1093 ==================================
1095 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
1096 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
1097 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
1098 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
1100 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
1101 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
1102 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
1104 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
1105 environment variable.
1107 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
1108 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

1327 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
1328 ==================================
1330 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
1331 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
1332 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
1333 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
1335 This release corrects only this problem.
1337 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
1338 ==================================
1340 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
1341 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
1342 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
1344 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

1690 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
1691 ==================================
1693 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
1694 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
1695 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
1696 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
1697 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
1698 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
1700 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
1701 have seen major improvements.
1703 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
1704 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
1705 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
1708 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
1710 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
1712 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
1714 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
1715 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
1716 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
1717 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
1718 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
1719 you use the --strict option.
1721 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
1722 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
1723 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
1725 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
1727 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
1728 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
1729 default handlers for a generic supertype.

1812 ===================================
1814 GLib is now considered frozen. We do not expect any major changes
1815 before the release of 2.44.0.
1817 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
1819 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
1820 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
1821 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
1822 default in the next cycle.
1824 * new support for HTTP proxies in GIO
1826 * new GTask:completed property

1869 ===================================
1871 We have now added 'g_autofree' as a libgsystem-style autocleanup macro

2301 ===================================
2303 * Many bugfixes found by static analysis, including potential fd leaks
2304 and NULL pointer dereferences.
2306 * Increased use of (nullable) attribute on out values and return types
2307 now that it is supported (mostly from porting Vala metadata).

2321 when gobject is used from a module for a program that does not itself
2322 use gobject and that module is unloaded/reloaded
2324 * ... and many other bug fixes.

2417 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
2418 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
2419 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.

2674 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
2675 ====================================================
2677 * GSettings fixes/improvements
2679 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
2681 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
2682 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
2685 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
2686 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
2689 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
2691 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
2693 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
2696 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
2697 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
2699 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
2701 * Applications/Actions
2703 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
2704 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
2707 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
2708 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
2710 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
2711 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
2712 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
2713 not itself at fault for the errant call)
2717 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
2718 accesses that are performed in common situations
2720 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
2721 are installed/removed
2723 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
2724 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
2726 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
2727 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
2732 - ignore qualified tags, as above
2734 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
2735 that test programs don't pick them up
2737 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
2739 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
2740 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
2741 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
2742 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
2744 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
2745 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
2747 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
2748 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
2749 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
2753 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
2755 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
2757 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction

2809 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
2810 ====================================================
2812 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
2816 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
2818 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
2819 them can restart the application with an action (via
2824 - new API for launching subprocesses
2826 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
2828 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
2830 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
2831 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
2833 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
2835 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
2837 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
2838 actions and listing apps and actions
2840 - bash tab completion is supported
2842 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
2844 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
2845 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
2847 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
2848 DBusActivatable=true
2850 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
2851 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
2856 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
2858 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
2859 class and inotify backend
2861 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
2862 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
2864 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
2869 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
2870 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
2871 when there are invalid schemas installed
2873 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
2877 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
2878 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
2880 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
2883 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
2884 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
2885 semantics of the interface in each case
2887 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
2888 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
2890 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
2892 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
2893 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
2894 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
2895 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
2899 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
2902 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
2904 * Portability improvements
2906 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
2908 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
2909 actually support it (like Hurd)
2911 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
2913 * Other small API changes/additions
2915 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
2916 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
2917 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
2919 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
2921 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
2922 G_LOG_ERROR messages
2924 * GMainContext/GSource
2926 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
2928 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
2929 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
2930 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
2931 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
2932 broken and should probably be fixed.
2934 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
2935 require use of a linked list
2939 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
2940 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
2941 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
2943 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
2947 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
2948 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
2949 gphoto, archive, at least).
2951 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
2953 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
2956 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
2957 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
2958 (which shared exactly the same bug)
2960 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
2962 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
2964 * Many documentation improvements
2967 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
2968 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
2969 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

3016 Brazilian Portuguese
3022 What's new in Glib 2.38
3023 ========================
3025 * Application support
3027 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
3028 desktop entry specification
3030 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
3031 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
3032 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
3034 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
3035 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
3036 to launch other applications
3038 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
3039 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
3043 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
3044 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
3045 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
3046 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
3047 any problems that this may have caused.
3049 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
3050 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
3051 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
3052 (allowing memory savings)
3054 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
3055 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
3056 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
3058 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
3059 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
3062 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
3063 without destroying one of the objects involved
3067 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
3068 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
3069 with a finite number of cases
3071 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
3072 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
3074 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
3075 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
3076 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
3077 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
3080 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
3084 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
3085 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
3086 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
3088 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
3090 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
3091 and an API to check them
3093 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
3094 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
3096 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
3097 with most functions, but this is not recommended
3101 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
3102 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
3103 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
3106 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
3107 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
3108 particular directory (akin to 'du').
3110 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
3115 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
3116 allow for regexp matching on streams
3118 - GVariant has two new APIs for constructing strings that allow
3119 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
3120 g_variant_new_printf()
3124 - we can now generate TAP output
3126 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
3127 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases
3129 - g_test_trap_subprocess() provides a portable alternative to
3134 - GLib now builds on Android against the bionic C library

3256 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.4 to 2.37.5
3257 ==============================================
3259 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
3260 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
3261 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
3262 the application with g_action_map_add_action().
3264 * GPropertyAction is a new type of GAction that represents the value
3265 of a property on an object, and allows to change the value when
3268 * GNetworkMonitorNetlink can now handle default routes via a device.
3270 * The gsettings tool now reports failure to write a key (e.g. because
3271 the key was locked down)

3274 - g_variant_new_printf
3275 - g_action_print_detailed_name

3444 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.36.0 to 2.37.0
3445 ==============================================
3447 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
3448 and a parser API for them is now provided
3450 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
3451 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
3452 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

3513 ==============================================
3515 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
3517 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
3518 the destination file
3520 - fix some 'available since' annotations

3545 ==============================================
3547 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
3548 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
3549 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
3550 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

3604 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
3605 ==============================================
3607 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
3608 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
3609 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
3610 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
3611 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
3615 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris

3640 ==============================================
3642 This is a quick follow-up release with a few bug fixes.
3644 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
3645 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
3647 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
3648 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
3650 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)
3663 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.4 to 2.35.6
3664 ==============================================
3666 * GUnixFdSource is a new way to add file descriptors
3669 * g_source_set_ready_time lets you mark a source to become
3670 ready at a specified monotonic time
3672 * The internal visibility handling of GLib has been reworked
3674 * GFileMonitor will now automatically use fam instead of inotify
3677 * The file monitor implementation can now be overridden with
3678 the GIO_USE_FILE_MONITOR environment variable

3776 * Translation updates:
3791 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
3792 ==============================================
3794 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
3795 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
3796 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
3797 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
3798 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
3800 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
3801 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
3802 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
3803 particular, are incompatible.
3805 * Bugs fixed in this release:

3850 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
3851 ==============================================
3853 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
3854 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
3855 causing regressions in applications.
3857 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
3858 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
3859 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
3862 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
3863 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
3864 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
3866 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
3868 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
3870 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
3872 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
3874 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
3876 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
3878 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
3880 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
3882 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
3884 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

3934 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
3935 ==============================================
3937 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
3938 give feedback if they cause trouble:
3940 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
3941 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
3943 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
3945 The remaining changes should not cause problems.
3947 * g_type_init() is no longer necessary and has been deprecated
3949 * GTask (the new GAsyncResult implementation) has landed
3951 * GLib version macros updated
3953 * Update to Unicode 6.2
3955 * Thread safety fixes for GFileMonitor in non-default main contexts
3957 * GTimeZone support for old-format zoneinfo database (as on Mac OS)
3959 * g_settings_bind() now works with non-canonical property names

4778 ==============================================
4781 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
4782 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
4783 to an overridden property
4784 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
4785 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.
4787 * GHashTable has grown new convenience api for use as a set:
4788 g_hash_table_add, g_hash_table_contains

4832 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
4833 ==============================================
4835 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
4836 moved to GtkApplication.
4838 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
4839 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
4840 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
4841 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
4843 * lots of documentation improvements
4845 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
4847 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
4848 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
4850 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
4852 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
4854 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
4856 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
4857 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
4860 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
4861 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

4872 * Translations updated:
4876 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
4877 ==============================================
4879 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
4880 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
4881 There have also been many related improvements to action group
4884 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
4885 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
4886 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
4889 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
4890 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
4891 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
4892 through an idle on the context.
4894 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
4895 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
4896 fixes here and there.
4898 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
4899 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
4900 API available outside GLib
4902 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

4941 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
4943 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
4944 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
4945 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
4947 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
4950 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
4951 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
4952 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
4955 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
4956 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
4959 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
4962 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
4963 - various GIO file and stream fixes
4964 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
4966 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
4967 =================================================
4969 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
4970 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
4972 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
4973 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
4974 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
4975 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
4976 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
4977 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
4978 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
4979 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
4980 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
4981 required (and has been deprecated)
4982 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
4983 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
4984 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
4985 without explicit initialisation.
4986 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
4987 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
4988 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
4990 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
4991 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
4992 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
4993 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
4994 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
4995 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
4996 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
4998 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
4999 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
5000 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
5001 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
5002 - GThread is now a refcounted type
5003 - other implementation details changed
5005 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
5006 deprecated/ directory.
5008 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
5009 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
5010 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
5012 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
5013 platform over a year ago).
5015 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
5016 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
5018 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
5019 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
5021 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
5022 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
5023 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
5024 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
5027 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
5028 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
5031 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
5033 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
5034 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
5036 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
5037 in a multi-threaded program
5039 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
5040 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
5043 - drop -uninstalled variants
5044 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
5046 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
5047 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
5048 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
5050 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
5052 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
5053 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
5056 - many code generation updates and improvements
5057 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
5060 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
5061 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
5063 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
5065 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
5068 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
5069 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
5071 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
5072 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
5074 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
5076 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
5080 * Partial list of bugs closed:
5081 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

5192 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
5193 ================================================
5196 - unix signal watches now match the API of all of the other sources
5197 - revert the addition of g_date_time_source_new () from last release
5199 * networking and other fixes for Solaris
5200 - we no longer support symbolic port names (ie: from /etc/services)
5201 - check if -lsocket is needed
5202 - fix g_socket_details_from_fd()
5204 - fix some harmless warnings
5206 * GDateTime improvements:
5207 - generally improved standards compliance (with C99)
5208 - support C99-specified format strings: %g, %G, %V, %c, %C, %w

5507 ==============================================
5509 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
5510 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
5511 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
5512 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
5513 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
5514 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
5516 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
5517 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
5519 * Access to quarks is now lockless
5521 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved

5574 * Updated translations:
5583 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
5584 ==============================================
5587 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
5588 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
5589 an 'object manager' pattern:
5590 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
5591 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
5592 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
5593 And server-side implementations:
5594 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
5595 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
5596 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
5600 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
5604 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
5605 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
5606 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
5607 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
5610 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
5611 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
5614 * Unix-specific APIs:
5615 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
5616 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
5617 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
5618 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
5619 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
5620 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

5644 * Updated translations
5651 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
5652 ==============================================
5655 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
5656 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
5657 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
5660 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
5661 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
5662 situations has been improved
5665 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
5666 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
5669 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
5670 match strcmp() semantics
5671 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
5672 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
5673 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
5675 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
5676 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
5679 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
5681 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
5683 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
5684 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
5685 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

6019 - The gsettings utility has a list-recursively command
6020 - The gsettings utility has commandline completion for enum values
6022 * GLib is now linked against librt and uses monotonic time for
6023 timeouts and GPeriod sources. GSource has a new g_source_get_time()
6024 which returns monotonic time, and g_source_get_current_time() has

6041 * Translation updates:
6047 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
6048 ==============================================
6050 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
6051 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
6053 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
6054 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
6056 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
6058 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
6060 g_settings_get_range
6061 g_settings_range_check
6062 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
6064 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
6065 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
6067 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
6068 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
6070 g_main_context_invoke
6071 g_main_context_invoke_full
6073 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
6074 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
6075 looking for default applications.
6077 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
6078 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
6079 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
6080 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
6082 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
6083 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
6084 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.

6342 | WARNING: There have been no breaks in API or ABI. Weird, eh? |
6343 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6345 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
6346 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
6347 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
6348 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
6351 There have been many other improvements, however:
6354 - vastly improved test coverage
6355 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
6356 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
6357 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib
6360 - add a g_return_if_fail (utf8) to g_variant_new_string()
6363 - perform extra sanity checks when serialising messages
6364 - add API to query and set the byteorder of a GDBusMessage

6375 without mapping functions
6376 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation
6379 - improve closure support for bindings
6380 - copy GSettings INVERT_BOOLEAN flag
6383 - fix another complicated GCancellable deadlock possibility

6406 =====================================================
6408 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6409 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
6410 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
6411 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
6412 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
6413 | required (and will be along soon). |
6414 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6417 - cleanup automake setup
6418 - rename configure.in to configure.ac
6419 - various docs fixups
6420 - move glibconfig.h to glib/

6424 - add support for vendor override files (to change the default values
6426 - change GSettingsBackend vtable
6427 - add g_settings_reset()
6428 - support binding to G_TYPE_STRV properties
6431 - many bug fixes, including a serialisation fix
6432 - stop handling incoming connections as soon as stop() is called
6433 - proper support for file descriptor passing
6434 - new flags parameter for sending messages
6435 - new flags parameter for subscribing to signals
6436 - always reset the message serial when sending a message unless
6437 G_DBUS_SEND_MESSAGE_FLAGS_PRESERVE_SERIAL is given

6474 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.25.10 to GLib 2.25.11
6475 =====================================================
6477 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6478 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
6479 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
6480 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
6481 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
6484 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
6485 -Bsymbolic-functions
6486 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
6487 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
6488 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
6489 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
6490 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6493 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
6494 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
6495 nobody was doing that.
6496 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
6498 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
6499 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
6501 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
6502 have a serial number
6503 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
6505 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
6507 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
6508 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
6509 has finished running on GDBus services.
6510 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
6511 this due to the obvious race)
6512 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
6513 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
6516 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
6517 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
6518 arguments and different behaviour
6519 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
6520 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
6521 strings instead of utf8 strings
6522 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
6523 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
6524 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
6525 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
6526 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
6527 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
6528 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
6529 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
6530 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
6533 - improved documentation
6534 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
6535 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
6536 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
6537 overridden using <override>.
6538 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
6540 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
6541 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
6542 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
6543 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
6544 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
6545 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
6546 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
6547 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
6548 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
6549 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
6550 being set due to a premature free
6551 - command line tool: bash completion support
6552 - chain up in _finalize
6553 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
6555 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
6556 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
6557 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
6559 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
6560 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
6561 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
6562 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
6563 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
6567 - always intern GBinding prop names
6568 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
6569 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
6570 - GNode docs improvements
6571 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts
6572 - fix leaks in the inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6573 - annotate all custom GIO GSources to improve debugging (e.g. using
6577 - Turn on glibc malloc checking features for make check
6578 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
6579 - improved tests for GKeyfile
6580 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
6581 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
6582 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
6583 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
6584 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
6586 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL
6587 561248 Improve return value description from g_node_prev/next_sibling()
6588 570036 Add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
6589 576833 g_sprintf add a reference to g_strdup_printf
6590 576854 g_strconcat() documentation should provide a hint about bad l10n
6591 582227 reference: add other URI functions to 'URI Functions' section
6592 599223 should provide g_spawn_* variants that take a GAppLaunchContext
6593 610784 array test failing
6594 613057 Leak in inotify GFileMonitor implementation
6595 620536 Annotate all custom GIO GSource using g_source_set_name

7280 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
7281 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
7282 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
7283 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
7284 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
7285 while loading or saving it.
7286 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
7287 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
7288 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
7291 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
7292 interfaces to dynamic types.

8019 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation

8022 also uses less memory overall.

8027 that a GError is set or unset
8029 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
8031 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
8032 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
8034 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
8035 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.
