 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
6694 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
6695 platform over a year ago).
6697 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
6698 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
6700 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
6701 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
6703 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
6704 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
6705 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
6706 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
6709 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
6710 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
6713 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
6715 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
6716 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
6718 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
6719 in a multi-threaded program
6721 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
6722 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
6725 - drop -uninstalled variants
6726 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
6728 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
6729 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
6730 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
6732 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
6734 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
6735 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
6738 - many code generation updates and improvements
6739 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
6742 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
6743 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
6745 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
6747 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
6750 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
6751 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
6753 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
6754 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
6756 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
6758 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
6762 * Partial list of bugs closed:
6763 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7189 ==============================================
7191 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
7192 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
7193 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
7194 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
7195 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
7196 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
7198 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
7199 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

7256 * Updated translations:
7265 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
7266 ==============================================
7269 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
7270 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
7271 an 'object manager' pattern:
7272 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
7273 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
7274 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
7275 And server-side implementations:
7276 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
7277 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
7278 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
7282 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
7286 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
7287 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
7288 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
7289 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
7292 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
7293 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
7296 * Unix-specific APIs:
7297 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
7298 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
7299 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
7300 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
7301 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
7302 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).
7305 631379 GDBus nonce-tcp test failing

7333 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
7334 ==============================================
7337 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
7338 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
7339 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
7342 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
7343 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
7344 situations has been improved
7347 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
7348 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
7351 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
7352 match strcmp() semantics
7353 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
7354 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
7355 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
7357 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
7358 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
7361 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
7363 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
7365 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
7366 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
7367 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

7648 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
7653 g_get_monotonic_time
7655 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
7658 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally

7697 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
7698 - Support environment passing
7701 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
7702 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
7704 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
7705 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
7706 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
7710 158725 free linked list with data

7723 * Translation updates:
7729 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
7730 ==============================================
7732 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
7733 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
7735 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
7736 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
7738 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
7740 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
7742 g_settings_get_range
7743 g_settings_range_check
7744 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
7746 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
7747 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
7749 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
7750 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
7752 g_main_context_invoke
7753 g_main_context_invoke_full
7755 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
7756 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
7757 looking for default applications.
7759 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
7760 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
7761 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
7762 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
7764 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
7765 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
7766 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8024 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8025 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8027 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8028 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8029 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8030 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8033 There have been many other improvements, however:
8036 - vastly improved test coverage
8037 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8038 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once

8088 =====================================================
8090 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8091 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8092 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8093 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8094 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8095 | required (and will be along soon). |
8096 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8099 - cleanup automake setup
8100 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8101 - various docs fixups
8102 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8119 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8120 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8121 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8124 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8157 =====================================================
8159 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8160 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8161 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8162 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8163 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8166 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8167 -Bsymbolic-functions
8168 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8169 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8170 - use proper feature test macros for isnan

8172 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
8175 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
8176 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
8177 nobody was doing that.
8178 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
8180 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
8181 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
8183 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
8184 have a serial number
8185 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
8187 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
8189 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
8190 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
8191 has finished running on GDBus services.
8192 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
8193 this due to the obvious race)
8194 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
8195 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
8198 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
8199 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
8200 arguments and different behaviour
8201 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
8202 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
8203 strings instead of utf8 strings
8204 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
8205 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
8206 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
8207 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
8208 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
8209 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
8210 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
8211 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
8212 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
8215 - improved documentation
8216 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
8217 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
8218 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
8219 overridden using <override>.
8220 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
8222 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
8223 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
8224 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
8225 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
8226 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
8227 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
8228 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
8229 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
8230 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
8231 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
8232 being set due to a premature free
8233 - command line tool: bash completion support
8234 - chain up in _finalize
8235 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
8237 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
8238 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
8239 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
8241 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
8242 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
8243 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
8244 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
8245 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
8249 - always intern GBinding prop names
8250 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
8251 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
8252 - GNode docs improvements
8253 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
8254 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
8255 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
8259 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
8260 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
8261 - improved tests for GKeyfile
8262 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
8263 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
8264 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
8265 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
8266 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
8268 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
8269 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()

8271 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
8272 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
8273 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
8274 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext

8962 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
8963 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
8964 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
8965 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
8966 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
8967 while loading or saving it.
8968 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
8969 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
8970 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
8973 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
8974 interfaces to dynamic types.
8977 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
8978 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

9697 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
9698 ===================================================
9700 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
9701 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
9702 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
9703 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
9704 also uses less memory overall.
9706 * Make g_poll available as public api
9708 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
9709 that a GError is set or unset
9711 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
9713 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
9714 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
9716 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
9717 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

11291 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
11294 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
11295 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
11296 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
11297 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
11298 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
11299 variants [Martyn Russell]
11302 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
11303 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
11306 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
11309 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
11310 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
11311 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
11312 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
11313 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
11314 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
11315 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
11316 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]

11331 =================================================
11333 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
11334 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
11335 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
11337 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
11338 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
11341 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
11342 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
11343 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
11344 "stutter stepping".
11345 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
11347 * Memory management:
11348 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
11349 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
11350 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
11351 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
11352 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
11353 never worked as intended.
11354 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
11355 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
11356 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
11357 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
11358 efficient and scalable implementation.
11359 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
11361 * Pattern matching:
11362 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
11363 unnecessary recursion.
11366 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
11367 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
11368 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
11371 * g_thread_foreach:
11372 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
11375 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
11376 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
11377 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
11381 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
11382 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
11383 since they are in glib.h
