253 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
254 ==================================
256 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
257 which makes error checking easier (#553)
259 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
260 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
261 variables, or mostly anything else (see
262 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)

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

1404 Overview of changes in GLib 2.61.2
1405 ==================================
1407 * Add various new array functions (#236, #269, #373)
1409 - `g_ptr_array_copy()`
1410 - `g_ptr_array_extend()`
1411 - `g_ptr_array_extend_and_steal()`
1412 - `g_array_binary_search()`
1414 * Add `g_assert_finalize_object()` helper function for writing tests (#488)
1416 * Rework how D-Bus connections are closed/unreffed when `g_test_dbus_down()` is
1417 called. Tests which leak a `GDBusConnection` may now time out and abort,
1418 rather than silently leaking. (#787)
1420 * Add a deprecation macro for GLib macros, and use it; third-party uses of
1421 long-deprecated GLib macros may now start causing warnings. (#1060)
1423 * Deprecate `GTime` and `GTimeVal`, and various functions which use them.
1424 Use `GDateTime` and `guint64` UNIX timestamps instead. (#1438)
1426 * Stop using `G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED` to allow disabling deprecation warnings;
1427 third-party code should now be using
1428 `GLIB_VERSION_{MIN_REQUIRED, MAX_ALLOWED}` to control symbol usage (!871)
1430 * Improve support for running `ninja test` when GLib is built statically (#1648)
1432 * Improve `GNetworkMonitor` detection of offline states (#1788)
1434 * Fix build failure on macOS related to missing `_g_content_type_get_mime_dirs`
1437 * Add various installed utilities’ paths to `gio-2.0.pc` (#1796)
1439 * Fix keyfile `GSettings` backend and portal (especially relevant to any version
1440 of GLib included in a flatpak runtime) (#1822, !985)
1442 * More IPv6 ‘Happy Eyeballs’ fixes in `GNetworkAddress` (!865)
1444 * Fix CVE-2019-12450, wide permissions of files when copying using GIO (!876)
1446 * Bump the Meson dependency from 0.48.0 to 0.49.2; we won’t depend on anything
1447 higher than this for a while, as Debian 10 ships 0.49 (!924)
1449 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
1451 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
1452 of packaged libraries (!951)
1454 * Add experimental clang-cl support on Windows, allowing `g_autoptr()` support

1613 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
1614 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

1996 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
1997 ==================================
1999 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
2000 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
2001 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
2002 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
2004 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
2005 directory for each unit test. (#538)
2007 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
2009 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
2011 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
2013 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
2014 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
2015 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
2016 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
2018 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
2019 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
2021 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
2022 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
2023 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
2025 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
2027 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
2028 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
2031 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
2032 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
2034 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
2035 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
2036 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
2038 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
2039 portal backends. (!317)
2041 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
2044 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
2046 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
2049 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
2051 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
2054 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
2055 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
2056 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
2058 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
2059 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
2061 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
2062 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
2063 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
2064 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
2066 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
2068 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

2277 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
2278 ==================================
2280 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
2281 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
2282 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
2283 with Meson or autotools. See:
2284 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
2286 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
2288 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
2289 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
2291 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
2293 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
2295 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
2296 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
2297 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
2298 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.
2301 !280 meson: Always set G_MODULE_SUFFIX to `so` on macOS
2302 !266 subprocess: Fix communicate_cancelled signature
2303 !279 Revert "Add a gnet utility" (see !265)
2304 !265 Network monitor again
2305 !274 gio: Provide schemas directory information in pkg-config file
2306 !239 gvariant: Fix more bounds checking in GVariant text format parser
2307 !195 garray: add overflow checks before expanding array
2308 #1497 g_strdup_printf warns on invalid format specifier with G_GUINT64_FORMAT on Win32
2309 !270 autotools: remove support for the __int64 type. See #1313
2310 !267 ci: Add an autotools job
2312 * Translation updates:
2322 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
2323 ==================================
2325 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
2326 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
2327 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
2328 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
2330 * Many minor documentation fixes.
2332 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
2334 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
2336 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
2338 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
2339 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
2341 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
2343 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
2344 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
2345 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
2348 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
2350 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.
2353 !263 build: Clean files left behind after gio/tests/gresource.c test
2354 !262 gmem: Only evaluate pointer argument to g_clear_pointer() once
2355 #1465 Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC are incorrect
2356 #1448 g_error does not abort() as documented
2357 #1494 g_clear_pointer may not use the correct calling convention with its callback
2358 #972 Mismatch between gint64 and int64_t on 64-bit macOS/BSD

2388 #1446 Follow-up from "Document difference between g_assert() and g_assert_*() wrt G_DISABLE_ASSERT"

3533 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer

3537 environment variable.

3763 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
3764 ==================================
3766 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
3767 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
3768 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
3769 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
3771 This release corrects only this problem.
3773 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
3774 ==================================
3776 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
3777 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
3778 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
3780 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

3869 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
3870 ==================================
3872 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
3873 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
3874 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
3875 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
3876 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
3879 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
3880 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
3881 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
3882 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
3883 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
3884 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
3885 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

4141 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
4142 ==================================
4144 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
4145 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
4146 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
4147 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
4148 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
4149 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
4151 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
4152 have seen major improvements.
4154 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
4155 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
4156 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
4159 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
4161 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
4163 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
4165 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
4166 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
4167 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
4168 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
4169 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
4170 you use the --strict option.
4172 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
4173 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
4174 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
4176 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
4178 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
4179 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
4180 default handlers for a generic supertype.

4226 ===================================
4228 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
4229 before the release of 2.44.0.
4231 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
4233 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
4234 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
4235 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
4236 default in the next cycle.
4238 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO

4339 ==================================
4341 * GType now has type declaration macros G_DECLARE_DERIVABLE_TYPE,
4342 G_DECLARE_FINAL_TYPE and G_DECLARE_INTERFACE, which significantly reduce
4343 the boilerplate needed for GObject types and interfaces.

4797 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
4798 =====================================================
4800 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
4802 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
4803 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
4804 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
4805 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
4806 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
4807 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
4808 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
4809 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
4810 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
4811 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
4812 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
4814 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
4815 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
4817 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
4821 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
4822 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

4840 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
4841 =====================================================
4843 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
4844 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
4845 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
4846 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
4847 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
4848 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
4850 New API: g_str_to_ascii()
4853 670144 unconditional use of CLOCK_MONOTONIC is broken

5096 * Translations updates:
5103 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
5104 ====================================================
5106 * GSettings fixes/improvements
5108 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
5110 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
5111 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
5114 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
5115 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
5118 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
5120 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
5122 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
5125 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
5126 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
5128 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
5130 * Applications/Actions
5132 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
5133 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
5136 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
5137 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
5139 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
5140 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
5141 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
5142 not itself at fault for the errant call)
5146 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
5147 accesses that are performed in common situations
5149 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
5150 are installed/removed
5152 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
5153 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
5155 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
5156 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
5161 - ignore qualified tags, as above
5163 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
5164 that test programs don't pick them up
5166 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
5168 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
5169 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
5170 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
5171 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
5173 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
5174 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
5176 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
5177 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
5178 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
5182 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
5184 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
5186 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
5188 Translations updated:
5196 635641 schema compiler should ignore unknown attributes

5204 683017 API for accessing GSettings Schema metadata

5206 687202 If trashing fails, the ".trashinfo" file is not removed
5207 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
5208 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

5238 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
5239 ====================================================
5241 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
5245 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
5247 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
5248 them can restart the application with an action (via
5253 - new API for launching subprocesses
5255 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
5257 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
5259 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
5260 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
5262 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
5264 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
5266 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
5267 actions and listing apps and actions
5269 - bash tab completion is supported
5271 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
5273 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
5274 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
5276 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
5277 DBusActivatable=true
5279 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
5280 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
5285 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
5287 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
5288 class and inotify backend
5290 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
5291 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
5293 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
5298 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
5299 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
5300 when there are invalid schemas installed
5302 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
5306 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
5307 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
5309 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
5312 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
5313 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
5314 semantics of the interface in each case
5316 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
5317 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
5319 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
5321 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
5322 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
5323 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
5324 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
5328 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
5331 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
5333 * Portability improvements
5335 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
5337 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
5338 actually support it (like Hurd)
5340 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
5342 * Other small API changes/additions
5344 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
5345 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
5346 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
5348 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
5350 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
5351 G_LOG_ERROR messages
5353 * GMainContext/GSource
5355 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
5357 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
5358 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
5359 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
5360 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
5361 broken and should probably be fixed.
5363 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
5364 require use of a linked list
5368 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
5369 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
5370 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
5372 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
5376 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
5377 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
5378 gphoto, archive, at least).
5380 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
5382 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
5385 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
5386 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
5387 (which shared exactly the same bug)
5389 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
5391 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
5393 * Many documentation improvements
5396 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing

5451 What's new in Glib 2.38
5452 ========================
5454 * Application support
5456 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
5457 desktop entry specification
5459 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
5460 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
5461 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
5463 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
5464 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
5465 to launch other applications
5467 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
5468 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
5472 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
5473 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
5474 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
5475 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
5476 any problems that this may have caused.
5478 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
5479 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
5480 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
5481 (allowing memory savings)
5483 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
5484 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
5485 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
5487 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
5488 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
5491 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
5492 without destroying one of the objects involved
5496 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
5497 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
5498 with a finite number of cases
5500 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
5501 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
5503 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
5504 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
5505 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
5506 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
5509 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
5513 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
5514 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
5515 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
5517 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
5519 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
5520 and an API to check them
5522 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
5523 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
5525 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
5526 with most functions, but this is not recommended
5530 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
5531 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
5532 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
5535 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
5536 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
5537 particular directory (akin to 'du').
5539 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
5544 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
5545 allow for regexp matching on streams
5547 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
5548 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
5549 g_variant_new_printf()
5553 - we can now generate TAP output
5555 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
5556 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
5558 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
5563 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

5688 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
5689 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
5690 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
5691 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

5762 * fix timestamps in tarball to prevent automake from being required to
5763 build the unmodified source
5765 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
5767 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
5768 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
5769 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
5776 698375 - D-Bus async properties

5782 ==============================================
5784 * The GLib test utilities have grown some file-related APIs
5785 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
5787 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
5788 and will trigger a warning.
5791 - Support org.freedesktop.Application, including D-Bus activation

5825 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
5826 ==============================================
5828 * add support for installed tests:
5829 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
5831 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
5832 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
5834 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
5836 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
5838 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
5839 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
5840 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
5842 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

5873 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
5874 ==============================================
5876 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
5877 and a parser API for them is now provided
5879 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
5880 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
5881 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

5941 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
5942 ==============================================
5944 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
5945 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
5946 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
5947 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
5948 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
5949 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
5950 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
5951 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
5952 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
5954 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
5955 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
5956 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
5957 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
5958 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
5960 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
5961 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
5962 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
5963 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
5964 anyone was using it.
5966 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
5968 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
5969 the destination file
5971 - fix some 'available since' annotations

5996 ==============================================
5998 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
5999 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly

6056 ==============================================
6058 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
6059 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
6060 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
6061 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
6062 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
6066 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
6067 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
6069 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
6070 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
6071 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class
6072 * documentation fixes
6073 * gnetworkaddress: preserve IPv6 scope ID in IP literals
6076 691105 Allow GSocketClient to override GProxyResolver for per client proxy settings.

6227 * Translation updates:
6242 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
6243 ==============================================
6245 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
6246 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
6247 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
6248 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
6249 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
6251 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
6252 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
6253 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
6254 particular, are incompatible.
6256 * Bugs fixed in this release:

6290 * Translation updates:
6301 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
6302 ==============================================
6304 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
6305 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
6306 causing regressions in applications.
6308 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
6309 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
6310 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
6313 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
6314 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
6315 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
6317 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
6319 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
6321 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
6323 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
6325 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
6327 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
6329 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
6331 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
6333 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
6335 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

6386 ==============================================
6388 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
6389 give feedback if they cause trouble:
6391 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
6392 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
6394 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
6396 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

6946 * Updated translations:
6973 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
6974 ===============================================
6976 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
6977 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
6978 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
6981 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
6982 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
6983 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
6984 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
6985 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
6986 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
6987 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
6989 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
6990 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
6991 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
6992 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
6993 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
6995 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
6997 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
6999 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
7000 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
7001 private). This means that programs got away with calling
7002 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
7005 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
7006 such programs to break.
7008 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
7009 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
7010 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
7012 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
7013 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
7015 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2
7017 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all

7323 * Updated translations
7333 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
7334 ==============================================
7336 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
7337 moved to GtkApplication.
7339 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
7340 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
7341 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
7342 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
7344 * lots of documentation improvements
7346 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
7348 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
7349 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
7351 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
7353 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
7355 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
7357 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
7358 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
7361 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
7362 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing
7363 664699 glib: documentation fixes
7364 665737 acquire/release gdk threads lock on incoming dbus
7365 665879 GBytes: add a size argument to g_bytes_get_data
7366 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
7367 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library
7368 666145 Doc could be more explicite that g_thread_init calls can be droped
7369 666173 Configure warning - linux/netlink.h usability... no
7370 666296 Race condition in g_thread_xp_get_srwlock
7371 666415 Settings tools should allow specifying a schema directory
7373 * Translations updated:
7377 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
7378 ==============================================
7380 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
7381 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
7382 There have also been many related improvements to action group
7385 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
7386 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
7387 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
7390 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
7391 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
7392 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
7393 through an idle on the context.
7395 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
7396 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
7397 fixes here and there.
7399 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
7400 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
7401 API available outside GLib
7403 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

7438 ==============================================
7440 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
7442 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
7444 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
7445 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
7446 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
7448 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
7451 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
7452 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
7453 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
7456 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
7457 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore

7465 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
7467 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
7468 =================================================
7470 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
7471 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
7473 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
7474 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
7475 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
7476 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
7477 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
7478 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
7479 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
7480 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
7481 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
7482 required (and has been deprecated)
7483 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
7484 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
7485 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
7486 without explicit initialisation.
7487 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
7488 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
7489 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
7491 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
7492 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
7493 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
7494 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
7495 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
7496 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
7497 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
7499 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
7500 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
7501 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
7502 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
7503 - GThread is now a refcounted type
7504 - other implementation details changed
7506 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
7507 deprecated/ directory.
7509 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
7510 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
7511 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
7513 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
7514 platform over a year ago).
7516 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
7517 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
7519 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
7520 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
7522 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
7523 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
7524 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
7525 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
7528 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
7529 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
7532 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
7534 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
7535 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
7537 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
7538 in a multi-threaded program
7540 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
7541 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
7544 - drop -uninstalled variants
7545 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
7547 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
7548 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
7549 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
7551 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
7553 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
7554 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
7557 - many code generation updates and improvements
7558 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
7561 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
7562 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
7564 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
7566 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
7569 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
7570 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
7572 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
7573 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
7575 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
7577 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
7581 * Partial list of bugs closed:
7582 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

7666 Brazilian Portuguese
7693 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
7694 ================================================
7696 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
7697 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
7698 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
7699 GObject depends on libffi now.

8013 ==============================================
8015 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
8016 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
8017 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
8018 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
8019 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
8020 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
8022 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
8023 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.

8080 * Updated translations:
8089 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
8090 ==============================================
8093 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
8094 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
8095 an 'object manager' pattern:
8096 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
8097 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
8098 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
8099 And server-side implementations:
8100 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
8101 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
8102 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
8106 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
8110 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
8111 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
8112 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
8113 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
8116 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
8117 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
8120 * Unix-specific APIs:
8121 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
8122 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
8123 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
8124 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
8125 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
8126 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

8157 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
8158 ==============================================
8161 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
8162 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
8163 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
8166 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
8167 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
8168 situations has been improved
8171 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
8172 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
8175 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
8176 match strcmp() semantics
8177 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
8178 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
8179 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
8181 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
8182 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
8185 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
8187 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
8189 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
8190 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
8191 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

8472 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.2 to 2.27.3
8473 ==============================================
8475 * The GTimeSpec type that was introduced in the 2.27.2 has been
8476 dropped again in favour of APIs that return microseconds as
8481 g_get_monotonic_time
8483 The similar GTimeVal struct is still around, but its use is
8486 * GTimer is now using monotonic time unconditionally
8488 * There are some new functions to facilitate error reporting
8490 g_simple_async_result_take_error
8491 g_simple_async_result_new_take_error
8492 g_simple_async_report_take_gerror_in_idle
8494 * There is new convenience API to us GVariant dictionaries:
8497 * It is now possible to delay sending match rules to the
8498 D-Bus daemon in GDBus:
8499 G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NO_MATCH_RULE
8501 * Support has been added for XDG_RUNTIME_DIR:
8502 g_get_user_runtime_dir
8504 * Various fixes for Win64/MSVC builds have been committed
8507 620263 Add g_clear_object, g_clear_pointer, g_clear_boxed

8521 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.1 to 2.27.2
8522 ==============================================
8525 - Export actions over DBus and support activating them from remote instances
8526 - Support environment passing
8529 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
8530 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
8532 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
8533 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
8534 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has
8538 158725 free linked list with data
8539 626320 GVariant: Avoid locking in g_variant_get_child_value() if possible
8540 629247 add gsimpleasyncresult methods to take over a GError

8548 633339 support more complex gapplication setups
8549 633356 Make timeout G_MAXINT mean "no timeout"
8551 * Translation updates:
8557 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
8558 ==============================================
8560 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
8561 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
8563 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
8564 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
8566 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
8568 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
8570 g_settings_get_range
8571 g_settings_range_check
8572 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
8574 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
8575 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
8577 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
8578 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
8580 g_main_context_invoke
8581 g_main_context_invoke_full
8583 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
8584 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
8585 looking for default applications.
8587 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
8588 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
8589 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
8590 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
8592 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
8593 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
8594 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

8851 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8852 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
8853 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8855 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
8856 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
8857 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
8858 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
8861 There have been many other improvements, however:
8864 - vastly improved test coverage
8865 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
8866 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
8867 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

8916 =====================================================
8918 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8919 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
8920 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
8921 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8922 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
8923 | required (and will be along soon). |
8924 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8927 - cleanup automake setup
8928 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
8929 - various docs fixups
8930 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

8947 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given
8948 - constness fixes for introspection structures
8949 - clean ups to subtree registration API
8952 - fix divide by zero bug in g_malloc_n functions

8985 =====================================================
8987 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8988 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
8989 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
8990 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
8991 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
8994 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
8995 -Bsymbolic-functions
8996 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
8997 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
8998 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
8999 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
9000 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
9003 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
9004 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
9005 nobody was doing that.
9006 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
9008 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
9009 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
9011 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
9012 have a serial number
9013 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
9015 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
9017 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
9018 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
9019 has finished running on GDBus services.
9020 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
9021 this due to the obvious race)
9022 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
9023 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
9026 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
9027 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
9028 arguments and different behaviour
9029 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
9030 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
9031 strings instead of utf8 strings
9032 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
9033 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
9034 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
9035 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
9036 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
9037 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
9038 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
9039 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
9040 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
9043 - improved documentation
9044 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
9045 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
9046 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
9047 overridden using <override>.
9048 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
9050 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
9051 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
9052 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
9053 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
9054 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
9055 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
9056 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
9057 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
9058 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
9059 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
9060 being set due to a premature free
9061 - command line tool: bash completion support
9062 - chain up in _finalize
9063 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
9065 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
9066 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails

9503 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
9504 ===================================================
9506 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
9507 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
9508 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
9509 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
9510 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.
9512 * Translation updates:
9522 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
9523 ===================================================
9525 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
9526 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
9527 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
9528 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
9530 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9531 when g_type_init() is called.
9533 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
9534 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
9535 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
9537 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
9538 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
9539 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
9540 is a bug in application code.

9605 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
9606 - The parser will be in a future release.
9609 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)

9714 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
9716 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
9717 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
9718 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
9720 * Threading changes:
9721 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
9722 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
9724 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
9725 when g_type_init() is called.
9726 - Thread-safety issues with boxed types in GObject have been fixed.
9729 - Another bunch of performance work has landed
9732 - GVariantType has been merged, with the rest of the GVariant

9803 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.22.x to GLib 2.23.0
9804 ===================================================
9807 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
9808 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
9809 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
9810 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
9811 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
9812 while loading or saving it.
9813 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
9814 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
9815 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
9818 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
9819 interfaces to dynamic types.
9822 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
9823 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
9824 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

10181 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
10182 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on
10184 - New types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and
10185 UNIX domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code
10186 for actual socket I/O.
10187 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
10188 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
10190 * Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double

10264 ===================================================
10266 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
10267 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
10268 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
10269 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
10270 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
10271 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
10272 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
10273 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
10274 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
10275 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
10276 object with the given URI.
10278 * Base64 support: Avoid integer overflows. CVE-2008-4316

10558 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
10559 ===================================================
10561 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
10562 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
10563 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
10564 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
10565 also uses less memory overall.
10567 * Make g_poll available as public api
10569 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
10570 that a GError is set or unset
10572 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
10574 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
10575 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
10577 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
10578 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

10654 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.17.7 to GLib 2.18.0
10655 ===================================================
10657 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
10658 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
10659 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
10660 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
10661 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
10662 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

11994 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
11995 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
11997 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
12000 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
12001 ==================================================
12003 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
12004 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
12005 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
12006 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
12008 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
12009 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
12011 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
12012 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
12015 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
12016 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
12017 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
12018 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
12019 support ELF visibility attributes.
12021 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
12022 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
12024 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
12025 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
12026 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
12027 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
12028 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
12029 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
12030 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
12031 to help with the transition.

12211 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
12212 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
12213 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
12214 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
12215 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
12216 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
12217 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
12218 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]

12232 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
12233 =================================================
12235 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
12236 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
12237 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
12239 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
12240 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
12243 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
12244 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
12245 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
12246 "stutter stepping".
12247 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
12249 * Memory management:
12250 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
12251 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
12252 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
12253 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
12254 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
12255 never worked as intended.
12256 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
12257 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
12258 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
12259 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
12260 efficient and scalable implementation.
12261 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
12263 * Pattern matching:
12264 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
12265 unnecessary recursion.
12268 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
12269 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
12270 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
12273 * g_thread_foreach:
12274 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
12277 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
12278 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
12279 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
12283 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
12284 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
12285 since they are in glib.h

12304 v_long, not v_int, in order to work on bigendian
12306 * Make g_flags_get_first_value() handle a value
12307 of 0 meaningfully. [Tim-Philipp Müller]

12464 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
12465 =================================================
12467 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
12468 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
12469 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
12470 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
12471 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
12472 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
12473 included through <glib.h>.
12475 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
12476 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
12477 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
12478 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
12479 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
12481 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
12482 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
12483 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
12484 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
12485 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
12487 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
12488 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
12489 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
12490 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
12492 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
12493 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
12494 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
12496 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
12497 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
12498 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
12499 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
12500 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
12501 header files and were never intended to be exported.
12503 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
12504 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
12505 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
12506 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
12508 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
12509 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
12510 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
12511 stderr if you need to see them.
12513 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
12514 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
12515 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
12516 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
12517 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
12518 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
12520 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
12521 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
12522 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
12523 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
12524 work with future versions of GLib.
12527 - GOption, a commandline option parser
12528 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
12529 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
12530 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
12531 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
12533 * Miscellaneous new functions
12534 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
12535 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
12536 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
12537 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
12538 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
12539 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
12540 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
12541 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
12542 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime
12543 - g_debug() completes the family of logging functions

12549 - Get rid of many PLT entries for internally used exported symbols
12550 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
12553 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
12554 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
12555 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
12556 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
12557 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
12558 - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols
