704 Overview of changes in GLib 2.49.1
705 ==================================
707 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
708 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
709 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
710 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
712 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
713 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
714 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
716 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
717 environment variable.
719 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
720 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

880 * the system copy of PCRE is now used by default to implement GRegex.
881 Configure with --with-pcre=internal if a system PCRE version
882 is unavailable or undesired.
884 * interfaces for DTLS support have been added. A new version of
885 glib-networking will also be required.

939 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
940 ==================================
942 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
943 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
944 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
945 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
947 This release corrects only this problem.
949 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
950 ==================================
952 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
953 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
954 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
956 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1302 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1303 ==================================
1305 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1306 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1307 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1308 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1309 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1310 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1312 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1313 have seen major improvements.
1315 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1316 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1317 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1320 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1322 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1324 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1326 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1327 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1328 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1329 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1330 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1331 you use the --strict option.
1333 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1334 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1335 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1337 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1339 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1340 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1341 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1423 Overview of changes in GLib 2.43.92
1424 ===================================
1426 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1427 before the release of 2.44.0.
1429 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1431 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1432 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1433 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1434 default in the next cycle.
1436 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1438 * new GTask:completed property
1440 * use "private" futexes in order to further improve the performance of

1481 ===================================
1483 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro
1484 that calls g_free() on the content of a local variable when it leaves
1485 scope (working only on GCC and clang).
1487 GApplication now has an "is-busy" property, allowing one to query the
1488 effective busy state.

1915 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
1916 and NULL pointer dereferences.
1918 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
1919 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).

2286 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2287 ====================================================
2289 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2291 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2293 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2294 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2297 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2298 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2301 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2303 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2305 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2308 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2309 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2311 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2313 * Applications/Actions
2315 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2316 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2319 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2320 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2322 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2323 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2324 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2325 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2329 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2330 accesses that are performed in common situations
2332 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2333 are installed/removed
2335 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2336 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2338 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2339 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2344 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2346 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2347 that test programs don't pick them up
2349 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2351 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2352 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2353 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2354 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2356 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2357 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2359 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2360 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2361 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2365 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2367 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2369 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
2371 Translations updated:

2421 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2422 ====================================================
2424 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2428 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2430 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2431 them can restart the application with an action (via
2436 - new API for launching subprocesses
2438 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2440 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2442 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2443 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2445 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2447 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2449 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2450 actions and listing apps and actions
2452 - bash tab completion is supported
2454 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2456 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2457 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2459 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2460 DBusActivatable=true
2462 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2463 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2468 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2470 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2471 class and inotify backend
2473 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2474 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2476 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2481 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2482 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2483 when there are invalid schemas installed
2485 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2489 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2490 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2492 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2495 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2496 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2497 semantics of the interface in each case
2499 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2500 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2502 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2504 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2505 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2506 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2507 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2511 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2514 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2516 * Portability improvements
2518 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2520 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2521 actually support it (like Hurd)
2523 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2525 * Other small API changes/additions
2527 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2528 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2529 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2531 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2533 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2534 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2536 * GMainContext/GSource
2538 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2540 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2541 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2542 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2543 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2544 broken and should probably be fixed.
2546 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2547 require use of a linked list
2551 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2552 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2553 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2555 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2559 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2560 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2561 gphoto, archive, at least).
2563 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2565 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2568 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2569 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2570 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2572 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2574 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2576 * Many documentation improvements
2579 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2580 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2581 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

2634 What's new in Glib 2.38
2635 ========================
2637 * Application support
2639 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
2640 desktop entry specification
2642 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
2643 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
2644 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
2646 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
2647 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
2648 to launch other applications
2650 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
2651 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
2655 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
2656 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
2657 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
2658 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
2659 any problems that this may have caused.
2661 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
2662 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
2663 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
2664 (allowing memory savings)
2666 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
2667 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
2668 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
2670 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
2671 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
2674 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
2675 without destroying one of the objects involved
2679 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
2680 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
2681 with a finite number of cases
2683 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
2684 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
2686 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
2687 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
2688 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
2689 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
2692 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
2696 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
2697 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
2698 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
2700 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
2702 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
2703 and an API to check them
2705 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
2706 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
2708 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
2709 with most functions, but this is not recommended
2713 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
2714 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
2715 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
2718 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
2719 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
2720 particular directory (akin to 'du').
2722 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
2727 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
2728 allow for regexp matching on streams
2730 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
2731 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
2732 g_variant_new_printf()
2736 - we can now generate TAP output
2738 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
2739 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
2741 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
2746 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

2868 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
2869 ==============================================
2871 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
2872 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
2873 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
2874 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
2876 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
2877 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
2880 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
2882 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
2883 the key was locked down)

3056 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3057 ==============================================
3059 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3060 and a parser API for them is now provided
3062 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3063 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3064 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3124 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
3125 ==============================================
3127 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3129 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3130 the destination file
3132 - fix some 'available since' annotations
3134 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code

3156 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
3157 ==============================================
3159 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3160 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3161 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3162 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3216 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3217 ==============================================
3219 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3220 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3221 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3222 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3223 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3227 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
3228 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
3230 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()

3251 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.6 to 2.35.7
3252 ==============================================
3254 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3256 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3257 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3259 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3260 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3262 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3275 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3276 ==============================================
3278 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3281 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3282 ready at a specified monotonic time
3284 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3286 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3289 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3290 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3403 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3404 ==============================================
3406 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3407 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3408 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3409 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3410 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3412 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3413 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3414 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3415 particular, are incompatible.
3417 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3462 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3463 ==============================================
3465 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3466 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3467 causing regressions in applications.
3469 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3470 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3471 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3474 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3475 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3476 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3478 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3480 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3482 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3484 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3486 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3488 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3490 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3492 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3494 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3496 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3546 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3547 ==============================================
3549 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3550 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3552 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3553 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3555 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3557 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3559 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3561 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3563 * GLib version macros updated
3565 * Update to Unicode 6.2
3567 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
3569 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
3571 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names
3573 * Fix crashes related to NULL connection passed to
3574 GBusNameVanishedCallback and document this situation

4390 ==============================================
4393 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4394 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4395 to an overridden property
4396 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4397 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4399 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4400 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains
4402 * GSocketConnection has gained API for managing connection status

4444 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4445 ==============================================
4447 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4448 moved to GtkApplication.
4450 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4451 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4452 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4453 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4455 * lots of documentation improvements
4457 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4459 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4460 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4462 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4464 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4466 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4468 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4469 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4472 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4473 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4477 666113 various leaks in GLib, GIO are visible in the regression tests
4478 666115 various tests leak memory, obscuring real leaks in the library

4484 * Translations updated:
4488 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4489 ==============================================
4491 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4492 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4493 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4496 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4497 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4498 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4501 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4502 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4503 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4504 through an idle on the context.
4506 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4507 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4508 fixes here and there.
4510 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4511 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4512 API available outside GLib
4514 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4555 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4556 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4557 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4559 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4562 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4563 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection

4578 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4579 =================================================
4581 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4582 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4584 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4585 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4586 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4587 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4588 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4589 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4590 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4591 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4592 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4593 required (and has been deprecated)
4594 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4595 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4596 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4597 without explicit initialisation.
4598 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4599 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4600 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4602 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4603 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4604 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4605 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4606 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4607 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4608 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4610 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4611 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
4612 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
4613 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
4614 - GThread is now a refcounted type
4615 - other implementation details changed
4617 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
4618 deprecated/ directory.
4620 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
4621 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
4622 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
4624 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
4625 platform over a year ago).
4627 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
4628 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
4630 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
4631 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
4633 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
4634 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
4635 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
4636 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
4639 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
4640 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
4643 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
4645 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
4646 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
4648 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
4649 in a multi-threaded program
4651 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
4652 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
4655 - drop -uninstalled variants
4656 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
4658 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
4659 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
4660 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
4662 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
4664 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
4665 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
4668 - many code generation updates and improvements
4669 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
4672 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
4673 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
4675 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
4677 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
4680 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
4681 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
4683 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
4684 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
4686 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
4688 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
4692 * Partial list of bugs closed:
4693 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

4804 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
4805 ================================================
4808 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
4809 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
4811 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
4812 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
4813 - check if -lsocket is needed
4814 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
4816 - fix some harmless warnings
4818 * GDateTime improvements:
4819 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
4820 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w

5119 ==============================================
5121 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5122 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5123 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5124 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5125 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5126 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5128 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5129 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5131 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5133 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

5186 * Updated translations:
5195 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5196 ==============================================
5199 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5200 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5201 an 'object manager' pattern:
5202 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5203 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5204 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5205 And server-side implementations:
5206 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5207 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5208 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5212 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5216 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5217 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5218 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5219 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5222 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5223 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5226 * Unix-specific APIs:
5227 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5228 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5229 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5230 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5231 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5232 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5256 * Updated translations
5263 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5264 ==============================================
5267 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5268 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5269 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5272 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5273 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5274 situations has been improved
5277 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5278 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5281 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5282 match strcmp() semantics
5283 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5284 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5285 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5287 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5288 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5291 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5293 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5295 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5296 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5297 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

5631 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
5632 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
5634 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
5635 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
5636 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

5653 * Translation updates:
5659 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
5660 ==============================================
5662 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
5663 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
5665 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
5666 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
5668 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
5670 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
5672 g_settings_get_range
5673 g_settings_range_check
5674 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
5676 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
5677 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
5679 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
5680 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
5682 g_main_context_invoke
5683 g_main_context_invoke_full
5685 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
5686 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
5687 looking for default applications.
5689 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
5690 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
5691 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
5692 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
5694 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
5695 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
5696 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

5954 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
5955 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5957 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
5958 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
5959 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
5960 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
5963 There have been many other improvements, however:
5966 - vastly improved test coverage
5967 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
5968 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
5969 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
5972 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
5975 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages

5987 without mapping functions
5988 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
5991 - improve closure support for bindings
5992 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
5995 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

6020 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6021 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6022 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6023 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6024 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6025 | required (and will be along soon). |

6086 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6087 =====================================================
6089 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6090 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6091 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6092 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6093 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6096 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6097 -Bsymbolic-functions
6098 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6099 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6100 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6101 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6102 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6105 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6106 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6107 nobody was doing that.
6108 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6110 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6111 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6113 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6114 have a serial number
6115 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6117 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6119 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6120 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6121 has finished running on GDBus services.
6122 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6123 this due to the obvious race)
6124 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6125 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6128 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6129 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6130 arguments and different behaviour
6131 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6132 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6133 strings instead of utf8 strings
6134 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6135 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6136 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6137 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6138 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6139 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6140 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6141 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6142 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6145 - improved documentation
6146 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6147 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6148 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6149 overridden using <override>.
6150 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6152 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6153 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6154 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6155 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6156 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6157 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6158 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6159 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6160 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6161 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6162 being set due to a premature free
6163 - command line tool: bash completion support
6164 - chain up in _finalize
6165 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6167 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6168 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6169 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6171 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6172 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6173 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6174 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6175 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6179 - always intern GBinding prop names
6180 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6181 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6182 - GNode docs improvements
6183 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6184 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6185 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6189 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6190 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6191 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6192 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6193 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6194 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6195 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6196 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6198 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6199 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6200 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6201 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6202 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6203 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6204 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6205 610784 array test failing
6206 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6207 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

6896 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
6897 while loading or saving it.
6898 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
6899 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
6900 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
6903 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
6904 interfaces to dynamic types.

7631 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

7634 also uses less memory overall.

7639 that a GError is set or unset
7641 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
7643 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
7644 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
7646 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
7647 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
