737 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
738 ==================================
740 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
741 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
742 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
743 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
745 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
746 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
747 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
749 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
750 environment variable.
752 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
753 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

898 * Translation updates:
910 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.5
911 ==================================
913 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
914 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
915 is unavailable or undesired.
917 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
918 glib-networking will also be required.

968 * Translation updates:
972 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
973 ==================================
975 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
976 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
977 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
978 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
980 This release corrects only this problem.
982 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
983 ==================================
985 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
986 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
987 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
989 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1328 * Translation updates:
1335 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1336 ==================================
1338 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1339 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1340 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1341 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1342 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1343 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1345 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1346 have seen major improvements.
1348 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1349 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1350 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1353 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1355 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1357 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1359 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1360 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1361 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1362 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1363 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1364 you use the --strict option.
1366 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1367 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1368 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1370 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1372 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1373 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1374 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1456 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1457 ===================================
1459 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1460 before the release of 2.44.0.
1462 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1464 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1465 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1466 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1467 default in the next cycle.
1469 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1471 * new GTask:completed property
1473 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of

1514 ===================================
1516 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1517 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1518 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1520 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1521 effective busy state.

2062 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2063 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2064 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2312 * Translations updates:
2319 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2320 ====================================================
2322 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2324 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2326 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2327 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2330 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2331 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2334 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2336 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2338 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2341 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2342 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2344 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2346 * Applications/Actions
2348 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2349 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2352 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2353 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2355 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2356 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2357 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2358 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2362 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2363 accesses that are performed in common situations
2365 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2366 are installed/removed
2368 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2369 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2371 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2372 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2377 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2379 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2380 that test programs don't pick them up
2382 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2384 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2385 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2386 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2387 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2389 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2390 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2392 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2393 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2394 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2398 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2400 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails

2454 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2455 ====================================================
2457 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2461 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2463 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2464 them can restart the application with an action (via
2469 - new API for launching subprocesses
2471 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2473 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2475 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2476 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2478 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2480 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2482 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2483 actions and listing apps and actions
2485 - bash tab completion is supported
2487 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2489 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2490 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2492 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2493 DBusActivatable=true
2495 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2496 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2501 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2503 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2504 class and inotify backend
2506 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2507 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2509 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2514 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2515 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2516 when there are invalid schemas installed
2518 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2522 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2523 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2525 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2528 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2529 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2530 semantics of the interface in each case
2532 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2533 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2535 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2537 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2538 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2539 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2540 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2544 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2547 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2549 * Portability improvements
2551 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2553 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2554 actually support it (like Hurd)
2556 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2558 * Other small API changes/additions
2560 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2561 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2562 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2564 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2566 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2567 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2569 * GMainContext/GSource
2571 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2573 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2574 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2575 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2576 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2577 broken and should probably be fixed.
2579 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2580 require use of a linked list
2584 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2585 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2586 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2588 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2592 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2593 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2594 gphoto, archive, at least).
2596 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2598 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2601 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2602 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2603 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2605 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2607 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2609 * Many documentation improvements
2612 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2613 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2614 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2661 Brazilian Portuguese
2667 What's new in Glib 2.38
2668 ========================
2670 * Application support
2672 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2673 desktop entry specification
2675 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2676 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2677 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2679 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2680 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2681 to launch other applications
2683 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2684 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2688 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2689 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2690 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2691 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2692 any problems that this may have caused.
2694 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2695 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2696 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2697 (allowing memory savings)
2699 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2700 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2701 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2703 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2704 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2707 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2708 without destroying one of the objects involved
2712 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2713 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2714 with a finite number of cases
2716 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2717 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2719 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2720 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2721 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2722 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2725 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2729 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2730 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2731 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2733 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2735 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2736 and an API to check them
2738 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2739 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2741 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2742 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2746 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2747 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2748 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2751 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2752 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2753 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2755 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2760 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2761 allow for regexp matching on streams
2763 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2764 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2765 g_variant_new_printf()
2769 - we can now generate TAP output
2771 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2772 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2774 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2779 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2901 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2902 ==============================================
2904 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2905 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2906 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2907 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2909 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2910 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2913 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2915 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2916 the key was locked down)
2918 * Miscellaneous new api:
2919 - g_variant_new_printf
2920 - g_action_print_detailed_name

3041 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
3042 ==============================================
3044 * add support for installed tests:
3045 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
3047 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
3048 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
3050 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
3052 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
3054 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
3055 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
3056 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
3058 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

3090 ==============================================
3092 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3093 and a parser API for them is now provided
3095 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3096 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3097 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3157 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3158 ==============================================
3160 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3162 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3163 the destination file
3165 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3167 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3173 * Translations updated:
3189 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3190 ==============================================
3192 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3193 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3194 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3195 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3249 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3250 ==============================================
3252 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3253 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3254 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3255 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3256 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3260 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3261 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3263 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

3284 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3285 ==============================================
3287 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3289 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3290 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3292 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3293 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3295 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3308 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3309 ==============================================
3311 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3314 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3315 ready at a specified monotonic time
3317 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3319 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify

3436 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3437 ==============================================
3439 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3440 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3441 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3442 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3443 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3445 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3446 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3447 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3448 particular, are incompatible.
3450 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3495 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3496 ==============================================
3498 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3499 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3500 causing regressions in applications.
3502 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3503 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3504 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3507 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3508 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3509 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3511 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3513 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3515 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3517 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3519 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3521 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3523 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3525 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3527 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3529 * Many other docs and annotations fixes
3542 649302 Add support for GNU/FreeBSD

3579 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3580 ==============================================
3582 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3583 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3585 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3586 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

4426 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4427 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4428 to an overridden property
4429 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4430 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4432 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4433 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4478 ==============================================
4480 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4481 moved to GtkApplication.
4483 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4484 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4485 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4486 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4488 * lots of documentation improvements
4490 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4492 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4493 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4495 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4497 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4499 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4501 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4502 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4505 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4506 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4517 * Translations updated:
4521 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4522 ==============================================
4524 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4525 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4526 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4529 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4530 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4531 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4534 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4535 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4536 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4537 through an idle on the context.
4539 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4540 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4541 fixes here and there.
4543 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4544 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4545 API available outside GLib
4547 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4588 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4589 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4590 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4592 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

4611 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4612 =================================================
4614 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4615 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4617 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4618 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4619 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4620 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4621 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4622 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4623 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4624 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4625 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4626 required (and has been deprecated)
4627 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4628 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4629 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4630 without explicit initialisation.
4631 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4632 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4633 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4635 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4636 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4637 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4638 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4639 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4640 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4641 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4643 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4644 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4645 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4646 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4647 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4648 - other implementation details changed
4650 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4651 deprecated/ directory.
4653 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4654 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4655 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4657 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4658 platform over a year ago).
4660 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4661 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4663 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4664 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4666 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4667 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4668 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4669 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4672 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4673 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4676 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4678 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4679 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4681 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4682 in a multi-threaded program
4684 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4685 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4688 - drop -uninstalled variants
4689 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4691 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4692 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4693 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4695 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4697 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4698 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4701 - many code generation updates and improvements
4702 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4705 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4706 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4708 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4710 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4713 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4714 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4716 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4717 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4719 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4721 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4725 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4726 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5152 ==============================================
5154 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5155 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5156 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5157 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5158 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5159 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5161 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5162 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5164 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5166 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

5219 * Updated translations:
5228 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5229 ==============================================
5232 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5233 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5234 an 'object manager' pattern:
5235 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5236 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5237 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5238 And server-side implementations:
5239 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5240 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5241 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5245 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5249 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5250 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5251 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5252 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5255 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5256 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5259 * Unix-specific APIs:
5260 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5261 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5262 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5263 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5264 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5265 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5289 * Updated translations
5296 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5297 ==============================================
5300 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5301 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5302 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5305 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5306 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5307 situations has been improved
5310 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5311 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5314 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5315 match strcmp() semantics
5316 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5317 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5318 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5320 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5321 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5324 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5326 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5328 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5329 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5330 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5618 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
5621 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
5623 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting

5661 - Support environment passing
5664 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5665 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5667 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5668 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5669 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

5686 * Translation updates:
5692 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5693 ==============================================
5695 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5696 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5698 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5699 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5701 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5703 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5705 g_settings_get_range
5706 g_settings_range_check
5707 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5709 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5710 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5712 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5713 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5715 g_main_context_invoke
5716 g_main_context_invoke_full
5718 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5719 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5720 looking for default applications.
5722 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5723 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5724 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5725 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5727 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5728 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5729 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5987 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5988 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5990 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5991 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5992 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5993 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5996 There have been many other improvements, however:
5999 - vastly improved test coverage
6000 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6001 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6002 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6005 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
6008 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
6009 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
6010 - improve debug output, add some extra options
6011 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
6013 - sort property names correctly
6014 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
6016 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
6019 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
6020 without mapping functions
6021 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation

6050 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
6051 =====================================================
6053 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6054 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6055 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6056 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6057 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6058 | required (and will be along soon). |
6059 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6062 - cleanup automake setup
6063 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6064 - various docs fixups
6065 - move glibconfig.h to glib/
6066 - disable dtrace support on Mac OS (which has incompatible 'dtrace')
6069 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
6071 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
6072 - add g_settings_reset()
6073 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
6076 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
6077 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
6078 - proper support for file descriptor passing
6079 - new flags parameter for sending messages
6080 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
6081 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
6082 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
6083 - constness fixes for introspection structures
6084 - clean ups to subtree registration API
6087 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

6090 - GIO: clean up credentials passing
6091 - GApplication: make default-quit not apply if register=FALSE
6092 - GIO: add annotations for gobject-introspection
6095 166020 use GAtomic for refcounting
6096 617483 Credentials passing
6097 622005 [GApplication] no way to modify the "default-quit" property

6119 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6120 =====================================================
6122 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6123 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6124 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6125 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6126 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6129 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6130 -Bsymbolic-functions
6131 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6132 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6133 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6134 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6135 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6138 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6139 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6140 nobody was doing that.
6141 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6143 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6144 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6146 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6147 have a serial number
6148 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6150 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6152 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6153 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6154 has finished running on GDBus services.
6155 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6156 this due to the obvious race)
6157 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6158 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6161 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6162 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6163 arguments and different behaviour
6164 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6165 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6166 strings instead of utf8 strings
6167 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6168 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6169 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6170 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6171 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6172 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6173 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6174 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6175 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6178 - improved documentation
6179 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6180 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6181 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6182 overridden using <override>.
6183 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6185 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6186 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6187 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6188 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6189 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6190 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6191 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6192 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6193 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6194 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6195 being set due to a premature free
6196 - command line tool: bash completion support
6197 - chain up in _finalize
6198 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6200 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6201 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6202 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6204 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6205 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6206 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6207 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6208 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6212 - always intern GBinding prop names
6213 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6214 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6215 - GNode docs improvements
6216 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6217 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6218 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6222 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6223 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6224 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6225 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6226 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6227 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6228 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6229 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6231 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6232 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6233 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6234 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6235 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6236 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6237 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6238 610784 array test failing
6239 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6240 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
6241 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG
6242 622124 implement flags

6929 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6930 while loading or saving it.
6931 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6932 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6933 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6936 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6937 interfaces to dynamic types.

7661 ===================================================
7663 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
7664 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
7665 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and

7667 also uses less memory overall.

7672 that a GError is set or unset
7674 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7676 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7677 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7679 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7680 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
