401 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
402 ==================================
404 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
405 which makes error checking easier (#553)
407 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
408 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
409 variables, or mostly anything else (see
410 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)

421 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
423 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
424 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
425 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
426 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
427 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
428 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

1592 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1594 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything

1597 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1599 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1600 of packaged libraries (!951)

1836 ==================================
1838 * Changes to `iconv` configure options, including the default iconv
1839 implementation on macOS — distributors may need to check their configure
1842 * Build fixes when building GLib with `G_DISABLE_ASSERT` defined (#1708)
1844 * Fix documentation for `gdbus-tool wait` to use correct units (#1737)
1846 * Improvements to symlink handling on Windows (!269)
1848 * Add exception handling for crashes on Windows (!582)
1850 * Set `G_WITH_CYGWIN` again when GLib is built on Cygwin (this was a regression
1851 from the autotools build) (!736)
1853 * Use `GCocoaNotificationBackend` by default on macOS, rather than
1854 `GGtkNotificationBackend` (!745)
1856 * Use Windows symbol visibility when GLib is built on Cygwin, as PE binaries
1857 are subject to W32 visibility mechanics — this affects the definition of
1858 `_GLIB_EXTERN` (!752)
1860 * Add coloured output support to `gdbus introspect` (!761)

2074 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
2075 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
2076 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)

2144 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
2145 ==================================
2147 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2148 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2149 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2150 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2152 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2153 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2155 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2157 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2159 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2161 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2162 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2163 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2164 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2166 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2167 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2169 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2170 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2171 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2173 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2175 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2176 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2179 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2180 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2182 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2183 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2184 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2186 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2187 portal backends. (!317)
2189 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2192 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2194 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2197 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2199 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2202 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2203 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2204 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2206 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2207 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2209 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2210 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2211 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2212 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2214 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2216 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2425 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2426 ==================================
2428 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2429 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2430 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2431 with Meson or autotools. See:
2432 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2434 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2436 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2437 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2439 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2441 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2443 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2444 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2445 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2446 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2449 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2450 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2451 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2452 !265 Network monitor again
2453 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2454 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2455 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2456 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2457 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2458 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2460 * Translation updates:
2470 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2471 ==================================
2473 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2474 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2475 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2476 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2478 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2480 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2482 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2484 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2486 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2487 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2489 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2491 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2492 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2493 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2496 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2498 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2501 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test

3673 ==================================
3675 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
3676 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
3677 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
3678 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.

3681 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
3682 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
3684 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
3685 environment variable.
3687 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
3688 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

3853 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
3854 is unavailable or undesired.
3856 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
3857 glib-networking will also be required.

3907 * Translation updates:
3911 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3912 ==================================
3914 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3915 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3916 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3917 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3919 This release corrects only this problem.
3921 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3922 ==================================
3924 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3925 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3926 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3928 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

4017 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
4018 ==================================
4020 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
4021 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
4022 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
4023 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
4024 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
4027 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
4028 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
4029 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
4030 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
4031 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
4032 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
4033 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4289 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4290 ==================================
4292 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4293 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4294 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4295 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4296 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4297 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4299 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4300 have seen major improvements.
4302 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4303 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4304 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4307 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4309 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4311 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4313 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4314 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4315 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4316 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4317 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4318 you use the --strict option.
4320 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4321 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4322 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4324 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4326 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4327 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4328 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4373 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
4374 ===================================
4376 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4377 before the release of 2.44.0.
4379 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4381 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4382 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4383 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4384 default in the next cycle.
4386 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
4388 * new GTask:completed property
4390 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of
4391 the contended case of GMutex and g_bit_lock()
4394 614684 Make various parts of GObject const-correct
4395 730352 Use inet_pton(), if_nametoindex() and if_indextoname() for newer versions of Windows

4430 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.91
4431 ===================================
4433 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
4434 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
4435 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
4437 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
4438 effective busy state.
4440 There have been various other bugfixes and cleanups.

4463 GInputStream and GOutputStream
4465 * GApplication: new API for marking 'busy' state according to the value
4466 of a boolean property on another object
4468 * GOptionGroup: add binding support (boxed type, annotation fixes, etc.)

4487 ==================================
4489 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4490 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
4491 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.
4493 * g_autoptr and g_auto are macros for declaring variables with automatic
4494 cleanup. They only work with gcc and clang.
4496 * GListModel is a new interface that represents a dynamic list of GObjects.
4498 * GListStore is a GSequence-based implementation of GListModel.

4945 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4946 =====================================================
4948 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4950 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
4951 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
4952 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
4953 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
4954 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
4955 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
4956 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
4957 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
4958 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
4959 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
4960 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
4962 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
4963 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
4965 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
4969 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()

4988 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4989 =====================================================
4991 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4992 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4993 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4994 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4995 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4996 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4998 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

5251 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5252 ====================================================
5254 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5256 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5258 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5259 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5262 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5263 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5266 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5268 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5270 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5273 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5274 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5276 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5278 * Applications/Actions
5280 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5281 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5284 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5285 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5287 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5288 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5289 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5290 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5294 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5295 accesses that are performed in common situations
5297 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5298 are installed/removed
5300 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5301 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5303 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5304 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5309 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5311 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5312 that test programs don't pick them up
5314 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5316 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5317 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5318 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5319 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5321 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5322 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5324 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5325 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5326 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5330 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5332 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5334 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5336 Translations updated:

5386 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5387 ====================================================
5389 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5393 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5395 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5396 them can restart the application with an action (via
5401 - new API for launching subprocesses
5403 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5405 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5407 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5408 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5410 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5412 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5414 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5415 actions and listing apps and actions
5417 - bash tab completion is supported
5419 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5421 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5422 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5424 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5425 DBusActivatable=true
5427 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5428 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5433 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5435 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5436 class and inotify backend
5438 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5439 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5441 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5446 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5447 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5448 when there are invalid schemas installed
5450 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5454 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5455 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5457 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5460 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5461 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5462 semantics of the interface in each case
5464 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5465 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5467 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5469 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5470 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5471 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5472 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5476 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5479 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5481 * Portability improvements
5483 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5485 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5486 actually support it (like Hurd)
5488 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5490 * Other small API changes/additions
5492 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5493 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5494 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5496 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5498 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5499 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5501 * GMainContext/GSource
5503 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5505 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5506 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5507 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5508 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5509 broken and should probably be fixed.
5511 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5512 require use of a linked list
5516 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5517 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5518 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5520 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5524 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5525 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5526 gphoto, archive, at least).
5528 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5530 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5533 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5534 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5535 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5537 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5539 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5541 * Many documentation improvements

5599 What's new in Glib 2.38
5600 ========================
5602 * Application support
5604 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5605 desktop entry specification
5607 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5608 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5609 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5611 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5612 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5613 to launch other applications
5615 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5616 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5620 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5621 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5622 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5623 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5624 any problems that this may have caused.
5626 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5627 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5628 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5629 (allowing memory savings)
5631 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5632 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5633 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5635 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5636 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5639 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5640 without destroying one of the objects involved
5644 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5645 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5646 with a finite number of cases
5648 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5649 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5651 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5652 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5653 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5654 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5657 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5661 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5662 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5663 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5665 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5667 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5668 and an API to check them
5670 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5671 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5673 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5674 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5678 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5679 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5680 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5683 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5684 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5685 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5687 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5692 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5693 allow for regexp matching on streams
5695 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5696 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5697 g_variant_new_printf()
5701 - we can now generate TAP output
5703 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5704 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5706 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5711 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5834 ==============================================
5836 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5837 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5838 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5839 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
5841 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
5842 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
5845 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
5847 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because

5927 700035 - new API for instance private data
5929 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.1 to 2.37.2
5930 ==============================================
5932 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5933 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5935 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5936 and will trigger a warning.
5939 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5980 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5982 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5984 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5986 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for

6021 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
6022 ==============================================
6024 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
6025 and a parser API for them is now provided
6027 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
6028 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
6029 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

6089 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
6090 ==============================================
6092 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
6093 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
6094 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
6095 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
6096 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
6097 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
6098 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
6099 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
6100 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
6102 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6103 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6104 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6105 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6106 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6108 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
6109 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
6110 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
6111 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
6112 anyone was using it.
6114 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
6116 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
6117 the destination file
6119 - fix some 'available since' annotations
6121 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
6124 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

6127 * Translations updated:
6143 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
6144 ==============================================
6146 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
6147 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
6148 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
6149 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

6203 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
6204 ==============================================
6206 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6207 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6208 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6209 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6210 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report

6241 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
6243 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
6244 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
6246 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
6247 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
6249 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
6262 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6

6269 ready at a specified monotonic time
6271 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked

6393 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6394 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME

6396 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the

6399 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6400 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6401 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in

6449 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6450 ==============================================
6452 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6453 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6454 causing regressions in applications.
6456 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6457 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6458 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6461 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6462 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6463 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6465 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6467 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6469 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6471 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6473 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6475 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6477 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6479 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6481 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6483 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6536 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6537 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6539 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6540 automatically disconnected on target object destruction

7094 * Updated translations:
7121 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
7122 ===============================================
7124 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
7125 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
7126 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
7129 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
7130 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
7131 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
7132 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
7133 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
7134 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
7135 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
7137 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
7138 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
7139 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
7140 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
7141 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
7143 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
7145 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
7147 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7148 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7149 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7150 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7153 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7154 such programs to break.
7156 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7157 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7158 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7160 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7161 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7163 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7165 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7430 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
7431 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
7432 to an overridden property
7433 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
7434 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
7436 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
7437 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

7481 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7482 ==============================================
7484 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7485 moved to GtkApplication.
7487 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7488 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7489 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7490 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7492 * lots of documentation improvements
7494 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7496 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7497 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7499 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7501 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7503 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7505 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7506 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7509 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7510 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

7521 * Translations updated:
7525 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7526 ==============================================
7528 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7529 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7530 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7533 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7534 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7535 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7538 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7539 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7540 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7541 through an idle on the context.
7543 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7544 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7545 fixes here and there.
7547 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7548 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7549 API available outside GLib
7551 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7592 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7593 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7594 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7596 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.

7615 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7616 =================================================
7618 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7619 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7621 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7622 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7623 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7624 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7625 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7626 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7627 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7628 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7629 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7630 required (and has been deprecated)
7631 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7632 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7633 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7634 without explicit initialisation.
7635 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7636 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7637 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7639 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7640 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7641 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7642 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7643 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7644 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7645 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7647 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7648 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7649 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7650 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7651 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7652 - other implementation details changed
7654 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7655 deprecated/ directory.
7657 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7658 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7659 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7661 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7662 platform over a year ago).
7664 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7665 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7667 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7668 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7670 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7671 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7672 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7673 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7676 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7677 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7680 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7682 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7683 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7685 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7686 in a multi-threaded program
7688 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7689 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7692 - drop -uninstalled variants
7693 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7695 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7696 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7697 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7699 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7701 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7702 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7705 - many code generation updates and improvements
7706 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7709 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7710 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7712 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7714 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7717 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7718 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7720 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7721 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7723 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7725 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7729 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7730 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7812 * Translations updates:
7814 Brazilian Portuguese
7841 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
7842 ================================================
7844 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
7845 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
7846 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
7847 GObject depends on libffi now.
7850 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
7851 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
7853 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
7854 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
7855 - check if -lsocket is needed
7856 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
7858 - fix some harmless warnings

8161 ==============================================
8163 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8164 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8165 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8166 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8167 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8168 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8170 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8171 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
8173 * Access to quarks is now lockless
8175 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

8228 * Updated translations:
8237 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8238 ==============================================
8241 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8242 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8243 an 'object manager' pattern:
8244 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8245 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8246 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8247 And server-side implementations:
8248 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8249 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8250 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8254 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8258 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8259 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8260 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8261 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8264 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8265 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8268 * Unix-specific APIs:
8269 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8270 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8271 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8272 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8273 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8274 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8298 * Updated translations
8305 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8306 ==============================================
8309 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8310 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8311 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8314 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8315 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8316 situations has been improved
8319 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8320 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8323 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8324 match strcmp() semantics
8325 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8326 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8327 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8329 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8330 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8333 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8335 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8337 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8338 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8339 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8674 - Support environment passing
8677 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8678 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8680 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8681 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8682 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8686 158725 free linked list with data

8699 * Translation updates:
8705 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8706 ==============================================
8708 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8709 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8711 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8712 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8714 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8716 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8718 g_settings_get_range
8719 g_settings_range_check
8720 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8722 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8723 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8725 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8726 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8728 g_main_context_invoke
8729 g_main_context_invoke_full
8731 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8732 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8733 looking for default applications.
8735 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8736 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8737 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8738 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8740 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8741 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8742 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

9000 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
9001 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9003 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
9004 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
9005 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
9006 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
9009 There have been many other improvements, however:
9012 - vastly improved test coverage
9013 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
9014 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
9015 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
9018 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
9021 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
9022 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage
9023 - improve debug output, add some extra options
9024 - if exiting due to the bus disconnecting us, print an error message
9026 - sort property names correctly
9027 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
9029 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
9032 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
9033 without mapping functions
9034 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
9037 - improve closure support for bindings
9038 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
9041 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility
9044 599590 glib build doesn't look for correct pkg-config

9064 =====================================================
9066 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9067 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
9068 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
9069 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
9070 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9071 | required (and will be along soon). |
9072 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9075 - cleanup automake setup
9076 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
9077 - various docs fixups
9078 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

9082 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
9084 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
9085 - add g_settings_reset()
9086 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties

9132 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
9133 =====================================================
9135 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9136 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
9137 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
9138 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
9139 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
9142 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
9143 -Bsymbolic-functions
9144 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
9145 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
9146 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
9147 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9148 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9151 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9152 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9153 nobody was doing that.
9154 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9156 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9157 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9159 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9160 have a serial number
9161 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9163 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9165 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9166 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9167 has finished running on GDBus services.
9168 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9169 this due to the obvious race)
9170 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9171 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9174 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9175 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9176 arguments and different behaviour
9177 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9178 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9179 strings instead of utf8 strings
9180 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9181 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9182 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9183 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9184 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9185 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9186 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9187 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9188 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9191 - improved documentation
9192 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9193 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9194 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9195 overridden using <override>.
9196 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9198 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9199 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9200 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9201 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9202 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9203 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9204 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9205 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9206 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9207 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9208 being set due to a premature free
9209 - command line tool: bash completion support
9210 - chain up in _finalize
9211 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9213 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9214 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
9215 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
9217 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
9218 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
9219 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
9220 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
9221 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
9225 - always intern GBinding prop names
9226 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
9227 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
9228 - GNode docs improvements
9229 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
9230 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9231 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
9235 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
9236 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
9237 - improved tests for GKeyfile
9238 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
9239 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
9240 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
9241 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
9242 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
9244 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
9245 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
9246 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9247 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
9248 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
9249 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
9250 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
9251 610784 array test failing
9252 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
9253 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name
9254 620913 More control with G_DBUS_DEBUG

9652 ===================================================
9654 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9655 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.

9673 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9674 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9675 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9676 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9678 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9679 when g_type_init() is called.
9681 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9682 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9683 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9685 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9686 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9687 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9688 is a bug in application code.

9868 * Threading changes:
9869 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
9870 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
9872 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9873 when g_type_init() is called.
9874 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
9877 - Another bunch of performance work has landed

9952 ===================================================
9955 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9956 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9957 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9958 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9959 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9960 while loading or saving it.
9961 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9962 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9963 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9966 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9967 interfaces to dynamic types.

10411 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.19.9 to GLib 2.20.0
10412 ===================================================
10414 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10415 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10416 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10417 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10418 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10419 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10420 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10421 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10422 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10423 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10424 object with the given URI.
10426 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316
10429 574019 GChecksum: document and guarantee hex characters in lower case

10706 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10707 ===================================================
10709 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10710 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10711 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10712 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10713 also uses less memory overall.
10715 * Make g_poll available as public api
10717 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10718 that a GError is set or unset
10720 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10722 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10723 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10725 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,

10803 ===================================================
10805 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
10806 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
10807 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
10808 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
10809 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
10810 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

12143 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
12145 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12148 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12149 ==================================================
12151 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12152 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12153 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12154 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12156 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12157 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12159 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12160 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12163 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12164 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12165 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12166 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12167 support ELF visibility attributes.
12169 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12170 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12172 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12173 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12174 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12175 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12176 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12177 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12178 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12179 to help with the transition.

12337 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
12338 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
12341 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
12344 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
12345 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
12346 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
12347 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
12348 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
12349 variants [Martyn Russell]
12352 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
12353 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
12356 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
12359 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12360 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
12361 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
12362 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12363 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12364 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12365 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]

12380 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12381 =================================================
12383 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12384 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12385 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12387 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12388 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12391 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12392 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12393 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12394 "stutter stepping".
12395 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12397 * Memory management:
12398 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12399 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12400 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12401 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12402 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12403 never worked as intended.
12404 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12405 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12406 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12407 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12408 efficient and scalable implementation.
12409 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12411 * Pattern matching:
12412 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12413 unnecessary recursion.
12416 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12417 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12418 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12421 * g_thread_foreach:
12422 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12425 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12426 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12427 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12431 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12432 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12433 since they are in glib.h

12612 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12613 =================================================
12615 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12616 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12617 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12618 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12619 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12620 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12621 included through <glib.h>.
12623 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12624 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12625 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12626 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12627 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12629 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12630 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12631 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12632 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12633 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12635 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12636 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12637 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12638 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12640 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12641 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12642 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12644 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12645 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12646 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12647 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12648 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12649 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12651 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12652 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12653 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12654 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12656 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12657 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12658 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12659 stderr if you need to see them.
12661 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12662 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12663 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12664 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12665 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12666 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12668 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12669 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12670 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12671 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12672 work with future versions of GLib.
12675 - GOption, a commandline option parser
12676 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
12677 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
12678 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
12679 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
12681 * Miscellaneous new functions
12682 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
12683 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
12684 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers

12701 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
12702 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
12703 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
12704 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
