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

816 ==================================
818 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
819 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
820 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
821 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
823 This release corrects only this problem.
825 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
826 ==================================
828 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
829 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
830 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
832 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1178 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1179 ==================================
1181 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1182 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1183 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1184 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1185 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1186 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1188 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1189 have seen major improvements.
1191 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1192 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1193 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1196 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1198 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1200 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1202 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1203 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1204 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1205 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1206 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1207 you use the --strict option.
1209 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1210 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1211 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1213 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1215 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1216 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1217 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1262 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1263 ===================================
1265 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1266 before the release of 2.44.0.
1268 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1270 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1271 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1272 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1273 default in the next cycle.
1275 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1277 * new GTask:completed property
1279 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
1280 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()

1319 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
1320 ===================================
1322 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1323 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1324 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1326 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1327 effective busy state.
1329 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

1376 ==================================
1378 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
1379 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
1380 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
1382 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
1383 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
1385 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.

1863 =====================================================
1865 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
1866 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
1867 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
1868 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
1869 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
1870 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
1872 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

2125 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2126 ====================================================
2128 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2130 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2132 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2133 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2136 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2137 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2140 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2142 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2144 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2147 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2148 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2150 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2152 * Applications/Actions
2154 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2155 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2158 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2159 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2161 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2162 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2163 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2164 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2168 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2169 accesses that are performed in common situations
2171 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2172 are installed/removed
2174 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2175 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2177 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2178 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2183 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2185 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2186 that test programs don't pick them up
2188 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2190 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2191 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2192 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2193 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2195 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2196 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2198 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2199 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2200 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2204 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2206 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2208 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2210 Translations updated:

2260 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2261 ====================================================
2263 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2267 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2269 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2270 them can restart the application with an action (via
2275 - new API for launching subprocesses
2277 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2279 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2281 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2282 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2284 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2286 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2288 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2289 actions and listing apps and actions
2291 - bash tab completion is supported
2293 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2295 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2296 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2298 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2299 DBusActivatable=true
2301 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2302 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2307 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2309 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2310 class and inotify backend
2312 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2313 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2315 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2320 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2321 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2322 when there are invalid schemas installed
2324 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2328 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2329 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2331 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2334 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2335 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2336 semantics of the interface in each case
2338 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2339 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2341 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2343 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2344 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2345 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2346 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2350 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2353 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2355 * Portability improvements
2357 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2359 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2360 actually support it (like Hurd)
2362 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2364 * Other small API changes/additions
2366 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2367 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2368 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2370 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2372 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2373 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2375 * GMainContext/GSource
2377 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2379 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2380 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2381 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2382 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2383 broken and should probably be fixed.
2385 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2386 require use of a linked list
2390 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2391 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2392 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2394 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2398 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2399 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2400 gphoto, archive, at least).
2402 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2404 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2407 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2408 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2409 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2411 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2413 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2415 * Many documentation improvements

2473 What's new in Glib 2.38
2474 ========================
2476 * Application support
2478 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2479 desktop entry specification
2481 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2482 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2483 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2485 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2486 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2487 to launch other applications
2489 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2490 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2494 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2495 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2496 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2497 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2498 any problems that this may have caused.
2500 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2501 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2502 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2503 (allowing memory savings)
2505 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2506 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2507 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2509 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2510 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2513 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2514 without destroying one of the objects involved
2518 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2519 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2520 with a finite number of cases
2522 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2523 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2525 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2526 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2527 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2528 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2531 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2535 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2536 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2537 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2539 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2541 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2542 and an API to check them
2544 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2545 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2547 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2548 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2552 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2553 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2554 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2557 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2558 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2559 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2561 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2566 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2567 allow for regexp matching on streams
2569 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2570 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2571 g_variant_new_printf()
2575 - we can now generate TAP output
2577 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2578 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2580 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2585 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2711 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2712 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2713 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

2804 ==============================================
2806 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
2807 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
2809 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
2810 and will trigger a warning.

2896 ==============================================
2898 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
2899 and a parser API for them is now provided
2901 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
2902 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
2903 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

2995 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
2996 ==============================================
2998 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
2999 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3000 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3001 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3055 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3056 ==============================================
3058 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3059 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3060 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3061 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3062 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3066 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3067 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient

3091 ==============================================
3093 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3095 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3096 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3098 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3099 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3101 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3114 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3115 ==============================================
3117 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3120 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3121 ready at a specified monotonic time
3123 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3125 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3227 * Translation updates:
3242 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3243 ==============================================
3245 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3246 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3247 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3248 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3249 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3251 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3252 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3253 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3254 particular, are incompatible.
3256 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3290 * Translation updates:
3301 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3302 ==============================================
3304 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3305 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3306 causing regressions in applications.
3308 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3309 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3310 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3313 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3314 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3315 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3317 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3319 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3321 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3323 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3325 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3327 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3329 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3331 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3333 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3335 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3388 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3389 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3391 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3392 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3394 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set

4235 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4236 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4238 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4239 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4241 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4283 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4284 ==============================================
4286 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4287 moved to GtkApplication.
4289 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4290 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4291 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4292 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4294 * lots of documentation improvements
4296 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4298 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4299 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4301 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4303 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4305 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4307 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4308 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4311 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4312 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
4313 664699 glib: documentation fixes
4314 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
4315 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
4316 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4317 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
4318 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
4319 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
4320 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
4321 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
4323 * Translations updated:
4327 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4328 ==============================================
4330 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4331 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4332 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4335 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4336 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4337 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4340 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4341 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4342 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4343 through an idle on the context.
4345 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4346 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4347 fixes here and there.
4349 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4350 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4351 API available outside GLib
4353 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4390 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
4392 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4394 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4395 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4396 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4398 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4401 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4402 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4403 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4406 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4407 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

4414 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4415 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4417 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4418 =================================================
4420 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4421 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4423 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4424 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4425 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4426 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4427 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4428 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4429 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4430 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4431 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4432 required (and has been deprecated)
4433 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4434 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4435 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4436 without explicit initialisation.
4437 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4438 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4439 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4441 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4442 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4443 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4444 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4445 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4446 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4447 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4449 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4450 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4451 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4452 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4453 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4454 - other implementation details changed
4456 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4457 deprecated/ directory.
4459 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4460 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4461 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4463 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4464 platform over a year ago).
4466 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4467 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4469 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4470 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4472 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4473 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4474 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4475 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4478 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4479 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4482 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4484 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4485 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4487 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4488 in a multi-threaded program
4490 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4491 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4494 - drop -uninstalled variants
4495 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4497 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4498 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4499 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4501 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4503 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4504 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4507 - many code generation updates and improvements
4508 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4511 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4512 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4514 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4516 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4519 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4520 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4522 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4523 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4525 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4527 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4531 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4532 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4958 ==============================================
4960 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
4961 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
4962 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
4963 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
4964 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
4965 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
4967 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
4968 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
4970 * Access to quarks is now lockless
4972 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
4974 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

5025 * Updated translations:
5034 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5035 ==============================================
5038 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5039 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5040 an 'object manager' pattern:
5041 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5042 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5043 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5044 And server-side implementations:
5045 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5046 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5047 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5051 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5055 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5056 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5057 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5058 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5061 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5062 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5065 * Unix-specific APIs:
5066 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5067 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5068 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5069 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5070 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5071 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5102 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5103 ==============================================
5106 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5107 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5108 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5111 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5112 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5113 situations has been improved
5116 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5117 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5120 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5121 match strcmp() semantics
5122 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5123 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5124 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5126 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5127 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5130 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5132 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5134 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5135 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5136 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5413 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
5414 ==============================================
5416 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
5417 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
5422 g_get_monotonic_time
5424 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5427 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5429 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
5431 g_simple_async_result_take_error
5432 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
5433 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
5435 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:

5439 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
5440 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
5442 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
5443 g_get_user_runtime_dir

5462 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
5463 ==============================================
5466 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
5467 - Support environment passing
5470 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5471 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5473 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5474 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5475 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
5479 158725 free linked list with data
5480 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible

5489 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
5490 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
5492 * Translation updates:
5498 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5499 ==============================================
5501 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5502 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5504 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5505 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5507 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5509 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5511 g_settings_get_range
5512 g_settings_range_check
5513 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5515 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5516 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5518 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5519 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5521 g_main_context_invoke
5522 g_main_context_invoke_full
5524 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5525 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5526 looking for default applications.
5528 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5529 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5530 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5531 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5533 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5534 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5535 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5793 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5794 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5796 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5797 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5798 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5799 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5802 There have been many other improvements, however:
5805 - vastly improved test coverage
5806 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5807 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5808 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

5857 =====================================================
5859 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5860 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
5861 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
5862 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
5863 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
5864 | required (and will be along soon). |
5865 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5868 - cleanup automake setup
5869 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
5870 - various docs fixups

5887 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
5888 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
5889 - constness fixes for introspection structures
5890 - clean ups to subtree registration API
5893 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

5926 =====================================================
5928 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5929 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
5930 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
5931 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
5932 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5935 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
5936 -Bsymbolic-functions
5937 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
5938 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
5939 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
5940 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
5941 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
5944 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
5945 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
5946 nobody was doing that.
5947 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
5949 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
5950 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
5952 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
5953 have a serial number
5954 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
5956 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
5958 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
5959 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
5960 has finished running on GDBus services.
5961 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
5962 this due to the obvious race)
5963 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
5964 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
5967 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
5968 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
5969 arguments and different behaviour
5970 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
5971 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
5972 strings instead of utf8 strings
5973 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
5974 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
5975 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
5976 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
5977 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
5978 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
5979 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
5980 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
5981 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
5984 - improved documentation
5985 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
5986 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
5987 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
5988 overridden using <override>.
5989 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
5991 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
5992 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
5993 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
5994 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
5995 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all

6731 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
6732 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
6733 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
6734 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
6735 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6736 while loading or saving it.
6737 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6738 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6739 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6742 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6743 interfaces to dynamic types.
6746 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
6747 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked

7466 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
7467 ===================================================
7469 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7470 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7471 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
7472 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
7473 also uses less memory overall.
7475 * Make g_poll available as public api
7477 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
7478 that a GError is set or unset
7480 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7482 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7483 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7485 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7486 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

9100 =================================================
9102 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
9103 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
9104 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
9106 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
9107 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
9110 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
9111 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
9112 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
9114 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
9116 * Memory management:
9117 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
9118 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
9119 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
9120 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
9121 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
9122 never worked as intended.
9123 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
9124 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
9125 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
9126 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
9127 efficient and scalable implementation.
9128 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
9131 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
9132 unnecessary recursion.
9135 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
9136 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
9137 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
9141 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
9144 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
9145 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
9146 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
9150 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
9151 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
9152 since they are in glib.h
