1 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.11 to GLib 2.25.12
2 =====================================================
4 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
5 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
7 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
8 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
9 | required (and will be along soon). |
10 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

68 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
69 =====================================================
71 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
72 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
73 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
74 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
75 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
78 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
80 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
81 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
82 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
83 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
84 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
87 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
88 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
89 nobody was doing that.
90 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
92 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
93 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
95 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
97 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
99 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
101 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
102 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
103 has finished running on GDBus services.
104 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
105 this due to the obvious race)
106 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
107 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
110 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
111 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
112 arguments and different behaviour
113 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
114 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
115 strings instead of utf8 strings
116 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
117 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
118 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
119 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
120 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
121 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
122 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
123 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
124 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
127 - improved documentation
128 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
129 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
130 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
131 overridden using <override>.
132 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
134 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
135 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
136 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
137 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
138 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
139 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
140 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
141 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
142 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
143 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
144 being set due to a premature free
145 - command line tool: bash completion support
146 - chain up in _finalize
147 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
149 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
150 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
151 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
153 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
154 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
155 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
156 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
157 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
161 - always intern GBinding prop names
162 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
163 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
164 - GNode docs improvements
165 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
166 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
167 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
171 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
172 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
173 - improved tests for GKeyfile
174 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
175 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
176 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
177 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
178 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
180 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
181 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
182 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
183 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
184 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
185 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
186 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
187 610784 array test failing
188 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation

881 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
882 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
885 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
886 interfaces to dynamic types.

1610 ===================================================
1612 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
1613 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

1616 also uses less memory overall.

1621 that a GError is set or unset
1623 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
1625 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
1626 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
1628 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
1629 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

3267 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
3268 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
3269 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
3270 efficient and scalable implementation.
3271 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
3274 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
3275 unnecessary recursion.

3287 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
3288 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
3289 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
3293 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
3294 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
